Hot roast chicken, beef or pork cooked to perfection, with gravy or some sorta other magical sauce to soak into the fluffy bread boat of goodness. You've gotta love a good roast meat roll.
Come wintertime, the bready delight climbs to the top of our wish list. So to make life easier, we've done the leg work and lined up some of our faves around Perth.
Go on, get stuck into Perth's best roast meat rolls.
Mondo Butchers
Inglewood
Coming in at the top of our roast meat roll round up has to be Mondo Butchers. People are often lined up around the block every damn Saturday just to wrap their mitts around this $10 Roast Meat Sandwich complete with a good whack of crispy crackling. It's available for lunch Tuesday to Friday, then from 8am to 2pm every Saturday.
Barboro Bros Butchers
Greenwood
Barboro Butchers keeps the Greenwood neighbourhood very well-fed with its award-winning sausages and quality meats. And if you drive past between 7am and 1pm on Saturday, you'll get a sense of how good the roast meat rolls are here. The car park is usually filled with hungry folks hankering for one of their iconic pulled roast beef, lamb or beef rolls topped with creamy slaw and gravy. It's an absolute must-try.
Meat & Mains
Mount Hawthorn
Gourmet butcher, Meat & Mains, is absolute heaven for any meat fiend, with quality meats and excellent bundles for family BBQs, date nights and more. So of course these legends have taken care of lunch too, with banging roast pork rolls on every Saturday. Don't be afraid to hit the roast beef sandwich if you see this on the menu too.
The Claremont Hotel
Claremont
The Claremont Hotel's Bush Chook Roll has carved a special place in my heart. It's not trying to be anything fancy, it's just damn good. Just picture a fluffy white bread roll filled with roast chicken, stuffing and lashings of gravy, with salty hot chips on the side.
Little Loaf Lunch Bar
South Fremantle
When Little Loaf expanded into the big space next door, it brought with it an expanded menu of tasty baked treats and cafe serves. Amongst the solid lineup, you'll find both a roast chicken and roast beef roll to tuck into each and every day, all made to fresh to order (see: no soggy bread). The secret to both might just be the banging country-style gravy made with free-range chicken stock.
Satchmo
North Perth
Satchmo has a smashable rooster roll that'll hit your roast meat roll craving on its head. Their huge crusty white rolls are piled high with southern spiced pulled chicken (so yes, it's not strictly roast meat) and some sorta magical stuffing sauce.
Churras
Northbridge
We considered leaving Churras out because it's technically not a roast meat roll, it's a South American style steak sanga. But, if it's a glorious meaty sandwich you're after, trust us, these babies will more than fit the bill. Every Saturday between 10am and 3pm they fire up the BBQ and serve mouth watering steak and sausage rolls, filled with diced meat straight from the grill, fresh salsa and a life-changing creamy horseradish dressing that cuts through the richness of the meat perfectly. Everyone needs to try this.
