    The festive menu had lots of choice, the food was amazingly tasty, I had the cod my friend had pork belly, both were unfaultable. We had a number of sides - perfection and shared a dessert. Highly recommend

    Amazing roast dinner - great quality and plentiful. Beef wellington was okay. Meat - amazing but pastry and mushrooms were soggy and didn’t taste that great. Roast turkey was divine and vegetables and trimmings all perfect £7 for 4 slices of bread is a rip off. Also puddings were £14+ for a very small Christmas pudding is just too much. Service great - it’s hectic and loud but the decorations are so Christmassy :-)

    Although the food was good - I was very disappointed to see that they only offered a limited menu. I had emailed prior and discussed the Sunday Roast for my daughters 16th but when we arrived they no longer did the Sunday menu and had moved onto the Festive Menu! Side dishes were very expensive - £14 for cauliflower cheese but you had to purchase extra sides as they only put 2 roast potatoes on your plate! Also drinks were weirdly priced - the house lager was the same prices as my youngest daughters orange juice!

    I went to roast on my birthday, the restaurant was so busy the staff could not tend to us properly, we had a number of different servers. I ordered a side that never came and has to ask quite a few times where our drinks were. Overall the experience was lovely on the basis of ambiance and drinks. The food was OK, a little cold but I doubt I'd be returning.

    The food and setting speaks for itself and it had the most amazing Christmas vibe - just what you want for your festive, friend gathering. The service was spectacular. The person looking after the table couldn't have done a better job. Most of us had been there before so we knew the food would be great. It really is and there is great variety too.

    Poor service. Wasn't worth the money. Very noisy and food, although food was luke warm and the menu was limited due to it being the festive menu only. We expected to be able to choose from normal a lacarte menu.

    We went last year around the same time and the food was a much better value for money. It’s a shame as we wanted to make this a yearly thing but this year has really out us off. Service felt rushed as if they wanted us out and we weren’t there for long. Food felt like it has been under a heat lamp for a while, some potatoes cooked and some partially raw. It was worth the money last year as I couldn’t fault it so this year around we took friends and the experience was totally the opposite so I would no longer recommend.

    A great room decorated superbly, with outstanding food enjoyed by all 8 of us. The only slight dissatisfaction was with the moody and abrupt attitude of our waiter, waqar. Who despite dropping dirty cutlery on one guest and also offering no apology, was short on patience and lacked any charm. Otherwise a fantastic restaurant, great food and a super evening.

    The food at roast is very average. Not worth the price you pay at all. The turkey is very dry. Rosemary and garlic potatoes are essentially just plain potatoes. The gravy is water and the sides are very average. We were initially quite excited to go to roast but the food was very underwhelming and making us wish we spent that money elsewhere.

    The Christmas decorations were amazing - beautiful surroundings for a special dinner. The restaurant was busy and at times it felt like the staff were overly pressured to move us along when we were ordering (which I appreciate when its busy in the kitchen, but it did detract somewhat from our celebration). Once we had ordered we hardly saw the staff again (though I quite liked this). The restaurant was loud - it would have been difficult for anyone with hearing aids to engage in conversation. Thankfully we were young and it wasnt so bad for us. The food was delicious, portions were reasonable though the prices seemed excessive. I had the Turkey Roast and while it was good, I don't think it was good value. The vegetarian options ordered (the nut roast and aubergines) were especially small considering they were almost as expensive as the meat options! I suppose you are paying for the decorations and the ambiance. Overall we had a good time, the food was tasty, but I am not sure the value for money was there.

    Beautiful venue looking very festive. But the service wasn’t very smiley. The waiting staff were fairly efficient and looked very smart in their attire but just lacked that personal touch. We requested crispy bacon but one had to be sent back as it wasn’t well cooked. The sausages were equally on the pale side while the bubble and squeak didn’t look like bubble and squeak and was tasteless. Such a shame as the location and architecture really have the wow factor but the food and service were below par.

    The staff were not good, took 45 mins to get our coffees ,drinks and food. When the food did arrive it was nearly cold and many orders were missing items. I have been coming to roast for years, it was always good food, good value, but after Saturday I am unlikely to come again

    The food was good, but it was clear that the kitchen was very busy as the beef wasn’t as warm as I would have expected. To be clear the food was well cooked, it just felt like a busy service meant it didn’t get to us as quickly as it might have done. There was many Christmas parties being catered to, which I suspect was the challenge.

    No lounge seating for pre drinks due to Christmas. Lovely food but service was poor as we never received our order of wine and had to leave after 1 1/2 hour sitting. When we reminded waiter as they had forgotton and by then we only had 15 minutes to drink it!!!!

    Lovely location but food was average. Clearly understaffed for the number of bookings accepted. We had to ask for a desert menu and prompt drink orders, then told we couldn’t have a desert as they needed the table back (even though other male sitters had arrived earlier and been served). Did accept desert order after explaining no one had bothered taking our order. Unapologetic and still added automatic gratuity. Disappointing.
