Full House Oriental Buffet in St Edmundsbury

Quite a poor Chinese buffet with virtually not much choice of what to eat. Needs a right good shake up.

Having not been here for a while was very disappointed. The greeting was welcoming but had to pay before eating and even soft drink was expensive . The choice food was very poor and food was barely warm. The best thing was the ice cream but no cornets for young ones..... Was no chicken balls or chow mein.

Took my daughter here for lunch - not expecting too much to be honest - but even then we were disappointed. The food is very poor indeed. Nice staff and not a bad restaurant - but the food was highly processed and supermarket type. I don't like leaving negative reviews - but this was really bad. Not sure if the quality has gone down recently - but it's definitely not worth 4+ stars.

Food was fantastic and can't wait to go back again 😋

What an absolute gem of a place this is, it's spotlessly clean, the food is incredible and the owners are the best and most beautiful souls I think I've ever met, this is going to become my weekly place of nourishment for definite! Absolutely love it ! Xx xxxxxx

Lovely food looking forward to going again. Staff were great .hard working to make sure the experience was out of this world

Was empty at 6.30 PM Lovely place Clean And lots of choice But food only warm ..... £22 00 each ... I only had a little so 4 me was expensive 😩 Hubby not so ...

This is the best all you can eat I've been to however I can't justify going anymore with my kids as they charge full adult price for over 10 £22.50 and my 11 and 13 year old daughters don't eat that much for so we had to walk away and it's a restaurant we always use to go as a family but we can't now. I would understand if they are 16 years old and eat plenty but they don't

Great service, amazing food, staff paid alot of attention to the food., cleaning all the while. Staff were very friendly and chatty. Will definately go again.

Spacious. Welcoming . Greeted promptly , served drinks then sat down . Really impressed with how clean and well presented the whole place Is ( including toilets ) . Great selection of fresh cooked food , regularly topped up . Apparently 2 staff off but you wouldn’t have known as the tables were cleared and wiped down properly as soon as customers left. Lovely family run business . Dessert selection amazing ! Especially the ice cream and many bowls of toppings to add . Overall great value for money , clean , great atmosphere . Will be returning .

First visit to this restaurant as we wanted to try somewhere new. We phoned about an hour before we got there to book a table to give us plenty of time to find it as we aren't local, but we got there half an hour early and were greeted by a lovely lady who let us come in. She explained that we pay first and then take a seat- like many other buffet style restaurants, and also gave my Son a free drink of his choice which was lovely. The staff literally didn't stop, it was very quiet and we were the first ones there but it was literally 5.30, the food was being put out fresh which was great. The lady who initially greeted us was constantly walking around cleaning, clearing plates and checking the buffet and another younger girl was also continuously cleaning. We personally liked the rule that children are welcome up to the buffet, but they aren't allowed to help themselves or touch- as understandably this stops unnecessary waste and keeps cleanliness up to a good standard, as well as providing hand gel. -Hadn't really thought before but some foods eaten with hands, and then all touching the same serving tongs is a gross thought, so it was a great touch. No it's not the cheapest buffet, but it's also not the most expensive either. We will be returning. I hadn't seen the bad reviews before, and can't say we had a similar experience. The only way to truly know something is finding out for yourself I guess!

Very disappointing. Lunch buffet is not £9, but an exorbitant £15.90! The food is all luke-warm and mostly bland, with a few exceptions. The premises are clean and attractive and the service is excellent, in that the waitresses are very pleasant and they clear your used plates and cutlery away promptly. But it’s not particularly good Chinese food, and the price is way out of line with the quality of the experience.

Food is always good. Unfortunately, daytime prices have doubled in 2 years but still a good place to eat.

Always lovely food and excellent service!

We all know the food is a better looking version of you MSG heavy takeaway counterparts, but I can never forget the service. This team works hard, always happy, joyous and helpful. The decor has changed dramatically over the years but for the better. Comfier chairs, artsy decor and equally air conned during these hot weeks. Definitely will come back again. Thankyou

Absolutely vile! Disgusting service!! Myself, my daughter and a whole other family witnessed a worker pick up a mushroom off the floor right in front of my daughter and put it back on the tray where people where to serve there food!!! Aside from that, the main lady had her younger worker follow me and my daughter around the whole buffet!! Would not recommend and will definately not be returning!!

