The usual takeaway roast-about-town is normally a bit of a sad affair but Mac Roast is the best I've had by far. Everything is cooked perfectly - crispy potatoes, soft kumara and pumpkin, fresh carrots and peas to top it off. It feels as if the meal has been made with care - tender meat and very tasty gravy. The staff are really lovely and the homemade desserts and custard set this place apart from any other I've experienced. It's strange, I know, to be raving about a takeaway roast place but they deserve it! Wonderful (and nourishing :))

Best roast house I've been too. Everything is delicious. And they put the potatoes seperate if you ask so they stay crispy. Gravy is delicious, which a lot of roast houses can't get right, but Mac Roasts definitely has it right! Staff are friendly and helpful too!
