About Roaring 40’s cafe

Piping-hot pizzas and golden schnitzels come out of the kitchen in 15 minutes flat on Beach Road. Regulars down south head straight here before twilight, packing crisp four-cheese or lamb roast pies down to Christies Beach for sunset on the sand. The kitchen also layers hearty vegetarian pies with roast potatoes and roast pumpkin alongside pub-style wings coated in smoky barbecue sauce. To finish, crisp crusts come smeared with Nutella and fresh banana slices.

  • Hefty Schnitzels & Pub Sides: Crisp-crumbed, tender chicken schnitzels and golden chips arrive in hefty portions that comfortably feed a crowd.
  • Beachside Sunset Takeaway: Pizzas are turned around in roughly 15 minutes, making it simple to grab dinner on the way to the sand.
  • Roast Veg Specialty Pies: House specialties feature hearty roasted pumpkin and roast potato slices over cheese and classic sauces.

  • Pub-Style Schnitzels Alongside Handcrafted Pizzas

    Unlike standard pizza bars, the menu pairs full-sized pizzas alongside giant, crispy crumbed schnitzels for a complete family spread.

    The highlight was the large chicken schnitzel, a generous portion which tasted amazing. The pizza is also delicious.
