We've been lucky to have been visiting Huskisson when the Buds tavern was hosting their first Filipino night. The staff seemed so happy and attentive that we actually decided to return on night two. Tuesday Schnitty night! I had the Caesar salad and my partner had the Schnitty. It's the crispiest Schnitzel I have tried in a long time. You see that whoever is working in the Kitchen, cooks with love. So they did on night one where we had a set course menu, as well as on night two. Plus it's dog friendly! We will be back!

Hands down the best pub feed I’ve ever had! The chicken parmi at Buds Tavern was an absolute weapon — massive, cheesy, crispy, and downright life-changing. I swear it could’ve fed a small village. From the second we walked in, the staff were legends. Super friendly, checking in often, and making us feel right at home. Unreal food, even better vibes — Buds Tavern, you’ve officially set the bar (and the parmi) sky-high.

Excellent spot with great dietary requirement knowledge with delicious gluten free chicken schnitzel, popcorn chicken & tasty chips as cooked in a separate gf fryer. Not sure what happened with the above review as we had kids with us so they set us up outside the pub to eat and were very accommodating. Highly recommend and will have to come back soon!

Have been here twice this week for lunch, I had the Pub Steak both times and both times it was cooked consistent and steak was very tender. Atmosphere is great and staff are friendly and welcoming. I am confident that I could eat here every day and not be disappointed. Well done guys keep up the good work. Price is fair, only downside there is no mushroom sauce but the Diane sauce was a good alternative. (P.S. I asked for no tomatoes in salad)
