This interview surprised me in several parts. I had no idea that Matt was in to so many things, he doesn’t just own and run Roots, which you’ll hear in the interview.

Originally starting out from his own home (Matt has a very understanding wife 😄) they then moved to their own premises

I’ve been to Roots a few times now and if you’ve never been I’d argue it’s certainly somewhere to try. It’s a set menu and if you don’t like anything or if you’re allergic to anything you can mention before you go and they’ll accommodate you.

Personally, I eat lots of different things, and what I don’t like I’m always up for trying it done properly, or in a different way.

As Matt says in the episode, lots of people have commented that they’ve been surprised by things they didn’t think they liked.

Matt is also only the second person ever to take on the new section “Quickfire Questions from Kids”.

As well as Roots Food and Drink, there is also the Ready Meal service so you don’t have to miss out if they are fully booked. Not only is it great food (Matt even brought me some to try before the interview) but they are delivered in reusable glass trays which you pay just a £10 deposit for.

The ready meals are cooked Sunday and Wednesday and delivered the evenings of.

Thanks to Matt for coming on the show.
