Roast has an enviable location in the glass portico above Borough Market – set right by London Bridge, it has fine views of The Shard, St Paul’s Cathedral and the market itself. The restaurant is set over two floors, with views of its busy kitchen. Roast is a staunch advocate of British food and drink, offering menus with a strong focus on sustainable ingredients from UK-based suppliers and sourcing produce from the market below. Available to hire on an exclusive or semi-private basis, the venue is a good spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner. If it’s a standing occasion, the Roast Bar can be hired for canapé receptions alongside live music. Weddings at Roast

May 2025Took my nan here for her birthday and we had the afternoon tea. Some of us were late but the staff waited for everyone to arrive and once seated there was no pressure for us to rush. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and my nan loved it. She was very impressed by the size of the individual tea pots. We had both the regular and Halal tea menus and they were both delicious. The scotch eggs on both were amazing and the cakes very flavoursome. They gave the birthday girl a little chocolate tart which made her day she was so happy with it, so thank you for that nice little touch. We weren't able to eat everything so were given boxes to take our left overs in. The staff were very friendly and attentive, giving a 10 out of 10 service. I recommend coming through Stony road entrance of the market instead of London Bridge way as it is less busy and easier to get to the restaurant.

May 2025We really enjoyed our Sunday lunch at Roast. We had the beef and lamb, both of which were very good and the meat was tender. The roast potatoes were deliciously crispy and we really enjoyed the mixed vegetables too. The freshly made mint sauce with the lamb was an excellent addition. All in all, a very good roast. The restaurant is light and airy and the view is over Borough market. The entrance way is a little over the top, in my opinion, with all the floral instagram style decorations, but the inside of the restaurant is less so. The formal dining area is quite nice. Riccardo, our waiter, was charismatic and friendly making the experience even nicer. We look forward to going back.

May 2025This was like a hidden gem inside borough market. Beautiful decor and equally beautiful cuisine. We had a private room so it was easy to chat; however, when the door opened it was quite loud out in the dining area. The service was top notch, prompt, clean, attention to detail - I couldn't ask for anything more. We started with some Scotch eggs and scallops, both of which were fantastic. Our entire table of 10 ordered the wellington and it came out looking and tasting amazing. Needed a pinch of salt, but that could be my American palette shining through. Fantastic sides with carrots, spinach, mushrooms and cheesy cauliflower. The drinks were great as well. I ordered the Big Ben and it was a hit at the table.

June 2025This was a solid place for tea. The rules were a bit annoying to read on the menu and booking page but in reality were fine. Food was good. Tea selection was fine. Not very large but plenty of variety. Service is good. Scone is a bit too big. Tasted great but I’d prefer two smaller scones than the massive one provided. I will make it back here again.
