Amazing food, great customer service. The girls behind the bar were very welcoming and willing to have a joke and share thoughts about drinks. Definitely would come back again! Tazz
5 Star Review by Mayank Mittal
First time to this Brewery and the experience was good. We ordered a Sampler of 6 beers and all of them are amazing in taste. Their flavours are so different and unique. Apart from it, ordered Potato wedges and Hawaiian Pizza both are so good in quality of preparation and quantity was more than sufficient for two people.
4 Star Review by dhruv sharma
Really good food and probably one of the best chips i have had. The buffalo wings were awesome. I had my doubts as the place was packed with people but really enjoyed the food here. The service was surpsingly quick as well. Amazing views and great staff.

Friendly service. The meals are huge and delicious. The schnitzel/Parma were massive and the fish and chips so tasty. Value for money. Highly recommend.
2 Star Review by AlMichelle Sauer
Selection of beers was very good, prices were hexy but expected. However, I haven't eaten here for a number of year, now I remember why. This would have to be the worst chicken schnitty I've ever had. Thinnest, hardest, most tasteless piece of chicken with a texture like it was triple deep fried; from yesterday. Hard as a rock. Bought double sauces, came out 1 & 1/2 sauces, but found they'd both turned to treacle before I could pour them. And I needed every bit of moisture imaginable to cut & digest the schnitty. Lesson learned, have a drink here then head back to the steeler's for a real schnitty.
