Friday 9th August

Good Morning, Warrington. It’s Friday, and From Warrington is here with your local news and events— more reliable than a train from Warrington to Manchester.

In today’s From Warrington:

• Things to do in Warrington this weekend (mainly craft and food markets)📆 

• We visit “Roast” 🍗

• Local news Roundup

Let’s jump right in.

Have You Tried Roast? 🍗 

I heard people talk about this place several times over the past few months and had to give it a go.

What is it? Well, as the name says, it serves mainly roasted food at great prices.

What we have tried:

• The sub sandwiches are £2.50 each. They're much cheaper than a subway and really good for the price.

• The chicken strips. These are good for the price, you get 4 of them for £3 (I think). You can get chips AND a drink for an extra upgrade, about £1 extra.

We haven’t tried the fantastic roast dinner bundle for £10.

Here is a picture of what you get:

Overall verdict: Roast is great. The only issue is that there’s always a big queue, meaning getting served can take ages. Is it worth the wait? We think it is.

Have you tried Roast, and what did you think of it? Let us know by replying to the email.
