The better looking of the town's two pubs, the friendly 1846 Angaston
serves Barossa wines and the cheapest steaks this side of Argentina. Just try to ignore the
Triumph of Silenus
mural on the dining room wall ('Oh it's hideous!' says the barmaid).
There's basic shared-bathroom pub accommodation upstairs (single/double $50/70).

An elegant, breezy room with huge windows facing the main street,
Blond serves nutty coffee and all-day cafe fare, including awesome pumpkin, capsicum
and fetta muffins. There's also a wall full of local produce (vinegar, olive oil, biscuits and
confectionery). Fake-blonde botoxed tourists share the window seats with down-to-earth
regulars.

At the top end of
the main street, Angas Park is an iconic SA company (recognise the little yellow bags?),
selling mostly Australian-grown dried fruits, chocolates and nuts: brilliant for a picnic
pick-me-up.
