Jervois Steak House’s famous wagyu Sunday roast is back — and we have all of the details

There’s something undeniably satisfying about a hearty roast, and this winter, Jervois Steak House revives its beloved tradition with the return of the wagyu Sunday roast — a soul-warming celebration of indulgence served fireside every Sunday through June, July, and August.

The experience begins with a delicate amuse bouche, a quiet nod to what’s to come. Then the main affair: premium Southern Stations wagyu rump, slow-cooked for 12 hours until melt-in-your-mouth tender. It arrives accompanied by all the hallmarks of a classic done right — crisp wagyu fat roasted potatoes, pillowy Yorkshire puddings, silky potato gratin, seasonal vegetables, and a glossy, rich house-made jus. It’s generous, nostalgic, and utterly unmissable.

At $79 per person (minimum two), this is winter dining as it should be — honest, hearty and enjoyed in good company. Add a $15 glass of house wine, and linger a little longer.

This year, there’s no need to pre-order your roast. Portions are limited and served on a first-come, first-served basis from 5pm every Sunday, so we recommend booking early in the day to avoid disappointment.
