Longstocking Brewery is an independent brewery that serves a range of craft beers and ciders, at Oaklands Barn, in Pambula.
Owner of Longstocking brewery, Peter Caldwell said they saw a need for further personal transportation and decided they'd do it themselves.
"It was difficult for people to get away at the end of a Sunday afternoon, they wanted to get home and couldn't get a cab, so we've just started a limousine service," Mr Caldwell said.
The service has only been running for two weeks and their first customers called up from Merimbula.
"They said it was great and just what they wanted," Mr Caldwell said.
"It's a set fee depending on where you're going and its not exclusive to here, if someone wants to go to another restaurant, that's fine," he said.
Mr Caldwell said they had been asked before why they didn't offer a courtesy bus and said the limousine instead offers a service for people dinning out in the area, to go from Merimbula to Pambula.
"A courtesy bus means that some people can just take no responsibility for their own actions and drink too much, that's not what this is, it's a limousine service," Mr Caldwell said.
The Limousine will travel to Merimbula, Tura, Wolumla and Eden areas, however unlike Taxi services people must book 30 minutes in advance.
The limousine is an eight seater Mercedes and can be booked at the brewery or over the phone by calling: 0459 600 735.
