With roast season I’m full swing, I was very excited to be invited down to @embers_restaurant_ to try their new wood fire cooked sharing roast

Love the concept of this restaurant with open fires and @gozney some cooking offering smokey flavours across all the dishes including the Three Meat Feast which included Roast Pork, Rump Beef and Smoked Lamb and Mint Sausages which was a lovely selection and all local produce which was even better!

The sharing roast was also accompanied by Skillet Roasted Potatoes, Cauliflower Cheese Purée, Roasted Carrot, Charred Broccoli, Hispi Cabbage Topped with a Sage & Onion Crumb so there was a lot to enjoy. The Beef was slightly rarer than I would usually have but my husband enjoyed the more pink slices and I was slightly disappointed to have no Yorkshire pudding but there was a lot of food to off set it

The cauliflower cheese purée in particular was delicious and I was very impressed with Lamb and Mint sausages. The Skillet Cooked roast potatoes were really crispy and tasted great too. The gravy was very rich and packed full of flavour so was a nice addition to the roast too

For dessert we had the ‘Rolo’ which tasted exactly like the confectionery favourite and went perfectly with ice cream, we shared this but I could have easily had one to myself!

The cocktails are a standout for me, we had the Rosa Spritz and the Craig David Colada which was really delicious and a very fun twist on the traditional tequila and pineapple shot, would definitely recommend this cocktail in particular

Although the place doesn’t have a child friendly vibe to it, there are high chairs and a children’s menu available but no changing facilities so it’s not somewhere I would personally bring young children but it’s nice to see they are catering for any that do visit

Overall I really enjoyed this meal. A lot of effort and thought has gone into the sharing roasts and that is evident from the grief mouth full. Definitely worth a visit if you enjoy your high end roasts that come out to share

I was invited to try this one. As always, all opinions are my own.
