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.
  • Comfort Food Trimmings: Crispy beef croquettes, creamy cauliflower cheese, and chocolate mousse tubs remain beloved fixtures on the counter menu.

    Loved my large Beef Pack, good value considering to fed 2 hungry adults with this. And there was still some left.

Before you head over

Practical ordering and timing tips for getting the best homestyle roast feed

  • Plan on Sharing Large Packs

    Portion sizes are notably generous; a single large pack easily feeds multiple adults with leftovers, making it easy to split dishes or feed groups economically.

  • Explore the Sides and Trimmings

    The carvery offers full homestyle dinners with beef, lamb, pork, or chicken, paired with popular sides like cauliflower cheese and beef croquettes alongside classic gravy.

  • Arrive Ahead of Closing Time

    Doors and service may conclude early once daily meats and trays are packed up, so arrive well before stated closing time to ensure carvery availability.
