About Alfred's Kitchen

Forget polished dining rooms—Alfred’s Kitchen is Guildford’s open-air refuge when late-night hunger hits. Night owls congregate around the brick fire pit, warming cold hands over the flames while sipping pea and ham soup ladled thick from the wood stove. Generations of regulars come for the hefty, foil-wrapped burgers—especially the steak-loaded Cram. Grab a basket of chips dusted with chicken salt and drowned in gravy, then step inside the vintage train carriage to eat as the trains rumble past.

  • Charcoal-Simmered Pea & Ham Soup: Simmered over traditional stoves until thick and hearty, served steaming hot in cups.
  • Outdoor Brick Fire Pit: A central brick fire pit where night crowds gather, thaw out, and swap stories.
  • Converted Train Carriage Seating: Restored vintage rail car offering sheltered, retro booth seating beside the tracks.
  • Old-School Griddle Burgers: Generously stacked burgers, from the hefty Cram to classic beef and bacon favourites.

  • Substantial Old-School Burgers and Sides

    Crafted to beat ravenous late-night hunger, the kitchen delivers substantial, cooked-to-order burgers accompanied by hot, crispy chips.

    The burgers were incredibly huge, the chips crisp to perfection and the pea and ham soup were perfect for a cold winter's night.

  • Restored Vintage Train Carriage Seating

    Guests can step inside an authentic converted railway carriage outfitted with dining tables for a memorable vintage dining setting.

    Love being able to sit in the train carriage to eat in, the fire pit out front is an awesome option when it's cold.

    The open flames and communal layout bring together nocturnal crowds and locals, sparking easy conversation and shared laughs among patrons.

    sit around the little fire pit waiting for your order and chat with other random punters because that's the kind of place it is.

  • The Cram Burger

    One of the legendary burgers in Perth. The cram was $13.50 in 2012 and now double the price, but it still tastes the same.

  • Hawaiian Burger

    Late night Hawwain burger and a cold can of coke, standing by the fire as the Stirling Arms emptied out across the road...great crowd of people around the fire and a few laughs..

Before you head over

Make the most of late-night queues, fire pit seating, and heritage train cars—visit the website to plan your meal.

  • Call Ahead to Skip the Burger Queue

    Burgers are made to order with peak wait times running 10 to 20 minutes; call in your order around 15 minutes before arriving if you want to skip the queue.

  • Warm Up with Soup by the Fire Pit

    Grab a hot cup of pea and ham soup right away from the counter to sip and warm up around the open brick fire pit while waiting for your burger order.

  • Catch the Train Carriage Before 10 PM

    Arrive earlier in the night if you want to dine inside the retro train carriage, as carriage seating can close around 10 PM while outdoor late-night service continues.
