Golden Roast on Sunnynook Road is a neighbourhood takeaway on Auckland's North Shore devoted to the old-fashioned roast dinner. Trading under the banner of Chicken & Chips, the shop has built a solid 4.1 rating with locals by serving generous plates of roast meat and seasonal vegetables, boxes of Southern fried chicken, and family-sized packs that make weeknight dinner easy.
The centrepiece of the menu is the roast meal, available with beef, pork, chicken or lamb, plus a vegetarian version. Every meal is served with roast potatoes, pumpkin and kumara, peas, carrots, other seasonal vegetables and a proper gravy sauce. Extras like Yorkshire pudding, mashed potato with gravy and single pieces of roast potato, pumpkin and kumara let regulars build the plate exactly how they like it.
Beyond the roasts there's whole roast chicken, Southern fried chicken by the piece, and hand-held options like sandwiches, rolls and roast pita pockets filled with salad, your choice of meats and sauce. Family Value Packs bundle roast meals, fried chicken and sides for the whole table, while the cabinet rounds things out with apple crumble and custard, cheesecake, ice cream, coffee, milkshakes and a full range of chilled drinks.
Ordering is straightforward: the shop runs online ordering for both pickup and delivery, with secure payment by Visa, Mastercard and PayPal. Delivery fees apply, and the delivery footprint stretches across much of Auckland's North Shore and beyond, from Sunnynook, Glenfield and Milford to Albany, Browns Bay, Takapuna, Devonport and Hobsonville. Doors open midday through 8pm Monday to Saturday, with a later 4pm start on Sundays.
Golden Roast on Sunnynook Road has carved out a loyal following on Auckland's North Shore by doing one thing exceptionally well: the old-fashioned roast dinner, done takeaway-style. Trading as a Chicken & Chips shop, this Sunnynook favourite pairs that roast-heartland menu with crispy fried chicken, generous sides and family-sized packs — a combination that has earned it a solid 4.1 rating from the locals who keep coming back.
The heart of the menu is the roast meal. Choose from beef, pork, chicken or lamb — or opt for the vegetarian version — and every plate arrives loaded with roast potatoes, pumpkin and kumara, peas, carrots and other seasonal vegetables, all pulled together with a proper gravy sauce. These aren't afterthought sides; the golden spuds and sweet kumara are a genuine part of why people order again and again.
Lamb lovers get even more to work with, with a single lamb shank meal or a heartier two-shank version for those with a bigger appetite.
The shop's top sellers tell you everything about its appeal: roast potato by the piece, the pork and lamb roast meals, Yorkshire pudding, Southern fried chicken and the chicken roast meal. Little wonder — they're the building blocks of a proper Sunday-plate dinner, available six days a week from midday.
Extras make it easy to over-cater in the best way: roast pumpkin, roast kumara, mashed potato with gravy and extra gravy, all ready to pile onto the plate.
True to its Chicken & Chips billing, Golden Roast also does whole roast chicken and Southern fried chicken by the piece — crunchy, seasoned and a top seller in its own right. If you'd rather eat on the move, the kitchen builds sandwiches, rolls and roast pita pockets filled with salad, your choice of meats and sauce.
The Family Value Packs are where this kitchen really shines for households. Pack 1 combines a medium pork meal and a medium beef meal with two pieces of fried chicken, two ice creams and a 1.5-litre bottle of soft drink. Pack 2 is a fried-chicken feast: six pieces of fried chicken with six roast potatoes, six kumara, a large coleslaw and a large gravy. Either way, dinner is sorted for the whole crew without anyone turning on the oven.
There's a proper finish to the meal here: apple crumble served warm with custard, cheesecake and ice cream. Drinks run from fresh coffee and milkshakes to a full range of bottled and canned soft drinks, Keri and Just Juice, Mizone, vitamin water, Fuze Tea, Pump water, Oh' Lemonade and V energy drinks — everything you need to round out the order in one stop.
