The Barker

Had a great, cheap Pami here on shnitty night however bar staff were inattentive and rude. We spent alot of money over the bar but still recieved rude service.

Amazing how you live in a suburb or a certain town and have never been to one of the local pubs but this changed on Sunday after we decided to grab some lunch out.Sunday midday we walked into the Mount Barker Bistro and the place was empty which is never a good sign albeit it was only midday.... 30 mins later the bistro was packed so there's my good sign.The staff treated us like we had been Coming there for years and were very helpful and the food choices were very extenensive with some great local wines on offer like " Bird in Hand"Thoroughly enjoyed and have booked again with a group of others this weekend .

Went to Mt Barker for the day with friends & came across The Barker. Great service & the pies were the best we had eaten. Can definitely recommend the Venison pie. Would go back for sure.

My family and I went to the Barker for dinner on a Tuesday night - we have eaten here numerous times and every time we go the servings get smaller. We ordered 3 mains of salt and pepper squid, for $19.50 each. Each serving only had 5 pieces of small square squid, and the side salad was a heap of leaves with a slice of tomato and a couple of slivers of cucumber! Should not be called a main at all. How many pieces of squid would we have gotten if it was an entree? Lol

Starving I found The Barker! The kitchen had just closed but the lovely staff accommodated me anyway. They were soooo friendly & helpful and the food was amazing!!!! The pie was delicious!! I don't usually bother with a side salad but it looked & tasted so good I couldn't help myself!! The complimentary bread was also delicious :-) I'm now full & happy :-)
