About Yummy Roast

Containers packed to the brim with roast pork, crunchy potatoes, and traditional trimmings anchor the counter at this Glen Innes roast shop, where classic Kiwi comfort food meets Chinese home-style touches. Alongside roast lamb, beef, and vegetarian options, the kitchen turns out savoury soy chicken thighs, fried chicken, lamb flap, taro, and rice. Set options range from small pork meals with chips or roast kumara ($17.50 as at 2026) to meal boxes and large lamb dinners piled high with fixings ($28 as at 2026). The blend of slow-roasted meats and marinade-rich poultry gives the cabinet an unexpected depth that sets it apart from standard carveries.

Regulars come for the generous portions and the friendly, attentive front-of-house service, often singling out the crisp roast potatoes, flavourful soy chicken, and hearty pork meals. While diners appreciate the warm family atmosphere, some mention the shop can struggle to keep dining areas spotless when peak rushes hit. Tucked into Line Road, it is one of three restaurants listed within a kilometre, trading alongside community dining room Everybody Eats and Felton's Kitchen. Our pick in Glen Innes for a generous, no-fuss dinner packed with genuine heart.
