   We booked outside, weather was terrible. We were moved inside and our day was fantastic. No complaints and outside would be forearms weather permitting

   Great vibe, lots of age groups enjoying the gorgeous setting out on the grass. Thank goodness we made a booking…people without one were turned away in front of us. Without a word, our table in the sun was immediately moved to the shade. Wifi wasn’t working so we had to queue to order food & drinks at the bar - no biggie. Food was fresh and tasty, wine was chilled & delicious. Only criticism: we ordered a big platter, with a choice of 2 cheeses…we ordered the blue but received a cheddar in its place. Not the end of the world & not worth annoying the busy, friendly (& very accomodating) wait staff. We’re Melbournians & have been here many times over last few years.

   Have always really loved this place, been many times with small and large groups, celebrating mum's 83rd birthday today as it's always been one of her favourite places. However, on this occasion I was a little disappointed. There wasn't enough bar staff, queuing for 10 to 15 minutes for a drink every time. The food we got was good quality, however, we waited hours for the last serve of fish tacos, they had run out of fish but didn't let us know until we followed up after waiting a couple of hours for it to arrive the kitchen was closed for orders by then. Not sure we will back.

   Great venue for a lazy afternoon lunch and chillin the sunshine. Plenty to keep the kids occupied with Hamish the border collie on hand to supervise.

   Enjoyed a pizza, chips, fish tacos and the large cheese and meat platter. Excellent. And a bottle of the Chardonnay went down well. All the staff were helpful and friendly. We will go back!

   Took our sister in law here. Great brewery style food with burgers and pizzas as well as share food options. Amazing setting outside in the sun with some great shady spots and there was some live music playing at the time.

   Farmdog Brewery was easily one of the most amazing places on the Bellarine Penninsula. The food was fantastic, had the burgers and they were tasty, fresh and perfectly prepared. The beer brewed on site were simply great....the vanilla porter just got better each time (had a few). Staff were friendly and entertaining and really knew their craft. And a family affair to boot. Wines were top notch, unfortunately I did not try their gin however others I were with said 5 stars too. The wine paddle came out in scientific sample tubes/bottles, love the creativity. The venue was spot on serene and of course dog friendly. Just a superb experience all round

   Lovely location and very busy, however thankfully we had booked a table. Great variety of drinks, husband loved the Dark Ale and I loved the Rose. We were a party of 4 and two of our dishes came out together, the third about 7 mins later and it was a good 20+ mins for the 4th meal. We questioned at the bar and were advised it was on its way. They were apologetic upon delivery of the meal but appear to be very understaffed. We also chose this location as it advertised live music on a Sunday, but there was none.
