School holidays are just around the corner and things are about to get busy. Book ahead, grab a table and settle in.

Sundays (and Father’s Day) just got a whole lot better!

We’ve been quietly running our new Sunday Roast over the past month, and the response has been pretty incredible — selling out every single week.

Porchetta, seasonal veggies, creamy mash & jus.

So for Father’s Day, we’re doubling down and putting on plenty more serves. Big roast, cold beers, Dad sorted.

We’re already filling up fast, so make sure to book a table and come hungry!

We’re gearing up for the busy season and looking for a new legend to join the Dear Darnell’s crew. 🍸

If you’ve got solid cocktail experience, know your way around a busy bar, and can bring some great banter while you’re at it, we’d love to hear from you.

Full-time hours available with a pretty sweet 4-day roster. Good crew, good food, good drinks — and three days off to enjoy the South West.

Interested? Send us a DM or flick through your resume.
