It depends on the temperature of the room and the type and size of the piece of meat, but spoilage starts usually in only a few hours. If the meat has been cooked, smoked, marinated or pickled, spoilage will be slowed. Spoilage is a process, and the food remains edible even after spoilage has started, but becomes increasingly inedible as time passes.

As long as it takes to achieve room temperature. Un-eaten roast (or any cooked food for that matter) needs to be refrigerated as soon as possible to prevent any bacteria from growing.
