A good roast restaurant does simple things well: meat cooked until tender, crisp crackling or a good crust, vegetables that are not overdone and gravy that ties the plate together. A roast is a proper meal, so portions are usually large, and it is worth coming hungry or sharing a plate if your appetite is small. On a main route, busy evenings and holiday weekends can mean a wait, so arriving a little before the dinner rush helps. If you are travelling, takeaway lets you keep driving, but roast is best eaten hot, so dine in if you have time. Ask which meat is freshest that day.
For Wellsford locals and travellers heading north or south on State Highway 1, it is a hearty, good-value stop for a roast dinner.
