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.

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.

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.

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.