It is my favourite place! I love the food and all of the options as well as the whole atmosphere of the place ✨

We have visited 1st time really disappointed. Not worth for £23 per head buffet, very poor food , no any fresh foods and there are few main dishes nearly 3 main dishes they have. Moreover food quality is very poor and not fresh. If anyone live near this restaurant, pls inform to council to check their unhygienic food, because adults and kids also come there. Due to not fresh and outdated foods your family members health may affect. It is an serious issue please consider. If anyone visit 1st time, pls don’t go, find a better place for your money value.

A amazing place to eat the staff are really nice all the reviews about rude stuff is lies they are all very kind hard working people I suggest you come here.

After going from London , expending money and getting this type of Chinese food.....I have to think twice to go Chinese buffet. In their menu no duck , prawn 🍤, no lamb , foods are hot every bites give me like a hard bite of something . Compare to London Chinese buffet this is miles away . Kids did not like it at all. Only desert they enjoyed as in this summer everybody like ice cream. It is not worth to pay 10.90 per person for this meal. Can not recommend this.

We used to go here as a family and it was amazing, unfortunately over the years it has become extremely disappointing, the ribs were extremely dry even heard a couple in the next table talking about it, the prawns somehow had little to no flavor same as the muscles, and overall food was not the best we all felt ill after eating and sad to say we will not be returning to this place again. Staff also tried to take our drinks off of us even after saying no we want them on our table but was returned with no respect at all and constantly being watched. The deserts were dry and tasted off the only good thing was the peach slices in syrup which you can buy for £1 in tesco. For the price aswell just for 3 people paid almost £70 never been more disappointed in our lives it was so bad we want our money back as it feels almost disrespectful. If we could i would like to be contacted by this place.

The manager (an Asian lady who I suspect lied about being the manager so no one else would hear about her behaviour) was racist to me and my two friends (we are all black). She asked us to go to Golden city (an alternative Chinese restaurant nearby) because we asked if they had any type of discount deal “twice”. She refused to attend to us and claimed she doesn’t believe we can afford to pay for our meal (even though the person paying already had their card out). She threatened to call the police on us but didn’t (obviously because she knew she was wrong). I wouldn’t advise black and darker skinned people to visit this establishment unless they are very happy to be discriminated against xx

Oh my lord , what a disaster. Been to this place many times over the years and enjoyed the food and staff. Today however was a different story. I looked online this morning to check opening times , then looked a some reviews. A lot of bad reviews about staff rudeness and warm or cold food. This still didn’t put us off as we’ve never had problems in the past. So we went for lunch, one of the Chinese staff took us to the till , then told us for 3 people it will be £47.70 , I nearly fell over . I questioned the price and said it was very expensive , the guy just said that’s how it is basically and we wouldn’t find cheaper. A conversation took place between him and I , with him ending the conversation telling us to leave . Yep, the guy actually told us to leave lol because we questioned the price. The place was empty apart from one family , completely empty, I now know why obviously. Very rude obnoxious little man, we will never go there again and by all the negative reviews nor will a lot of other people. I wasn’t offended by him , but I was shocked at his attitude towards a customer. Anyway we left and went elsewhere , had a lovely lunch for a much better price and better service. We have laughed about this little incident all day to be honest ,but if this man carries on and I hope he does , this restaurant won’t last much longer. I told him to come read the reviews so if ur reading this buffet man ,I hope you’re happy with ur little performance today . I certainly won’t be loosing any sleep over it!

We have been to this establishment many times over the years. We popped in after going to the cinema for an evening dinner. We really like the fact that you pay up front for your food & drink. What surprised us was the cost. £51.50 for the buffet, one soda water & one Chinese tea. At these prices, it would be a no-go place to take our extended family. There is plenty of food to choose from. Some of the dishes lacked taste for us. As there were just 2 tables (including ours), it lacked any atmosphere. It will be a very long time before we venture back to this restaurant.

I'm sorry to report a change in food quality and not for the best. Dishes like Kung Po Chicken made with chopped up breaded chicken and chicken curry made with diced chicken. Some food was barely warm. Its still OK but could you get better food for less elsewhere?

