Winter is on its way out, and The Roadhouse is throwing open the precinct to celebrate.
On Sunday, 30 August, Perk Up Byron returns for a free, all-ages morning bringing the community together over coffee, movement, markets, food and music.
From 8am, thrift and local market stalls will spill through the precinct outside Peaches Pilates and Sol Method, with free community yoga and Pilates classes, free Allpress foam drinks, food from the Roadhouse kitchen and Piccante on the decks.
It’s the kind of Sunday morning that feels particularly Byron: come for a class, stay for breakfast, hunt through the racks, catch up with friends, bring the kids – or simply find a spot in the sun.
And with spring around the corner, there’ll be plenty more reasons to linger at the Roadhouse.
The kitchen continues to revolve around the ‘smoke + fire’ cooking the venue has become known for: wood-fired pizzas, hibachi-cooked meat, seafood and vegetables, seasonal produce and share plates made for the middle of the table.
Midweek has its own rhythm. Wood-Fired Wednesdays pairs two pizzas and a side for $59, with local musicians returning to Wednesday nights as the warmer months roll in. Thursday’s now well-established Steak Night keeps things equally simple: steak, fries and a glass of wine for $35.
There are more one-off dinners, collaborations, DJs and events to come, too.
And as Byron moves into celebration season, the Roadhouse itself has plenty of room to gather. The palm-filled terrace opens up beautifully in the warmer weather, while the separate dining room and cafe bar offer more intimate spaces for birthdays, long lunches, private dinners and end-of-year parties.
It’s a venue that has always suited people settling in and staying awhile – from morning coffee through to dinner under the palms.
Perk Up Byron is Sunday, 30 August, from 8am to 1pm. Free entry and all ages.
