Ladbroken Distillery Brewhouse — Attraction in Tumbarumba

My day at Ladbroken Distillery was a truly memorable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth and generosity. Robbie went above and beyond with her delicious, stone-fired pizzas topped with maple bacon and figs. I also had the opportunity to sample their signature gin, some seasonal varieties, and Neil's barrel-aged whisky – all fantastic, especially on a clear spring day.

What struck me was the family's attention to detail and love of their craft. Robbie's dedication was evident in the incredible pizza, made with her own three-day fermented dough. Neil worked tirelessly to keep us warm with wood fires on the deck, and was incredibly good-natured when I broke his axe on a redgum log (sorry!). Finn's recommendations for drinks were spot on, and Jade was a gracious hostess, clearly proud of the family business.

The combination of exceptional drinks, delicious food, and warm hospitality made my visit to Ladbroken Distillery truly special. It's clear that this is a labor of love for everyone involved, and I highly recommend...

Review scoring: 3 as expected based on price, quality and reputation, ie as expected. 4 better than expected and 2 lower quality than expected. 5 absolutely outstanding in all respects against expectations; food quality and presentation, staff, decor and atmosphere.

This venue is superb in every aspect. The owners, Neil & Robbie, are amazing friendly and hospitable hosts. The venue is so unexpectedly great, out of the way, an outside garden / service area and a wonderfully eclectic inside sales area next to the in sight distillery. Neil is a fabulous story teller with personal stories of the ingredients that go in the gin making process, the farm, the picking, the builder with ripe green figs and the resultant creation. A truely wonderfully unexpected experience. Please visit on your travels

On my rating this venue generally would get a 4 as much better than expected, but not wishing to spoil the perfect 5……. 🤣. And frankly it is probably...

We have been staying at the Caravan Park, and came to lunch at Ladbroken Brewhouse. The service was fabulous, in that being able to talk to the Head Brewer (I call him) and one of the owners was a real treat for us. Fortunately for us, maybe not for them, it was relatively quiet with only 3 tables occupied, which gave us a great chance to have a chat. Robin (co owner) was a wonderful source of information about the town and their journey to where they are currently at. We did 2 tasting paddles, my wife did the Gin which had the their Dry, Writers and Blood-orange, and I did the Vodka, Lemon-cello and Hazelnut liquor. A great tutorial on how to taste and experience the different flavours available was given. The Pizzas are fantastic. 7 sorts available, we can recommend the Vegitarian and the Maple Bacon. I’ll let you experience that one. An easy 21/2 hours spent … and came away with a bottle of their Vodka and the Bood-orange Gin. Will be back...
