Aldgate Pump Hotel

This wasn’t the first time I’ve been to this pub. In fact, I ended up here one evening as we were on our way to a camp, though that had more to do with grabbing a drink and catching up on the football scores. Still, as a pub, it is actually rather nice, and they even had beef schnitzel on the menu, which shouldn’t be too much of a surprise when it comes to an Adelaide pub, except that the previous ones we had visited didn’t actually have that option available. Oh, and the service, and nice beers on tap, were also a pleasant addition.

The Pump Hotel has a $15 Senior Menu, available lunch Monday-Friday which includes dessert. We have enjoyed lunch on two or three occasions. The menu offers a good variety of dishes, from roast of the day, two seperate fish plates, plus a couple of other dishes. With the best sticky date dessert I have enjoyed for some time. The dining area is very comfortable, clean and tidy. This would have to be excellent value for a senior living or visiting the Adelaide Hills, Aldgate.

Historic country Hotel in charming Aldgate Village." The Aldgate Pump Hotel, is named after a water well in the main street opposite the hotel. Installed by the then proprietor in 1864. The Aldgate Pump Hotel has a new proprietor which has made a huge difference. The hotel has had an expensive upgrade, from the kitchen through to their alfresco dining. We enjoyed a coffee with a very nice duck pate, accompanied with fresh made flat bread. The menu has some very nice dishes on offer. We shall return for dinner soon.

Atmosphere is lovely and the beergarden is perfect for that sunny day. A little dissapointed with the salt & pepper squid for the taste and cost but in saying that it is pretty spot on with the rest of the menu.
