Honestly best honest pub and foods people are friendly I like it. Drove 2 hrs just to have a meal and back lol! Prices r good food are good!! Lamb shanks leaves me memories thank you!

This is just an excellent down to earth country pub. They have an extremely broad menu, and at very reasonable prices. Staff are always friendly and engaging. Food is great quality and you won't walk away hungry. Schnitzels are particular good, good flavour, moist, and take your choice of a dozen toppings.

Lovely meal served by friendly staff.
Not the cheapest for a lunch time but everything was perfectly cooked.

The best schnitzel I have ever had. Always worth the drive to Charleston when I'm in Adelaide.

It'd been a while since we'd been to the Charleston and our last memories were quite positive, so we were keen to stop in. But, we should note - that was pre-Covid.
This time round, it was an utter disappointment. The garlic bread nothing more than a cut Woolies baguette style. The chicken schnitty, which was a 'large', was the size of a small steak.
The lamb on the roast - one would think a staple and unable to go wrong - was dry and over cooked. Worse though, it was clearly cut and left on the pass to dry out even further. A swig or 3 of our drink was required to stop the coughing and get it down.
Vegetables on both meals ranged from over boiled and tasteless to not cooked at all. The roast potatoes were clearly not parboiled and were still uncooked in the middle.
Gravy on both meals resembled pudding.
In terms of the space, the chairs and tables are clearly dated and stained and in need of a revamp.
It's a pity. With so many pubs in the area either doing traditional pub fare better or are changing it up with more seasonal menus.
Unfortunately for the Charleston, it looks like it'll be a while before we return again.

After a nice drive in the Adelaide Hills stumbled across this Pub. So glad we did, magnificent service and home style meals. Look forward to our next visit.

Lovely pub, has a very clean and classical feel.
The menu is a collection of all the classics. My wife and I had schnitzels, the choice of three sizes and the option to switch out the salad for vegetables is a great inclusion.
My daughter chose the fish and chips, the fish was cooked perfectly with a nice crisp batter and moist flakey fish on the inside.
Will definitely be coming again for lunch.

Glad we decided to stop for dinner.Very friendly hotel made us feel welcome.Just ordered pizza and ate in the beer garden. Great atmosphere .Would come back again and try something else

Classic Australian country pub. Fantastic food, well worth the drive out of town. Lamb shanks were to die for!

Love ❤️ this cute little hotel. 5 stars service, 5 stars food, 5 stars for friendly patrons as well. Lovely fires in front bar as well as dining room. Perfect for a cold winters night out. Loved it here.

Wonderful atmosphere, the chimney was on as it was a rainy day. Very extensive menu, with great variety.
The food was delicious, fresh, and the portion very generous. We had people with special dietary requirements in our group, and everyone was delighted with their choice.

Charming country pub that serves honest pub grub.

Chose the 'massive chicken snitty', but I think it must have shrunk a little in the cold winter weather hahaha.
I think if your labelling something "massive" then it should Wow you when it arrives at the table... unfortunately this just wasn't the case. It was pretty tasty though.

The pizza base was unfortunately chewy as though the dough wasn't proofed correctly or perhaps was over worked.

The shank was definitely the pick of the bunch.

Overall we had a pleasant evening. Beer was nice n' cold and the staff were plenty friendly.

Had the 'Huge' Beef Schnitty with mushroom gravy. Great size, good value for money. Tasty too!!😋
Washed it down with a local red as well.
Had a chat with the publican and was good to hear business is going ok for them in these crazy Covid times.
Great to support small local businesses.
Would highly recommend a schnitzel from the 'Charlie'

Great little country pub. Staff very friendly and helpful. Had dinner recently all meals were well prepared and presented. Menu has all the usual options but with a slight twist to make them a little more interesting. Also some very good vegetarian options. Well worth a visit.

My partner and I have always gone to the Charleston pub everytime we need a good schnitzel, with their wide variety of toppings there's always something we fancy. However I always pick the Charleston topping. We also go her on special occasions and birthdays because we know the food will never disappoint!

Jackie has done wonders with her refurbishment of these country pub lovely beer garden, porch area out the front dining and bar has new floor table and chairs. Excellent menu friendly happy staff, they make you feel st home in this cosy pub that has great range of beers and wines.
Cheers Jackie and staff keep up the great work

Good variety of options, especially for vegetarians. Tasty food and friendly service. Recommended.

Great spot to stumble upon for lunch!
A lot of history in this pub.
The parmi was SOLID. The topping looked nice, but was a bit bland in flavour. Generous amount of chips.
The battered fish was a great size! However didn't hold much flavour.

Always a fantastic meal. Staff are amazing. A great country pub with a fantastic family friendly feel. Book because they get really busy!

Warm fire, good service and food. Excellent place to stop by on the way home.

Absolutely one of my all time favourites.
Fabulous atmosphere, fantastic food, good prices and very friendly staff.

First time eating here and very pleased not only by the very friendly service and ambience but also the high quality food. All four of us enjoyed food not only cooked to perfection but presented with care and attention to detail. We could not fault anything. All meals came together and were hot. We will be returning soon. Congratulations to all staff involved and especially the chef for dedication.

Quaint little pub. Beautiful meals across the table. Good local wine list. I'm looking forward to an after in the beer garden next time. Worthy stop in Adelaide Hills

Every time I've been here over the last 7 years for a meal, it has been excellent! Prices on food & drink are average, so not expensive at all. The staff have also been great every time I've been here. Will always come back here!

Great pub, went a few weeks ago and asked for accommodation. The lady behind the bar was really helpful finding a place to stay. Called in today for a pint, lovely place.

The food is fantastic, customer service is good beer is cold;;just all round bluddy good ud83dude0bud83dudc4d

We had a group function. Great hospitality, food and drinks. I love well run country pubs. And this is one of them

Always great meals at good prices. Have never been let down. Excellent service with Jackie and Brenton leading the way. Give it a try!

We went for my dad's birthday. I ordered the chicken schnitzel. The schnitzel was moist, cooked well and not to bad priced for the size. There were three sizes to to pick from. Regular, large and hug. I went for the large size, which is pictured below and was a look size for me. My uncle had the hug size which is also pictured below. He was overall happy with his schnitzel as well. I would have liked double the amount of gravy though as I only got half way through my schnitzel when I ran out. I wasn't a fan of the salad as I prefer a more simple salad like iceberg lettuce, and more tomato and cucumber. I had the sticky date pudding for dessert. It was nice and moist and tasted great but could have been a little cheaper.

A really great place, excellent service and atmosphere. Menu choice was really good, not too many items to make it hard to decide what to have and good prices. Local wine choice excellent and reasonably priced. Well worth a visit, you won't be disappointed.
