Roast News

Roast founder Iqbal Wahhab has bought a pair of Hunter wellies and with head cook Lawrence Keogh is visiting a number of farms around Britain over the coming months.

A visit to Northfields Farm has resulted in an experiment with a cross breed of Native Aberdeen Angus and Dexter cattle. Future visits include going to Jody Sheckter's Laverstoke Park, Farmer Sharp's Herdwick Mutton in Cumbria, as well as Sillfield Farm where Peter Gott is starting to make bespoke bacon and sausages for the busy Borough Market restaurant.

Lawrence Keogh is on a mission to make the perfect bacon butty, as Iqbal is soon to launch a luxury sandwich stall just by the entrance to the restaurant using bread freshly baked in the market.
