Weeknight Dinner Specials at the Westernport in San Remo
Weeknights Sorted: Easy Dinners by the Water
Weeknights can get messy fast. Work runs late, kids are hungry, and the thought of chopping, cooking, and cleaning the kitchen is enough to make anyone reach for takeaway menus. That is where our weeknight dinner specials at The Westernport step in, offering a simple, relaxed option that still feels like a proper meal out.
Our pub sits right by the water in San Remo, with views across Westernport Bay towards Phillip Island, so you can swap the stove for a bay breeze and a cold drink. We keep things friendly and casual, with classic Aussie hospitality, quick service and hearty meals that do not empty your wallet. Our weeknight specials are built around three themes, so your midweek dinners are sorted: steak on Tuesday, parmas on Wednesday, Tex Mex on Thursday.
Whether you are a local who is over cooking or a holidaymaker wanting an easy option after a big day exploring, our San Remo pub menu is designed to balance tried-and-true favourites with fun, rotating specials. There is always something familiar if you like to stick to your go-to order, and always something new if you feel like mixing it up.
Tuesday Steak Night: Porterhouse Perfection for $25
Tuesday at The Westernport is all about steak, and it keeps things nice and simple. For $25, you get a porterhouse steak cooked to your liking, with your choice of sauce and sides. It is everything people love about a classic pub steak, without the price tag that usually comes with a decent cut.
You can pick from sauces like gravy, mushroom, pepper, or garlic butter, so whether you like things rich and creamy or peppery with a bit of a kick, there is an option to match. The sides are just as flexible. Go for salad and chips if you want the classic pub plate that feels a bit lighter, or choose veg and mashed potato for something more homestyle and comforting.
Because we keep Tuesday focused on this special, steaks move quickly from grill to table. That makes it ideal for:
After-work feeds when you are too tired to cook
Post-sport dinners when everyone is starving
Simple date nights that still feel like a treat
Family dinners where you want real plates, not takeaway containers
The value is a big part of why steak night is so popular, but it is not the only reason. You get a proper sit-down meal, time to catch up with whoever you are with, and you leave without a sink full of dishes waiting at home.
Wednesday Parma Night: Midweek Comfort You Do Not Have to Cook
By Wednesday, most people are ready for some comfort food, and few pub meals hit that mark like a good parma. Our Parma Night gives you two clear options: $20 for a classic parma, or $25 for Parma specials that change and keep things interesting.
For us, a proper parma starts with generous crumbed chicken that stays juicy, not dry. We top it with rich Napoli sauce and plenty of melted cheese, then round things out with the pub-style sides you expect. It is the sort of meal that feels like a reward for making it halfway through the week, without needing to turn the oven on.
If you are keen to know what toppings are on feature, our Parma specials are where we have some fun. We regularly share the Parma of the Week on Instagram, so checking there is the easiest way to see what new ideas are on the go and plan your Wednesday visit around a flavour that grabs you.
Parma Night suits a lot of different midweek catch-ups, including:
Families who want stress-free dinners everyone will eat
Mates having a casual catch-up over a couple of drinks
Easygoing date nights with zero pressure
Holidaymakers craving classic pub food after a big day out
With both the traditional favourite and more adventurous options on offer, it is easy for everyone at the table to find something comforting on our San Remo pub menu.
Thursday Tex Mex Night: Spice up Your Weeknight Routine
By Thursday, plenty of people are ready to lean into weekend mode a little early, and our Tex Mex Night is made for that. We build the menu around quality butcher-cut meats and punchy flavours, with dishes like black bean tostadas, loaded nachos and rotating taco and burrito bowl specials.
The nachos come piled high and are perfect for sharing, especially if you want something to pick at while you chat. Black bean tostadas and burrito bowls bring in some fresher, lighter options, while taco and meat specials give you something a bit different from the standard pub fare. Because the Tex Mex dishes rotate, Thursday always feels fresh, even if it is your regular night out.
Margarita specials help set the tone, pairing nicely with the spice and turning a regular Thursday into a low-key celebration. It is a relaxed, social kind of night, with food that suits sharing just as much as individual meals.
Tex Mex Night is especially popular with:
Groups of friends looking for a fun, easy dinner spot
Younger diners keen on bold flavours and shareable plates
People who like lighter options as well as hearty meals
Anyone who wants to break out of their usual midweek dinner routine
That mix of variety, flavour and flexibility keeps our San Remo pub menu feeling lively as the week winds down.
Making the Most of Your Weeknight at the Westernport
To get the best out of a weeknight visit, a little planning can help. If you are bringing kids, coming a bit earlier in the evening often means quicker seating and a more relaxed pace. For larger groups, booking ahead takes the stress out of finding a spot, especially on popular special nights.
Before you head in, it can be worth a quick look at our social media to see:
Any extra specials running that night
The latest Parma of the Week
Live music or events that might be on
Changes to kitchen hours or menu notes
At the bar, you can keep things classic with a beer, a glass of wine or a soft drink, or pair the specials with something that suits, like a nice cold drink alongside a porterhouse, your favourite drop with a parma, or a margarita with Tex Mex. The focus for us is always on a relaxed, community feel, where locals and visitors can settle in comfortably and enjoy themselves without any fuss.
Whether you are in the mood for steak, craving a parma or keen on tacos and tostadas, our weeknight specials are built to make dinner decisions simple, affordable and enjoyable. Add the bay views and the easygoing atmosphere, and it is an easy swap for cooking at home any night of the week.
Plan Your Next Easy Dinner at the Westernport
To recap, Tuesdays are for $25 porterhouse steaks with your choice of sauce and sides, Wednesdays bring $20 classic parmas and $25 Parma specials, and Thursdays are Tex Mex nights with butcher-cut meats, black bean tostadas, nachos, rotating taco and burrito bowl specials, plus margarita specials. Each night takes one more decision off your plate, so you can skip cooking without giving up a good meal.
If you like to plan ahead, keeping an eye on our website and Instagram is the best way to stay on top of current specials, the latest Parma of the Week and any events that might add something extra to your night out. Whether you are a local treating yourself after a long day or visiting the area and wanting an easy, tasty option, our San Remo pub menu is ready to sort your weeknight dinners by the water.
