Laura Maree
We celebrated our wedding reception at Earp in February and it was amazing! Kat and the team were attentive and had great communication throughout the planning process, nothing was an issue especially with a large dietary wedding. The night ran so smoothly, the food was so delicious- we had so many guests commenting on the food!! The wine and beer list included was amazing quality and everything felt like next level compared to other venues we looked at. A night we will never forget, take me back!! Thanks Earp xx

We went for the blending date night last night and had a wonderful time! We got to taste a ton of flavor options and mix and match what we wanted. The food was delicious and definitely worth the price included in the ticket. Nes and Elliott were very helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. We will definitely be back to try blending a different alcohol!

We had our engagement party in the function room at Earps and were very impressed with the events team managed by Kat. Kat and the team were incredibly helpful and laid-back, which made the day so much more enjoyable and stress free. The event space was perfect for the number of guests and the bar staff were efficient in servicing drinks and were friendly towards all our guests. No request was ever too much and the team was happy to accomodate our many questions and visits to the venue prior to the event. Thanks again team!

We had a group of 8 people to do the spirit school. The 4 boys distilled rum and us 4 girls distilled gin. We had a fantastic day. Ness and May took our class and were fantastic. Very informative and fun. Just saying Tam and I took home Silver with our gin. 🥈We stayed and had dinner there and the food was amazing. Thanks earps for a great afternoon.

I had a fantastic dining experience at Earp Distilling Co., dining alone and enjoying every moment of it. The atmosphere of the venue is welcoming, elegant, and perfectly suited for a relaxing evening. For my meal, I started with the Lamb Skewers seasoned with garlic, chilli, and oregano served with fresh rocket. The lamb was cooked perfectly, juicy and tender with a delightful hint of spice from the chilli, complemented beautifully by the peppery rocket. Next, I enjoyed the Spatchcock with Vanilla Carrot Puree, Broccolini, and Master Stock—a house favourite and understandably so. The vanilla carrot puree was particularly outstanding—smooth, rich, and bursting with flavour. It paired excellently with the crispy-skinned, succulent spatchcock and fresh broccolini. Throughout the evening, the service was great, attentive, warm, and genuinely friendly. To accompany my dinner, I opted for sparkling mineral water, although the gin menu and cocktails looked amazing. Overall, Earp delivered a great experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone.
