Our Menus
From the Kitchen
Taking inspiration from the rolling landscape of Surry Hills that was once occupied by farmland, our Australian food menu is generous, wholesome, and nourishing. There is a healthy mix of shared options and individual plates to cater for every occasion.
Our menu is available throughout all rooms so you can enjoy your feast in front of live sport in the pub, grazing in Phylli’s garden, or immersing yourself in The Art Room as you dine.
An eclectic selection of tap beers are on offer in the Public Bar, featuring iconic Aussie brews alongside a solid independent craft offering. On the wine side, you’ll find an all Australian line up curated by Group Bars Manager Lachy Sturrock and somm Dan Simmons, focusing on growers and producers within our own borders who focus on sustainable, organic farming – wines with place and purpose.
