I went to a friends birthday dinner tonight, all the food was ok but the kids chicken nuggets came out after all the adults have received theirs, I had to ask 3 time for the kids meal's because they wanted to eat as well.
Staff didn't seem to care or even say sorry. Not going back in a hurry

I must say I was quite disappointed with your Wednesday buffet. What promised to be Tastes of the World or similar, ended up being a very sad selection of poorly made dishes of which you could get a better presentation at a shopping mall cafeteria.
Cleaning up the area throughout the night might make it look a bit better as their were food spills everywhere.
The waitress carrying out the new plates, carried them against her chest!!!
We drove down from the mid north to try out what promised to be a great night. We certainly will not be back and we will let other know not to bother. It's a shame because it wouldn't take much to make it excellent

We drive from Whyalla regularly to Gawler for medical reasons. We love to go to the Southern for a good meal the first day as we are tired after the drive. However this time the experience was terrible. When ordering the girl transposed the amount. We paid cash and she couldn't work out how much change to give. Waited 1 1/2 hours for our meals. Take away seemed to be priority. Ordered drinks and they had to go get more glasses. Everyone was running around so disorganised. Had to ask 3 times where our meal was. We arrived at 6.05 pm. Sorry we won't be back. Always loved coming to this hotel.

Great experience. We went on Schnitzel Wednesday where they had schnitzels for $14 before toppings. The schnitzel was big and was served with a good selection of mash and vegetables. The service was very friendly and quick. It was reasonably quiet being a Wednesday night with plenty of tables available. Toilets are good and clean. There is a big gaming area but you can't hear it in the dining room area. Nice decor in the hotel as well and a good size car park outside.

First time my family have been here in 5 years, reason being is food was just ok and it appeared most went for the salad bar etc.

We came tonight with some friends who visit here every 2 to 4 weeks.

We arrived at the start of dinner service to find the floors filthy smeared with chocolate cake and icing, chips and food crumbs.

Also crumbs of cake and food on the table.

When ordering, I was told there was no Apple juice for our daughter, however upon sitting down there were many on the other side of the bar.

Some of the staff were amazing, others stuck up.

5 pieces of bread and butter for 6 people, we had to ask twice for another piece.
2 or so mistakes with our food.

Yep, as suspected food still average and big wait (considering we were the first to order).

When my friend asked for something he often gets for dessert he was told by the lady oh, I don't think we do them, as she pretended to look around, he said you did a few weeks ago when we last came, she said no we havnt done them for years.

Shelves, cupboards and fridges all spare and bare looking, the place clearly hasn't had a good clean in months or years even, kids playground smelled dirty,

Disused salad bar still in place to show you what you can't get any more, as is the formerly self serve iced cream machine which is no longer self serve.

All in all, pretty average experience and a lot of laziness evident.

unfortunate, so much wasted potential.

Great place if you have children . There is a large indoor playground . You can also easily see your child in the playground when seated nearby.
Unfortunately today the food was below average . Our food was cold . The children's food was forgotten . Food came out in dribs and drabs . We were a large table - 17 , however it was not busy in the dining room. Bar service was also slow.
I would still be willing to come back and give the hotel another go, regardless of today.

Tasty and large value meals. Great kids play space and friendly service. This pub would be my go to in Gawler especially if you have young kids. Also kids meals are very generous.

I attended the hotel for my Grandkids twin's birthday party. The children all loved their meals.. Burgers or chicken Nuggets & Chips, s & P Squid with chips & salads. I had a Porterhouse Steak with Salad but I was very hungry, so I was halfway thru before I realised I hadn't taken a photo. The toilets were clean. We were seated near the play room.. There was lots of fun to be had there.. Staff were great, ? ??.. Didn't check the ? ? but I'm sure they have one. Easy ? entry beyond a couple of doors.

The best part was. I had a spaghetti meal the next day.
1)steak was chewy
2)vegetable looked fantastic though called
3)pasta warm and the best on the plate with instant mushroom gravy.
Go a meal over $30.00dollars very disappointing.
Comment the chef had a day off, not an excuse for poor cooked food. ?

Not a big fan of the food here in the last few times I've been here I've been served raw chips burnt salmon soggy squid and fish that was oil logged.
The chicken burger was tasty same with the beef brisket.
I also feel the menu needs some salad options

After a lovely drive from Woodside to Gawler it was a great place to stop and have lunch. The service was speedy and friendly, the meals were very generous and delicious. 4 happy customers, I recommend trying the Beef Parmigiana so delicious. The prices are very reasonable. I will certainly go back when next in town.
