Rascal is proudly Newcastle born and bred and we’re all about supporting our local suppliers and producers in and around the Hunter. Our burgers are made by passionate burger enthusiasts who will debate the place of a pickle ’til the cows come home. And we make stuff from scratch – right down to the seasoning on our fries- because we are perfectionists that will do anything in pursuit of burger excellence….. and a little bit of burger-related anarchy.

Positioned on the rooftop of one of Newcastle’s most iconic buildings, it’s hard to imagine a better vantage point of Newcastle’s harbour, coastline and beyond to Hunter Valley. Brandishing distinctly modern Australian cuisine, Roundhouse beats the drum for the region’s abundance of world-class produce with a proudly Novocastrian spirit. We believe in local, responsibly grown food with our chefs working in partnership with artisans, farmers and fisherman to present pared back dishes, free of pomp or pretension, that celebrate the beauty of the ingredients, fresh from the earth and sea…always with a little twinkle of surprise. One of life's great pleasures; the wine list showcases the incredible breadth of the region’s distinctive and innovative wines (after all, the region has more cellar doors than any other wine region in Australia) along with a reflection of the best wines of Australia. True to its Novocastrian roots, expect service that is warm, approachable and down-to-earth.