The staff were lovely and very helpful. Super kind. The food is delicious and all for good price. Our experience was great and would disagree with the bad reviews :)

Arrived had tp pay upfront first thing which we was greeted with no real hello how are you we saw dust and dirt on floors near food area which we only spotted when leaving .toilets disappointed no lights in two .food was dry and no chicken balls no prawns no seaweed had onion rings why ? Had to fill up on ice cream desserts very poor looked like tinned fruit tipped in a bowl .has gone downhill from my last visit won't be going back never ate enough food for what we paid 😒

I have been going to this particular restaurant since my daughter was in a high chair to eat and I have always been greeted with a friendly smile and the staff are all very polite. Obviously there has been an increase in the price that you pay but as we can all appreciate food, electricity, wages and all other associated has to. Lunch time prices of around £16 for an all you can eat Chinese I believe is very reasonable considering a microwave meal from a pub will cost the same. I really enjoy the evenings too as there are more dishes to choose from including the king prawns that are my favourite and is the only restaurant where I can order a pint of coke and actually get one. In all of the times that I have eaten in I have always found the food to be to a high standard with lots of flavour and always hot. I would imagine the main reason why you now pay first is that unfortunately there are the minority that think nothing of eating without the intention of paying.

Not impressed for the price we paid. 22.90 for evening buffet. Chips were cold and solid. Prawn toast cold. Lots of the meat was hard to eat and cut. Plus why the huge jump in cost from lunch 15.90 to evening 22.90. I used to like it there. But frankly won't bother going again

I've never been to a Chinese buffet like it. They make you pay first and try to charge for a young baby. The food was cold, and a lot was inedible, but the worst thing about this place is the staff. They are the rudest I've ever seen. Some people complained about the food while we were there, and the staff (one older lady in particular) started shouting at them. We left having only eaten a few bites, we will definitely not be going back.

It’s ok. Not many in there. Thought £26 something for a pint of coke and buffet was steep considering it’s not cooked fresh for you.

We use to absolutely love coming here as a rare day out just me and the better other half. However after today I don't think this will be our spot no more. So I'll start with the positives. Staff have always been friendly and great service taking away plates greeting and leaving. The areas are always tidy and well kept and usually a lovely atmosphere. However now the negatives. Prices have now gone up again now I'm not complaining at thats as I understand thats what they need to do but to now not letting kids bring in there own squash or any outside drinks will be an inconvenience and even more pricey. Also the food is no where near the standard it use to be I found it quite dry and the sauce not so flavour and taking away things from the menu that use to be on there is also a disappointment. So this is why I have rated as so.

Dry tasteless The curry is like a powdered dirty water Never again Also signs everywhere telling u not to touch lol 9 saying don’t touch the blinds The cakes omg they are tiny in a massive box and old and dry £15:95 each wouldn’t go back if it was free

Love it here . Friendly lots of verity great value

I remember when this used to used to be a first class Chinese restaurant. The food now is abysmal, lots of it dried out from being reheated. The dishes with sauce are bland and pretty much all taste the same. As for the dessert choice pathetic. I will vote with my feet and never return.

Not been here since before lock-down. Food is now kept in lidded bowls...which helps keep the heat in. Lots of choices...you can go up as many times as you like...to try everything. Really nice food. Only negative is the drinks are a bit pricey

Tad over priced. Terrible selection Mainly all chicken dishes. Only had plain chow mein. All very greasy and not overly hot. And as for the desserts! Tiny paper thin slices of cake in boxes which were all warm! £100 for 2 adults and 2 children. That hardly ate anything. Children can't use the buffet, so have to wait for an adult to take them round. So not very relaxing for a BUFFET. obviously understand children under 5yrs need an adult but I am sure a 10 Yr old can help themselves. Very unsatisfied :( Maybe think about what you have to offer or lower the price.

Never been somewere so over priced and so little food.was a real shock.rude workstaff. Literally the food was from Iceland and reheated over and over.the muscles smelled gone off the squid wa horrendous.pretty much all the food was disgusting,as for the desert don't get me started.the only good thing was the ice cream machine.had to pay before even sitting down so that's telling you alot about what they think of there food.

Food wasn't very flavoursome nor hot.

