It’s amazing isn’t it? I have been studying at Guy’s Campus located at London Bridge for the past 6 years of my life (and wonderful years too) and yet for half that duration I was oblivious to the fact that Borough Market was literally a stone’s throw away. Borough Market is as much a ‘farmer’s’ market as it is a tourist attraction. It does stock produce from some of the finest suppliers in and around the country. When I did find out about Borough market, I never failed to sneak there to grab my lunch on Fridays. One of the shops that I enjoyed going to pick a bap from was Roast! to go who do some pretty good Roast Pork with crackling and apple sauce sandwich. It did intrigue me to find out (again after some googling) to find out that there was actually a restaurant situated above. Aren’t you glad the NHS is pumping out observant student doctors like me?
My decision to visit Roast was actually an impromptu one. I was out and abouts in central London and wanted to try out Giaconda Dining Room at Tottenham Court Road. However the restaurant was fully booked when I called and instead I trundled back to Guy’s at 5pm hungry (I had not had any lunch for want of laziness that day) and in need of a restaurant. Anyways, long story cut short, I managed to get a table at Roast whom started dinner service at 530pm.
