Buckingham Arms - OHalloran Hill

Great Value!. Booked a table here last Tuesday with 3 friends. It was my first visit in over 15 years.<br/ <br/ The smorgasboard had plenty of choice and it all looked very inviting but as usual with a set up like this, the hot food selections weren 't very hot.<br/ (In fairness to the Buck, I 've found the same thing at all other smorgasboards too, including our very expensive Casino Restaurant).<br/ <br/ The prices were very reasonable in fact the cheapest I 've seen for what 's on offer. There was a hot carvery, fresh prawns and seafood, plus lots of soup, vegetables, asian treats, plus salads and a fair choice of yummy sweets).<br/ <br/ It is cheaper on weekdays than on the weekends.<br/ We all sampled bits of everything and were quite impressed with the taste and presentation.The service was friendly too.<br/ <br/ The only 'bad ' thing I did notice, was that the place itself looked very tired. The chairs had peeling paint and no spring left in them and the blinds looked arcaic, with pictures of fuit bowls on them the same blinds from over 15 years ago. Maybe the money they save on not doing a revamp, is why the smorgasboard is such good value. <br/ <br/ Still, with the food being so good, you don 't notice the decor after awhile.<br/ <br/ All in all, a great evening I give it an 8/10!

We dined at this hotel last week with some friends and family.. it was a Saturday night and the place was a buzz. The drink service was attentive for a smorgasbord restaurant, other similar places you have to get your own. Good selection of tasty food. My favourite was the hot baked leg ham.. good selection of seafood also. Our kids tucked into the hot donuts and ice cream. Wow.. I remember doing that when my parents took me here.. Great to see places like this still going strong.. overall, great value at $30. Attentive friendly staff, in comfortable surroundings.

Went there for my gran's birthday and was really pleased with the selection at the smorgasbord its like all you can eat pub food. Quality was above average to great and staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Standard pub fare menu is reasonably priced if you buy the special on that day i.e. roast, schnitzel, steak. Nothing amazing but you can get a decent meal for $10-$15, who could complain?

A nice place to eat at weather it's for tea or a function the bucking arms hotel can cater to your needs. Service is good and food is delicious. The only thing that I didn't like was the chairs, they seem so old compared to the rest of the restraunt. 8.5/10
