Sunday Roast at the Red Lion Hotel

Overview

In Sydney, you can roast any way you like — be it a massive Yorkshire pudding packed with meat, potatoes, stacks of veggies and buckets of gravy, or Dewsbury pork belly with sides of leek fondue, apple purée and mustard jus. But sometimes, there's nothing better on a Sunday afternoon than keeping it simple at a neighbourhood pub.

If that sounds like you, factor the Red Lion Hotel in Rozelle into your weekend plans. Every Sunday, you can kick back with a traditional roast for just $27.

Chilly day? Grab a seat by the fire, where you'll warm up in no time. After all, there's nothing quite like feasting in front of roaring flames when the wind's howling outside.

Alternatively, rug up and head out to the balcony, where you'll catch lovely sunset views. People have been doing it since 1828, when the Red Lion opened. It's since had a $1.5-million reno, which has given the pub a good tidy-up — while still keeping its charming feel.
