Best place for Sunday night roast?

I’m hankering for a roast dinner, just like mum used to make. Sure I can cook my own, but that’s not as much fun for just two people, and I was thinking of asking members of one of the meetup groups to join us.

Does anyone have recommendations for a great place, such as a club or pub, to have a roast on a Sunday evening?

Cook it yourself, far better than anything I have ever had in a restaurant. Its pretty hard to fark up a roast but club cooks seem to be able to do it on a regular basis.

Totally agree. I’ve never had a good roast from a club or pub. Not sure why they can’t do it well, maybe it’s the sitting under lights in the bain marie, or the gravox gravy, but roasts at these places are bloody awful.

Roasts are definitely home-only food.

Yep yep yep

Eff club roasts. ( I know it does not help on a weekend, but got ham, yum yum tree does the best bought roast in town).

Serious, do your own. If its only for two, then get a smaller cut. Or do as I do and cook a huge one and have sandwich all week.

Seriously, you cannot mess it up in the oven. Practice and move up to slow cooked meats on a weber type bbq. This, is called winning

If you can bare the pokies, old people blocking you at every turn and constant reminders of the raffle, the footy clubs are a pretty good, cheap place to get a decent roast. I like the golf club at Gungahlin, but Ainslie is ok as well.

Hellenic club at Woden is pretty good too.

Although if you’re looking at footy clubs, you’ve picked a bad night with the Raiders on tonight.

Don’t you mean meatup groups?
