Roast Restaurant
Roast is a British 120-seat restaurant based in London’s oldest food market, Borough Market. Roast uses seasonal ingredients to create classical British cooking that support Britain’s farmers and producers, many of whom are stallholders in the market itself. Roast was opened in 2006 by restaurateur Iqbal Wahhab OBE, founder of the Cinnamon Club in Westminster. Roast serves British food with an emphasis on "using the best of British seasonal produce". The menu at Roast is well known for its modern take on classic British dishes such the slow-roast Wicks Manor pork belly with mashed potatoes and Bramley apple sauce. Roast is located in a building with a glass frontage encased in the portico from the old Covent Garden flower market, with views of St Paul’s Cathedral and Borough Market. The breakfast menu at Roast has been named Best breakfast in London by The Good Food Guide.

History
The Floral Hall

Roast is located in the top floor of Borough Market's Floral Hall building. In 2004, what is now the south portico of the restaurant was re-erected, having been dismantled in the 1990s from its previous location in Covent Garden. Before Roast opened in 2006 and brought the Floral Hall back to life, the building was only used for storage.
