The Commoner

A Sunday staple for seven years, the roast at The Commoner is more like a banquet with a different cut of meat every two weeks. From roast pork to beef and leg of lamb, all are cooked in the wood oven to retain a smoky flavour, and each come with added accompaniments to compliment the meat at $32 a head. You can even request your own kind of roast in advance. The roast is also available on the ‘Feed Me’ menu, a substantial dinner including entrée, main and dessert for $65pp on Sundays. While The Commoner boasts an extensive wine list, the beer menu is small but high in quality, with Australia’s very own Mountain Goat Steam Ale, Cavalier Pale Ale and Bridge Road Robust Porter to choose from.
