    Meantime is my favorite restaurant in Hamilton -Newcastle, I usually go Tuesday Wednesday nights when trade is a little slower, however there is always more business than one server can handle, Hannah is a great server and Meantime owners should be glad they have her, but there should be 2 servers this close to Christmas.

    Dinner with the girls from work. Friendly staff and food was amazing. Cocktails were so good but the service was not great. Waited a long time for first drinks and mix up with the food. They brought out the main first instead of the entree. After i finished entree had to wait ages for my main meal to come back out. Other than that, my friends and I had a great night.

    I absolutely love that as someone living with Coeliac Disease I have somewhere where I can enjoy a night out with friends and family without concern of the cross contamination of non gluten free products.

    As per usual, a great experience. Food was top notch. The young lady who served us was bubbly, enthusiastic and ever available to assist with what we required ie cocktails, meals and deserts etc. We have eaten here more than a number of times and we have always enjoyed the meal, drinks and personalised attention. A great place for a meal as well as it is all certified Gluten Free.

    Having a wife & daughter who are Coeliac it is an absolute god send to find somewhere like Meantime where they can literally order anything they want. What makes it even better is the quality of the food, the value for money, the ambience of the restaurant & of course the amazing staff. Absolute 5 star experience every time 🥰

    It is always a pleasure to eat at Meantime. It is wonderful to have so many delicious gluten free options, and it is never any trouble for the kitchen to adapt dishes for allergies. The service is good and it is a pleasant environment to meet with friends and family.

    Food was ok. Had no pains afterwards so definitely GF. Got asked if we wanted drinks which we said no. Then asked if we wanted water for the table and said Yes. On getting bill found we were charged $12 for the water. Very deceptive!!. At no time did they indicate the water was a purchase. Also the "still" water was served in a Sparkling Water bottle which indicates it had been filled up from another source (tap I assume). Just add more cost to the night each meal had an extra 5% added to the menu price cost. Don't know why, it was a Wednesday night. Very disappointed

    From the moment we walked in we were greeted with a friendly smile. I was offered a free birthday cocktail which was delicious. The atmosphere is cosy and had a great vibe with music playing in the background. We ordered starters ,mains and a dessert and each one was packed full of flavour and all arrived in a timely manner. The cocktail menu is to die for and the ones we chose were amazing. The fact its 100% gluten free is awesome for coeliacs like myself and it was great being able to plate share. My family said they couldn't even tell what they ate was gluten free. I can't recommend them highly enough and look forward to going back again and again.
