Bring your cheap dad here, he will love it. How do I know? Cause my cheap dad insists on going here every time we go out for dinner with my sister and I. Even your grandparents will love it here, especially if they're on the pension, judging from how many oldies there are here, and how warmly they are received by the very friendly wait staff. The buffet is average. The meals are pub generous and all your favourite pub standards are here as well, steak, pies, pizzas, parmis as well. They do two for one steak nights on thursdays. I'd rather neck myself than eat here again but its the only place my dad wants to eat at, please send help....
Have been here numerous times mainly at lunch with the family. This place seems to have changed management a couple of times. I was slightly disappointed to find out that they took out the sweet potato chips as a side option to the usual fries. Meal wise it seems reasonable for a buffet however the salad bar is generally quite consistent in having bread rolls, hot dishes such as steamed and roast vegetables, potato bake, assorted salads and fruit. Place is clean however meals haven't been consistent in quality every time we have come and at times have had burnt meals and had to request it to be redone.
The sit down restaurant is quite a nice are to sit in, with a central "salad bar", it has a reasonable selection of basic salads and some hot food (potato bake etc). It's OK.
Recently the main courses have improved somewhat, they are not cheap but good sized serves. There is an all day bar menu which again is just ok. Nothing special to see or taste here .... move along.
I find the music which is playing constantly to be a little too loud and my written suggestion to turn it down a little went unanswered. Another place where the music is for the staff rather than the patrons.
Average pub and lunch food you would expect. Prices are varying however they do offer a lunch menu where there are selected items for only $10 with access to the salad bar. The salad bar is not very extensive but the food provided there is quite nice - lots of roast vegetables and fresh salads. Lunch on weekends usually has quite fast service however at dinner times there is usually a wait (especially when ordering the meals). Overall a decent food destination with nice meals.

Being a local, I do frequent this place, be it for the restaurant (with all you can eat salad and vegs buffet) or for the relaxing atmosphere bar, or the open till late pokies !!
Depends on the person, mostly the guys here are friendly~
The place is nice and clean, ample space of car park, free coffee/tea dispenser in the pokies, free cookies and pop corns too. I'd say lets go!!
One thing that is a bit of let down, hot food/kitchen finished early.
Pretty much standard pub fare and salad bar here, so don't have overly high expectations. The rump steak and the steak sandwich we ordered were both satisfactory with reasonable sized portions and average prices.
The salad bar was satisfactory with its range of choices and most of the items were palatable.
I came to the Runcorn Tavern for a birthday lunch, the group was quite large but the staff and tavern was very accommodating. I had the steak sandwich with chips and my mum had a steak. Both were really nice and all meals came out quite quickly one after the other to the whole table
The food is your typical pub food. It's not bad and just over mediocre. There is plenty of space to sit wherever you want. Last time we ordered the little bites including the pizza bites, sliders, nachos and chicken wings. It wasn't as great as I expected it to be but still not bad.

We went here with the entertainment book coupon, and thus received a free main meal. We enjoyed the mini buffet but it was nothing special in terms of taste and variety. The steak was slightly dry and the sauce was lacking flavour.
Like any good local tavern they serve a rump steak or chicken schnitzel at a good price. The atmosphere is busy but welcoming and there are plenty of different areas to eat or pull up a stool for a drink.
