Visited Saracens for after work Friyay drinks and it was packed which in turn meant it was extremely acoustic and noisy.. a few footy goers along with many other after work groups. We seen an antipasto platter come out and it looked great so we had to have one! Was okay but probably looked better than it tasted, the arancini balls were the best part. For dins we ordered wood oven pizzas and they were delicious...thin crispy base with refined yet tasty toppings.
Schnitzel was very generous sizing and the pepper sauce was a good consistency. Very nice venue would recommend for anyone who loves quality pub meals.
Been here a few times. We had some pizzas last time that were pretty good. The chips are crispy! Plenty of them and super crunchy!
Pretty poor range of beers on tap with only 1 hoppy beer (thankfully local)
The female staff have always been super-friendly. Really nice! Every one of them lovely.
The male staff should let the females have their shifts or at least learn from them about providing a pleasurable experience. If it's a drag to serve people, learn to wash some dishes.
I like the fit out. Plenty of natural light. Nice beer garden.

Having worked near the Saracens Head Hotel for over 14 years, I (Amanda) have partaken in many group work lunches and after work drinks at this establishment over time. The food has always been your classic pub style fare with the added bonus of the outdoor wood oven, producing a point of difference with this style of pizza over other pubs in the area. Today we were invited to the Saracens Head Hotel to experience the new menu that the new Head Chef has creatively put together. All food and beverages were provided on behalf of the Saracens Head Hotel.

Food was excellent would definitely recommend the food, however the service was terrible. I ordered wings for myself I requested the blue cheese sauce to not be put on the plate due to a serious food allergy. Sure enough it was on the plate, when I asked the server to remove it and explained why it can't be on my plate she said but it is good and the original server hadn't made note of it and walked away.
Saracens Head Hotel is a popular and stylish pub located in the Adelaide CBD serving many classic dishes with a contemporary twist. The venue is beautifully understated with exposed brick walls and rich dark wood furnishings. Industrial light fittings and splashes of white paint give the place a modernised touch.
Saracens Head is a pub located on Carrington Street, in the quieter part of the CBD. Set in a double storey character building, customers are greeted by the main bar as you walk through the main entrance. The interior is a clever mix of old and new with a modern dining area that looks into the beer garden. The menu is modern Australian with starters, pizzas, mains and your classic pub grub.
A decent portion of delicious food served quickly.
Wonderfully friendly and helpful staff and an attractive dining area :)
Shared the pan-fried chicken breast on the bone and roasted veg pizza and they were perfect.
The place was good overall. The ambience was pretty decent. The pizzas were good. We tried the all meat and smoked chicken. Service was not up to the mark though. They can improve on this aspect. Overall a good experience.
Bye bye budgie. Went there last Friday for a farewell. Can recommend the eye fillet. Eighty of us turning up did not overwhelm the staff (we pre-ordered) and everyone was fed and watered. Compared to what passes in Adelaide for pub service, high recommended.
The tie up with the hot chicken project is amazing! Went to grab some chicken and a few beers, solid tap selection and the inclusion of zero alcohol beer on tap is nice. Friendly service.
As to the chicken, hands down one of the best chicken burgers I’ve ever had (crispy skin one). hHeat level is a bit oversold, had a few ‘evil’ tenders and they were more than manageable.
Very enjoyable street party at the Saracens Head with live music and a variety of craft beers, gin and rum. There wasn't any cider, which was a shame, but the chicken was great and the fries were crispy and well seasons. They have converted the pokies room into a proper gaming room with 2 pool tables, pinball and arcade games - much more family friendly.
Having had The Hot Chicken Project many times in Geelong I went with a lot of excitement and was hyping it up to my friends and I wasn’t disappointed. The HCP pop is just as good as in Geelong, the fried chicken i juicy, tender and full of flavour. The spices are spot on and taste e exactly as I know it. It really is great to see there has been nothing skipped including the menu and the baskets you eat from. Speaking to one of the staff members I found out of the chefs were over from Geelong ensuring the quality of the product! Certainly not something I would have every week (even though I could easily!) I will be making a few visits and hope it can stay around for a lot longer!!
Great fried chicken! Tasty, juicy, crispy, everything you want in a fried chicken. Plus pickles!
Very cool and modern looking pub. the Saracens head has a very nice selection of beer. The male toilets were flooded but I'm sure that's not a regular thing. Unless that's part of an upcoming pool feature? Great for a pint in a laid back atmosphere.
