THE search is on for people willing to do the arduous job of getting paid to eat roast dinners. 

As a ‘Pro-tato tester’ for The Botanist you could earn £500 as a salary.

Perks include a year's worth of free roasts for two and a large group roast to celebrate the start of the role. 

The job is to celebrate The Botanist's new sharing roasts which included a giant bowl of UK's crispiest roast potatoes served to the table.

A spokesman for The Botanist said: “The sharing concept continues with sharing sides board (crispy parmesan cauliflower cheese, pigs in blankets, creamed cabbage and stuffing balls), plus sharing cosy desserts.

“We know the UK has missed out on so many communal experiences during the last 18 months, and we hope our roast signals the start of re-unions and the coming together of loved ones for food worth sharing.”
