⚠️❗EVENT IS FULL❗⚠️ Click on waitlist and I can add you if someone drops out.

As per event description, PLEASE arrive @4:40pm for check in & name tags outside the restaurant.

Eat from 5pm-6:30pm.

Since this is a timed AYCE event, I don't have leeway for latecomers since the restaurant sets the time.

Late attendees after 5:03 pm will not be checked in so will lose their deposit.

We'll be busy eating or chatting with other OBs so will not be dealing with latecomers.

Thanks for your punctuality and understanding to help this event be successful.

⚠️❗Please only register if you intend to definitely attend because we need to prepay 48 hours in advance.❗⚠️

    Scary suburb…

    • SydneySurfer on 22/10/2024 - 20:24

      Only for the brave …haha
      Seriously, some of the best Korean food is in Blacktown.

        I've had a few, can't disagree. Give it a shot and pick one place that you know you like or close to public transport. Who knows, you might find there's a few local Ozbs in the area.

      nothing too scary actually

      I have tried Filipino food there and also watched a Parade there previously. it's safe for me to walk around there, even went to the local library too.

    • elgrande on 23/10/2024 - 08:22

      Yes, in 1995.

    • lordra on 30/10/2024 - 00:51

      Not if you're black and from around town…

    Butchers Buffet sounds good. I prefer 30th Nov.

    • SydneySurfer on 25/10/2024 - 18:53

      Done. Please register asap as there is presently a limit of 20. Happy to ask to expand, but will see.

    In 2019, it cost $39 for the buffet dinner:

    Anyone keen to swap this to LUNCH instead? $44 for lunch on Saturday.

    • whyisave on 26/10/2024 - 15:59
      +1

      That will clash with the picnic at Hyde Park

      Since, every weekend of November, has a birthday event,
      what about lunch-time, during the weekend of 2-3 NOV 2024 ?

      • I Smell Pennies on 27/10/2024 - 00:29
        +2

        Clash doesn’t matter as not many are turning up to the city event especially if they live in the west I think they’d choose Blacktown instead due to travel.

  • SydneySurfer on 26/10/2024 - 16:36

    Ahh, Ok. Does that matter though. Anyone doing both?
    I can't do that weekend unfortunately.

    • whyisave on 27/10/2024 - 00:27

      Anyone doing both?

      AYCE Buffet and then sweating it out, on the way to Hyde Park later in the afternoon? haha

    Hi guys, I’m working with a contact of mine who works at Butcher’s to see if we can get the pricing down. Have advised OP re this. Will update in a few days…

    • SydneySurfer on 27/10/2024 - 09:56

      Thanks. Will see what eventuates.

    Update

    The contact I have with Butcher's Buffet has come through and thanks to him he's been able to help us celebrate OzBargain's 18th Birthday Meetup.

    The following has been proposed by my contact:

    "I would be able to assist to meet your $45pp budgeting requirements however will have to request the following to make it work. I will also further support the event by including 1x free soft drink/Korean beer per person."

    I've already called OP (SydneySurfer) to confirm the follow:

    • Location: Butchers Buffet Blacktown

    • Date and time: Sat 30 Nov, but time to be changed from 6pm to 5pm start

    • Price: Butchers Buffet will be able to match our $45pp budget, down from $52.99 (huge thanks to my contact).

    • Payment: must be in advanced (48 hours before actual event date). We will provide you a tax invoice if required.

    Many thanks,
    ISP

    Fantastic work ISP! Thanks so much for making contact and helping us out. Hope to see you there too.

    Get in quick everyone so you don't miss out for this no-out-of-pocket event, thanks to the generosity of @scotty, OzBargain, Butcher's Buffet and ISP's effort.

  • SydneySurfer on 28/10/2024 - 16:11

    Can those who registered please remember to BeemIt $10 to my account to confirm their spot?

    I cannot send everyone a message since not everyone has messages enabled.

    My BeemIt details should appear once you register.

    If I have not sent a message to you, it is because you do not have messaging enabled. Please send me a message for details if you cannot see my BeemIt details.

    Thanks very much.

  • RoseJJ on 28/10/2024 - 22:59

    I checked my train timetable and it seems they only recommended bus on the day and time. Is there any trackwork from Ashfield on the day? Anyone has any idea?Thanks

    • Syd Bargain Girl on 28/10/2024 - 23:11

      https://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/system/files/media/document…

      But not sure how that would affect you as buses replace trains between Ashfield and Central not between Ashfield and Blacktown. They also replace trains between Richmond and Blacktown which shouldn’t affect you either.

      • RoseJJ on 29/10/2024 - 20:46

        Yes that’s what I don’t understand why Google map only shows buses option for me in that particular weekend. Thanks so much for your help anyway 😊

  • SydneySurfer on 29/10/2024 - 17:14

    Hi all, the numbers have increased to 30 since more have shown interest.
    If you are still interested and have not registered, please feel free to register/waitlist because I can increase the limit if more OzBargainers want to attend.
    However, you must Beem me the $10 holding deposit with your OzBargain username as a reference so that I can confirm your registration.
    Thanks.

