Whether you're kicking off your evening with a barrel-aged Negroni or ending it on a nutty sherry, there's never a bad time to be kicking back in Wilhelmina's, the neighbourhood bar and restaurant split over two sides of the old Working Men's Institute on Darling Street.
But come Sunday it's worth rugging up and hitting this boss Balmain bar a little earlier to get your hands on their weekly roast. There's no day of rest for the team here who portion up a whole beast each week. Sometimes it's pork, lamb, duck or chicken – they'll give you a heads-up on what to expect on their Facebook page.
The top-to-tail roast features a cut of beautiful, golden brown meat and comes with all the trimmings, including Yorkshire puddings. It requires none of the effort of slow-cooking your own lunch. You just have to show up with your group (most cuts are suited to three to four people), sit down and tuck in to a Sunday session that won't leave you with a sore head on Monday morning.