You have to pay first, which is a big red flag. After you pay they tell you that you can only be there for 1 hour. We went for lunch and got there only a short while after opening and the food was dry and had signs that it had been kept warm for rather a long time. A few tables were not happy but just got smarmy looks from staff upon mentioning something. We ate about 2 mouthfuls each and left. Avoid. there's much nicer reasonably priced food in Bury.

Poor. Food was barely warm, too many dishes lacked taste and seemed watery and bland. Excellent ice cream though. It seemed to be understaffed and lacked atmosphere, probably due to the fact that there were so few diners (6pm to 8pm). We wouldn't go back and couldn't in all honesty recommend it.

Visited for my son's birthday and was sadly very disappointed. The food seemed like it had potential to be good but the pods don't keep the food hot, it was barely warm. It seemed quiet telling that the place was very quiet.

Staff very friendly. As you'd expect from a Chinese buffet food is not particularly high quality but plentiful and kept reasonably hot. Ok for a large group who just want to fill up

Food so stale I actually broke my tooth on the crispy duck. Singapore noodles had a chemical taste. Absolutely vile. Only good thing was the friendly staff

Probably the worst food I've ever paid for, even if it was free id never go back, disgusting.

The food was excellent, restaurant clean, great customer service and care!!!

Haven't been since before Covid, they have made quite a few good changes. All food is now in hot pods which are covered. No duck or prawns but plenty to choose from, very wide choice plus desserts. Very good value for money, would definitely recommend.

The worst experience of restaurant I’ve been to . 3 allergy menus in sight , yet when I asked what they had for people with dairy intolerance , the lady serving didn’t understand the question. She got the manager , who so rude , and in her way , told me I couldn’t eat there , and she refused to serve me .!! I was with two friends , one of which , was a regular customer. I was humiliated in front of other customers for being dairy. I’ve never had such an awful experience in a restaurant. My friend said she and her partner will never go there again.

What an awful experience . We were looking forward to visiting this place . My friends had been before , but I hadn’t . I ordered our drinks and told the lady that I was dairy intolerant . Her English wasn’t very good , and it was like she couldn’t understand me correctly . There were plenty of intolerance posters , so I was t worried . This lady got someone else , who also didn’t appear to understand much of what I was saying . I explained that I was sure thrre would be something gib could eat . She started raising her voice to me in front of everyone , and showed me up . To cut a long story short she refused to serve me , and got one of my friends to try and explain. She would t let me have anything to it in case I was ill. I said , I can have meat and rice . No no she said . She was very rude and disrespectful . Even my friend was horrified and said she and her parented will never eat there again . What a nasty woman, she said . She was horrible to you and showed you up in front of customers . We found another restaurant with polite helpful staff, so our evening wasn’t entirely ruined . We will never go there again .

Waitress was boderline rude,felt rushed at counter to order a drink even though was not offered or shown a drinks menu, was not told what table to sit at but she said we had sat at the wrong table, i had eaten here once before and had good experience but not this time,i go for a meal to enjoy and relax not rushed and moaned at!. when your a paying customer it pays to keep your customers happy! There are plenty of other places to eat in the area. Good manners do not cost nothing!

We've been to 513 before, and it's always been very good, and this visit was no exception. We didn't book, but there's that option if required. Like most other buffet restaurants, we paid for our meal and drinks upon entry. The owner remembered us, and we chatted briefly, as it was busy. We chose our table, sat, and then went for our food. The food is held in large, heated, metal tureen type containers. Each was clearly labelled, easy to open/close, and well stocked. The food was wholesome, tasty, hot, and very good. Fruit, and/or ice cream, or small desserts were available, too. A very good restaurant, at a good price, with great staff. Recommended.

Amazing fresh food. Excellent quality, with a large variety of dishes. Excellent customer service. Highly recommend

Very good food, very good value. Lovely lady at the front of house very concerned properly to cater to the vegan in our party and had a very good tofu dish cooked in addition for them. (Can't rate atmosphere as we ate very early on a weekday)

Sadly this restaurant has become a dreadful place to eat. We went there at midday so a prime time for lunch. The prices have been put up and the lunchtime menu reduced. They no longer even serve prawns. All the dishes were like soup with a couple of pieces of meat floating in them. Egg fried rice just looked wrong so didn't eat it. The few desserts that were there looked sad and unappetising. Shan't be going there again. Shame as it used to be a lovely restaurant.

