The food isn’t great. Chicken Parmi was absolutely the worst I have ever had. The audacity to believe you can serve up such mediocre food at a high price is outrageous. The venue is no where near busy enough to think that serving up cold food which clearly looks reheated. Add on top of that the electronic message that tells customers there is a 30 minute delay makes it more insulting.

Have you ever wanted cancer? Well, it’s easy! Get yourself carcinogenic.. today! Just order a $16 meal, have it be awful and dare to Ask for a new one! Your “chef” will ensure your that even if you feed it to your dog, it might die. Welcome to Thornbury.

Food, arcades and beer, what more do you need? Arcade had all the old school classics not to mention all the street fighters. Carlton draught tank on tap along with numerous others. Plenty of room to gather with friends and family. Food was great too (food trucks or try their menu!).

Welcome to Thorn, Sunday afternoon. Place was full to the Brim. Great food, good selection of drinks. Staff were friendly despite it being packed and some big bookings. Unreal arcade inside for kids. Really nice space. Will be back very soon!

Exceeded all my expectations. Located in the busy area of High Street in Northcote, Melbourne's first giant beer garden and food-truck park that hosts a rotating list of trucks from all around depending on schedule. Plenty of options to suite everyones needs and even an arcade to keep the little ones at bay.
