The Village Tavern - Golden Grove

We came for dinner on Friday, 16th December 2016, for a mate's birthday. 3 couples and 3 young kids. The adults ordered their meals at 7.45pm ( 3 steak meals, salmon, ceasar salad and calamari meals). Was told there was a 30 to 40min wait. At 9.15pm the meals started to arrive with the last one, the salad arriving at 9.25pm! Thank god they had a good kids area to keep the young ones occupied for the 2 and a bit hours for the adults to get their meals and eat them, seeing it was well and truly after their bed time by the time we were fed. It wasn't that busy! I've been to much busier nights at the Waterloo, Gepps Cross, Mawson Lakes and Para Hills Club/hotels without such a wait!!! We received no updates, not even an offer of a free drink while we waited. The meals were ok but nothing special. We will not waste our time returning again. Para Hills Club and other hotels are better value, without the wait!

My partner and teenage son went to the tavern today 10.30 am to tryout there breakfast buffet, it was amazing plenty of things to eat plus a coffee $15.00 surely the best value in town. The staff were great very friendly a really enjoyable experience definitely be back.Mark.

Good pub food, nicely presented, fresh and good portions. Our group ordered a variety of meals from the menu and they all came out well. Some enjoyed their meals more than others but I wouldn't say anyone thought their meal was bad. Salad/veg bar was a bit small compared to some other places. Disappointed that there weren't really any specials for dinner. The same meals are much cheaper at lunch. Very friendly and helpful staff. There was a bit of a wait for the food even though some of us ordered early. Overall, ok but better value during lunch for what you get.

Well I don't like saying bad things but I have to agree with some of the other reviews. They spent alot making the place look nice but the service is really average and slow. The food if your after typical pub meals (not steak) is tasty at least the V burger I had was, but is dampened by the fact you get a buzzer and have to collect your meals yourself- I mean that's fine for small places but this is a big pub and it's not like the kitchen is close you have to walk through another dining area and a set of doors just hope u don't drop it haha!

I have been here three times since the reservation and I have been regularly pleased. Recently I had an avocado and chicken wrap for lunch, although low expense and beautiful presentation the wrap was very simple and the flavours were not balanced well. Overall it was a good time for the kids with the new playground and many others enjoyed their meals. I would go back as I have enjoyed the experience and have had many other meals I have enjoyed as well.
