Reviews
Had a Christmas dinner there with work mates. Had the 3 course Christmas meal offered. Building is a former Fire Station and displays an old style building with a number of function rooms. Our group was about 15 in number and food was provided along the length of the table for every one to pick their choice of food. A nice experience.
About 6+ people were waiting to even be acknowledged at the front, then we were shown the door to the beer garden. Despite having made a booking there was no reservation or even a suitable table. All the music was way too loud no matter where we sat. Ordering food took an hour, we couldn't even look at the menu without pulling a few teeth. Then once we ordered we had to get it ourselves from the window. Seeing the many orders pile up we just wait for the text telling us whats ours, not that we knew a text was coming at all. The photo is $15!! Of chicken. On top of terrible everything the food was poor quality. Dry chicken, all reheated, tiny quantities. The "smoked" brisket tasted like rehydrated jerky. Salty, lacking any flavour outside of salt or brine.
I felt this would be a great place to sit and chill with a couple of beers, the place had a good vibe.
We ordered the loaded Brisket fries and we weren't very impressed, I feel it was slightly garnished with Brisket not "loaded". Perhaps throw a bit more meat on the chips for the price and maybe even some bacon to dress it up a bit more.
A big thumbs up for the double cheese burger, it was juicy and full of smokey char flavour. I would get the burger again 😋
It is a very good place for any occasion. The ground floor has a restaurant, further back is a Beer Garden Bistro and a bar🍸🍹🍺🥂. Upstairs is ideal for a wedding reception or birthdays. The food was great, and the service was impeccable. The staff were friendly and attentive. All up, it was a good experience. The carpark is just behind the Bistro. Highly recommended. Attended a 21st birthday 🎂.
Very homey atmosphere with pub like food.
We had a dinner meeting there and it was a cosy warm place in the cold winter night. The starter was good, croquettes, followed by BBQ meat- brisket,pork belly and chicken tighs accompanied by pickled cucumbers and cabbage and coleslaw.
Squares of Dafonoise' potatoes and roasted carrots were fantastic sides complimenting the main.
The dessert was a plate with different sweet bites- tiramisu, choc tartelettes and choccolate mousse cake.
Nick was great and his service was excellent.
I would recommend to pop by if you are in the area and in a mood for homey delicious food in a relaxing, warm and rustic ambiance.
Great, genuine food. I ordered the Pitmaster Duo of Meats - Pulled Pork and Brisket which was delicious but wish they served another bread bun with it considering there’s two types of meat there which would allow me to make my own sliders. The fries (which we ordered another serving) and roasted carrots were perfect sides. The Pecan Tart was amazing and the Tiramisu was ok. The powdered chocolate on top let it down.
Very happy with tonight’s service, food and atmosphere in the restaurant were great. Only negative was our water wasn’t replaced.
Lots of choices for those that are GF and/or DF. Very happy that I could actually have a dessert with the vegan option/GF/DF panacotta. We will be coming back and bringing friends! Look forward to checking out the rest of the venue and their bottomless brunch.
A lovely laid back smokehouse/beer garden, lovely atmosphere and food.
We celebrated our work dinner here and sat around in the beer garden. There's a bar dedicated to the outdoor area and you can order food through the Mr Yum app using a QR code.
The food was great, I enjoyed the
Loaded fries, pulled pork, sweet potato fries, smoked honey roasted carrots and Tiramisu.
They had outdoor games like bean bag tossing and Jenga...very fun!
Definitely recommended for large groups.
They also have indoor dining which I didn't get to experience yet.
