Christmas in July 2025
11 Jul 2025 - 27 Jul 2025
Who says you’ve got to wait till December for a Chrissy roast with all the trimmings, and dodgy cracker jokes? At The Lion and Wombat, we’re doing Christmas in July — British style with a two-course $64 set menu. So pull out the Chrissy jumper, bring your mates, and tuck into a roast that’ll make you feel right at home. Good food, good laughs, and a bit of festive fun to break up winter. Entrée: Confit Trout w dill and cucumber OR Golden beetroot, elderflower & goats cheese salad. Main: Roast chicken AND roast pork, roast potatoes, yorkie, sage and onion stuffing, pigs in blankets, honey roasted carrot and parsnips, bread sauce, brussel sprouts and smoked bacon, gravy. *We require a $30 per head credit card pre-authorisation for cancellations and no-shows. For further dietary information please visit our website.

A delicious Sunday Roast was enjoyed today at this charming venue. An enormous Yorkshire Pudding, many slices of rare roast beef, a nice tasting gravy served separately in a little jug, peas, carrots and yummy roast potatoes. Also I had the extra side of cheesy cauliflower which was definitely worth ordering. Arrived at venue at 12noon and was completed by meal by 12.55pm. Lots of seating for groups, couples etc - I was a solo diner at the bar. Definitely recommend - will return to try the roast chicken served with stuffing next time!

Food and service were great! We had the roast, which was yum. Could maybe do with a larger serve of gravy but that’s about it - yum!

A British friend recommended the Lion & Wombat for a Sunday Roast and said they had one of the best in the city and I have to agree. The entire experience was great from the service, to the food, to the ambiance. Make sure to book and definitely add the cheesy cauliflower to your roast! Will be back again soon for sure!

Love this place! New find for us. Been back every week for awhile! The staff are unreal! Very helpful and accommodating, up for a laugh but leave you be when you need to get down to business (drinking, eating and gossiping). The food is yum. Great value, the English offerings are outstanding and everything we have had to date is tasty, well seasoned and decent in size! Loving the English style barrel program and of course, Guinness. No pretension with the staff and service. Dark, warm, inviting, great for date night and for fam and mates catch-ups. Can’t wait to try the Sunday Roast!!! Keep it up fam! Don’t change a thing! Ps the chippies are hands down the most delicious, how is every chip in the bowl so crispy! Fennel salt is a nice touch and goes down well with a beer! Can’t wait to try the fish finger buttie and scotch egg!

Scotch Eggs are a rare find here, and they were so good. The Beef roast was delicious and perfectly cooked. For once I didn't have to ask for more gravy!
