About The Pig & Pastry

Perched right beside Petersham Park, this leafy corner spot serves unhurried breakfasts, buttery almond croissants, and proper coffee with an easy Inner West sensibility. Mornings move at a human pace here. Regulars lean into hearty bacon and egg rolls stacked with grilled portobello mushrooms, or baked eggs bubbling in chorizo sauce alongside thick cuts of sourdough. Families take over tables with coloring sheets and toy baskets in tow, leaning into a stress-free brunch without weekend surcharges before drifting across the street to dog-watch on the grass.

  • No Weekend or Card Surcharges: Weekends and card payments carry zero extra charges, a refreshing rarity for Sydney brunch spots.
  • Family-Ready Amenities: Keep little ones occupied at the table with dedicated colouring materials and toys on hand before heading to the park.
  • Park & Function Catering: Platters of mini quiches, sausage rolls, and schnitzel on Turkish bread tailored for park parties and local events.

  • Seamless Group & Event Catering

    Sonam and the kitchen team manage tailored catering orders for workplace conferences and local park parties with dedicated setup assistance.

    My workplace needed a lot of catering last year and when I made some pretty big requests including some weird dietary requirements Sonam went above and beyond for us.
