20 Australian classic pub meals

Minute-steak sandwiches

Ready in a flash.

Golden, crispy squid pieces are beautiful tossed with salt, pepper and flour and lightly fried. Served with fresh lime, coriander and chilli, this makes a delicious starter or light meal.

Chicken caesar salad

Fit to enjoy anytime as an accompaniment or stand-alone dish, this fresh and crunchy classic salad oozes flavour and can hit your table in no time.

Everyone has their own version of a homemade beef burger, but this one is one of The Australian Women’s Weekly’s favourites. It’s served on a sweet and fluffy brioche bun with pickles and chilli jam.

Change up your next Sunday night roast with this tender tea brined chicken from The Australian Women’s Weekly ‘Made from Scratch’ cookbook. Juicy and succulent meat with a gentle smoky flavour.

Lamb and bean nachos with salsa fresca

Take your taste-buds to Mexico with these cheesy lamb and bean nachos and zesty salsa fresca – easy to make and super delicious!

Crispy potato wedges with two dips

Spicy and redolent with garlic, these chilli prawn pizzas are a crowd-pleaser. You can add some torn buffalo mozzarella if you like, and the finished pizzas are great topped with baby rocket tossed in olive oil and lemon juice.

Garlic prawns and buk choy with herbed rice

Roast pork belly with caramelised apples

The sticky sweetness of these apples is a perfect accompaniment to luscious rich pork belly.

Oven-baked chicken schnitzel with spicy wedges

A healthy take on the popular pub classic that cuts the fat without losing out on the crunch or the flavour.

Loaded sweet potato fries

Sweet potato fries loaded with delicious pulled beef short ribs, candied jalapenos, chimichurri and mozzarella.

Slow-roast lamb with lemon, garlic and rosemary

This family-sized roast lamb needs several hours in the oven to become tender and juicy. But that just means more free time for you to spend outside the kitchen with your loved ones.

The classic chicken parmigiana (or parmy) is standard pub fare. Now you can enjoy them in the comfort of your home.

A great bistro classic, pepper steak is often served with fries. We love it served on a bed of creamy mash, slathered with mushroom sauce and accompanied by crisp sugar snap peas.

Bangers and mash is a classic in the pantheon of great British dishes. Red wine gravy, or straight onion gravy if you prefer, just makes the meal even better. Serve with peas for the full experience.

Chicken burgers come in many forms – but with crunchy, tender buttermilk chicken, and crispy bacon this one is easily our favourite.

Our best steak sandwich recipe

With toffee onions and malted mustard sandwiched between toothy sourdough with cheddar, succulent sirloin and creamy aioli – you’ll fall head over heels for this perfect steak sandwich.

Fish and chips

This recipe calls for twice-cooked chips. The second fry gives them a golden colour and that deliciously crispy crust we all love. Trust us, it’s worth it.

Mini shepherd’s pies with cheesy potato topping

Try these traditional British cottage pies, topped with cheesy, creamy mashed potato and served in four individual ramekins. Great partnered with a rosemary salad.

Rigatoni bolognese

Rich bolognese sauce, replete with sausage, pork and veal, is perfectly paired with al dente rigatoni tubes.
