Play Pokies at Payneham Tavern in Payneham

Whilst the service staff are pleasant we were let down on prompt delivery of food. One schnitzel was well overcooked and burnt on edges. Chips were floury. Meals did not come out together..big gaps...so by time last one came part of the table had already finished theirs. Looks like they can't cope when busy. Was there week prior totally different experience, food amazing and came out timely manner and for all at the table.

We went along for lunch one Sunday recently. The food was average, prices quite high for the quality to be honest.
I had a schnitzel with the garlic prawns, it was pretty average.
Kids playground was good, but very busy!
Service was amazing, we were served by Alicia who was so friendly and helpful, truly an asset to the venue and a wonderful host.

We would consider going again but the quality of the food was definitely not worth the price

Amazing staff, efficient and quick service,less wait time for food.Loved the newly renovated atmosphere. Schnitzel was amazing pizza was great.

Been wanting to try the Payneham Tavern ever since it got renovated. I went for dinner tonight and absolutely loved it. The staff were very warm, welcoming and helpful. I ordered the chicken burger and my brother ordered the schnitzel. I loved the burger and my brother said it was the best schnitzel he'd ever had, the chips were also amazing! The food came out super quick. There is also a kids playground in an enclosed outside area. I'm definitely going to bring the family back.

Went there tonight for dinner with the misses and kids, loved he renovation, beautiful new carpet, the paint on the walls exceptional, but that is where the praise ends, ordered a bottle of sparkling wine, it was warm, then the food came out, and omg I have had some bad schnitzels over the years and this one was of the down there with the worst of them. Fried to within an inch of its life, it was dry tough and bloody hard to cut let alone eat, I thought the saving grace might have been the chips except they were colder than the wine and soggy. Atlas at least some fresh salad, no I was wrong 1 bit of tomato, 3 slices of cucumber and a few bits of lettuce that looked like they had mad a few trips over the pass and through the dining room . All in all a very enjoyable experience if you enjoy bad food warm booze and nice painting and decorating
