Warning: if you're looking for a fine dining experience, keep driving! I stopped by the North Kapunda Hotel, hoping for a culinary delight with some friends, but what I got was a side of attitude and a main course of disappointment.
As I walked in, the grumpy gentleman behind the counter looked at me like I was a ghost he didn't want to acknowledge. He was wearing an old, perished t-shirt that looked like it had been through a war - or at least a few hundred wash cycles. It was so faded and disintegrated that I half expected him to dust off his shoulder and reveal a shoulder pad from the 80s.
I asked where the toilets were and was thrown back when he growled at me 'They're where they've always been.' I'd never been there before, so that wasn't very helpful. A bit more direction would have been appreciated!
After using the facilities, I returned to the front bar to let them know I had a booking. Big mistake! When I asked if we could choose our seats, he barked, 'NOOOOO!' and told us to sit where he'd put us. I felt like a naughty school kid being sent to the principal's office.
And don't even get me started on the food! The salad was as skimpy as the staff's smiles, the schnitzel crumb was half empty and the sauces were as watery as the service. To top it off, the use of plastic straws was alarming, considering the devastating impact on the environment and innocent creatures like turtles
All in all, If you want a good laugh at the lack of taste for fashion, terrible service and a bad meal, this is the place to go.!!
