Feeding yourself on a weekend can be a struggle. Here at Urban List, we find it hard to make anything more strenuous than peanut butter toast. With the mercury dropping in Brisbane/Meanjin, we say ditch the dishes this weekend and pull up stumps at your favourite dining establishment for a proper feed, zero effort required. We’re talking a traditional roast with all the trimmings.
There are a few ways to tackle Brisbane’s best roast. There’s fancy new gastro-pubs, classic old-school affairs, and slow-cooked lamb shoulders at hipster-ish cafes. It’s all down to preference (and stomach space). Here’s our round-up of Brisbane’s best Sunday roasts. Yorkshire puds come at us.
Port Office Hotel
40 Edward Street, Brisbane CBD
A traditional all day roast, every Sunday for just $29, say less. Port Office Hotel is serving up its finest roast meat of the week, whether it be lamb, pork, beef, chicken or turkey topped with all the trimmings and smothered in gravy, to warm up your Sundays over the coming colder months (or anytime of year, really).
Brisbane Brewing Co.

Why wait until Sunday to enjoy a succulent roast meal? At Brisbane Brewing Company, you don’t have to, with a roast of the day featured on their menu. You will of course have to ask for the daily meat selection but rest assured it will be accompanied by a generous amount of roast potatoes, veggies, buttered greens, yorkshire puddings and gravy.
Hop & Pickle
6e Little Stanley Street, South Bank
For craft beer, bar snacks and pub grub with a twist, Hop & Pickle is your classic gastropub nestled in the heart of South Bank. Long serving up one of Brisbane’s best roast dinners every day Sunday, you can choose between pork, beef or any other meat being served up on the day. Better yet, why not enjoy some free trivia between 6pm-8pm while munching down those last few bites.
Finn McCool’s
295 Brunswick Street Mall, Fortitude Valley
If there’s one thing Finn McCool’s knows, it’s Irish hospitality, which means a full pint of Guinness, good craic and a hearty roast. From 11am onwards every Sunday of the year, the pub serves up its finest Irish roast with all the trimmings, yorkshire pudding, veggies and proper gravy—your bellies will be full for the rest of the week.
The Rose & Crown
275 Grey Street, South Brisbane

The new ‘it’ spot in town, The Rose & Crown has made a name for itself by serving up a traditional Sunday roast feast, complete with yorkshire puddings, veggies and a plentiful amount of gravy. Roast connoisseurs are also encouraged to stay a while to enjoy the live music in the beer garden and sample the traditional cask beer available on tap.
Electric Avenue
23 Logan Road, Woolloongabba
Electric Avenue in Woolloongabba has electrified the roast game, offering a $25 family roast with all the trimmings every Sunday as part of their weekly dinner specials.
