The coffee wasn’t amazing, but it’s definitely one of the prettiest spots I’ve been to. There’s a huge round window that makes you feel like you’re on a boat, plus a lovely balcony facing the river. The decorations are really quirky.
We had our wedding at the Mud Dock in September 2025. I cannot recommend this venue enough. Firstly, throughout the planning they were really responsive and Victoria was brilliant at advising and helping us plan the menu and decorations. They completely handled our set up and it looked stunning. Secondly, we didn't have to think about anything on the day - it just ran to plan! Thirdly, the food was gorgeous and really great with allergies. We were a little worried about it being enough when service started but but by the end everyone was stuffed. Finally, all the staff on the day were so nice and quick on the bar. They were also very gracious when we smashed quite a few glasses... We can't fault any of the day. We had 76 guests for food and another 15 in the evening. This was the perfect sized venue for that many people. If you book the Mud Dock (which you should) I would also recommend our DJ Dom Lawson, who was brilliant and just got himself all set up and sorted, and kept the dancefloor completely full until the end. Plus our incredible photographer, Matt Willis - the photos speak for themselves.
We recommend this place - especially if it’s a sunny or nice day. The deck is great with a view of the water, the service is fast and kind, and the food is excellent. They had gluten free options - their regular pancakes are naturally gluten free!
We had our wedding day at Mud Dock in July 2025. It was the most amazing day organised by the Mud dock team - from the initial communication and planning meetings to the day itself everything ran smoothly and the team were absolutely incredible. The food was delicious (we had vegan sharing plates) and there was so much of it. Thank you for an amazing wedding day! (Photos by @whencharliemethannah)
Gorgeous spot with amazing light and view of the harbour. Staff are kind and competent. It was so busy (on a Thursday) that they had to turn big parties away at 12.15! Veggie breakfast was delicious with homemade baked beans and one of the nicest fried eggs I’ve had. Good coffee and fresh orange juice.
Overall a pleasant experience. Service was friendly and enthusiastic. The food was good but not great, nothing went to waste. Certainly a popular place on a weekday lunchtime with two large groups enjoying their meals.
Me and my partner had the English breakfast. It was super tasty and served piping hot. The only thing that was missing was some hashbrowns or even a nice touch of sliced potatoes would’ve gone well. The ingredients of the breakfast as a whole was quality which we prefer to spend that little bit more extra on than a cheap tasting breakfast. The outside furniture was comfortable and the view was beautiful.
Sharing board for two. Very tasty and great for a lunchtime snack. A little overpriced but good quality ingredients, so quite happy. Great selection of drinks. Nicely located by the river with commanding views.
