About Ripper Roasts

Ripper Roasts serves unpretentious, slow-roasted carvery comfort with generous helpings of meat, crisp roast potatoes, and rich house gravy. Locales in Newtown treat this counter-service staple as a trusted shortcut when home cooking isn't happening. Slices of tender roast lamb and slow-cooked beef pair with classic trimmings—from bubbling cauliflower cheese and scalloped potatoes to deep-fried beef croquettes. Hearty dinner packs easily feed two hungry adults or an entire family on the run, rounded out by takeaway tubs of chocolate mousse.

  • Traditional Carvery Classics: Carvery choices span slow-roasted beef, tender lamb, pork, and chicken served alongside rich gravy, mint sauce, and roast vegetables.
  • Generous Family Feeds: Family packs and large roast boxes provide abundant portions that easily satisfy multiple appetites without a high bill.
