Colonial Brewing Co. Margaret River
Food was very bad. Poor quality. The only good point is the playground.
Such a great family spot, great food, service and beer 🍺 We especially loved the golf range and the kids play area 😁
Staff not very bothered or courteous. The food was not enjoyed by any of our table of 14. Very basic taste or not well balanced. With all the outstanding food in other breweries this was a dissapointment. Nice space but will not return. Sorry!
Did not like the fact the only option to pay is PayPass and for using it you get surcharged, not fair on customers. Service is poor have to line up to order food and re line up to order drinks. Menu selection is poor, not many options. No cold water l, self filling tap water.
The chicken burger was not good. Hard, leathery taste and brown meat - I could only eat 1 bite
10 minute wait to be seated even though table booked in advance. 10 minute queue to place food order. Then five minutes to queue for a drink. Disturbed to see a food order delivered to a an unoccupied table. Blowflies crawled over chips and pizza until patrons returned to seats after a few minutes. Several staff walked past and did nothing. So unaware of how long their food had been sitting there it was eaten. Gross. Most certainly killed our appetites. No cups available at self serve water station. Had planned to settle in the arvo but bailed after first drink. Disappointed as we loved every other brewery we visited.
When we arrived we were greeted but this actually felt like we were being briefed. The staff, although nice, were only concerned about the functionality of the day ensuring we knew where and where not to order food.
The menu was very minimal with not many options. Pizza was a disappointment.
We always enjoy it for the kids as they have a good time. Other than this, it was an ok experience.
Great family friendly venue. Lots of shade and big picnic tables that not close to other guests unlike another beer venue we went to on the previous day and we were jammed in like sardines !
Amazing burgers and really hot jalapeño poppers would definitely go again.
beer is also amazing as you come to expect from colonial
Great place for families. A few seasonable beers on the drinks menu is needed to supplement the stable of regular beers.
No internet/wifi to access table ordering system. Poor service made by staff when showing to table and advising on ordering/beer selection etc. Play ground not too bad and shaded a plus. Plenty of breweries starting to pop up and I feel this one will be left alone if it doesn't step up.
Hello Dizko Thanks for your feedback, the ME&U ordering system was not in use during your visit which is why you were not able to access it. We have limited 4G reception at the venue and the local network was crashing due to the increased volume of signal traffic in the area over xmas. Apologies if your host didn't clearly explain the ordering process while you were being seated.
The food was terrible!
We ordered the burgers from the van & they were yuk, the pasta salad was too heavy to eat with burger... how about slaw instead?
Ordered 2 baskets of chips... I think they forgot the chips? It was covered in salt that no one could actually eat them... $20 in the bin!
It was quite so that was great which is why we picked New Year’s Day otherwise it’s far too busy.
Wait staff were miserable, drinks were slow.
What an experience & glad to say our 3 families will never be back as everyone hated it!
Hello Suzi Thanks for the feedback, the food truck was operated by an independant operator. We will pass on your feedback to them. Apologies if the staff seemed tired, The entire SW region is experiencing a massive labour shortage due to COVID. The week you visited was one of our busiest ever and the staff were run off their feet. We will make sure more coffee is available to them before your next visit. Cheers CBCo
Improved a lot since there last time! Food truck great for meals for kids! Play ground is perfect
Thanks for the review Natty!! Cheers CBCo
Love Colonial - great beer, delicious food, awesome atmosphere and friendly staff.
Thanks for the positive feedback Kate, its has been a hectic summer so far!
All the outdoor activities like golf in the water were removed on visit. Our drinks and food orders got mixed up. Staff seemed overwhelmed and rushed. Big queue to get in despite booking. Music was good and playground was fine. No fans or sprayers in under cover outdoor area so very hot and sweaty on a hot day. We won’t be visiting again for awhile. Not what it used to be
Hello Kym Thanks for taking the time to leave your comments. Yes, there have been long ques to get into the venue, the COVID register is adding a significant amount of time to the guest check in. We are doing our best to get everyone seated in the quickest time possible. We have recently installed 500sqm of shadesail over the beer garden we do our best to keep the tables in the shade during lunch service.
Great casual vibe, numerous bars but you had to go to main bar for soft drinks which they could inform you before seating you. We lined up at one bar outside to order drinks and were told only alcoholic drinks from that bar and then line up as second time for soft drinks.
Thanks for the support Ron!
Servings of food very small....
Waited for ever to use the driving range.
The staff were very rude to me and my friends and the tables were never cleaned and rubbish left everywhere. Not a very nice day to have gone
Hello OSHort, Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience at the brewery. Firstly let me apologise that your visit didn't live up to expectations. We take customer service seriously and have counselled the bar staff working that shift. Its also disapointing to hear that the beer garden was not maintained to our usual standards. We have installed more bins in the beer garden to deal with the increased foot traffic during this coming peak season Eamon Clifford CBCo
Great outdoor atmosphere, easy place to take kids.
Thanks for the great review! Merry Xmas CBCo
Food was not great or what menu stated. Would not go again.
Hello Heidi Thanks for taking the time to share your review with us. Which dish in particular were you not satisfied with? Did you talk to a manager on the day to voice your concerns? We take our jobs seriously and will always try to fix any issues on the spot to ensure everyone that heads to the brewery leaves with a smile on their face. Once I receive your feedback on the dish(es) I will pass your feedback on to the kitchen team. Best regards, Eamon Clifford Venue Manager
The food was very disappointing. Won't be going here again
Food portions were so small for the price we paid. Very disappointed
Beers are developed so that they are now wins with every tap.
