However, my opinion has sort of changed over time, and I guess this place really did sort of started to put me off the place. I guess the main reason being that there happened to be a pokies room here. Look, I've met the guy that runs the joint, and to be honest with you, I like him, but I was rather disappointed that the brewery, who no doubt owns the pub, has decided to go down the road of installing gaming lounges in their establishments. Yeah, I really does make me wonder at times. Mind you, the deck is pretty cool, and the service isn't too bad as well, but it was the pokies that basically put me off the place.

In a way it seems to be a more laid back and chilled pub, which is more accustomed to dining as opposed to partying. The front bar was rather small, but still a decent sized, but the bistro was reasonably large. There wasn't a beer garden though, only a smoker's cage out the back, but the certainly did have some outdoor seating out the front. Look, it wasn't too bad, but it was okay, and a nice place to have a beer.

The atmosphere was great and the bar man was polite and friendly. I ordered the pumpkin and olive salad but I changed the pumpkin for avocado and they were more than happy to comply. My friends got the seafood platter and the schnitzel with dianne gravy. They have a salad bar with all meals which was good, unfortunately as happens quite often there was meat in the potato salad. Food was quick and served with a smile. My salad was beautiful - a tad heavy on the olives but beautiful none the less. My friends enjoyed their meals too. I will be back if I am in Moonta again, the price and experience were well worth it.

In fact, what's really cool about this place is that they have proper English beers on tap. Okay, I have to admit that I honestly am not a fan of English beers, namely because I just don't like the way they are made (they tend to taste like flat soft drink), but it is still cool that they have them available, no doubt because it makes me feel like I'm actually in England. Yeah, this place is awesome. Oh, and they have a beer garden as well.

This pub is typical of the Adelaide Hills, offering a nice sized dining area and cozy fireplace near the front bar for the winter. There is something homely about the pub and its staff. I do recommend their speciality "Benny's Ribs" which are sweet with Hoisin sauce and well spiced. This meal comes in different sizes, 3 ribs, 6 ribs or 12 ribs in entree and main size served with crunchy wedges and fancy slaw. These ribs are worth getting messy for! Meals priced $13 - $35, so there is something to suit all budgets. One little surprise at this fine establishment is Benny. While eating my ribs I noticed a little dog walk through the dining area. I absolutely love dogs, and enquiried about him. Especially after seeing him featured on the menu. I was told by the staff that was Benny and is not actually owned by the pub. He is a neighbours dog. Apparently Benny makes his way from the neighbours house around lunch time every day and hangs out at the pub until his owner meets him for a knock off drink and returns home. How cute! This pub is definitely family friendly!

We ordered steak _well done, no blood_ and had to send it back 3 times. Each time it came out raw with blood running across the plate. Staff shrugged and said "steak is cooked with blood coming out, it's natural". Hygiene is non-existent - 0/10. The waitress had her fingers all over the food when she brought the plate out. After all the back-and-forth to the kitchen, we both got sick. It genuinely felt like something was done to the food. The staff stand around gossiping about customers loud enough for everyone to hear. When we raised the issues politely, we were treated like rubbish. To top it off, I received an aggressive, insulting email from the manager/owner saying we are no longer welcome, just for complaining about raw food and poor hygiene. *Food*: Undercooked, unsafe *Service*: Rude, unprofessional, gossipy *Hygiene*: Disgusting - staff touching food *Management*: Hostile and unaccountable Avoid at all costs.
