The Yorkie Rippa

At The Yorkie Rippa, the Yorkshire pudding takes centre stage as the wrap for a reimagined Sunday roast. Owners Dennis and Leigh Duncanson, who moved from London to the Gold Coast, have combined the classic elements of a roast dinner into a kind of burrito/kebab hybrid. With a concise menu featuring lemon, garlic, and thyme rotisserie chicken, slow-cooked beef brisket, and baked cauliflower with vintage cheddar, the focus is on simplicity and quality. The Yorkshire puddings are handmade daily, perfected after a year and a half of testing to create the ideal balance of softness and structure. For larger groups, The Butcher’s Block offers sharing plates, while a rotating special adds extra variety. Sides like cauliflower cheese and crispy spud nuggets complete the meal, all available for dine-in or takeaway. Reservations recommended!
