Hannah
We had our engagement party in the Greenhouse room at Grunthal, and it was absolutely fantastic. Such a beautiful venue with relaxed vibes, and the food was absolutely incredible - everyone was talking about how delicious the pizza and grazing table was! Gorgeous and massive grazing table by Tracey was fabulous and the kitchen catered for all dietaries, even some tricky ones, and the manager Michael was so helpful and made the whole event go so easily (even when he had been hit in the face by a big umbrella earlier that day!) Definitely would recommend booking here for an event!

Jacqui
We attended a function at Grunthal Brew and had an amazing time. The function space is absolutely lovely and the food was incredible!! Being gluten free I'm usually resigned to missing out on lots of the good stuff but at Grunthal I think I ate better than the rest of the crowd! Michael ensured that I had a brilliant selection of sensational GF treats. The fish taco was the best I've ever had and the beetroot and cauliflower dishes were sublime. Even the chips were GF! I'm told that their beer is also fantastic. The venue is in a stunning location and easily accessed from Adelaide city by bus, with stops right out the front. A wonderful experience!
