The Big Yorkie at Forrester's

This is exactly what the name suggests: a giant Yorkshire pudding filled with roasted delights.

Overview

Every year since 2021, The Big Yorkie at Forrester's in Surry Hills has been one of Sydney's most popular winter dishes. The key to its success is simple yet ingenious: everyone knows that Yorkshire pudding is everyone's favourite part of the roast, so Head Chef Patrick Friesen made it the main event.

That's right, The Big Yorkie — as the name suggests — is a massive Yorkshire pudding. And it's filled to the brim with roasted meat, crispy spuds, seasonal veggies and loads of gravy.

"I've always loved Yorkshire pudding, but it always feels like there's never enough pudding to soak up the gravy," said Friesen. "This was kind of the perfect solution to that."

In even better news, you don't have to wait until Sunday to try it. The Big Yorkie is on the menu every single day from midday until it sells out. And sell out it does, so you'd be smart to lunch early. Bookings are available online.