Awful. came here for dinner, went to order the lady asked age of child (3) explain she’s eaten and won’t eat anything but chips( was holding lunchbox) tried charging £11.90 for portion of chips! Outrageous!!!

We like coming here with the kids. They charge reasonably (especially at lunch times) and there is always plentiful offerings to be had. The staff make this place what it is, so friendly and hospitable and so child friendly too.

513 has certainly gone downhill and hit rock bottom. The lunch menu buffet was absolutely awful. At almost £30 for two this was far from value for money. Every dish was cold, this was 12.15. The chicken appeared to be left over from the previous buffet. The curry was just a liquid mess. This used to be our go to restaurant on Market day in Bury, but not any more.

Don't believe the negative reviews Staff were friendly. They were helpful The buffet was nice

Beautiful restaurant, good variety of food I will be going back , first Chinese restaurant I’d been to with this much variety, staff very polite

Very poor choice of desserts, 4 year old who was ill wasn’t allowed to have 3 chips and 2 prawn crackers from our plates had to be charged for child price we spent £175 there today but due to poor choice and very little dessert options would never go back

Come here 20th December, amazing choice of food even something sweet for the kiddies, left feeling totally full, good value for money, will definitely come again

Fantastic place for a night out

Went here today . Its usually pretty good but we was not happy there wasn't much food to choose from like we always have. The desserts we're basic I've never had a problem with this place but I feel it's gone down hill food wise such a shame as I was a regular customer here . Needs improvement on the range of foods meaning if the food is going low it needs to be replenished.

I was a bit apprehensive eating here after looking at other reviews, I wasn't disappointed & would eat here again. The service and politeness from the staff was very good, I think people have to remember English isn't everyones first language & it can be quite stressful speaking a foreign language in a foreign country. Food, the only negative I had was the prawn crackers had little taste. Compared to other buffet restaurants the quality of the food was very good, I had the likes of Cantonese chicken, honey ribs, pork & beef dishes, all had plenty of taste, seasoned well & wasn't full of grease like some other restaurants. For dessert there was a soft ice cream machine (ice cream tasted nice), sponge cake & some fruit, as mentioned in other reviews there wasn't a big selection for dessert but I wouldn’t pick an Oriental restaurant for its desserts.

Went out with friends. Evening meal and absolutely not worth it. Not many options to have. Pudding also not many options. No labels on puddings, so not sure what they were, No obvious dairy free cakes.

Had a lovely buffet lunch 1st visit in around 6yrs . Still high standard, lots of choice and great value.

Used to be a good place....when owners changed i left disappointed same as my friends. I went to try evening menu but its really not worth it. All you get just prawns and they not tasty.no solt no garlic no chilli...food is not best one. Never will go again. Hygiene rating is 3 there. Really??

Worst place to eat in bury st edmunds. This is a buffet and I had one plate and that was too much. Shocking, cheers max.

Lovely place to go I would say if your looking to book for a table it's abit of a nightmare they don't answer the phone and the Web site is a nightmare but saying that the food is lovely the staff are very nice 😀

I will start this as a massive health and safety, and food safety concern. Someone was sick in the restart, the staff member and manager were cleaning the sick up with no PPE no signs nothing the sick (which is a biohazard) went all over the floor and up the stand where the food was. None of the food was thrown away, and because of no sign or commutation between the staff and the customers, some stood in the puke that was on the floor. There was no offering for cleaning products for this person, and they were not offered a refund or anything apart from deserts for the trouble. I highly recommend that no one visits this joke of a restaurant, as they have no regard for their customers and the law for health and safety and food safety within their restaurant

Came for lunch it was tasty, clean and good value for money. We will be returning!

Food was bit bland, not many dishes besides rice, noodles, starter/sides, best thing was the crispy duck pancakes tho. Would have like to see more main un- battered dishes, ie chop suey, chicken in lemon, but was good for price, speed and eating in.

Met friends here for lunch and was impressed by the variety, quality and sheer amount of food available. The staff were friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit.👍

Very rude staff didn't even get through the door before very rude and aggressive female member of staff started shouting at me to come and pay then asked me what I said while staring at me very aggressively.

