Settlers Tavern | Ingle Farm | Review

Great food, family fun, and an indoor playground at Settlers Tavern in Ingle Farm.

Review by Angelica-Hazel Toutounji

Settlers Tavern is a newly refurbished pub in Adelaide’s north-east that’s stylish, spacious, kid-friendly and well worth a visit.  As we walked up to the door, we caught a glimpse of the play area through the glass and knew we were in for some family fun.

Inside the first thing we noticed was the luxe design. There are elements of navy, wood and stonework, along with a few goat pictures elegantly placed throughout the space. There are booths, couches and comfy chairs, and so many screens that they give JB Hi-Fi a run for its money!

While the space was lovely, what caught our attention and made us choose this spot for dinner was the huge indoor playground. It’s right next to the bistro, but in a separate glass room to help mask the noise and allow parents to easily keep an eye on their kids. There’s a little section where kids take off their shoes before entering, and a couple of small tables inside. We visited on a busy Friday and, even though lots of families were using the space, we didn’t find it impacted our experience.

Play facilities aside, the food was also really good. At the time of our visit (November 2026), Settlers Tavern offered a selection of kids’ menu items for $14, which included an ice-cream sundae and they even threw in a drink. We felt this was incredible value, and the kids enjoyed their chicken nuggets, fish and chips, and chicken schnitzel.

We also couldn’t resist trying the steak, so we treated ourselves to the Paddock & Ocean: a 300-gram scotch fillet with prawns, herb mash, broccolini and garlic cream. So delicious!

Aside from the food and family facilities, the service was warm, and our food came out very quickly. We had a few dietary questions, and the staff were happy to help.

Overall, we had a great experience at Settlers Tavern and know we’ll come back for a family meal. We also noticed they were offering a special schnitzel night on Tuesdays, which might be the perfect excuse for a night off cooking and a family get-together.

Next time you’re looking for a family-friendly spot with good food and a play area, Settlers Tavern is well worth considering.

What we liked about it:

• Good food, good facilities and good service 

Things to consider:

• They have high chairs available and baby change facilities on site
• They can accommodate gluten free, vegan, vegetarian and Halal diners 

Location:

249 Montague Road, Ingle Farm
