My wife and I together with 2 relatives from Perth in Western Australia had a most enjoyable meal - main courses, desserts, coffees and drinks. Both the food and the service were excellent.

Glassan

About the restaurant

Dead Centre is not a faceless corporation…milking the beer industry for all it’s worth. Instead, we’re a tight knit crew that relies on friends, family, colleagues and other breweries to create a product that we can truly be proud of.

Fresh, flavoursome and (wherever possibly) local ingredients are what give our beer it’s character. Cutting corners here is not an option at Dead Centre Brewing. We believe you get out what you put in…so only the best goes in.
