The food was absolutely amazing. You’ve just earned some new customers. Thank you sooo much, it exceeded our expectations xxx

Cristina

Our meal was provided at a family party in Lustleigh Village Hall on the 11th February 2024. The food was stunning and totally unexpected at such an unusual venue. Piping hot, beautifully presented and more than enough to eat! An excellent effort- well done.

Steve

Went to Christopher's party too. Wow, great roast dinner! It was fantastic! Keep it up. Would thoroughly recommend.

Brenda

Alex provided an absolutely first class, delectable roast dinner for us all yesterday. Going by the number of spotlessly clean plates, I would say everyone else thought the same. It was clear to see how methodical and meticulous Alex is in his kitchen realm. You need to be doing more events like this! If anyone is thinking about having a roast dinner and catering for the masses, you need to use The Roasted Root. Everyone at this party would highly recommend Alex, he's the best! All the best, and I look forward to hearing about your future events success.”

Some of our customer reviews

"I messaged the Roasted Root mainly to ask if they deliver to my area. On the off chance I asked if I could order for Sunday as it was past their deadline. They managed to fit me in and the customer service and ease of ordering are brilliant. The food arrived on time, piping hot and handed over with a smile. You really need to taste this for yourselves, but the braised cabbage is gorgeous, roast potatoes crunchy with a fluffy inside, and everything went together well and tasted delicious. I will definitely be ordering again. Thanks guys."

Andy

"Amazing! My family get a roast delivered every week, and I look forward to it all week. We had our Christmas lunch delivered too—no cooking, minimal washing up, and the food is so delicious. I'm a veggie and have options to choose from each week (the parcels are my favourite). My stepdad loves the loyalty card as he can get a little something extra now and again."

Emma

"We ordered Christmas dinner to save having to cook two in three days for families. It was amazingly tasty and good portions, and put the one I made a couple of days later to shame. The millionaire mousse to top it off was a particular highlight for me, but I can thoroughly recommend everything. Vegetarian options: Almost everything on the menu is vegan (come on Google, keep up) with obvious exceptions (meat options, cauliflower cheese, Yorkshire puddings, and some desserts). Made choosing (mainly in my case) vegan food super easy."

Martin

"On Christmas Day, we had the pleasure of receiving our chosen Roasted Root meals. There were four adults, two being vegans. The choice of menu was more than adequate, and the food delivered did not disappoint. Each adult in our party had chosen a three-course option, which was delivered in recyclable cartons. There was ample food, all of which was hot, flavoursome, and of top quality. Particular reference should be made to the ham hock starter, the turkey wrapped in bacon, and the chef's creation of the toffee and pecan meringue roulade."

Pat

"Absolutely delighted to have found this service for home delivery of a great Sunday roast! The food was delicious, delivered at the time requested, good portion size, excellent value for money."

Julie

"What an amazing find! Recommend The Roasted Root to all! Delicious food cooked to perfection & bursting with flavour. Service, presentation, and quality! Forget the pubs or restaurants—The Roasted Root do it better. Homely food but elevated, full of vegan and veggie options! This is my new go-to for lazy Sundays! Really easy to order and collect. Fantastic prices and you are supporting small businesses! Well done! Keep doing what you're doing!"
