What the first judges said in 2021
The Iconic Casual Dinning Restaurant Flying Brick in Wallington was warm and inviting and offered attractive views over the vineyard. Its a great place to relax, unwind and enjoy a variety of dishes designed for sharing. There was a good range and local wines and beers (many by the glass and in house) and tasting paddles of Flying Brick Ciders. The tables in the dining room are perfectly spaced and there are comfortable retro couches and soft music playing in the background. Good quality paper napkins and crockery were used. Very civilized and family friendly. The extensive lawns would be lovely for alfresco dining in warmer days and great for active children. Staff were friendly and offered helpful advice and drinking water was served when requested.
