The Village Tavern

Worst venue in Adelaide, horrible food, horrible service and not family friendly. The last time we went here my daughter was injured at the venue and she was clearly distressed, the staff didn't offer any assistance or even see if she was okay, just stood behind the bar and whispered to each other.

The time before we waited over an hour for our meal because the cook was having a mental breakdown and couldn't make our food but they didn't let us know untill we went and asked were our food was.

The time before this they didn't even
want to take our order and told us to go and use the app.

This was my local and we went here regularly but I will not be returning.

Disgraceful and its clear profits are all they are interested in.

Our Quizzame group has been supporting the Village Tavern for many, many years but we will NEVER return after the disgraceful display from staff yesterday at out end of year event.
Throughout the year we had collected vouchers and as in previous years, we headed to this establishment for a fun day of drinks, board games and cricket watching.
The bar staff decided to deny us service after a few hours, not because anyone was drunk or unruly (by their own admission) but because they didn't like our noisy table.
The manager cited "responsible service of alcohol" but explicitly told me that no one was out of line. They told us to move to an outside booth and drink water and they might consider serving us later on.
At no stage were any of the group aggressive or disrespectful to bar staff and it was insulting to be treated in this manner.

Collectively, we estimate that we spend about $15,000 per year at the Village. This money will now go elsewhere.

Waited a long time to be seated even longer queuing up to order meal and drinks, when my meal arrived ( salt & pepper squid ) the squid was well over cooked and the chips looked a few days old and were stone cold not worth the money,the reason I think everything takes so long is lack of staff only 3 people to seat customers, take orders food and drink serve meals and clear tables obviously management has not got a clue how to run this place or they simply don't care about customers, would not eat there again.

Omg. Never had worse service. Waited two hours for meal and nothing in the hot servers!!!. People walking out and they didn't seem to care. If you want a night out and on a diet, go to this place. It certainly helps with your diet. You do not get fed for hours. Oh and drinks.... wait at the bar and pot luck if you either get ignored or served.....People all around us were not happy and by they time they got their meal, they ate and ran, as fast as they could. They were ignored by staff when they complain about the wait time. Staff attitude is to say nothing and walk away. Never in my life have I ever seen this service.

We came for dinner on Friday, 16th December 2016, for a mate's birthday. 3 couples and 3 young kids. The adults ordered their meals at 7.45pm ( 3 steak meals, salmon, ceasar salad and calamari meals). Was told there was a 30 to 40min wait. At 9.15pm the meals started to arrive with the last one, the salad arriving at 9.25pm! Thank god they had a good kids area to keep the young ones occupied for the 2 and a bit hours for the adults to get their meals and eat them, seeing it was well and truly after their bed time by the time we were fed. It wasn't that busy! I've been to much busier nights at the Waterloo, Gepps Cross, Mawson Lakes and Para Hills Club/hotels without such a wait!!! We received no updates, not even an offer of a free drink while we waited. The meals were ok but nothing special. We will not waste our time returning again. Para Hills Club and other hotels are better value, without the wait!
