Carvery (aptly named if you ask us) has taken us right back to the 90s with their supreme offering of roast meats, fresh salads and takeaway rolls.
This elevated offering in Hawksburn Village has heroes the humble roast, transporting us back to those takeaway shops of yester-year and putting the community front of mind.
Expect Victorian roast meats by weight, a daily salad bar, fresh house-made rolls dripping in gravy and a grocery section at this Toorak soon-to-be-staple.
Hawksburn locals Andrew Bayley and Michael Perri (4 Cousins Supermercato and Parkdale) nostalgia is at the core of their offering.
“We were inspired by the carveries we grew up with that were such staples to the community, such as the Toorak Carvery that used to be out the back of the Toorak Village Car Park,” Bayley says.
“Most Australians have memories of those roast chook dinners our mum used to pick up or a take-away roast roll with gravy.
“We wanted to replicate that feeling of nostalgia, but dial up on the fresh, quality produce and deliver it in a beautiful setting.”
Plonk yourself down in the retro diner (complete with that terrazzo flooring and music to match) or grab and go either way you’ll be able to take a good gander at everything that’s on offer through the bain marie.
Pick your quarter, half or whole Bannockburn chook, or choose from Victorian legends like Otway pork, Western District lamb and Goulburn Valley black angus.
The proteins are served alongside hearty roast veg, salad or chips and you can also jag an extra meal like a lasagne, eggplant parmigiani or tiramisu from the fridge too for those extra effort-free evenings.
Carvery is now open at 513 Malvern Road, Toorak. They’re open from 10am-6pm Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm on Saturday and 10am-4pm on Sundays.
