The Lodge Hotel

On the 9÷11÷15 we booked a xmas lunch here for 20 people, at the time we advised we did not want the xmas menu and only wanted al a carte — they were fine with this and we have it in writing.
Come 2 days before our booking date, they advised that we cannot have the al a carte menu and can only have the xmas menu at a higher price.
This is extremely poor service to promise one thing and at the last minute, change the booking on us to make more money and make it easier for them — there is no other way to say it!
We obviously cancelled the booking due to very poor service on their part.
We were left stranded at this time of the year trying to find another booking that would take 20 people, fortunately we found some where and they were happy to take our $ 600.00.
Well played The Lodge by doing the dodge to your customers!

Years ago this place used to be pretty much of a dump, though their restaurant was all right. However, since I have been away from Adelaide they have given this place a complete makeover at it is now little short of awesome. Okay, it still has the sports bar, the pokies room, and the restaurant, but they have added one awesome beer garden. In fact if you walk into the beer garden you would be forgiven that you have forgotten that you are actually in Salisbury. Unfortunately the locals do give it away a bit (not that I can talk since I did grow up here). Oh, they also have a decent selection of craft beer on tap, something that I have not seen in any other pub up this end of Adelaide.