  • adsnomore on 29/10/2024 - 18:37

    Hi, I love to join but not able to register as my account is new. Let me know if you have a spot to make up the number. I can beem the deposit asap.

    • SydneySurfer on 29/10/2024 - 19:04

      Sorry, I can't. Even one of my kids is missing out. My husband just scraped in. Next year!?

  • SydneySurfer on 29/10/2024 - 22:10
    +3

    Hey all, I'm like many of you who are messaging me, in that some family members joined a few years ago and some haven't. Even one of my sons missed out on this Blacktown event because he'll be too new. I have a few grown up children and only 2 are members so the rest cannot attend.

    *If you are new or not yet a member and would like to attend, you are welcome.
    *You just need to join OzBargain and pay the $45 (discounted from $53) to me in advance.
    *That's because I need to prepay 48 hours in advance.
    *I will then add you to the booking.
    *You will not be registered officially on Ozbargain, as it blocks you from doing so, and since you will not be sponsored by Scotty/OzBargain.

    I hope that's OK and you will still choose to celebrate OzBargain's 18th b'day with us by paying the discounted price of $45 (with free drink) instead of $53.

    If you still won't make it, then maybe next year?!
    I'm planning on running this again next year if there's demand.

    • pull the lever on 31/10/2024 - 09:21

      Thank you for your hard work! The message is clear. There's always next year too.

  • Cameron17665 on 31/10/2024 - 20:40

    • SydneySurfer on 31/10/2024 - 22:09

          *Told hubby that a few people were sad they couldn't go and I was unsure about too many people. So he said he'll help tick off names and round people up, etc. ISP should be a big help too since he's done this before. Thanks too @Bottom G for quick offer.

    Hi everyone. If you want to attend, please register and follow the instructions above. Pay via BeemIt as per above also. Sorry, am working every day and night and weekends for a few weeks (except for evening of Parra event), so can't go back and forth and chase payments. Thanks.

    • cerealsmok3r on 10/11/2024 - 18:03

      what hgappens if you dont have beem?

      • SydneySurfer on 11/11/2024 - 07:00

        Hi @cerealsmok3r,

        I no longer have PayID. I had activated it for this but it gave away my personal email (not OB email as my bank only let me use the email on the bank account) plus it gave away my full name. So I removed it again after I was advised not to use it anymore, due to security.

        I don't give bank account details to strangers.
        I don't have BPay.

        Maybe you can join BeemIt (easy with a bank keycard) or have someone you know pay for you through BeemIt and you can reimburse them. Apologies for the inconvenience!

        BeemIt is really good and easy to use. I've used it regularly for years between family and friends for dining and presents, and it's been great.

    I cancelled my previous registration as it was before 12am on 10/11/24 but payment went thru at 12:01am 11/11/24 (in case it gets cancelled), so I just re-registered after 12am so I'm registered on the same day as the payment (ie. 11/11/24). Hope this is ok. Thanks.

    • SydneySurfer on 11/11/2024 - 06:50

      Got it. Thank you. Have added you.

  • homersyd on 11/11/2024 - 00:10

    BTW @SydneySurfer - can i bring my kid (12yr old)? thanks

    • SydneySurfer on 11/11/2024 - 07:09

      @homersyd Yes, you'll need to prepay $45 if you want them to receive the discount and free drink by being added to the booking.

      Or you can just turn up with them and pay the regular 12yr old rate at the door which is $52.99.

      I just checked their site and only 4-10 yrs old are considered children unfortunately.

      If you want to add your child, get in quickly please as my absolute limit is 60 people. There's already someone else who paid $45 to attend. Have added them to list above. So that's why event is limited to 59 self registrations, even though limit is actually 60.

      • homersyd on 11/11/2024 - 14:06

        EDIT: Paid for kid today thanks mate

        • SydneySurfer on 11/11/2024 - 21:09

  • crazyboy on 11/11/2024 - 13:03

    Do 2 year old kids need to pay separately?

      • SydneySurfer on 11/11/2024 - 15:24

        Please check with restaurant if they charge for 2 yr old.

    I’m not a big fan of the Butchers Buffet at Blacktown after going there a couple of weeks after it opened last year. It’s a shame it’s not being held at Volcanos steakhouse, I definitely would’ve come to that… Although, I kind of do protest a bit with my wallet and go there much less these days since Covid, before Covid they charged $52.90 for a 650g bone in ribeye steak (the Blacktown location didn’t exist then, it was only Parramatta and Bankstown), now they charge $86.90-$96.90 for a 500 gram bone in ribeye.

    They also had 2 flavours of protein shakes on their menu before Covid which they don’t have on their drinks menu anymore, I would always order the banana and peanut butter flavour one, since they don’t serve alcohol.
