We have been here before quite a while ago but thought I would review again.We were there with our adult grandchildren for lunch. While it was very cold outside the enclosed courtyard was warm and cosy with gas heaters . We ordered wedges for starters and our serving lass wandered around the room with them....obviously didn't have any idea of the table numbers. Wedges were fine but a little over cooked. There didn't appear to be table service so eventually we ordered our mains from the counter. Steaks were apparently reasonably good but there seemed to be the feeling that while rump was ordered, the steak did seem too thick for rump...steamed vegetables were uninspiring. The Guinness pie was...
We had a date night at The British and used a 'Split the bill' coupon which means we buy one main course and get the 2nd free......... great deal. it was a relatively busy night, food was good, hubby had lamb curry which was only mild and not medium as listed, i had the lamb shank with carrot, celery & mash but there was not a lot of veg at all...... although the lamb shank was quite large.Taste was good but one of my PET HATES is that you have to pay for sides!! On average $9 per side! If you pay $25 + for a meal INCLUDE the veg!!! Meals are on average $22-$29 which is standard but the drinks for a pub are a bit of a shock! A glass of unknown Sav Blanc was $14 and hubby got a unknow shiraz...
Whilst staying in Adelaide our friends were keen to take us to this traditional pub in a very nice part of North Adelaide. We were seated in the courtyard on a cold & windy evening but warm enough. Both food & wine is ordered separately at different counters. Steak are a specialty & if you are up to it you can grill your own. Our meals were all excellent. Yes service is not the best but more worrying for us was the overcharging at both the alcohol counter & food counter. Not good enough & we trust they were genuine mistakes.
If waiting nearly 1 hour in moderately busy lunch service is acceptable then go for it. No appology for the poor service and rude bar staff it made for a very unpleasant experience. The food was average at best and as mentioned the service needs a brush up. For a pub charging high end restaurant prices it would be a better idea to give them a miss. It was once a great place and always a winner for food. Sadly my last visit. No wonder businesses struggle with behaviour like this.

We headed here on a cold winter night and were lucky enjoy to have a drink by the beautiful open fire which was just lovely. We had dinner in the main dining area at the back of the hotel. I ordered the pork cutlet crusted with sage and served with caramelized apples, purée butter bean and red wine jus. It was super tasty and perfectly cooked. Other mains looked tasty and were generous portion sizes. A nice place for a casual meal on a winters day or night.
Not an experience I'd rave about. Bar staff weren't overly friendly nor was the girl showing us to our table - actually they were all quite rude. Ran out of the food choice we wanted and don't serve standard plain gravy. Meat was over cooked. A very underwhelming dinner. Such a shame as it used to be a great place a few years ago but definitely on the decline now in my opinion. We've eaten here twice in the last two months and both times were disappointing.
Old country pub in the city. Lovely traditional feel with wooden floor boards, fireplaces and classic furniture. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Food was nice :) We had the porcini arancini balls to start which were tasty. For main I had the beef ribs which had beautiful flavour and melted in your mouth but unfortunately my portion contained very little meat...
Unfortunately The British Hotel is always a slight let down when we go however, I continue to persist. The staff are always ultra friendly and accommodating and it is cosy - particularly in winter. But the food always lets it down. on this occasion we stuck to the starter menu and had a tapas plate, the haloumi and the empanadas. Unfortunately not brilliant.

The outdoor seating was lovely and warm, gas heaters, plenty of space and the food was to die food. There was a line up to order dinner and I thought we would be waiting a long time. not at all, The shared entree's were plentiful and the mains lovely. will go here again. it truly is a hidden gem for north Adelaide.
