Attended Christmas in July function. Disappointed in the food and the fact it had nothing to do with Christmas. read more

There are two things that I really like about this pub, the first being the building that looks…read morelike it has been lifted off of some plantation in Louisiana, and the second is the beer garden (but then I tend to like pubs with beer gardens). Okay, it does have the stock standard pokies room (which I try to ignore as much as possible) but they also have live bands playing, which I hope counters that out (but then again, are there any pubs outside of the city that don't have pokie machines?). I've actually been here a few times, namely because it was on my way from from my parents house (when I used to live here) and being one of the better pubs on the route, I would always stop off, sit in the beer garden, and have a drink. Sometimes I would even bring by Dad (not that he is a big fan of pubs).

This hotel has recently been renovated inside out which now has a 60s modern theme throughout. The…read morefood has also had an update, and a little more expensive than prior to the renovation. I had the beef brisket and It was outstanding! A smokey flavour with a rich sauce. They have removed the use of discounts and no longer a salad bar. No real deserts for kids if they want something simple like icecream, and charged me $4 per scoop in a bowl for it. The have a kids play room equipped with TV, Bean bags, electronic games and drawing area. All in all I am impressed and glad that there is a nice place to eat in the northern suburbs however, not sure if many people around the area can afford the higher prices..

Specials had to be ordered at the bar. Waited inline for 15 minutes. When asking for the roast chicken special. Was informed it was no longer available, no sign on counter to advise. Those who managed to order via the QR me&u app received their order within 30 mins. However, those that ordered at the bar didn't receive their order. After 45 minutes of waiting, we flagged down a server and was advised. 'It's probably on its way', then continued away from the kitchen to clear a table. After 10 mins, that server asked the kitchen. Then, 10 mins later, a manager attended our table and advised that the order had not been finalised due to different ordering methods, and the order will be sorted straight away. We waited another 15 mins and watched as others got their orders with the same meals, these orders weren't bumped. A member of our party went and asked for the entrees at least. Then, 5 minutes later, the food appeared. The 2nd round of drinks ordered by app appeared in different glasses, not the same volume as previous glasses. Food tasted great. I feel the staff require basic hospo training and requirements to meet the basics.
Well, after living in Adelaide for years, and even living reasonbly close to this place, I finally…read moregot around to paying it a visit, and my impression was that I hadn't missed out on all that much. This was one of those pubs that people would always talk about, but I never got around to paying it a visit. Okay, they probably have done it up somewhat since I was much younger, but it still didn't stand out from all the other pubs that I have visited in my time. I did quite like the front bar though, which was on two levels, and the beer garden was quite nice, but I doubt I will be going back here again (though who knows, I might just do that).

All the basics covered…read more Walking distance supermarket Aldi & Woolworths. Lake & parks next door for walking. Friendly & helpful staff. Free parking. Nearby restaurants & cafe for food and coffee. Good air conditioning for hot summers day up to 36 degrees. Next door to Uni SA campus. Nearby 24 hour petrol station and diner. Open on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
Yeah, this pub is pretty tacky, but then again it was built in a reasonably new housing development…read more(though it really doesn't seem to be all that new these days). Honestly, there really didn't seem to be all that much charm about this place, just crammed into a rather non-descript building. There really isn't a beer garden here as well. However, it does have a craft beer on tap, so I'll give it some credit for that.
Valley Inn
The Valley Inn can be found in the Adelaide suburb of Hope Valley and in a way I hope the Valley…read moreInn just disappears (or at least has a huge revamp, but I doubt that will save it). Sure, it is a really tacky hotel with over priced drinks and a pretty ordinary restaurant, but I have to say that the vibe was pretty shocking. To describe this place a casual is to give it way too much credit. It is sort of one of those pubs that you would expect a fight to break out any minute, especially during a football match. When I came here the sports bar was packed out, and the only decent place to sit - the veranda out the front, didn't really look all that welcoming. It you are driving down Grand Junction Road and see this place - just drive on, you will be better for it.

There have been only two times that I have been to this pub - once for dinner with friends and once…read moremore recently to have a beer as a reminder of how I really don't think all that much of this place. Well, okay there was another couple of times, but we didn't actually go into the pub, we just went to the bottle shop and that was to grab some drinks for a party we were attending in the local area (and I have to say that the party was much better than the pubs - but then again the host was well known for throwing really cool parties). Anyway, this is your standard suburban pub, nothing fantastic and nothing that would make you want to flip on the indicator and go inside, even if you were driving straight past it (unless you wanted to go to the drive through bottle shop that is). If you don't live in the area then don't bother. If you do, well don't bother either.
This is easily one of the best restaurants I've been to this year; the decor was nice and modern…read morewith lots of greenery and the staff were very friendly! I ordered a lamb shank, which was cooked to absolute perfection and came off the bone nice and easily. The only problem I had was with the parmesan crumb; it was very dry and made the mashed potato inedible because of the crumb being all over it. Overall, this was an amazing experience and I would more than happily return.

