1) Rocker Bondi
| Key Service | Sells picnic pack |
| Address | 5/39-53 Campbell Parade North Bondi NSW 2026 |
| Website | https://www.rockerbondi.com.au/ |
| Phone | (+61) 0451845269 |
| Operating Hours | Tuesday & Wednesday 4pm – 10pm Thursday to Sunday 12pm to late |
The North Bondi area, which includes Rocker, may be ideal on a sunny summer’s day, but it’s even more appealing during the colder months (fewer people being the most obvious benefit). So get in your jammies and head to Rocker on a dark winter’s night. Vegetarians will be treated to crackling-heavy rolled porchetta, wagyu beef, or roasted pumpkin in addition to the traditional vegetables like potatoes, peas, and Yorkshire puddings.
Key Differentiators:
- Sells picnic pack
- Offer a twist on your classic Mexican feast
- Two minute walk from North Bondi Beach
Customer’s Review:
Overall had a good night here, the potatoes were lovely and sardines were delicious. Quite pricey for the portion sizes, I was hungry later on in the evening and the cost was $100 a head. Service could have been improved too. The spot is lovely in Bondi as it has ocean views and the decor is nice inside.

It’s only natural that one of the city’s best Brit-style pubs serves an excellent Sunday roast. The cozy pub is packed with people chowing down on gravy-soaked entrees right next to a crackling fire. Two roasts are served every Sunday at the traditional pub: pork loin and lamb rump. Both are garnished with gravy, roasted potatoes, pumpkin, greens, and a Yorkshire pudding, as well as mint or apple sauce to taste.
Key Differentiators:
- Brit-style pubs in Sydney
- Serves gravy-smothered dishes

The Glebe Hotel is a character-filled, dog-friendly pub in the Inner West’s backstreets that provides a lovely place to unwind with a hot cup of soup during the cold winter months. While all of the food at The Glebe Hotel is incredible—we’re talking beef and Guinness pie, house-made gnocchi with wild mushrooms, and bangers and mash, for example—you can’t beat their enormous Sunday roast. On Sundays, just two roast choices are available, which change every week.
Key Differentiators:
- Dog-friendly pub
- Generous serve of roast veg
- Full of quirk, character and charm
Customer’s Review:
I really like sitting in the upstairs section of this venue. It’s quite cozy. They have old school paintings, armchairs and sofas which I quite like. They have standard delicious pub food and a great selection of drinks. It’s a great local spot.

Forrester’s is also providing a delectable roast. Chef Patrick Friesen has made a enormous Yorkshire pudding, which is available every day of the week.

Key Differentiators:

Customer’s Review:
Pretty classy atmosphere for a pub in the heart of Surry Hills. I had the cheeseburger and it was so good – I’d say probably top 3 burgers I’ve ever had. The sauce was so delicious and meat was well seasoned and had a good thickness. The patty was also quite light and fresh.

This family-owned establishment has a beautiful covered courtyard restaurant with a roaring fire in the winter. This pub takes the sauce to an entirely new level. There’s plenty of gravy as there should be with any roast, but what takes it to another level is that you get to spoon your own right on top. There are no stingy servings here!
Key Differentiators:

Customer’s Review:
Great pub with a large selection of beers and spirits. Awesome bar staff service and friendly atmosphere. Food is pretty good with a good range of proteins and vegetarian options.

Sundays are not the best day for a counter meal when the kitchen down below prepares a roast lunch that deserves to be on stage among Sydney’s greatest. Creamed leeks, mashed swede and broccoli, and fried brussel sprouts accompany the medium-rare beef slices. A dish of delectable beef-fat roasted potatoes and a tiny individual boat of dark, rich gravy is provided on the side, along with the same schnitzel sauce that comes with their meat.
Key Differentiators:
- All week long Sunday roast
- Serves vegan gravy
- Generous serve
Customer’s Review:
One of the best. Whether it’s with a bunch of friends, our kids, or both, the staff are always above and beyond friendly and accommodating. Great beers, even better wine list, and the Schnity lives up to the hype.

The Duck Inn Pub and Kitchen is a gastropub that will more than make up for your food trip. Along with a substantial amount of meat to soak in that luscious sauce, their rotating roast menu includes trimmings produced from local seasonal fruits, as well as a large proportion of the overall meal.
Key Differentiators:

Woolloomooloo watering hole The Tilbury Hotel has undergone an interior renovation by Luchetti Krelle, resulting in a more refined scene, and a new menu created by head chef Jimmy Richardson. While it is certainly more luxurious than your typical pub, the restaurant still offers guests a roast each week during the winter months of June and July.
Key Differentiators:

- Seasonal veggies and gravy
- Luxurious vibe
Customer’s Review:
Hidden Gem. Always visit when in Sydney and never disappoints. Extra special shout out to Tatum who attended to us today. Good food, good wine, good atmosphere. Highly recommend.

The Duke of Clarence, a British gastropub in London, takes roast seriously. The Victorian-era establishment is modeled on a typical English tavern and (as such) features a unique Sunday supper based on roast. There are four distinct choices, including two meat dishes, a fish dish, and a vegetarian option.
Key Differentiators:
- Serves British-bred roast beef sirloin
- All come with plenty of sides
- Option of additions cauliflower and cheese, and cabbage and bacon
Customer’s Review:
Always enjoying visiting The Duke of Clarence. Love the Georgian Style English pub theme. Loads of attention to detail, down to the oak panelling and Burlington bathroomware. There’s a great selection of drinks, especially gins. The Sunday roasts are really tasty and desserts are also great. Try the apple crumble. The staff are very good too.

| Operating Hours | Mon – Thurs: 12pm – 12am Fri: 11am – 12am Sat: 12pm – 12am Sun: 12pm – 10pm |
The Courthouse, a popular Newtown dining spot, is obviously inhabited, yet it has a certain appeal. The eclectic restaurant has become a community refuge for inner-west dwellers and serves roast beef every Friday; a hearty winter meal that is frequently prepared by slow roasting beef and vegetables together with roast vegetables and gravy.
Key Differentiators:
- Eclectic establishment
- Newtown’s most-loved beer garden
- Dog-friendly
Customer’s Review:
Great place for a cold drink and love their beer garden. Very chill and relaxing.

