Join us for Sunday Lunch at These Things Happen! Served from 12pm to 4pm, it’s the perfect excuse to slow down and enjoy a proper meal with family and friends. Our roasts take centre stage, with options like slow-braised brisket, slow-roast pork belly with that all-important crispy crackling, and a flavourful pan-roasted chicken breast. We also offer a hearty veggie option so everyone can settle in to something they love.

Pair your roast with a selection of delicious sides and extras — the kind that make a Sunday plate feel just right. Gather your loved ones and come along for a relaxed, comforting Sunday Lunch that never disappoints.
