Unfortunately Rusty you have the Redbacks emblem on your signatory so I'm not sure if I can trust you ;) You may be have been spoilt by mediocrity


Just means I'm used to mediocre being the norm so I was expecting to be left disappointed so when something stands out like this place did, it's worth talking about!

Went to the VIP opening of the new Kent Town Hotel last night and it was an amazing taste experience. The new menu and theme is brilliant.It is a completely different dining experience.

I tried all the meats off the rotisserie and they are melt in your mouth magnificent. The whole overhaul and 5 million in renovations is set to turn the KTH into one of Adelaide premiere gourmet eateries.

It is the old Tapp Inn, building went into receivership in 2013. It's back bigger and better than ever.

As it is open to the public today I can confirm that is true.

It's got a jungle section with slides, private huts and an enormous kitchen that serves an all new menu. I assume full details will be online soon. The rooftop bar is awesome also. The whole place is like a giant adventure. Life size gorilla, elephant and pretty cool lighting and decor.

Down at Pt Elliot for the weekend with my lil fella.
Highly recommend Cockles Cafe for breakfast.
Food, coffee and service all great and didn't bat an eyelid when I asked for a soy babycino twice.

from The Australian

Not every restaurateur is in a position, of course, to do what ­Adelaide’s Tom Hannah is promising for the impending relaunch of the Kent Town Hotel as a multi-function fun parlour complete with separate Jungle Restaurant — think 80m bridge, four tree houses, rock-faced water feature, kids’ play station cave and, in another area, a slide from the rooftop to the ground floor. (We hear the food, centred on a Brazilian ­churrasco grill, is no afterthought, ­either.)

Absolutely no idea. Apart from listing off all the rangas that PNU have had in my 11 year stint I really don't know. Tyson Burrows maybe :)

Didn't Tom Hannah actually make the Tap Inn to start with?
As in, bought it and turn it in to that?
Did he sell if afterwards?

He turned the Ovingham Hotel into the Bombay Bicycle Club years ago before then turning his efforts to the Tap Inn
I love 'Food and Stuff'. It's where I buy all of my food. And most of my stuff.

Went to Charminar tonight as we found it in the ent book gold section.

Normally it's excellent, tonight it was not. Some posters may have received a snap chat with the disturbing aftermath. :oops:
