The staff were excellent. They could not have done more for us. I have eaten there many times. This was a catch up with a friend of mine who I have not seen for a couple of months. The food is always excellent and today proved it. There is an absolutely amazing choice of food at the help your selves bar, and then you get table service with Lamb. Steak and other meat. You could not ask for better service anywhere. I fully recommend this restaurant.

Overall I liked it. According to the rules of the establishment, you must pay a certain amount and eat everything that is offered to you in unlimited quantities, excluding only alcoholic drinks. There are many varieties of meat, which are cut hot from a common piece right in front of you.

We last visited here for a leaving do 10 months ago but the place has changed for the worse. We went as a party of 5 last Fri evening and the place was just half full. Prices have gone up but the food quality has gone down. Firstly, 2 of us choose the salad bar option and at £20 the choice was poor. There were lots of cheese, pickles and bread to choose but hardly any choice of hot dishes, 3 out of 6 were just potatoes and rice. The all you can eat meat option wasn't much better, as the portions of meat served were the smallest slivers and for £34 you expect more. If you're after a disappointing meal which is terrible value for money, then this is the place to go. The only plus point was the lovely lady on the till when we went to pay.

We went on a Thursday so it was pretty quiet but there was still plenty of choice. The chefs made a point of regularly checking if there were extra things we’d like to have cooked, even after it was clear that we were being a bit greedy and taking more than we could eat. All the food was delicious.

Went there with my wife after looking for a place to eat meat. Some other restaurants at Gateway Plaza weren’t serving food anymore, on a Wednesday at 8 pm!

From start to finish our experience was amazing! It was my daughter's 9th Birthday and you made her feel super special. We had a friendly greeting and were shown to our table by the host/bar manager. The selection of salad and sides was vast and the meats were plentiful and very tasty. Special mention to the chap serving the food Manuel (sorry if misspelt) he was super attentive and open to us suggesting what meats we would prefer. It was a Wednesday evening at the end of the school holidays so quiet but that can't be helped. The only criticism compared with when we have been before was that the selection of meats was maybe slightly smaller due to it being quiet, but when we requested certain things Manuel was happy to oblige xxxx Definitely be back soon, it's one of our favourite places!

I was very impressed with the fact that we got 2 bills - one with the service charge on and 1 without giving us the option to decide for ourselves should we wish to pay it, rather than having it forced upon us. Because of this and the excellent service we received, we paid the one with service charge on! Well done guys, keep up the good work.

I rarely feel comfortable taking my daughter anywhere alone she is SEN and the looks we get make her worse. Not only do the staff here go out of their way to help both me and my daughter, they also cater to genuine allergies. This means that my mum can join us and this helps my daughter feel more relaxed. Their disabled toilet being actually restricted to those who are disabled helps me to avoid accidents too, overall I think the staff are amazing and those with disabilities (SEN or physical) can feel comfortable here and those with potentially fatal allergies like my mum can safely eat here without risk
