Reviews
The Publicans Pub !!
We make an annual pilgrimage to the Kentish every year when the Cricket is on and it never disappoints. Family owned and run, they have mastered good service, great food and the art of making people feel special. Menu has been constructed to cater for those who are up for a big meal and also those who just want a share plate while they have a few wines. Beautiful building with lots of history has been tastefully furnished to allow lots of seperate areas where you can have privacy and quiet conversation. Caters to big bookings well with the rear "Barn Like" area, and smaller groups in the restaurant. Already looking forward to our return next year. (Mia was outstanding, Ryan needs to pay her more).
Ordered a seafood mixed grill. The fish sticks - battered around the plastic wrapping on them. No manager to be seen. Staff lovely. Father's day lunch ruined by plastic. I could not continue my meal. Staff apologised and refunded just the meal???? This destroyed the rest of the meal. Where was the manager to explain the plastic wrapping???
This pub just gets better and better. Great selection of beers and what great food too.
I like the QR ordering system, innovative!
I can't recommend this place enough... date night for myself and hubby to be.. and it was our first ever time here.
As soon as we walked in, there was a welcoming vibe and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful from the moment we entered. The dining room was timeless and modern, we loved the gin bottle decor, we then checked out the beer garden and it looked amazing. Can't wait to have a drink out there at some stage.
The meals were tasty, beef schnitzel and chicken schnitzel were ordered and we honestly couldn't fault a thing.
My birthday is in a couple weeks and we will be attending again with some friends in tow.
Our date nights are rare, but this place made it memorable...
Overall was excellent, staff were great, perfect breeze outside and surprisingly first ever time out at a restaurant with a blackout for a short time. Food was great and first restaurant non Asian that can make dumplings well. Keep up the good work.. :)
It is an iconic pub of Adelaide. The bar people are great with their quick, friendly service. The kitchen is scary 😨. We were seated close to the kitchen, and the floor staff were frantic. Lots of yelling and floor staff running around with meals. Our meals came out promptly, and they looked good. After having a sneak peak through an open door, I was horrified with the state of the benches and floor. Absolute mess with rubbish and food all over the place. It has placed uncertainty about whether to eat there again.
Wow, what a hidden gem 💎 of a hotel. Stunning dining and atmosphere coupled with brilliant customer service and smiling staff.
Visited for a birthday dinner last night so went back for lunch today.
The salmon is epic and recommended by the waitress was the beef vindaloo.
Today we had three taste plates being the pork and chive dumplings, the chicken stay and the Korean spicy chicken wings.
Lastly do not go past their in-house Kentish shiraz
Love the location in the early afternoon, quiet and relaxing, food was very enjoyable
