Our Croydon Taphouse is open to the public five days a week from Wednesday to Sunday. Enjoy a range of core and limited Dainton releases, as well as a locally-sourced cider, all expertly poured from our 14 custom taps.
We've got a great selection of local wines and spirits, as well as a food menu that includes mouth-watering burgers and delicious share plates.

We've always got something exciting happening, from weekly trivia nights to limited edition beer releases.
Please note although there is some cover in the Beer Garden, if there is rain we will do our best to move you inside but we can't guarantee a table, also the tables for 2 are barrel tables with no cover.

**Please note our kitchen closes at 6pm on Sundays**

    Good value, friendly staff, delicious food. Prompt service. Order the pork ribs early. Menu highlight was the brisket and the chocolate tart.

    Great customer service. Everyone was lovely. Food came out hot and super tasty. Brisket and onion rings were notably amazing but overall it was an awesome first visit. Kids adored the desserts.

    The food and drinks were great but sadly the live music was way too loud - we were basically having to yell across the table at each other. The singer was very talented and we enjoyed his music but the feedback on the sound system made it quite unbearable!

    Ordered the Q-Platter for two. Mate and myself loved the Briskit and Pulled Pork! Snags were delish. The samples of the special brews went down a treat!

    Friendly place, staff nice and food yummy. Music choice a bit loud and not relaxing while having a drink and eating. We had people ranged from 20 yrs to 60 who all agreed.
