One of the bars

This certainly isn't the best pub in Gawler but it is far from being the worst. It is quite large, and has two beer gardens, one adjacent the restaurant and one adjacent the front bar (which opens around 3:00 pm), as well as tables out the front. Like may of the suburban pubs that I have encountered, this one also has pokie machines and a restaurant, though the food is somewhat better than your average pub grub - and they also have stonegrill, where you cook your meat on a ridiculously hot paving stone (which means don't touch it). Oh, and one of the beer gardens is also non-smoking, or at least a large part of it, which means you can eat outside without having to put up with cigarette smoke.

If you regularly drive past the Exchange Murray's BBQ Bar and think "I must try a meal in there",…read moredo so! From the moment you walk in, it's like a world away. With friendly staff greetings and quick courteous service, it immediately meets great expectations. The restaurant has a rustic look and feel. I especially like that with a full restaurant, the noise level is very low. Good choice in back ground music. The meals are amazing and delicious. I had the American Pork Ribs but next time we will have the Murray's Feast. A great selection of local Barossa wines which does real justice to the local area. I gave the the Tasting Paddle a go with a choice of sixteen beers.

Look there are a number of things that one can forgive with regards to a pub, and service is one of…read morethem, especially on a busy day, and another is when the pub does not have a kitchen. However, while I generally let a grumpy bartender have his bad day (we all have one), I generally do get a little put off people who get defensive after the get your order mixed up (as well as spending time doing other things on a quiet day despite standing at the bar for five minutes waiting to be served). This was a shame because I quite liked the pub it self. There were two nice beer gardens, a Fat Yak craft beer bar, and some cool street art on the outside toilet block. The pub itself is also in one of Gawler's historic buildings, however, despite all of that, I don't see myself coming back here again.

Always a safe bet in Gawler, the Arms provides a family friendly casual restaurant atmosphere…read more One side of the restaurant is Junior-G's, which is a family cafe restaurant with a big playground for the kids and a little playground for the under 3's. During the day you can order normal cafe fare including cakes and coffee, and lunchtime and tea you get to order from the Arms menu. In the Arms side you have an all you can eat salad and dessert bar and a standard casual dining menu. The service is always quick, you never leave full and the staff are always friendly. I have a few gripes, the baby change room is a change table lumped in the disabled loo, which (when the oldies are there for the early bird special) can lead to some awkward exchanges when they try to come into the loo. The all you can eat salad, veg and dessert bar hasn't changed in years. It's very boring to eat the same foods all the time. But other than being boring, it's a very safe easy option in Gawler (No surprises) My last gripe is the lack of a vegetarian option, other than lasagne. When I was vegan there was nothing to eat and as I am gluten free the lasagne isn't good for me either. Luckily I am GF for a seperate dietary issue and can have it in small doses with medication so I had the lasagne.

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.

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.
