After more than 20 years at Borough Market, ROAST is opening its second London restaurant this month at Virgin Hotels London-Shoreditch, Luxury Hospitality Magazine reports.

What to expect - Breakfast, brunch, long lunches, afternoon tea and dinner, every day - The ROAST classics, including the full breakfast and the Sunday roast, plus a few dishes made just for Shoreditch - Seasonal British produce from farmers and growers ROAST already works with - Room for 135, across a main restaurant and bar, a bright orangery and a chef's table

The look Think Victorian conservatory: decorative ironwork, plants everywhere, marble, brass and antique mirrors. It's a nod to the area's gardening past and to nearby Columbia Road Flower Market. There's a Harlequin emblem in the branding too, after The Curtain, the Elizabethan playhouse that gave Curtain Road its name.

After dinner, the hotel's hi-fi listening bar, Hidden Grooves, is right there.

Where: Virgin Hotels London-Shoreditch, Curtain Road, EC2. When: opening this October. Bookings are open now.
