What’s coming up at Roots? 👀
We thought it was about time we gave you a little sneak peek into what we’ve been working on behind the scenes...
🚿 The bathroom renovation is FINALLY almost done (yes, it’s taken longer than some of our full extensions, but it’s going to be worth the wait!)
🪧 New signage is being manufactured as we speak - we found something really special and can’t wait to show you
🍂 A brand new autumn/winter menu is dropping in November - think cosy, seasonal, and made from scratch (obviously!)
🌙 Roots by Night menu is officially live - launch coming soon!
🤫 And then there’s the BIG secret project we can’t talk about yet... let’s just say it’s going into production and it’s something really special for wholesale (you’ll love it!)
We’re so grateful for this community who’s been with us through every renovation, every menu change, and every crazy (but amazing) idea we’ve had. You make all of this possible.
Come and see us soon - and watch this space for all the exciting updates! ✨

Honestly? This is what summer should taste like ☀️
We’ve been quietly cooking up something special, and the new summer menu is finally here. It’s giving everything and it’s already been a HUGE hit 🌿✨
Our green matcha pancakes have already stopped the show, topped with fresh strawberries, blueberries, pistachio nuts + drizzled with white chocolate 🥞
Followed by our vibrant tacos loaded with red cabbage, spiced mixed mushrooms, smashed avo, pickled cabbage, feta, chopped salad, house made hot sauce and our jalapeno chutney 🌮
And let’s not forget about our açaí bowl that’s almost too pretty to eat 🫐 and our new Mediterranean bowl, with added herb yogurt chicken (option to swap your protein) + smooth hummus, crispy chickpeas, olives, feta, smashed pickled cucumbers and sweet potato wedges for when you want something a little more 🥗
Finally let’s not forget about our brand NEW iced matcha’s in either mango or passionfruit - these just scream summer 💚🩷
All made from scratch. All waiting for you in Roots, Upminster.
