About The Old Bushman Hotel
The Old Bushman Hotel stands on Cowan Street in the centre of Gawler and has been pouring beers since the town's early days. Locals know it as the Bushies, and the refreshed venue keeps a lively, friendly feel. For functions, the main bar and bistro have several areas that comfortably hold up to 100 people, so a big birthday or reunion can stay together in one part of the pub. There are also two private function areas and a number of semi-private spaces for smaller, more intimate groups. In the cooler months guests can settle in by the open fireplaces. When the weather warms up, the beer garden, deck and courtyard give a celebration room to spill outdoors. The pub hosts small wedding receptions, engagement parties, birthdays and reunions, as well as wakes and baptisms. The function team helps shape each event around the space and the group, and you can get in touch with them to talk through dates, numbers and food. Food comes from the hotel kitchen, which serves pub classics such as schnitzels, grills, burgers, seafood and pizzas at lunch and dinner every day. There is plenty of parking on site and in the streets around the hotel, which makes arrivals easy for older guests.

The food was well cooked and presented, unfortunately the sauce had something in it that I cannot eat and I was temporarily unwell due to consuming just a tiny bit before realising why I felt unwell. I was able to remove…
