Where to Find the Best Sunday Roasts in Canberra

On a cold Canberra Sunday, nothing beats a warming roast – complete with succulent meat, potato cooked in myriad ways, oozy gravy and a few bits of veg for good measure (as well as a Yorkshire pud if you really want to go all out).

If you’re not quite up to putting one together yourself, you’ll be glad to know the national capital is home to several spots that do truly excellent Sunday roast specials. From fireside spots to cosy pubs, these are the places where you’ll find the best Sunday roast in Canberra.

Edgar’s Inn

Edgar’s is one of Canberra’s favourite spots, not least for its buzzy atmosphere and stellar food. The venue contains multiple spaces depending on what you’re after: an al fresco dining area, a cosy upstairs pub, a pizzeria and a wine bar.

Edgar’s roast offering is also great, particularly if you like variety. The menu changes every week, so you can return each Sunday for something entirely different. You also get sides and either a Furphy, house wine or soft drink included in the price. Bargain! 

$25 per person

 From 12pm every Sunday

 1 Edgar Street, Ainslie

Campbell & George

Just over the NSW border in Canberra’s twin city Queanbeyan is where you’ll find another notable Sunday roast special.

Campbell & George also has a rotating roast roster (try saying that after a few Sunday beers) which changes each week. What does remain constant is the inclusion of sides and gravy, all for an excellent price of $17.50 for members or $20 for non-members. Plus, you can order the roast at either lunch or dinner, giving you more options to chow down.

From $17.50 per person

 12pm-2pm and 6pm-9pm every Sunday

 Corner of Campbell and George Streets, Queanbeyan

The Duxton

Absolutely everything on The Duxton’s menu is top-notch, so it’s little surprise the eatery’s Sunday roast is utterly delicious. Every Sunday, you can grab a very traditional roast consisting of lamb, potatoes, peas, carrots and a Yorkshire pudding, topped with mint sauce and gravy.

$29 per person

 From 12pm every Sunday

 8 Macpherson Street, O’Connor
