An email from Roots just dropped into my inbox, not something I was expecting, and now I’m hungry, so thanks for that.
Roots is situated roughly to the South West of Ramsbottom on Bolton Road West. It’s not like a normal restaurant (which sounds bad, but hear me out), it’s based on a set menu and paired with wines should you wish to upgrade your offer. It’s laid back, and only open once a week (unless that’s changed).
If there’s anything you don’t like, be sure to mention it too as they’re accommodating even though it’s a set menu.
It’s probably my favourite place to eat in Ramsbottom, which given all the options we have is quite a tough to pick.
Due to the popularity of Roots, you do need to book early, like a month in advance. Also, make sure you’re on their mailing list, as this will give you a heads up if a cancellation happens, which does from time to time.
It’s being on this mailing list which is why I became aware of their just launched ready meals. Lovely stuff, I love it when a Ramsbottom business branches out.
It looks like there’s an introductory offer on at the moment, here’s a menu/list from the site:
Thanks to audience member John for these additional details:
The meals are delivered Wednesday and Sunday between 6 and 7. Orders by email only week before. Payment by cash or bank transfer only. There is a £10 refundable deposit for the glass trays.
