Grasshopper Roadhouse
(1 review)
A roadhouse in a 19th century buttery. Sounds like it should be in a quaint ye olde English…read morevillage, instead it's located at the entrance to the Clare Valley. And with a debonaire looking grasshopper as its namesake, it could be a place straight out of Wind In The Willows. The Grasshopper Roadhouse is one of those places that you feel has been there forever. I remember passing it many times travelling from Clare to Adelaide as a kid. And now I can show it off to my own daughter. Apparently it was named after it's sister business, The Grasshopper Inn, in the UK. And I suppose a roadhouse is the modern equivalent to those old English inns. Unfortunately you won't be able to order a pint of ale to go with your slab of stilton, but you are able to get a decent coffee and Pine-Lime Splice ice-cream (if that's your bag - and when you're 5 years old, it generally is). They also proclaim to have a big all day brekkie, hamburgers and the usual roadhouse fare. You can also fuel up while you're there. There is the option of sitting inside and taking in the general quaintness of the stone building, or you can sit outside at the hewn stone picnic table and chairs. Although on a particularly sunny day, with minimal shade, it may leave you feeling a little on the cooked side. Coming into the so-called 'silly season', it's important to stop, revive, survive. What better way to do that, than in true Ratty and Mole style at the Grasshopper Roadhouse.
Tarlee Hotel
Well, we were on our way back from Burra, and the last couple of towns that we had passed through,…read morewhile they did have pubs in them, they weren't really open, so we arrived in Tarlee, which did have a pub, that was also open. Look, I wouldn't expect anything all that fancy from this place, but as a country pub it is pretty good. The staff were quite friendly, and yeah, the the beef schnitzel, yeah that was awesome.

Great location! Nice little cottage real shame the fires not open type and it has eighties spa…read moreinstead of cast iron bath and a lot of eighties fit out (but underneath it is a genuine old cottage). Not as quite good as website depicts. However, location and availability is the key! I would still highly recommend it.

Well, okay, it does happen to be…read morein a town, so I can't necessarily say that it is in the middle of the country, though this town does happen to be rather small. The pub itself was okay, and it was sort of what I would expect from a country pub. The service was good, and it was clear that a number of regulars happened to be there as well. Mind you, after having visiting numerous such pubs, I have come to the conclusion that being a rather chatty bartender is a compulsory requirement for running such a pub.

Okay, being a country pub I wouldn't expect a huge selection of beers on tap, and they certainly don't have that, however I found that the service was quite good, and that atmosphere quite relaxing as well. There was even a rather nice beer garden down the side, which also added to the atmosphere of the place. Sure, it wasn't too crowded, but that sort of did have something to do with it being mid-afternoon. Still, it was a nice pub nonetheless.
We eat here a lot and almost always have a great time…read more The owners are very active within the but and the chef, Derek, is the owners son so cares about quality and variety of food. They menu changes every now and again but they always make sure to have at least one vegetarian meal on there. Husband informs me that the schnitzels are almost always moist and yummy this time no difference. We love the beer battered fries which are moreish and delectable! I have the sweet potato fries and a haloumi stack. Some days they have salad and veg bar and some days you pick salad or veg with your meal. Dessert was a Belgian chocolate cup which for $5 was amazing! They do takeaway as well which we take advantage of too. We will continue coming back her for many more years to come.

Still, as a pub, it did have some charm about it, though in a way, it still felt a little tacky, particularly for my tastes. Honestly, in the end, it is a reasonable one to go and have a beer at though, even though the service was somewhat passable.
We have eaten here many times but tonight we did a take away order…read more The wait time was minimal but the variety on the menu was not good for a vegetarian - but still pleased that they had three options. I went for a serve of spring rolls with veggies and hubby had his stock standard schnitzel with veggies. They came in your normal styrofoam takeaway boxes. Spring rolls were yummy if a little soggy and the sour cream to go with them was an odd selection. The reason they have lost a star is - riddle me this? If you are preparing a vegetarian meal - why oh why would you put bacon in the potatoes? I ate half of the potatoes before I noticed too so I may be stuck on the toilet tomorrow! Luckily I don't think I actually ate any bacon. I'm a little annoyed but the sheer quantity of the rest of the food more than made up for it.

Still, as a pub it was pretty good, and the service wasn't bad at all. In fact I found that he was really helpful. Like, yeah, it really isn't one of those pubs that I'd visit again in a hurry, but it was still pretty nice.

Okay, that probably had something to do with it being rather quiet, but I have to admit that I love wandering into these pubs where you end up just spending your time chatting away with the guy behind the counter, especially if you happen to be a stranger. Yeah, despite the limited beers, this place was amazing.

Then…read moreagain, the main reason that I visited this pub was so that I could mark it off my list of pubs that I have had a beer in, and with Adelaide, these pubs are starting to get further and further afield. So, like a country pub, don't expect too much from this place, but it does have a nice atmosphere about though, and the service was good. I guess it has a lot to do with it catering to the local populace, since not many other people pass through here I suspect.
The service in this place turned out to be rather good, but then again this is sort of something…read morethat I have come to expect from a lot of these country pubs. The town itself is rather quiet, as was the pub, which was something that I certainly did appreciate. However, the beer selection was somewhat limited, but once again, this was one of those things that I have also sort of come to expect as well. However, as a pub, yeah. This place did happen to be rather nice.

There are quite often events or live music of some kind on weekends. The bar area is fairly small but it's cozy and fun. The outside area is big and great for events etc. We had boo's christening after party in the outside area. They set up big tables for us and we filled the area. While they are happy to change items on the menu to fit it would be great if they could work on adding more items to the menu that are vegetarian. Food and drink are reasonable priced. Some of my friends did complain that service was a bit grumpy and rude (but probably the large amount of people we had in our party contributed to that) which was a bit embarrassing for us as we had gone on about how friendly they are. On other times when we have gone for tea etc they are lovely and friendly.

However, it is also one of those country pubs that just happens to be located out in one of the small towns on the approach to Clare. In a way this place probably shouldn't have had a bit more charm than it did, but it really was the service that put me off. Yeah, I wasn't all that thrilled with it.

Well, whoever wrote that guide should consider rewriting it - at least in what concerns restaurants. The Magpie and Stump Hotel was the only place that was open in the whole town, it was probably also the only place where we saw lights or any sign of life. Walking in, you feel like you've been transferred back into time. Seriously. We walked in and my first thought was 'Where the hell am I here?'. The place looks old and outdated, yet somehow charming because it's very different to what you'd expect. They serve traditional pub food and the only other people in there had the same food as we did: pie. You can't go wrong with pie. It was good and they have a large selection of beer and wines. Would I go back? Well, it was truly a unique experience but, unless I'd be stuck in Mintaro, I don't really see a reason to drive into the middle of nowhere just to enjoy something I could have pretty much anywhere else.
