The food was absolutely delicious. We had the set menu so we would experience a range of things we would not normally order. So glad we did. Our waitress was so natural and knowledgeable about the food and beverages. Took her advice on the beer, wine and gin. Loved them all as they went so well with the food. The Portside gin is absolutely delicious.

Had a great night at Earp. The food has good variety, the cocktails are perfect but the staff are next level. Fun, good timing, knowledgeable - they provided an inviting and comfortable space.

Great time at our Gin blending experience. It was enjoyable, educational, and loads of fun - Ness is an awesome host and her expertise was matched by her enthusiasm and humour. Dinner afterwards was excellent. The share plates are a great concept and we thoroughly enjoyed the meal which was absolutely cooked to perfection. Will be back!

Great service!! Was given information about beers and spirits and never left wondering where a waiter was as well as very friendly staff. Bathrooms were clean and tidy. Food and drinks came out quickly and were fresh. Musician playing was great and not too distracting, could still have a conversation easily. Bar stools around barrels was a little bit uncomfortable but understandably bigger groups were sat at tables and chairs. Great atmosphere and enjoyable experience.
