Would you leave the dinner on the side for this long?

I have cooked a roast plated up at 5pm. I’ve got to go out so we won’t actually eat it until around 8.

I’ve covered the plates with foil.

Would you refrigerate or leave on the side for a few hours? I don’t really want to reheat the dinner once it’s been refrigerated.

Yabu - put it in the fridge
Yanbu - it will be fine on the side

I’d leave on the side if covered with foil.

Although saying that, the amount of fucking fruit flies I am getting at the moment I probably would fridge it!

Apologies op, I’ve been zero help 😂

On the side for sure.

I'd put it in the fridge. It will have to be re heated either way.

On the side is fine
