Brewery

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.

Excellent, tasty food in a lovely, warm, buzzy atmosphere. Had a really enjoyable dinner experience, with our 2 children. The hotel was at full capacity so as the evening progressed, the restaurant got busier and service got a little slower. It really wasn’t too big an issue as we weren’t rushing but we might have moved on a little quicker had service allowed. Highly recommend. Lovely dining experience!
