Today I had the deconstructed tofu salad bowl, it was absolutely amazing. The staff are always so pleasant and accommodating and I just love it there. I would recommend this place to anyone, the new owners have certainly made some lovely new improvements. Thank you
This is the best pub in Adelaide as far as I am concerned. Good food - good ambience - friendly staff (look for Gareth or Amy) - fair prices. Let's hope the tradition continues under new owners. Special thanks to RS.
Loved it here! The staff were all super friendly and the food was quite literally the best!! My salmon was cooked perfectly and the flavour was spot on! We ordered the arancini balls and garlic bread which I highly recommend!! Look anything you order you won’t be disappointed with! 😊😊
I don't think I have ever been disappointed when visiting The British. Food is always above average as is the service. The pub has its old world charms and doesn't feel like you are actually so close to the city centre. More feels like an old coutry style hotel.
You have the option of cooking your own steaks on the grill in the bistro area, though I think you are penalised too greatly in the wallet area if you actually want the kitchen to do their job and cook it for you. But it wont stop me visiting The British.
A nice pub meal; fish in beer batter. Whilst I would not normally order this, I did on a recommendation from the waitress. She told me it was nice, and she was right! It was served with chips & salad; a perfect lunch!
I have not really ever been one to go out alone but I found myself at the British hotel alone after being stood up, I was very impressed with the place, I felt at home and the staff were friendly.
Food was great.
Might go out alone more often.
Thanks British hotel 👌🏼
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.
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...
Came here with all my mates for the TDU (as usual), we always stop here for a meal. Very consistent with the monster steaks but they need some more ommphf. Cheap steak no real extras or sides but it is well priced. Wines are nice. Get stuck in....

Attending a farewell dinner at The British, it has been over 30 years since my last visit and after dining there not sure why it took so long to go back there.
The dining area at the back is nice, plenty of room and for a cold night it was reasonably warm.
They still offer the ability to cook your own meat but only three people did for the evening (BBQ area was very clean).
Started with a tapas sharing plate that had a good selection from some very tasty calamari to aranchini balls that very terrible. All in all a good starter though.
Followed this with the aged rump steak, an after overlooked cut but for me possibly my favourite. Asked for medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. Also has the rocket and apple salad and it was very good.
Staff were nice, there was some confusion over our order (10 people at the table) which resulted in one meal arriving after most had finished, a real first world issue for me.
In summary a reasonably priced meal (especially with the entertainment card) that was of a decent size and well cooked. Decor good and staff pleasant. Can expect a return visit from me.

A boutique pub, nestled in a quiet location!
Well this incredibly charmed gem is definitely one you shouldn’t miss, but fortunately it is a bit of a secret. NOT for much longer.
It’s menu is seasonal and forever changing, it’s mostly mistaken for as a pub where the locals go. However I stumbled across it a few years ago and it’s definitely one of the most high end pubs I have ever been to! It’s more of a gourmet specialty pub! The service is never short of fantastic and the food is always cooked to perfection topped with Love and delivered with a smile.
How is this all possible well I guess the secrets out go see for yourself:)
Having now dined twice at The British, North Adelaide in recent months I'd have to say we've been happy on both occasions. Beautifully cooked steaks served with chat potatoes and side serve of deliciously fresh steamed veg. On both occasions the service has been friendly and efficient. We'll definitely be back.
Had dinner here, really nice atmosphere and delicious food. My wife got the grilled chicken breast which she really enjoyed. I had the Beef and Mushroom pie. This was one of the best pies I’ve ever had, so yummy! Would definitely come back.
Really enjoyed our work Melbourne cup lunch. The pub looks great and they serve delicious food. I had the kangaroo, they cooked it the way I wanted.
Had a wonderful lunch with friends. The share platter was fantastic with house made pork pie, pate and relish. All our main meals were excellent and the service was friendly and efficient. A bit dearer than your average pub meal but well worth the cost.
We had an okay dining experience at the British Hotel. Slow serving but it may have been a once off. Sides with the steak incorrect as well as the level of cooking for the meat. Nevertheless, still a good meal
What a lovely little hidden away pub. The France barman was lovely. We had a really enjoyable experience and felt at home
Good pub food and good variety to choose from. Wine and beverage list offers sufficient choices. Prices are up there for food and drink. Atmosphere is pleasant, not too noisy. Staff were friendly, service was slow though.
The staff were very friendly, helpful and kind. The food prices and drink prices are higher than I would expect.
The atmosphere in the bar area is slightly similar to a traditional British pub, with open fires etc.
The on tap beers are pretty much all local with the exception of Heineken, they are good quality.
The food is average and appears to be microwaved so in essence very similar to a lot of Wetherspoon pubs in the UK.
All in all I would visit again but just for a few beers
Great place, good environment, great beers and nice staff ☺️ 🤙🍻🥂. Just few minutes away from the center and very close to Melbourne street, you can drink inside or outside, both are really nice and very cool. The food is amazing, specially the schnitzel, good options and also have vegetarian meals 🍄 🥔 🍔. Totally recomended 😊 👌.
