I went here for lunch with a colleague, after getting a glowing review of this place from another colleague! The spit shack is located close to the airport, in the middle of a row of nurseries. They claim to spit-roast the meat onsite and use local produce, including bread from a local baker.
The ambience is very relaxing, customer service is good. Now for the food: you can choose between spit-roasted pork or lamb, with fresh bread and an array of extras (coleslaw, pickles, crackling etc.) and sauces (mint, chilli, ajvar etc.)
I found the meat (lamb) to be on the dry side and would have liked a bit more sauce. I will be back to try the pork.
Excellent roast pork roll with garlic and chilli sauce. Massive roll, good value at $13....
Staff were friendly and very fast service......
They don't have a large menu here but what they do, they do well. Go there on an empty stomach as their rolls are huge. Their coffee is very nice too.
This is probably the best roast pork roll I’ve had in Canberra or even ever, it was that good! For one, it was absolutely massive, I can see why this place is such a hit. For a shade under $13 you get a full lunch, not sure if the picture does it justice, but it’s really a huge roll that made dinner an optional meal. Of course, it wasn’t just the size that made it amazing, It tasted amazing too. The meat was super tender and heavily flavoured and moist. A lot of places you get roast roll, you’ll get tough harsh pork with tiny strips of fat along it, all shredded up. Nothing like that here, each chunk of pork had a big piece of fat along with it, that just made each bite wonderful. I should mention, I asked and unfortunately they ran out of pork crackling for the day, so what does this mean? It means they normally give out pork crackling! So next time I’m getting here early!
Delicious rolls and buns with all types of shredded meats. A wonderful place to have some lunch where the staff are lovely.
Tried the snack box today and all i can say is WOW!! So delicious! Ill definitely be back for more!
If you want to grab a quick bite but is real filling. This is the place to go, especially right after wandering thru the nurseries in Pialligo.
The open space, the smell of smoke and country side, the crackle of pork from the spit roast, I love this place! I got the lamb roll with chips and gravy, moist, warm, full of flavour and filling as well! Highly recommend coming here on a Sunday arvo with the family
