For anyone who loves a traditional roast, nothing beats the comfort of a well-executed Sunday Carvery. And when it comes to value, location, and flavour, the one at The White Whale Pub & Ale easily stands out as the best Sunday carvery roast in the Cayman Islands.
Overlooking the stunning waters of the Caribbean Sea, The White Whale is located in George Town, directly on the harbour. It’s the kind of place that delivers all the charm of a classic British pub with the warm breeze and oceanfront views of the Caribbean. And on Sundays, the space comes alive with the sounds (and smells) of a full carvery feast that rivals any Sunday brunch on Seven Mile Beach—minus the price tag.
A proper roast, done right
Running from 12:00 to 3pm every Sunday, the Sunday Carvery at The White Whale is the real deal. It features all the hallmarks of a traditional roast, plus seasonal vegetables, gravy, and a full line-up of hearty sides. Try a homemade soup and fresh baked breads to start. Or, the Italian mussels in red sauce are a firm favourite.
For just CI$22 per person, it’s an unbeatable deal that’s hard to find elsewhere in Grand Cayman. In a country where eating out can often be expensive, especially on weekends, this Carvery offers a true dining experience that feels indulgent but stays affordable.
It’s everything you want from a Sunday roast: warm, welcoming, and full of flavour.
Better than brunch (and we love brunch)
Brunch in the Cayman Islands is a full-blown social event, and if you’ve ever tried to get a last-minute table at one of the big brunch spots along West Bay Road, you’ll know it comes with a hefty price tag and often, a bit of a scene. While places like Tillies, Blue Cilantro, and Ms. Piper’s Kitchen + Garden certainly have their appeal, sometimes you just want good food, a relaxed setting, and a place to park your car without needing valet.
Forget the stuffiness of fine dining. That’s where The White Whale comes in. It’s more laid-back than the typical Sunday brunch, but just as satisfying. You get all the variety of a buffet, with that comforting, home-style roast dinner feeling. Plus, the setting—right on the water, with a cool breeze and plenty of space. Hit the best beaches on island after your roast for the perfect Sunday!
And yes, there’s plenty of parking.
Perfectly located and family friendly
The White Whale is located in George Town and conveniently close to residents living across the island. It’s an easy stop for a relaxed Sunday lunch or an early afternoon with friends and family. The venue itself is casual and comfortable, with indoor and outdoor seating, nautical accents, and friendly staff who keep things moving efficiently.
Kids are welcome, and the menu combined with the atmosphere makes it a no-brainer for families looking for a low-stress weekend outing.
More than just a roast
While the Sunday Carvery is worth the trip on its own, The White Whale also has an extensive lunch menu and dinner offerings that make it a solid pick any day of the week. Their take on elevated pub fare includes blackened mahi, battered fish and chips, and crispy Nashville chicken sandwiches, plus bar snacks like loaded nachos and calamari.
Seafood lovers will appreciate the use of fresh seafood, and there are vegetarian options like hearty salads that round out the menu. And if you’re just there for drinks, their wine list is well-curated, and their beer taps feature a rotating selection of craft and imported ales.
Part of Bite Club, The White Whale is on locals’ radars. And rightly so—it’s casual, consistent, and cost-effective, with great food that fits the moment. Whether you’re looking for a simple weekday meal or a weekend treat, it’s a strong contender among the best restaurants for locals looking to escape the bustle of Seven Mile Beach.
Why locals love it
The combination of location, price, and quality is a rare trifecta in Grand Cayman. In a place known for high-end dining—think Pappagallo, Calypso Grill, or the Ritz—it’s refreshing to find a spot on the water that delivers solid food without the resort markup.
It’s also one of the few places in George Town that offers a proper Sunday roast without turning it into an overly elaborate (and overpriced) production. For under CI$30, you get a full plate of roast meats, vegetables, sides—with a sea view to boot. And there’s no need to dress up unless you want to. Come as you are, and settle in for the afternoon.
The White Whale also accepts credit cards, making it easy for groups or those popping in after a long Sunday morning out.
