Breakfast at Roast, Borough Market

Roast Restaurant Breakfast

The Roast restaurant won the Good food guide 'Best breakfast in London' 2008 so we figured with that sort of recommendation it just had to be tried. A little research on their website soon revealed that trying this would be a pricey affair but we figured that as Borough Market was a bit of a trip we should hang the expense and give it a go.

Service

We were quickly given menus and served drinks and the service generally was very good, efficient and friendly without being intruding.

The full borough breakfast

The full borough breakfast is Roasts Full english. 2 sausages,streaky bacon, 2 eggs (fried, poached or scrambled), black pudding, tomato, mushroom and fried bread. We tried poached and scrambled eggs which were both very well cooked though we were not given a choice of how we would have liked them. The bacon was totally crisped and it was good bacon. The sausages were meaty and well seasoned and not overpowering for a breakfast sausage. The Mushroom and tomato were good but the highlight was the black pudding, soft and creamy and moist - a real delight. However if you fancy trying the black pudding they buy it from Orkney Rose so you can sample this delicacy without the cost of breakfast at Roasts.

Omelette

The omelette was well cooked, slightly moist and tasty.

Orkney Kippers

Served with butter and lemon. Well smoked kippers with a strong deep flavour.

Presentation

The food was all simply presented with absolutely no fuss at all.
