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.

Great UK vibes and food! Lots of stouts on tap and oh my, those pickled eggs are to die for!!read more

Ribs... Ribs ribs... Ribs ribs ribs…read more.. Ok. Now I've got that out of my system... The Stanley Bridge hotel is a picturesque classic Adelaide Hills pub with the best pork ribs you may have ever eaten. Named after the local barfly pooch - Benny the Jack Russell; "Benny's Ribs" as they are called come in meaty quantities of 6, 9 or 12 and are wonderfully grilled with a splashing of hoy sin sauce. You can have the ribs alone if you're on the Atkin's diet or endulge as I do and get the interestingly delectable coleslaw with chunks of apple and big sultanas, and don't forget the potato wedges to soak up the extra hoy sin sauce. Nom nom nom. Look, there are other items on the menu, some of which are great and some which don't hit the spot for me; avoid the pie and chili con carne unless you're a gambler as they can both be hit and miss. My stoic recommendation though, is that if you're a meat eater, try the damn ribs on your first visit. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. I have done 9 on one visit, but had to be removed with a crane. I now stick with the 6 rib serve (I'm trying to watch my weight) and go half coke, half diet coke (for my figure). The beers on tap include a few locals. Last time we were there, bierhaus and vale ale were sitting next to puke inducing west end draught and something else that shouldn't be consumed unless you're down to your last $5. Wine list is great, as is the serenity. They've got buckets of it. To top it off, there's Benny. What a champ. Read Anita D's review to get the whole story.

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. Made us sick and then banned us for speaking up.

Anyway, they had a nice beer on tap, which I certainly did appreciate, and the service wasn't too bad either.

Family friendly up-market pub without the "up-market" prices or snobbery…read more Good quality food with all your favourites on offer - burgers, salads, schnitzels, steaks, pastas, fish, chicken and a handful of daily specials. The staff are always friendly, the order at the counter service is efficient and great for groups (none of that - "I had x,y,z... well who had the a,b,c" messiness that comes with splitting the bill). It can get incredibly busy and bookings are reccommended (even if you just call on the day or when you are on your way in) They host a weekly quiz night and there is a huge members base that participate frequently - a lot of local competition. Highly recommended.

I wouldn't necessarily call it classy, but it has an atmosphere of being a place for semi-special occassions. They have a pretty decent selection of beers, and the surroundings do make you feel as if you were in the English countryside. Mind you, it is pretty popular, and a little pricier than what you would expect.

Appearances can be decieving, although this pub nestled in Coromandel Valley would appear to be an…read moreold relic of the bygone era with its red brick exterior, wide verandah, worn floorboards and huge log fireplaces - but the pub is only a few decades old yet retains the "old" pub feel. As the trend for pubs which look like fancy bars and fancier restaurants continues, its nice to walk into a pub with a solid wooden bar, well worn chesterfields in the front bar and fairly simple wooden tables in the restaurant expect the traditional as well; chicken schnittys, fish and chips - the works. The Duck Inn also has a great range of beers and ciders. Adelaide Hills cider has been on tap here since you could tap their kegs and their local range is superb for a small pub. Like most pubs, the Duck Inn does have pokies, but you can't hear them in the restaurant and the noise level in the bar is minimal. I'd opt for the Duck Inn on a lazy day and to sit in the Front bar next to the fire on the big couches with some beer and chips and spend your day doing not quite a lot.

A friend and myself had the 'surf and turf' with the steak cooked to perfection and the seafood sauce included prawns, octopus and squid in a lovely garlic cream sauce. My friend stated that it was the best seafood sauce he had tasted in a long time. The menu is basic but with some lovely country items like crumbed Camembert with cranberry sauce as an entrée. The wine selection was good with local wines included. With the prices being what you would expect to pay (The Entertainment Book provided a discount voucher). They offer a breakfast menu so that is next on my list to enjoy the morning country view while eating alfresco.