Worst experience ever for Chinese buffet, food was absolutely tasteless, and I had a piece of wire in my beef from the beef in black bean dish! Staff tried to blame other customers for dropping it in there but it was actully inside the piece of meat. Would never go back and certainly would never recommend. Massive bag of sweets given and refund on leaving, but this doesn't change the fact they didn't take responsibility and tried to blame other customers, food wasn't hot and too much of the same thing!

Food 2/5 - Clean toilets hence increased rating You pay as you come into the restaurant. No dedicated parking - hence you have to rely on street parking which is costly during the day time but after 6pm is free. Or you need to park at one of the public car parks. The dinner service is a little on the costlier side for what it is. Lunch is a lot less expensive but I have not experienced if there is a difference in the range of food being served. I personally prefer a “made to order” buffet rather than everything being left out. Some of the appetisers were stale, some not too warm. There were however a couple of tasty selections. The Highlight is the ice cream machine but that should not be the reason for attending a Chinese restaurant.

Reasonable selection and I liked how each dish was in a covered stainless steel pod like dish. However the food lacked flavour and wasn't the best buffet by far. The muscles were tiny and mainly empty shells. Unlikely I'd dine here again.

Its 'ok'...had to keep asking for food to be topped up. Alot of the hot plates did not have that much in them and were stuck to the bottom in some cases. We went at 7.45pm. Chicken curry had no chicken in it for example. They put out bear minimum. Desserts cabinet was bear looked like what was just left over. Not much effort put into this restaurant at all.and based on that would not go back there

Had a very nice lunch here. Not a massive fan of 'help yourself' buffets and much prefer the 'cooked to order' ones as you know everything is nice an fresh. However, the food was hot and of good quality. It was constantly replenished too. It was lunch time so the selection wasn't as good as that at dinner time but then the the price is a lot less. For the price, I thought this was excellent value. I mean, you're never going to get gourmet at a buffet but it was certainly a cut above average.

Always nice food, always nice staff, highly recommend

Very disappointed, paid more to eat in the evening, I could not see many different dishes as at daytime. Food was only like warm instead of being hot. Definitely would not choose to eat there again

Enjoyed my visit. Food was a mediocre standard, however on the more expensive side, desserts were stale but weren’t awful. Staff were friendly, seems to be a clean environment. Would come back :)

Absolutely wonderful could not fault at all! The service was just impeccable. We phoned up an hour before they closed and they happily seated us, we were going to just have what was left over as we didn’t mind, but the absolutely amazing members of staff treated us like royalty, the chef personally came to the table with freshly cooked noodles, prawns & salt and pepper chicken because there wasn’t a lot of meat left. Deserts were fantastic! Overall just a great experience, we are travelling round the uk for work & this is one of our favourite restaurants so far

Fantastic place , great food , lovely staff 😍 and not to expensive xx Definitely coming back and recommending to all my family and friends xx Thank you xx

We have been to 513 on numerous occasions as a family ... but our visit on Thursday during half term was very very disappointing... we travel to Bury as family live in the area and meet here for a meal but on this occasion the food was luke warm, hardly ever replenished, I had to move used plates myself onto the next table as staff were non-existent & worse I felt constantly I was eating yesterdays left overs ... some of the chicken was rubbery like it gets when its been reheated the noodles were soggy etc, but the main problem was a lack of variety our daughter is autistic and we pay a lot for her to basically have crispy chicken balls & chips which she likes and will not eat anything else due to her condition (& may i add we do not ask for a discount etc we treat her the same as our other children as far as we can) but we do this to meet family but no chicken balls were available & I think this is because the batter would go soggy on reheating... overall tho the display was very limited and this included the desserts which unbelievably were Eaton mess or ice cream that was all no large selection of cheesecakes, sweets, cakes, ... we know it was a weekday and the service is limited but we have been before on a weekday and it's been ok ... we understand its quieter than the weekend, less staff etc but we felt the midweek cuts to the choice of food were so aggressive and we were very very disappointed and after years of going will not waste our money and go again .... such a shame a quick lunchtime meal which cost us £80 was to us sooooo poor 😢

Lovely sunday lunch meal, change from a roast. Good variety of food but no prawn dishes unfortunately today.

