It came in an oven pot obviously all baked together and it was more like a sweet, thick pumpkin soup with a few gnocchi pieces. Very rich and a bit bland. My husband had the steak special which he said was nice. My mum has the eggplant which again she said was nice but too small. For dessert we had brûlée and the brownie special. Again both so sweet! And I normally love dessert so all in all. It was average and I probably wouldn't rush back.

Well, not all of the pub is like that, since the bar wasn't as great as some that I have been to, though they do have some pretty decent beers available, which sort of made me forget all about that.

The Edinburgh Hotel has stunning outdoor seating, a lovely and varied menu and helpful staff…read more Situated on Main Street in Mitcham, the hotel consists of many small bars and rooms, all labeled with large black signs. When I went to there on a Saturday afternoon, I was lucky enough to experience their outdoor seating in the beer garden. The beer garden is located at the northern edge of the hotel/pub. There are many large trees to take shade under and a range of barrels to sit at and enjoy a drink. For the beer garden, they had a window in the main building where you could order drinks. The drinks were well priced. One thing that I found pretty cool was that there was a person collecting beer glasses from tables once people were done. He even wore a shirt that said "glassy" on it. What was even more impressive than the humour with the shirt was the fact that he could carry around 40 glasses stacked up and still open the door to go inside. Some serious talent there! Although I did not end up selecting from their exquisite snack and meal menu for the beer garden, as the event I went to was catered, I managed to have a quick browse of the menu. The meals were around $20 or so, which is pretty good and they all sounded great. I will have to try some of them, the next time I go. As for the food at the catered event, I felt it was quite innovative, favoursome and well presented. The first item I had were sundried tomato and thyme pinwheels. It was a simple bite sized appetizer however the thyme and the sundried tomato paste went well together. The flatbread that held the ingredients together was also not too loose meaning that it could easily be eaten without a plate or napkin. The second appetizer was a Brie and Quince cracker. The watercracker had a thin slice of Brie at the base followed by a small rectangular prism of quince paste. It was a very simple yet effective appetizer. It is a shame I didn't get a photo of that one before I sent it on a one-way journey to my stomach. Appetizer the third was a samosa. It was filled with diced vegetables and was served hot. For this one, I thought ahead and grabbed a napkin and waited a minute for them to cool down. The same could not be said for the other people at the table who endured went straight in and found it to be quite hot indeed. The samosa was served with what appeared to be a chive sauce. The sauce was tasty and complemented the flavor of the samosa and it's spiced vegetable contents quite well. The fourth appetizer was a prawn wrapped in a fancy tempura batter. I am not a big seafood lover however I broke of the tip of the batter and found it to be quite nice. Appetizer number 5 were sausage rolls and mini pasties. And the best part was, they looked like they were made at the hotel and not bought from a supermarket! The worst part was, they ran out by the time they got to me cause most people took two of them (a pastie and a sausage roll each). The sixth and final appetizer was a thin strip of crumbed fish served with tartare sauce. I had a nice sized piece which unfortunately broke when I dipped it in the tartare sauce, however I was fortunately able to savage it. The batter was nice and not too oily. It was well crumbed and the fish was fresh. If these appetizers are anything like the food on the menu, then I will definitely be going back. The surroundings were lovely and it was the perfect spot to spend the afternoon.

In the ye olden days it used to be a traditional stop for those making the treck, but nowadays if you can't hold onto your thirst then you really have a problem.....like me! There isn't too much special about the Halfway, it is just a normal, common Adelaide Pub that caters for the family looking for an inexpensive night out and the pokie punters. One point of interest is that the front bar is seperated from the rest of the establishment by the bottle 'o, which I think promotes a strong family unity.....dad drinks with the boys and mum is out the back with the kids (grandma is on the pokes)! Everyone wins! They, like most pubs, do have weekly specials and functions, with pub poker on Tuesday nights and a 50's/60's band playing every last Friday night of the month.

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.

I'd like to take a photo and keep it as it is now, forever. It's pandemonium when it's busy, which it usually is. I'd say there's seating for up to 500 people, eating elbow-to-elbow in a just-big-enough hall. When a seat becomes available, you've just got to hop in and hope no one spills any hot liquids on you as they try squish behind you while you're eating. An authentic feel, complete with not so nice washrooms, high noise levels and food in a wide variety of vessels. Overall a fun and cheap place to eat.