The prices were that of a typical pub ($18.50 for a chicken schnitzel, et cetera) and the food was absolutely fantastic. My partner and I both had chicken parmigianas with chips and well, I got vegetables instead of salad and he got salad. My only thing is that it is kinda short-staffed, but honestly, the food was that good, I didn't even really care. I'd go here again, and I'd bring my family too. Thanks for making my 6 month anniversary dinner with my partner a great experience.

I'm writing this on behalf of a friend who is a pensioner & has been coming to the Avoca for years…read more We quiet often catch up for dinner, usually having the salmon which is nice. One night we tried the steak & they were both very tough, Lucy replaced them with the salmon which was very appreciated. Bev has been sick so she thought she would try the steak again thinking it would good for her. Patrick asked the chef for a nice tender piece of steak for Bev. Big mistake, it was tough again, with a big piece of Grissle and fat. the salad was mixed lettuce leaves, no dressing. The chips were nice. My salmon was nice as usual. Bev called Patrick over & told him the steak was tough & showed him the salad. The salad was meant to be Pear & parmesan cheese. We found the tiniest bit of parmesan but I think the pear was still in the tree.only sorry I didn't think to take a photo of Bev's plate. I am Patrick came & told us THE CHEF WASN'T HAPPY. Excuse me he didn't pay $24. for a hand full of chips. There was no refund, no offer of a complimentary coffee or drink. We are extremely disappointed with the service & food & wouldn't recommend The Avoca. Lucy was always lovely and looked after us & it is a shame she doesn't seam to be there anymore. Wake up, the food & service is what keeps people coming back. Sherrie Stehbens

Honestly, I find the pubs in the northern suburbs have a lot more character than the ones down south, which is actually saying something. Okay, this pub is in the middle of an industrial area, so when I wandered around here on a Sunday it was pretty dead - but it was still open, which was interesting. Like many of the suburban pubs it has everything one would expect from such a place. However, I have to admit that it wasn't hugely fantastic.

I must admit I wasn't overly excited when Mum said she had booked us in for a cooking lesson…read more We drove up to the hills and hung around awkwardly waiting for everyone to turn up. But then we started cooking. Everyone had there own little area and jobs to do. We were making about 8 dishes and all of them seemed very complicated! However, this is definitely one of the funnest things I have done. The food was amazing! If I wasn't so lazy I would of re-created all of the dishes numerous times at home. We had cold rolls, spring rolls, the most amazing noodle dish ever created, rice and curry. After cooking each course we got to sit down and eat, while being served generous amounts of wine (I must admit I became quite tipsy!). They offer a range of different cooking classes here, I did Asian Vegetarian, but I know Mum has been back many times to try out others!
Me and my boyfriend were given vouchers for this cooking school last Christmas. As he was…read morepreviously a chef, and I love cooking so this was perfect present considering what we had heard about the school. We chose a session, which are all Asian themed with some Middle East, and we got to cook on the bbq's in the grass huts outside. This was a cool experience and the group all worked together helping out with different aspects. The ingredients are all authentic, some unusual and we do all the work in preparing and cooking as a group. The guide was very informative, demonstrating some things and tailoring the dishes to suit what we wanted. At the end we got to eat all the food which was so amazing and satisfying and there was free wine to accompany it. We chatted with the group and the guide and enjoyed the decorative dining area. Very cool place and something unusual to do with a friend, partner or tourist. Situated in beautiful Stirling, there are plenty of other things to do and see around as well. The classes aren't cheap though, so as much as I'd love to, I can't go to that many that often.
If you like fatty horrible steak, then stay away from here, because this place is fantastic!…read more I have visited the Albion for many years but in recent times they have changed hands and these days it's outstanding I ordered a 400gm Claire valley gold rump, and I've had worse steak from a dedicated steak house, this was very tender, cooked exactly how i ordered (well done) but not over done and ruined as most places seem to think well done means cooked beyond recognition Other orders on the table were a penne carbonara and a mixed grill, Both dishes were also highly rated I did skim over the dessert menu and an Oreo cheesecake did grab my eye, I did see one delivered to another table and it looked very tempting but I passed in lieu of eating a 400gm steak moments earlier
When I arrived in Adelaide over Christmas the first place I visited was this pub, namely because it…read morehad been a year since I had had a decent (or any) Schnitzel, and this pub happens to be on the way (sort of) between my parent's house and the airport. Well, it's actually quite a nice pub, though it is pretty stock standard when it comes to pubs. Basically it is your typical suburban pub - gaming room, restaurant, sports bar - you get the picture. They do have a couple of beer gardens, and one of them is non-smoking (at least when the kitchen is open). The other one is just a plain grassed area. It's an okay pub, but nothing hugely fantastic.