Excellent we are regular customers..Oriental Buffet is the best value to eat out in Bury St Edmund's .

As with other oriental buffets there was a wide choice of dishes to choose from, so there was something available for all those in our party of 12 and one price covers all food choices. Drinks available at extra cost. The food was very good value, plenty of choices and plenty of it. If you are expecting an oriental table service restaurant then the buffet is not for you. With the buffet you take a plate, load it up yourself, return to your seat, enjoy the food and then go for another, and enjoy that.

Very nice food, quick to get in and lots of choice.

Visited on mother's day lunch time. Itt was very busy, but still a good selection of dishes, food was delicious. Desserts could improve. The staff was very friendly and served with a smile.

Yeah… no… we will not be returning. The cost for 2 adults was £37.80and it definitely was not worth it. When we first arrived, we should’ve paid attention to the red flag that there were only like 6 people eating. When we went to get food, there was barely any food in the warming containers… yes, they have probably about 30 containers, but almost all of them were empty except a few vegetables and sauce. Mind you, this is 7:30pm… so we know we haven’t just missed a rush of people or they have been busy. We stayed for an hour and just about no new food came out. Containers remained bare and all they did was replace noodle. The ribs were too tough to chew, the mussels were so fishy (I feel unwell from the thought), the peppered chicken made my jaw hurt from how tough it was, and this is like getting 1 piece of each item because there was so little food. Then, we got to dessert. I do not know If I have ever seen a more depressing dessert display; the “cakes” are divided into small containers and resemble a little sliver. They looked dry beyond belief. So, my partner and I just decided to get ice cream from the machine. And that ice cream was the best part of our meal! Yeah, we will not be returning. I feel like I was robbed of almost £40 because I would’ve gotten more food at McDonald’s for what I paid- and it would have been better quality. Very VERY disappointed.

Absolutely a waste of money. We came in at 7:30 and paid £37.80 for 2 people; there was barely any food. There were about 30 food warmers but each one had just about no meat left in them and they were not refilled throughout our whole time there. The ribs were too tough to eat, the chicken was too tough to chew, the mussels tasted so fishy that it made me feel unwell, the desserts were dried up, and it seemed like everything was reheated from lunch. I feel like I was robbed of my money.

Lovely place and great selection of food. Highly recommend

Nice buffet, pleasant atmosphere.

It has been updated since I last visited. Clean and modern. Lots of choice. Tables are quickly tidied after each plate.

Awful! Rude staff who hassle you to pay before you've all even arrived. Illegally don't display allergens against the dishes and then unable to advise on ingredients when you ask. Money laundering IS ok however. We paid on our credit card but the refund came back in cash. Pretty sure that's against UK law too 🤔

Visited this restaurant for lunch. 1pm and a big group. They hassled us to pay before we were all there but wouldn't let us pay for those not arrived yet. Paid for 7 plus £2 for the baby. Big sign says let us know about allergies. Big sign next to it details the allergens and the symbols. THERE ARE NO SYMBOLS ON THE FOOD. I asked for help to know which items contained milk and soy as ingredients (we know about cross contamination and are ok with that) THEY COULD NOT TELL US THE INGREDIENTS Reason given was because "they know what they make, but not the items they buy." When we pointed out that is untrue as all items bought have ingredients labelled. They said they still couldn't tell us. Had to argue to get our money back because they wanted to charge us for the drinks. We'd barely had a sip! Not going to drink them down without eating. Not going to eat unless we can ALL eat. One member of staff continued to be rude about us after we'd left! A friend pointed out that it was them in the wrong Then they said they couldn't refund to our credit card so they do MONEY LAUNDERING too if anyone is interested 🤣😂 We took our £99 cash to somewhere else!

Visited for family lunch 2 members have allergies. Sign by till states to ask staff about allergies. Did so to find nobody can tell you what foods have the allergens in, they don’t have the packaging which displays allergies and don’t give warnings on food. Couldn’t risk chancing it so asked for a refund to go else. Manager refused was angry and argumentative. Will be reporting to trading standards.

The food is really good! £11.90 for kids is very expensive.
