We went on Thursday night which also featured the salad bar! Great value with a meal. We started with the salad, roast vege and pasta selection, got our beautifully crumbed fresh fish and snitizel and finished with the dessert and fruit section of the salad bar. Kids would love it. It was busy so make a booking.

I've stayed in the accommodation and eaten at the Gawler arms several times. Each time the staff are extremely friendly and go out of their way to assist you.
The rooms are very comfortable, clean ,quiet one of the best I've stopped in

The service was outstanding, so much that two of my children said we should leave a tip.
I have never had such amazing kind staff serve me in all of my years. I made them aware of a dairy issue and asked for the dairy free options. I was then approached 3 times at our table to let me know the one I chose had dairy so they swapped it for the non dairy, also asking if fryer cross contamination was ok and just general relatable talk of understanding how difficult it can be when having an allergy or intolerance.
They have set the bar and my kids are comparing against other restaurants. They are dying to go back. We'd night dining and bar staff need a raise to keep them.

The Arms was packed today and the staff were just awesome. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was done with a smile. Big pat on the back for the staff on the floor, they were just amazing, thank you all for a great afternoon.

If I could give this pace 0 stars I would. Horrible service from rude staff, small portion below average not to mention overpriced meals! deposit policy is absurd! Definitely would not recommend, there are numerous places in Gawler with far better service and food. The staff at this place are absolutely appalling to say the least.

It is located in the main street of Gawler. The hotel as a modern feel to it. Good menu choices. Salad, veg, and dessert bar are available to have with your dinner. The hotel rooms have just been built, again modern looking, and have been done very well. The bed is very comfortable. The shower is large with good flowing water. It's definitely worth checking out if in the area.

Kids chicken tenders (3) serve was huge with only a couple chips. My order of Hawaiian chicken was ok, but I got the wrong sides. Ordered chips and got roast potatoes. They completely forgot to bring the drinks. Saving grace was the kids playground.

I do not recommend this pub. I ordered a kids meal (with my partner's full size meal) and the waitress refused to let me have it (I only eat a little bit, I wasn't going to order a big meal - usually I explain to staff who take my order and it's never a problem), then charged me for a full price parmy and when they were pulled up on the mistake the waitress charged with delivering my refund called me deceitful; I told her I was twelve as a lame joke but she was extremely rude. They stuffed up multiple orders on our admittedly large table and tried to not let my sister in law place an order of chips (vegetarian) and just plain forgot about others. It was my partner's grandmother's 80th birthday and it was ruined.
The chips where gross, honestly tasted like dust.

The staff where nice no problem with them but the wait I had for a plate of chips was over half an hour i was 5 to order on a large table and everyone else the large table got all meals before me and there was nothing nice to eat from salad bar . There was no fresh salad or even a selection of steamed vegetables just pumpkin. Very disappointed will not be back again .

Decided to go to Schnitzel Night on Tuesdays at Gawler Arms. Fantastic meal. Well worth it. Husband had Beef Schnitzel with gravy and I had Chicken Schnitzel with Hawaiian Topper. The disappointing part was the vegetables served, very poorly cooked or quality. BUT the size of the Schnitzel certainly made up for it and was perfection! Both types. Chips served was quite good too. We also ordered garlic bread which was perfect too. Thoroughly enjoyed the Schnit! Will definitely go again.

I must say things have definitely gone downhill here. First they jacked up the prices, now they don't have Coca-Cola brand on tap and have moved to Pepsi, they don't provide spare plates for the salad bar in case you need a fresh one, soup is gone and the only thing available for desert was ice cream, with the rest of it wiped out. What used to be one of our favourite places for food sadly is no longer a favourite!

Brilliant food, many, many choices, upper price range for certain days of the week - Friday, Saturday etc, cheaper during the week, but very much worth it. Salad, vegetables and dessert bar, which is delish, especially their ice-cream machine, the ice-cream tastes amazing. Great cake slices, mousse, and puddings etc.. Slightly noisy, but due to the quality and great value for money, it's very popular, and gets busy, which is understandable. We will always return, as it's just so good!

Been there twice recently for birthdays. Poor service. Both times some meals were over an hour late. Don't bother complaining. The woman is so rude, she didn't even bother to check with the kitchen to follow it up. Food overcooked
This used to be a fantastic hotel, but doesn't even deserve the one star rating. We won't be returning. Better competition with friendly, obliging staff elsewhere. Waste of money

The meals were so good everyone at our table loved it. Large buffe salad, veg, soup and dessert. i noticed all the meals were bought out at the same time for everyone id seen including us. Not the cheapest place to eat, but the quality and service made it worth every cent. Id come here again no worries. The staff were very polite and they were under the pump the whole time. We ordered surf n turf steaks, garfish, roast of the day, garlic bread etc.

Not that common anymore, their Thursday night self serve soup, salad, vegetables and desserts buffet was of good quality. Only having that was enough for us!
Bar staff were really friendly and could not have helped us more. Would go back.

We had lunch here yesterday & it was terrible. Was charged $28.50 for eggplant schnitzel. It wasn't crumbed properly or cooked properly so was chewy & hard. Looked like it had been put under a grill to brown the crumbs which didn't cook the eggplant. One piece was purely the end so was nothing but the skin which the crumbs couldn't even stick to. We've been here a few times & it is really hit & miss. The veggie bar was nice. Way overpriced for what was served. Definitely won't be back.

Good food and not too expensive. Was fairly quick, despite being the middle of the lunch rush. It did look very busy, so don't be surprised if it takes a bit long sometimes. Also, my parents love this place so it's gotta be cool ... right?

Went there Saturday night for a family birthday gathering. Bar staff were friendly enough but the kitchen couldn't even manage to produce two meals of the same type at the same time. Food was OK at best. While we have lunched here many times over the years, this will be our final visit for an evening meal.

Nice place with decent food. Very pub and needs a bit of an atmosphere lift up but staff were friendly.

Menu change was impressed for the money. They needed to change it up a bit. Much better having the veg on the side and not so sloppy!

Thank you to Dara and staff for their excellent service on Sunday. My parents were really suprised and commented on how lovely the room was set up. Food was also excellent and the right amount for our guests. Well done to the Giannitto Family on a great venue.

Staff were lovely, place was clean and had a separate area for families and kids, playground to keep kids occupied and were pretty fast with food! Food was amazing! Will definitely be back!

While the play areas for kids are great that is where it stops. The food is over-priced & prepared with very little care. It is presented poorly & tastes bland. The atmosphere is dim & the whole place needs a revamp of interior design & menu.
It is genuinely trying to be the every-day pub but lacks just about everything & seems consumed with catering to it's pokie customers more than anything. Due to Covid the salad, veg & dessert bars have been replaced with a tiny salad & tasteless chips or potato being plated for you while I understand this is necessary I am absolutely certain that they could do better than a tiny pot of rocket & butter lettuce with once slice of tomato & a drizzle of something unknown over the top. This place used to be a buzzing, friendly pub with good wholesome food & service. Now, I am afraid to say it is a pitiful representation of pubs of the 1990's. Disgrace.

Very nice food and nice atmosphere, bit of a wait for the meals to come but with free dessert and salad bars you wont go hungry waiting. Staff were excellent. No complaints.
