Royal Oak

What a disappointment waited and watched tables being served who came in an hour after we were seated after having booked for my party of 11. One member of our groups meal finally arrived after all others in our group had finished their meals. A birthday celebration completely ruined and finally trying to get a night cap drink before leaving was again a waste of time, it was obvious you needed to be a local to get the attention of the bar staff. All in all sadly a totally ruined night out, never again will I subject my family to such poor service, It's really sad to see how this once great pub has deteriated,

Two of our meals took 90 mins to arrive, the other two about 15 minutes later. One of steaks was rare, bordering on blue so had to be sent back and took another 20 mins despite being assured it was being 'prioritised' and was medium-well, not medium-rare as ordered. But the worst part of all was that when booking our table 6 days prior, we told them one of the party was on the autism spectrum so it would be helpful to be placed somewhere quieter if possible. Instead, they put us in literally the loudest location in the entire restaurant. We were told there would be live music starting at 8pm, but it started at 7pm, further affecting our autistic person. There was no reason for this, plenty of other tables we could have been allocated in quieter locations in the restaurant.

Pleasant pub with an older character, well restored. Great place to admire its surrounds. The happy hours have good prices. Great choice with food menu. Restaurant done in 70's theme. The gaming room is very well presented with sitting area to read the paper. Good selection in bottle shop at rear with easy parking. A pub which fits in North Adeliade's older heritage buildings.
