Roasties’ recent opening on Macintosh Place has been keenly anticipated. Chinese roast meat plates aren’t new to the area but they are clearly the headliners here. The original plan, I’m told, was to have them displayed in the window. But space is limited, so you’ll have to make do for them standing to attention on Read More
‘Wednesday to Saturday: Brisket Pulled Pork St Louis Ribs’ reads the sign in the lounge. Well, it’s to the point. Hand-painted by Smokey Dave himself, it is a no-fuss, just-the-good-stuff hint that things have changed at The Robin Hood.
