Shining Peak Brewing - New Plymouth

Was a very friendly welcome. Felt like they treated everyone like a local. Fast and attentive service. Good range of craft beers and enjoyed my Charcuterie Board. The beer flavoured ice cream was a bit underwhelming. Kids burger on the table next to me looked yum. Only real downer was the men’s toilets reeked of urine. Otherwise was a nice trendy venue with good vibe. Would go back.

Unbelievably good place. Cool environment, great food and fantastic beer. Any Pommie expat missing their local pub should try the Dicky Barrett. Proper beer from a proper beer engine. Staff were excellent, particularly our hostess Jean (apologies if the spelling isn't right) who was funny, engaging and attentive. One of the best meals out I've had in a long, long time.

Stopped in for a quick drink on the drive home, saw the dessert menu and could not go past the trio of beer inspired ice creams. 10/10 with great service. Look forward to visiting again soon. PS. Those donuts were out the gate

Outstanding start to finish. Amazing menu that lives up to the hype. Worth every penny. Shout out to the awesome staff who made our Magic Fannys tingle.

We popped in on a very busy Friday night expecting long wait times, however were pleasantly surprised by the attentive service and friendliness of staff. The place is well known for their beers but as a non-drinker I opted for their mango cocktail- which was light and quite lovely with our meal. From the small plates, we got their truffle fries and honey chicken, and one main: the fish of the day to share. Overall I really enjoyed our food, especially the fish dish
