Chris and his team did a very good job. You can tell they have a passion for what they do. We ordered 2 pizzas and 2 burgers. We think the pizzas were forgotten on the order, but Chris came out and gave us a lovely bottle of CBD lager to compensate. There was no amber on tap during our visit but they did have bottles if you wanted. The venue was very clean and the gents toilet uses old kegs for urinals, a very clever touch for recycling old gear. Chris showed us a picture of where he started things and where he's at now. Will happily visit again and can't wait to try some more of their beer.

Never stayed for eats or drinks but the place looks very relaxing and busy - so that's a good thing. We went on a hike instead. Beautiful views and not to bad of a family walk on the yellow route 💛.. Easy for kids and older folk. Water, sun protection,hats/caps definitely needed as there isn't much canopy - the yellow walk is pretty much open. Also keep in mind it is the bush/outdoors - so bug spray is a must. Parts of the trail has a fair share of ticks but with the right spray/lotion - you should be ok.

What a delightful place! We enjoyed such a wonderful Sunday lunch here - the staff are super friendly and their food's really tasty! We also tried a sample tray of their home brew beer, which we thoroughly enjoyed. There are a couple of walking trails and we would like to hike some of them soon. Great experience!

Excellent service. Delicious food and interesting ales to test. Loved it.

RHC 2023 Awesome venue, staff is fabulous food delicious 😋 Thank you Erica and Team and special thanks to Victor for helping me pack my wheelchairs in the boxes. You guys ROCK

My mom and I had lunch there. We ordered the hawaiian pizza and chicken strips with chips. Beautiful scenery and lovely setup, so peaceful. Staff were friendly and assisted quickly, our food order arrived at our table sooner than I expected. There was a lot of parking available and signs everywhere, making it easy to find everything. I'll definitely be back again and will maybe try out the mountain bike trails they have there on the premises.

Chris, Petra and the team at Emerald Vale share awesome beer, delicious food and wonderful service. This is not fancy venue with airs and graces. Rather it is a salt of the earth type business providing good old fashioned customer service along with brilliant food and tasty, genuine craft ale. Thank you to the Emerald Vale team for an unforgettable two day visit.

A complete stranger in Mogan Bay raved about the Pulled Pork Sandwich at Emeraldvale. Having followed their advice, I am now also an advocate of that incredibly delicious dish... with stir fried vegetables. It is fabulous. Their Pale Ale is an incredibly refreshing summer beverage. Overall the Emeraldvale experience is great fun. There are jungle gyms, a sand pit, and indoor and outdoor games for the kids.

Cool venue will definitely be coming back. Be sure to make a booking over the festive season as they are extremely busy. The venue is lovely and they have an excellent selection of Pale Ale's that they make in their brewery.

Great vibe, excellent food and great beer. The staff are all so friendly and very helpful. One of the best place for a chilled afternoon with family and friends. The play area for the little ones is close by. Definitely a place to try if you have not been there yet. Before or after you can take a walk (hike) along some of the trails starting from a 1km upto a 28km. If you a cyclist there are some lovely trails to challenge yourself on but don't for get to grab a beer afterwards.

Lovely atmosphere. The nachos and focaccia were excellent but the mussels were very disappointing. The service was excellent.

Awesome

I visited the brewery restaurant around 11am and found it to be deserted. My intention was not to eat or drink beer but to buy for home consumption. The brewery sales shop was also not what I had expected. There was a little display fridge on the side of the shop with a relatively small display of beers. I found what I wanted so was not disappointed and the shop assistant was very helpful. There was one beer in the fridge I had not expected to see and if I recall not advertised online... Their CBD lager, a cannabis beer the shop assistant assured me contained a very small amount of cannabis, just enough to relax you. I left carrying a box of the beers I was looking for so my expectations were met. If I had arrived an hour later I would have been on time for a brewery tour, something I will not miss next time. They make some very decent beers here and I am always on the lookout for their beer when in the area. The place was not deserted for long however, a stream of cars entered as I was leaving, the place is rather popular I believe. Well worth a visit.

Having been enjoying their craft beers at other establishments we decided to visit the Brewery itself and were not disappointed. The variety of beers,the good food and friendly staff make it worth a visit. The quirky system of ordering meals works well. We had checked on Google before our first visit and were amazed at a really negative review managed to get such visibility, they obviously didn't visit the same place we did!

Very informative tour Tasty beer Delicious food Great job Chris & the team

Very friendly staff, prompt service & good food

Awesome views, great food & Beer with a warm, friendly atmosphere

Great ambience and food was really good.

Always have a great experience here. Good food, friendly staff and awesome beer. Their own crafts are my personal favourites. The Pale ale is close to perfect. I also enjoy the Amber and Dark Ale. The burgers are huge and I have never left hungry. There is ample place for the kids to play.

Good vibe and good beers. Great venue.

Excellent. Food and drinks are great. Enjoyed it 👍 😊 ☺

Most enjoyable afternoon. Many thanks 😊

Great pizzas and burgers!

Best beer that I have ever had

Enjoy a beautiful view whilst sipping on their lovely beers my favourite was the Dark ale.The host was amazing and offers very helpful recommendations. Staff is super friendly and food was delivered efficiently and tasted amazing ,All their veggies are grown at the venue so you can be assured everything was fresh.I would say this place is a must try to anyone visiting East London

It was a hot day and with me not drinking, the ice tea on tap was a real thirst quencher. For lunch i orded the Chicken Gordon Blue with Stir Fry which i really enjoyed. If the scale allowed it, i would have given it a 6 out of 5 stars, cant wait to visit again.

