Recommended by my cousins and it didn’t disappoint. The grilled half chicken was really tasty and had a nice marinated layer on top, crispy and fresh and chopped into pieces making it easier to eat. It wouldn’t be enough if hungry on its own so best to get with something else. I went all out and decided to also get the steak box with chips. It was spiced with onions and ingredients which combined well to make it juicy and succulent. Would definitely come back here again, we all enjoyed it and they had other options. On a bank holiday it was quite busy but is well worth it didn’t have to wait long. The staff kept the tables clean and on a sunny day it was nice having the extension open.

Roast & Co has won my heart. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by warm smiles from everyone! Even though it was extremely busy and hectic, the cashier was patient and explained the entire menu to me. I couldn’t decide as everything on the menu sounded amazing! He knew I was visiting from Los Angeles so he recommended the platter. The mixed platter is the move!!! Every single thing on the platter was just amazing! I expected to eat only a little bit as the portions are huge! The food was so good I DEMOLISHED THAT PLATE! I was full, I couldn’t walk but then they came out with the milk cake. As you know, there’s always space for dessert. Milk cake with pistachio and rose. It’s the perfect combination. Not too sweet! I expected to be in debt for years after eating like a king in the UK but to my surprise, everything was super reasonably priced!!! TLDR: go here and eat. 10/10

I got two boxes: one with chicken and chips plus lamb chops, and another with chicken and chips and doner – both £33 with drinks . The chicken was really tasty and juicy. Lamb chops were decent, but the doner was a bit hard. abit pricey for the portion of meat, but I’d go back just for the chicken
