The menu is quite extensive for a hotel and the food we ordered was very promptly brought to our table. Delicious. Quite a nice wine list. The ambience in the dining room is very pleasant. Staff are all helpful,pleasant and knowledgable. Two good parking areas on either side of premises which is a huge bonus
Helpful and friendly staff. Had a great time at the salad bar which had a fantastic selection of salad-y things so would go back for more of that
Celebrated Mother In Laws 85th Birthday with the family.
Ordered two fish and chips, one barramundi, one small beef and one huge chicken schnitzel.
Prior to coming read the reviews on Zomato and would have to says we were a bit intrepid about coming to the Earl after reading them.
How wrong they were - everyone really enjoyed their meals, so much so that comments such as “best ever battered fish” were made. The large chicken schnitzel was huge but moist and cooked to perfection and chips were tasty. Check the photo - size comparison is the butter sachet next to the plate.
Salad bar was excellent with standouts being the capsicum, artichokes, olives, quinoa, and pumpkin - so tasty.
Service was friendly and prompt but not in your face.
Meals were definitely value for money.
I would have no hesitation recommending the Earl of Leicester for a decent pub meal.
We came here for the Wednesday quiz night so we enjoyed our meals in the front bar. The meals came a little slow but considering the amount of orders the kitchen did well. The food was yummy, your typical no fuss pub grub.
Visited recently for a quick meal and decided we couldn't go past the schnitzel for dinner. The portion was more than adequate even though I chose the small size and it was tasty, as was the mushroom sauce I decide to have with it. The side salad was nice too with olive, feta and radish but the chips were ok and not overly crunchy. Prices on the higher end but the lovely warm wood open fire that was burning and the cosy, warm charm of the place helped me look past this. Popular with locals, book early to avoid not getting a table.

Tasty Schnitzels. I have come to this restaurant frequently. My friends love the schnitzels here so I always tag along with them.
Great atmosphere, the staff are really polite and helpful. Also restaurant has two separate dining places. One at the pub side and in the bistro side. Normally we eat at the pub but this time we were at the bistro which was a good choice. Because it does cramped in the pub side of it and if your coming with a large group of friends you should be at the bistro because it's a large space that can accommodate everyone. But if your coming in 3's or 4's, dining at the pub side is alright.
Now onto the schnitzels. It's a no brainer that I only come for the schnitzels here at this restaurant. They are known for excellent quality schnitzels here. And yes they do not disappoint! I always go for the 600g schnitzels since I have got a big appetite. They come in 300g as well for the light eaters. The flavours I have tried are the Italian and Chorizo on Top of the Schnitzels. Both are excellent flavours in taste and quality. You feel very satisfied at the end of it.
But beware, if it's a crowded house your order will take time. I knows ours took a while but we didn't wait for as long as we thought we would. The only negative I would say is the price for the schnitzels are a bit expensive. I can go to another pub place and still get a 600g schnitzel for cheap. But if your willing to pay a bit extra and won't mind about the money then this place is for you to get a great quality schnitzel with delicious toppings.
Overall - 8/10
Go for the schnitzels. Went for lunch, huge servings,nicely crumbed,not oily all hot and fresh,partner got the ribs and they were ok,salad bar nice and fresh,would go back for the schnitzels for sure.Gravys and toppings were good too.

Quality pub food. The serves are enormous at the Earl of Leicester and importantly the food is also of a great standard. I enjoyed the porterhouse steak with a side of mushroom sauce and vegetables. If I was to have one gripe with the evening, this is the first pub I have ever been to that wouldn't let me substitute chips for vegetables so I had to pay extra to have vegetables and no chips. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed my steak and the remainder of the table also enjoyed their dishes (several enormous parmigiana's were eaten!). In terms of the ambience I would say that the bistro is a little bit dated (carpet needs to be replaced) but it's so busy in there you barely notice. I may return next time I am in Adelaide.
Schnittylicious!!!. Love the schnitzels that these guys pump out. I've been coming here for the passed 5 years and I'll continue to come back. Bloody good!
Fantastic chicken Parmi, I come back time and time again. The price is very good as you only have to pay an extra 3 dollars and you get a large and trust me to say a large is worth it. I highly recommended this place for any night of the week!
Have always wanted to go to the Earl.
You won't be disappointed.
Fantastic place.
Cozy. Burgers were excellent. Service was great. Really glad we dropped in. We will definitely be back. Plenty of different beers to try.
A great day 🍺🍺🙂
Always enjoyed food here but haven't been for around a year. The 600gm chicken schnitzel is epic, but make sure you choose one of the various toppings - can highly recommend the sweet chilli. Pizza is great, wings are great but would have liked more sauce (Korean style is best when they are drenched in sauce but these were dry with a small amount of dipping sauce). The desserts are all lovely as well.
Nice 600g beef Schnitty with meat lovers topping!!! And yes I ate the lettuce🤭 was full after this one. Washed it down with a couple beers.
Mrs had the barramundi which was nice also.
Busy place on Friday night which is always a good sign if there are plenty of people around.
Great diverse menu, would recommend a feed here in the back streets of Parkside.
Crunchiest onion rings. Love them. The entree garlic bread was also tasty and very crunchy. 600g Schnitzel was less crunchy but still tasty. Paired with a yummy mushroom sauce. Fries were really addictive and crunchy too. They fry things up well here. Decent portion as well. Definitely can share between 2. Buffalo wings were also crunchy and the aioli sauce was the bomb
I'm a local and eat here two or three times a year. It's a lovely old English style pub that had a welcoming open fire when I arrived earlier on this chilly autumn evening. I had an eye fillet steak which was a bit chewier than usual but otherwise very tasty. My desert was excellent and the plaxce offers a good range of beers and wines. Built some 170 years ago this is a relatively small, stone-walled pub comprising several rooms on different levels. Recommended.
Great traditional English pub with friendly atmosphere and a roaring fireplace. Food was brilliant, but would avoid the schnitzel - was too dry. Bit tricky to get a drink at the long bar, but selection was worth the wait.
A great spot for Sunday roast. The Yorkshire pudding was perfect and not dry. We had one of each meat and they were all good but pork was the best. Make a booking if you want to sit in the quiet dining room but the atmosphere by the fire in the bar is better.