Enjoyed a great tour of the brewery by Chris. Love what they're doing here in the Eastern Cape.

Great hidden gem, go for a run, hike, cycle and stop for an amazing breakfast with thee best ice tea anywhere

Delicious beer and gin. Wonderful food prepared with love.

This is a lovely eatery with lots of activities to have fun outdoors. The beer is excellent. My only complaint is that although the outdoor area is non-smoking, nobody seems to care and management doesn’t enforce their non-smoking area policy.

Delicious food and drinks, friendly staff

Had a 22 person table for a family gathering which is normally a challenge but our waitress did very well. They provide a tasting tray of the beers they produce which all liked some or all of the types although the blond was tops. Had serious rain so the sections of unsurpassed road up to the restaurant was a challenge although they are working to finish the concrete strips

Fresh veg grown on-site. Had an amazing homemade burger, kids had value for money pizzas. Great service from the runners and bar staff. Did the hike with the kids, was awesome! All round the best experience in Chintsa.

Popped in for a loadshedding lunchtime pizza and chips and sat around the lovely fire they had going inside. Emeraldvale has a huge undercover outside seating area and play area for kids. Stunning extension to their bar area, giving a lot more space for ordering.

This is an awesome place to have locally made beer & their food is delicious!

We stopped here for lunch while on a family vacation. The setting is gorgeous and it's a nice place. Their menuu has plenty on offer for the average person, but there was very little for me to eat on the menu as I don't eat meat and am lactose intolerant, the fish I ate was good, albeit a little on the pricey side. Their beer is great, with a pale ale, an amber ale and a dark ale, I wish they had a Weiss as well. We had a great afternoon there and spent way more than we anticipated

Amazing experience. Food was fantastic. Brewery tour was fun and informative, with beer tasting included. Definitely worth a visit.

Beer and burgers!!! Both excellent. The venue is rustic and superbly laid back. Good vegetarian choices (your vegetarians will make funny happy vegetarian noises here) so bring your vegetarian!

The best place, friendly people 💯 great food, best of friends and great fellowship and only a pleasure to visit there...and even my yorkie Chico is welcome there...check it out 😘🥰

Excellent.

Food excellent.

Great beer. Great food.... love the place.

Great afternoon at Emerald Vale on Sunday.

Great walking and cycling trails and of course great beer

Everything was excellent but the so called "greek" salad is not actual greek salad, just fyi the greek salad doesn't have lettuce...

Pity no lockdown beer. Awesome burgers and lekker steak.

Great, relaxed atmosphere. Good food and the best thing..... The beer,

Large covered deck restaurant. Fantastic Eisbein, but you need to order it ahead of time. Large selection of delicious burgers.

Amazing place for young and old. Plenty of things to explore for kids at the playground. Beer tastings and tour through the brewery are offered to see and understand how it is made. Amazing food and service. Owners driven and very friendly and welcoming environment.

Had a very nice cold IPA and shared a great pizza. Going to head back when I have more time to try some of the other beers on tap. Selection looks tempting.

This place has lovely surroundings with a beautiful view. The atmosphere was really good, and the staff were very friendly and very helpful. They have both an outdoor and indoor play area for children, however the indoor play area could do with a little sprucing. Service was good, though there was a ridiculously long wait for the food. That being said the food was really good, one of the best burgers around. Thick juicy patties no shyness with the meat, well cooked. We had the Cheese Burger and the Bacon Mushroom Burger, i would personally recommend the Cheese Burger the taste was just too good, secret sauce. Plus is they have lovely select of beer on tap, with brewed ice tea and a gin and tonic on tap.

Really lovely, food was excellent, we ordered fish and prawns was fresh and cooked perfectly. We will be back soon.

Absolutely love love this place!! Must best in the Top 3 burgers I've had in my life and they have life saving ice cold beer as well!! Chris will make sure that the time you spend here is worth your while..if you lucky you might even get a private tour of the brewing process! Great food, great beer, awesome vibe!! Absolute must!!

Beautiful area. Love the play area for the kids. Amazing food!

Situated in a beautiful location, had an excellent well priced lunch. Good food pleasant service.

What a stunning venue, inside and out and we were thrilled that when we enquired, that we could take our Cocker Spaniel along with us. Lovely food and wine and was just a great afternoon out. Friendly staff too!

Wonderful atmosphere. Self service for drinks can be a bit tiresome.

Most enjoyable

Amazing food, amasing admosphere highly recommended. Friendly people that has a passion for what they do.

Lovely atmosphere and great food

Food is absolutely amazing!

A lovely place to visit. I wish them all the best in these difficult times. Their food is outstanding.

Self service- Challenging when you are also trying to watch kids. Nice setting. Good play spaces for the kids, inside and outside options.

Great place great food friendly people we had a great time.

Food was delicious. Service was great, location was even better.

Delicious craft beer and tasty food. A must visit when in Cintsa!!

I love this Brewery. They have great craft beer and one gin on tap. Lots of parking. Note you have to drive in a well maintained gravel road. They also close early at night so go for lunch or early dinner.
