Pub grub is the ultimate comfort food, usually consisting of some kind of roast meal, a nice juicy steak, fish and chips or some kind of burger. Whether you’re recovering from a big night out and are craving some carbs, or you just want to end your weekend right with some food that makes you feel at home (without having to do the cooking or dishes) head into the city and check out our favourite pubs for a Sunday lunch.
The Occidental | 6 Vulcan Lane
The Occidental is a cosy Belgian beer café that pours out onto Vulcan Lane. On the menu, they have authentic Belgian dishes like their popular green lipped mussels, along with traditional pub favourites – Angus rump steak, chicken schnitzel and a lamb shoulder pie (to name but a few). And it is hard to go past ordering a cone or two of their Frites with house made mayonnaise. Enjoy inside the heritage building or if it is a nice day, dine outside amongst the happenings of Vulcan Lane
