Located in one of Forest Gate’s railway arches, Roost distinguishes itself by focusing on rotisserie chicken seasoned with Algerian spices. This specific culinary approach sets it apart from standard chicken spots, hinting at North African flavours prepared over a spit for a combination of succulence and aromatic spice.
Since opening in July 2026, Roost has made its mark in the local area, drawing attention for its singular focus on a spice-forward menu. The use of the arch space speaks to the growing trend of transforming industrial infrastructure into destination dining venues in East London.
