About

#access friendly

  • Disabled car parking is at the back, not via the main entrance.
  • Ramp at the side to enter.
  • Access friendly toilets.

#family friendly

  • playground
  • kids menu

#senior friendly:

  • Seniors discount available Thurs – Fri, 10% off

Managers’ ambience tip:

  • Is moderate in volume most days as it is so popular. They quite often serve 100+ people 7 days a week.
  • Quiet times are 3-4pm in between service, but even in summer this can’t be guaranteed.
  • If dining on the weekend be in and out by 1pm – noise level doubles at that time
  • Call ahead if you are noise sensitive and want to sit inside, if weather permits on the deck or outside will be ideal.

Ear Bud Q Tip:

  • The deck / outside are the quietest spots.
  • We’ve dined here twice on a fully booked weekend, and as long as you have eaten your lunch by 1pm you will be ok, that is when the stampede of people including larger groups come in.

Note:

Kitchen is closed 3-5pm (snack menu only available)

Outside / Verandah is the most ambient spots: Inside is:

📢 Hard, reflective surfaces (e.g., tiled floors, glass walls)

📢 Lack of sound-absorbing materials (e.g., no carpets or curtains)

📢 High ceilings that cause echo or sound bouncing

📢 Bare walls with no acoustic treatment

📢 Open-plan seating without sound barriers

📢 No booth seating

📢 Large communal tables contributing to noise

📢 High occupancy 

📢 Large parties or events held in the same space as regular diners

    It is a converted shearing shed so acoustics are not great but the 2pm sitting enabled conversation inside.
    Very good service and food that satisfies in quantity and quality.
    A new outdoor area has improved this area. Where the view is great and conversation easiest.z
    There are indoor rooms off the main room where conversation was good.

    The brewed beers are fantastic and a good variety.

    Suggest booking per phone or email and requesting the area that suits best.

    Hubby said if that was his last meal, he would be happy!

    We ate:
    SLIDERS (THE SHED FAVOURITES); Slider versions of the three favorites – Beef, Pulled pork & Chicken, served with chips.

    The special of the week; marinated ribs, so tender they fell off the bone (hubbys choice of last meal)

    And the squid salad special – drool drool!

    EAR BUD Q TIP

    This place is busy for a reason, the food and craft beer is divine with a view that you can stare at all day, so book ahead.

    Inside: was quiet while we were there (11.30am) but the manager said it is moderate in volume most days as it is so popular. They quite often serve 100+ people 7 days a week.

    Front deck: have dined here several times and weather permitting is your best bet. Speaker volume not intrusive so easy to have a conversation.

    Outside: again easy to converse as it is outdoors but close to the playrgound so excited kids may be excited nearby.

    MANAGERS TIP
    Quiet times are 3-4pm in between service, but even in summer this can’t be guaranteed.

    Call ahead if you are noise sensitive and want to sit inside, if weather permits on the deck or outside will be ideal.

    So this was my lunch today at Forktree brewing. ‘The Shed Favourite (Sliders)’ perfectly paired with ‘SAs Lobo Cloudy Apple Cider’ and ‘SAs Sunrise Pale Ale’ for hubby.

    The food was divine and the view matched.

    !!! EAR BUD Q TIP !!!
    If you want to enjoy the conversation as much as the food, sit outside on the balcony. There is rated quiet – low, but inside today while fully booked it is moderate – lively due to the design and layout.

    Great location overlooking Carrickalinga. The brewery/ restaurant has a good selection of home made beers and specialty meals. A rustic venue with lovely views across rolling hills.
    Kids and pet friendly areas are available at this place. Would Highly recommend this place!

    sat on deck, overlooking the playground, sandpit, blackboard for the kids,

    local craft beer, amazing food, great service, 5 star views, very generous servings.

    Family run business. Is a microbrewery that serves its own beers, you can get a paddle of beers for $20 if u cant decide which one to choose. Kids menu only $10, and they feature SA wines and ciders.

    We LOVED it!!!!!!
