About Hey Rosey

Barely three meters wide, this twenty-seat wine bar spins vinyl while serving some of the Central West's sharpest cooking. Chef Hugh Piper runs the compact kitchen with serious intent. Locals head straight for the conservas—Spanish anchovies over Sugar Mill sourdough with café de Rosey butter—or the Comté tart balancing rich custard inside delicate pastry. The counter pours local Canobolas Chardonnay alongside an anchovy-garnished martini. Regulars watch for the Monday roast, stacking rare beef and cavolo nero beside a crisp Yorkshire pudding.

  • Compact 20-Seat Room: A cozy, three-meter-wide room pairing counter stools with spinning vinyl records.
  • Conservas and Small Plates: Features Cantabrian anchovies on local sourdough and a Comté truffle tart.
  • Local Pours and Cocktails: Pours regional Canobolas Chardonnay alongside a house martini garnished with anchovy.
  • The Monday Roast: A weekly dinner plate with rare roast beef, cauliflower purée, cavolo nero, and Yorkshire pudding.

  • Monday Roast

    With slices of rare roast beef gently laid over velvety cauliflower purée with cavolo nero, horseradish and a golden Yorkie, the Monday roast ($25) is reason enough never to cook at home on a Monday night again.

  • Comté Truffle Tart

    Chef Hugh Piper’s Comté truffle tart ($18) at Hey Rosey in Orange is perfection. Balanced by a single pickled and grilled shallot, the fluffy cloud of cheese gives way to silken custard barely constrained in crisp shortcrust pastry.

    The pavlova dessert was splendid.
