Our tea spread
Jean V.

LOVED the Afternoon Tea experience, WOW! The price for the ambiance, food and service were top notch. I will recommend this to everyone. We researched several afternoon tea experiences for our day in London, and this one had great reviews on multiple platforms online. The walk through Bourough Market was nice and then we come to this floralscape at the front of Roast that is so picturesque. But walk into the actual restaurant is what blew me away. The floral decor and decor of the restaurant, along with the style of the staff and bar is aesthetically pleasing. It made for GREAT PICTURES and videos. The tea sets were beautiful as well. WELL-CRAFTED spread! The staff and service was top notch. Everyone was knowledgable, friendly and attentive. I was happy with the price we paid for the tea and food selection of afternoon tea. Everything was quality and tasty. It was the perfect amount of food and I enjoyed the taste of everything I ate. Don't miss out on this experience at the Roast!

Menu for Afternoon Tea

Afternoon Tea was very good. Braised Beef Croquet & Scotch Egg were the best warm items, and the Apple Crumble Tart was our favorite dessert. I'm not a salmon fan, so that was my least favorite item. But all the others were very good. Warm scone were very good. I got tea, but you could get coffee. If the ask if you want still or sparkling water, you will be charged for the bottle. Ask for Tap water.....it's free. Service was great.

Came here for a work dinner and it was a decent meal! The ambiance was quite nice due to it being on top of Borough Market but it was otherwise a standard upscale dinner spot. I had the beef wellington for the first time and maybe the last time. It was just quite thick.

A beautiful restaurant above the market. I loved the floral entry at the base of the stairs. Unfortunately the food wasn't great at all. I had the Potato & Nettle Soup that tasted like grass. And the Roasted Seabass that was so salty it was un edible. The food on the market floor was better.

I'd only eaten a small piece that was on top so this is not a half-eaten portion.

My lessons learned is that you should always go with a local's recommendation. My friend had wanted to book us into Hawksmoor for steak at Borough Market, but I was seriously craving Sunday roast. Since it wasn't Sunday, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Roast was both in the BM but also, serves a Christmas roast with all the trimmings. The service was pretty poor...the waiter was just so unfriendly and unaccommodating. Tried our best to interact with him as minimally as possible. The food was a 0. I ordered the beef roast which was the driest piece of meat ever. The Yorkshire pudding was the best part of the meal. I ordered the rice pudding which was pretty disgustingly bland....tasted like some you can get in a hospital canteen but just a big bowl of it. The manager took this off my bill which still came to 165 GBP for 2 ppl. Total waste of money. Don't let the festive decor fool you into thinking that the food is any good, as I did.

One of the things I was most looking forward to during my trip to London was a Sunday roast dinner. But I was horrified to find out that Sunday roasts are typically only served ON SUNDAYS! The horror! I was only there for one Sunday and had no clue how I was going to choose from all the amazing options. Cue Roast! Welcome to the only restaurant in town that serves piping hot Sunday roasts EVERY DAY. There are other things on the menu, but clearly roasts are their specialty. I got the roast beef, which was amazing, and my husband got a delicious melt-in-your-mouth beef Wellington. Neither of us regretted our choices, the meat was fabulous! I was surprised to find that I liked the potatoes nearly as much as my luscious, perfectly cooked roast beef!. They had great flavor and a nice crispy outside. Service was friendly, the food came out quickly, and overall, this is a meal I will definitely remember.

The best scones.

We had afternoon tea here during our last day in London. This is a beautiful restaurant that is literally above the hustle and bustle of Borough Market. The staff were very professional and deferential, and the food and tea were amazing. The scones were the very best that I have ever had. The cost of afternoon tea was a bit higher than in many places, so it's definitely more of a splurge, but definitely one that you will remember.

This restaurant is so pretty and has a really lively atmosphere. Our service was okay, the server seemed pretty annoyed with us the entire time. The cocktails were bomb & super tasty. I didn't enjoy the beef Wellington, it was my first time trying so I think it's just personal preference. My friends got the roast beef which was delicious &. I would go there to get that dish again!

Scotch Egg

Tea time here is awesome- love their scotch egg. Came back here for their beef Wellington. Of course it is delicious, but my another highlight is the side dish- truffle matched potato.

There is not a better was to spend Sunday afternoon roast than the Sunday roast at Roast in Borough Market. A big bright bustling restaurant with great service starting with your welcome at the front desk, to ordering your first drink, to looking at that great big roast with beef, Yorkshire pudding and vegetables. It's an excellent way to spend a Sunday afternoon with friends. Yesterday was my 4th time going over the past few years. Wander around Borough Market before lunch because the Market vendors begin to pack up around 3 pm.

Scotch Egg £12

We came here in 2016 and it was a wonderful Sunday dinner and we could not wait to return. Sadly, this time the meal was very disappointing and stupid expensive. To be brief, the yorkshire pudding was sad and flat, the roast cold and way too rare (ordered it med rare), and the serving much smaller than before. We shared an app, one cocktail, two meals, shared dessert and it was £130.

Tea

I made a reservation for afternoon tea for two. The food was well prepared, good quality, and very delicious. You get a lot of food in my opinion. The tea was also delicious and lovely. I opted for the tea and a cocktail. I ordered the Big Ben which was delicious and presented very well. Overall it was a delightful afternoon tea experience.

Thanks so much to the hostess for fitting us in, on a Sunday, without reservations. We ordered the 48-Day dry aged roast beef with Yorkshire pudding, so that we could try a typical English dish, and it did not disappointment! The meat was tender and the whole meal had great flavor! So glad we got to eat here!

Battersea Pie Station, under the arches of the lower ground floor of Covent Garden's Market…read moreBuilding, serves up proper British grub. Simply look for The Pie Shop sign and pick your pie which is served with silky smooth mashed potatoes and lashings of rich gravy. Every time I eat a pie this place is my benchmark for the best pies ever! The  menu at Battersea Pie Station includes classics like steak and stout, minced beef and onion and chicken and mushroom, plus more creative, veggie options including butternut squash and goat's cheese. The steak and stout is my ultimate favorite! This place is my go to pie place every time I'm in London. I always try to stay in Covent Garden just so I can come here. This is my basis of the perfect meat pie with the pleasingly firm crusts and sides of mash and roasted potatoes are so delicious. The rich red-wine gravy comes separately in a small jug. I smother the pie with the gravy. Ingredient quality was excellent. They have mini pies and the regular sized pies. Even for a counter-service place this little cafe is terrific value - and you will be surprised that for Covent Garden you can eat a reasonably priced and uber delicious meal that makes me full the whole day! 5 stars can't wait to come back!

Mrs. Lovett has nothing on this place! Perfect for a quick humble meat pie dinner before a fancy…read morepants opera. Every dish I tried was a hit. Minced Beef & Onion: The most popular, apparently. Smooth and moist inside with a buttery flaky outside. Steak & Stout: Same great crust, but with a very distinctive inside, chunks of firm roast and thick gravy where you could actually taste the stout. Probably my favorite pie here. Chicken & Mushroom: A nice variation from beef, but by no means lesser. With it's large chunks and umami gravy, this was like a quick hit fix for when craving a proper chicken pot pie. Mash & Gravy: The mash was smooth and buttery. The gravy was more than plentiful. Kinda lives under the shadow of the delicious pies though. Sticky Toffee Pudding: Good, but not great. The toffee sauce felt a bit too thick and wasn't as warmed as I like it. The sponge cake was alright, but kinda dry, like they just plopped into the toffee sauce puddle. But it did do a good job of soaking up the sauce with a little spoon dexterity.
