    Food and service was great, live music was way too loud! I couldn't hear people sitting next to and opposite me. My young nephews and daughters even agreed that it was way too loud. Feed back I'd give is turn down the speakers so people can enjoy the music and conversation
    Dainton BreweryResponded 1 day ago
    Hi Sharon, Every Friday and Saturday we host some great live music, If you'd like to come back and try again, i'd recommend a table in the Laneway, its a quieter area away from the Beer hall set up for people to chat a little easier. Hope this helps

    Great food, overly noisy with music though... Service was crap, waited 10mins for the seating staff to attend the line. Starter took 45 mins to arrive, the main meals arrives 80mins after we ordered and didn't get dessert as it took so long to get meals they wernt serving anymore and were packing up the tables around us saying it was closing time. Overall dissatisfaction!

    Food was good but took extremely long time to arrive. Asked for a wheelchair accessible table and was put up stairs. Moved to another table and asked to move when the next booking arrived at 2-15pm. We hadn’t finished our meal because it took so long to arrive.

    We were sat upstairs with the pool table and games area but it turned out a good spot as it got quite loud. Food was ok and the Banoffee Pie was good. We didn’t get our first course though until 45 mins after ordering, but the staff were nice. Overall experience average unfortunately.

    Rocked up to the place for dinner and it was shut down!! Received a missed call around 4pm in the afternoon on the day of our booking, no voice message was left, literally returned the call 5 minutes later and no one picked up. Tried again at 5pm and 6pm just to make sure our booking was confirmed but no one answered. So drove 30 minutes to the venue to find a message on the front gate advising that it was shut down due to unforeseen reasons. Personally I have voice message and I still don’t understand why a message wasn’t left for myself that it had to be closed due to unforeseen reasons. Really unacceptable!!!

    Hi Anonymous. We're really trying to contact everyone to let them know the situation. We've talked, messaged and left voicemails as best we can, but obviously you've slipped by us on this one. Not much more we can do but apologise at this point, but if you can contact us on venue@dainton.beer we'll try and make it up to you once we're back on track. Dainton.

    I've been to Daintons a lot over the years, however, with the new QBBQ food on offer, it's amazing. The place was packed with diners and everyone looked like they were enjoying their meals. Lots of shared platters to choose from. So much food! The entertainment was really good. Lots of music to enjoy and lots of songs requested were played so good interaction with the crowd. Well done Dainton's!

    We returned this week with friends. The food as usual was amazing. Thankyou for lowering the volume level of music. We could talk and hear each other as well as staff. What a difference and an absolute joy this was. This is now a favourite place to dine. Again a big thankyou