The roasters at this South Bondi cafe have earned a small reputation on the outside of Sydney. The meal is presented as a mountain of sides piled on top of meat of your selection (there are frequently more than one protein choices). It’s enough for two people. It’s nothing fancy, but it is a tried-and-true version of a regular weekly dinner.
Key Differentiators:
- Mountain of sides piled atop of meat
- More than one meat to choose from
- Tried-and-true weekly dinner
Customer’s Review:
The food is very good, the service was attentive and the wine list was fantastic. We will definitely be back!

| hello@drakeeatery.com.au | |
| Operating Hours | Monday to Sunday 8 AM to 10 PM Closed on Tuesdays |
The traditions of this Bondi institution are front and center. Only recently, the nook at the corner was introduced, and it will continue to vary its selections every week to capitalize on the season’s offerings. You may anticipate its ingredients to include a slice (or slab if that’s your thing) of Coorong Angus scotch fillet, Greenslade chicken, and Mirrool Creek lamb leg, all from South Australia.
Key Differentiators:
- Includes a slice of Coorong Angus scotch fillet
- Served with a selection of Ian’s famous crispy potatoes, seasonal vegetable and Yorkshire puddings
- Seasonal vegetables
Customer’s Review:
10/10 for our Valentines Day dinner with my wife last night. With the current menu, trust me, go the gnocchi starter, the flank (med rare) and the pork belly and share it.

| Operating Hours | Monday to Friday 6pm till late Saturday to Sunday All Day Dining |
If you’re searching for a restaurant with a magnificent ambience, a lively atmosphere, exceptional service, and an exquisite Sunday roast, the Riverview Hotel has it all. The roast beef with Yorkshire pudding and accompaniments is best shared with a glass of red wine to round out the meal. The dishes are enormous, so order sparingly. An order of the sticky date pudding with mascarpone ice cream is a fantastic way to end their wonderful roast lunch.
Key Differentiators:
- Sumptuous Sunday roast
- Serves roast lunch with an order of the sticky date pudding with mascarpone ice cream
- Lively atmosphere
Customer’s Review:
Good Yorkshire pudding, melt in the mouth meat and lovely veggies but the roast potatoes and gravy were over salted other than that pretty good.

Dove and Olive has been recognized by Time Out and the Telegraph as one of the top 10 Sunday Pub Roasts, so be ready for your taste buds to be amazed. They serve huge servings of roast lambs, chicken, pork, and beef. The meat is slow-cooked for 12 hours before being served to consumers, assuring that every bite.
Key Differentiators:
- Offer generous portions of roast lambs, chicken, pork, and beef

- Guaranteeing that extra bit of amazing chariness

Sit at The Oxford Tavern’s sunny patio and tuck into some of the city’s best Sunday roasts, where 200 kg (440 lbs) of meat is smoked in their Black Betty smoker. There is a lot of gravy, roast potatoes, carrots, broccoli, and house-made Yorkshire pudding served with it. Instead of their beef brisket or pork belly, why not try a vegan-pulled jackfruit sandwich? To complement the feast, select one of the excellent craft beers on offer at the restaurant.
Key Differentiators:
- Serves vegan-pulled jackfruit
- Meat is smoked in their Black Betty smoker
- House-made Yorkshire pudding
Customer’s Review:
Great place for Sunday drinks with incredibly friendly service. Tad bit loud but the booth seats are actually cosy and quiet. Highly recommended if you are just looking to lounge with some company, drink cocktails and maybe get a bite to eat.

The Sunday roast at the Woolwich Pier Hotel is regarded as one of the best in London, and you want to know why. It’s all about their delicious pork belly, which is served with plenty of crackling trimmings. You may substitute the pork belly for lamb with mint jelly and trimmings if desired. You can make a hit of this cocktail on your own, but it’s best when you order it as part of an unforgettable dining experience at the Woolwich Pier Hotel. With stunning harbor-front vistas, locals adore the Woolwich Pier Hotel.
Key Differentiators:
- Gorgeous harbour-front views
- Well-cooked pork belly served with a generous portion of crackling trimmings
- Serves mint jelly and trimmings
Customer’s Review:
Great pub restaurant with views from the balcony. Food was very good with my group of 6 pleased with their meals. All meals were well presented and served in good time. It was a Sunday night so not many people there. Would definitely go again. Very nice location.

| Operating Hours | Monday to Thursday: 12pm – 12am Friday & Saturday: 12pm – 1am Sunday: 12pm – 10pm |
When your roast arrives in time for a Sydney Swans home game, you can rest assured that the pub has everything in motion. If you adore sauce, this is the place to be when you’re wanting a sea of gravy to go with your meal. Yorkshire puddings, parsnips baked down to a squishy paste, carrots, potatoes, and wilted kale make for some fresh peace from the starchy carbohydrates and medium-rare beef slices.
Key Differentiators:
- Solid condiment collection
- Serves puffy Yorkshire pud
- Juicy medium-rare beef slices
Customer’s Review:
Delicious food, but what was even better was the service. Staff in the front bar were welcoming, friendly and attentive. Will be back for sure.
