Even with the Aussie sun blazing at 40°C, some traditions are hard to shake! Like many of my generation, I grew up with a classic Sunday roast lunch, followed by a comforting plate of bubble and squeak on Sunday evening. These days, life’s a bit too hectic to prepare a whole roast, so a group of friends and I have started the “First Sunday Roast Club.”
This adventure began a few months ago, around the first anniversary of a life-changing event for me – a lower leg amputation. To celebrate life and friendship, we decided to indulge in a monthly tradition. Each month, one of us takes charge, finding a Sydney restaurant that serves up a delicious Sunday roast. We make a reservation, and whoever’s free joins in. There’s always the option to bring a guest, though we haven’t explored that much yet.
I’m in charge of finding our next venue, and have a few ideas swiling around my head. So far, there’s only one I’ve ruled out. I tried a nearby RSL, and while their roast was plentiful, I thought there was a little too much “Gravox” involved. If you have a Sunday Roast suggestion for Sydney, please comment below.
Here are some photos of our culinary adventures so far! The photos pretty much speak for themselves – the food has been fantastic. Of course, the lively conversation and good wine only add to the experience.
POST SCRIPT – New photographs taken after the original post.
The Forrester’s looks the most appealing to me, but none look conventional.
They have all been pretty good so far. Forrester’s was yesterday, and the pudding was by far the largest. It’s so amazing to try out the different variations.
May I recommend the Terminus Hotel at Pyrmont (https://www.terminuspyrmont.com/), had a really good roast pork belly.
Also, the renovation of the hotel is very good and it has a lovely courtyard to eat in.
Thankyou. Will definitely check it out.
