Came here on Saturday 6/7/2024 for dinner I ordered lamb shank it was drowned in red sauce,the…read moresauce was too much. The veggie bar had a good selection. The dessert buffet was very disappointing no desserts ice cream only. For the prices the patrons pay for their meals I'm sure the hotel can afford deserts.

The one difficulty that we were having on our day trip to Gawler was trying to find a pub that…read moreserved good old fashioned pub food. So, as the cut off time of 2:00 pm was approaching we came across this place situated in the middle of the town centre. I have to say that it wasn't the best place to have a meal, especially since the table that we sat at had yet to be cleaned (though they were quite busy). While this place is mostly a restaurant, they do have pokies out the back which does work to detract form the fact that it is a family styled restaurant. As for the food, there were no complaints from my brother (but then again he never complains) however despite requesting that my steak be cooked well done, I still discovered some pink in the middle. Oh, the lunch menu was quite cheap, so that was a bonus.

Well, on my exploration of Gawler one fine December afternoon I came across this pub, so I decided…read moreto step inside for a drink (especially since we had just finished exploring a park known as Dead Man's Pass Reserve). Anyway, I must say that for a pub where you can simply go inside for a drink this place has much to be desired. Okay, it probably isn't a traditional pub since it only has a restaurant and a room dedicated to pokies, and since the restaurant was closed, I decided to sit in the pokies room (which is never a great experience for me). The restaurant is trying to be a family restaurant (since it has some children's play equipment) but that tends to put me off as well because I have never been keen on restaurants and pokies room in the same building. Next time I think I'll give this place a miss.

We visited you last night for my daughter's 6th birthday as it is her favourite place to go. We…read morewill not be coming back. One of the waitresses was rude as they come. Insisted my 80+ year old grandmother stand up to prove a point and stood and waited while she did so. She is unsteady on her feet at the best of times. Not that she shouldve have done it in any case. She also then asked where her husband was - who clearly wasnt present - and then made jokes about how endowed he was with my children at the table, and another elderly woman sitting behind her. She was rude when she brought the meals out and when she was done she finished with *Later Weirdos*. Her whole manner was inappropriate. I work in hospitality and how we were treated last night was not ok. The other waitresses were lovely. Also, despite it being an almost empty restaurant, my mother had to ask to have our plates cleared after waiting a ridiculous amount of time. After choosing your restaurant for a large percentage of our family functions, we will now be going elsewhere and advising friends and family to do the same.

My room was The Shambles on the second floor and literally overlooks the sheep on the sign that…read morefaces the entry into the Shambles. It's a stunning room, very cozy and deeply luxurious with brass accents and chandeliers. But what was the icing on the cake, was being looked after by Lady Alice Packett who not only turned off the TV for me in the middle of the night, but knocked for me to get up after hitting the snooze too many times. Is this a quirky place? Yes. Are the floors and walls lumpy, crooked or awkward to maneuver? Absolutely. If you want charm, originality and feeling well cared for by a ghost, then this is the Inn for you. Just don't leave it messy or rearrange the furniture and you'll be just fine.

It was so good I forgot to photograph my meal before I started eating it!…read more The staff are extremely bubbly and actually seem pretty keen about their job. That's a pretty nice change from most pubs that serve food but the Golden Fleece really appears to be trying to set itself apart from the rest. There was a slight mix up with our reserved table that was given to someone else, (we really didn't mind but the staff did...) so we were given table service at our alternative seating in the bar which I think may not be the usual for this pub more but due to our circumstance. The table service was excellent anyway. We had the potato skin entree, I was dubious about them at first because I've had bad ones before but these were excellent. I had a chicken schnitzel with mushroom gravy. I haven't had a schnitzel in ages and I expect a pub to make a decent one. I wasn't disappointed, the gravy was on point.

I attend the kingsford most Wednesdays for their weekly trivia night…read more It is a great place to have a beer and recent renovations to the bistro/front bar have really modernised this part of the hotel. There is a reasonably large TAB and pokie area but it is nice that it is kept separate from the dining and social areas. Saturday nights there's karaoke in the TAB area and you'll see some "interesting" performances on and off the stage. Food wise the kingsford isn't fantastic... Although there are some highlights. The pizza is probably the best in Gawler and the Oysters Rockefeller (topped with spinach and Parmesan cheese) are really tasty. All in all the Kingsford is a good quiet pub with a good vibe. It's not the type of place you'll spend every Saturday night but it's a nice place to go for a weeknight meal.
