W2 World Buffet Restaurant in Middlesbrough

great food choices, lovely interior design. wish they had more lactose free dessert options.

Omg the food is amazing lots to choose from, friendly staff , would defo go again next time im up this way

The food for a buffet is very high quality in my opinion. Always topping up empty dishes very rarly not got what I wanted. It can get very busy though especially at peak times which is no fault of the place I go here everytime i come middlesbrough the price is excellent too!

My first visit was on a weekday lunchtime with three other work colleagues, two of whom had visited before so knew the set-up. £15.30 paid - a bit steep I thought, but to be honest, the food was pretty good. I'm told there was much less choice of foods on offer on a lunchtime as opposed to an evening. The offerings seemed to be predominantly Chinese, there were some Indian dishes but these looked a bit luminous and watery so I swerved these. The pizza / garlic bread offerings were also perfectly good but very limited in choice; the salad buffet looked good too. All in all, a good visit so positive feedback from me. I doubt I would feel the same however if the place were rammed the way it was in other reviews!

Not the best in the world. Food OK.

Best buffet in Middlesbrough, good food and atmosphere. Pretty affordable

The food was just ok . Not very hot , some of the ban Marie's where nearly empty . If you like quantity over quality them you will like it. But I will not be rushing back .

Food was hot and tasty with a varied selection plus desserts or cold desserts But drinks are none branded soft drinks and cakes are half the size they use to be but overall A good meal and a nice atmosphere.

The food is mostly asian. But there are good options. Great value for the money.

Lovely place loads of choices of food and all you can eat and soft drinks beers and wine not free

The environment is lovely. The food is even better and the staff are nice.

We visited W2 World Buffet Restaurant on a Wednesday evening, and our experience had both highs and lows. Starting on a positive note, the staff were professional and polite, greeting us warmly and promptly showing us to our seats with drinks already prepared. The service throughout the evening was attentive and friendly. The main draw of W2 World Buffet is its vast selection of food, offering a wide variety of cuisines from Chinese and Indian to other global favorites. It’s an impressive lineup for anyone who loves having options. However, as is sometimes the case with “all you can eat” establishments, quantity seemed to take precedence over quality. While it was great to have so many dishes to choose from, many of the items felt lackluster, lacking the vibrant flavors and freshness that make these cuisines shine. The dessert section was also a bit underwhelming. One large cake appeared to have been ravaged, looking far from appetizing, and the mint ice cream had an unfortunate, overpowering flavor reminiscent of toothpaste. It was clear that desserts were more about quantity than quality. All things considered, W2 World Buffet is decent for the price, especially if you’re looking for a casual night out with an array of options to explore. But if you’re expecting top-notch quality, you may be left disappointed. It’s an alright spot for satisfying a variety of cravings but definitely not a fantastic dining experience.

Giving 5 stars for recognision but wouldnt even give it a one! Would never recommend this place to anyone. Got there was security on the door that was blocking the entrance and giving us dirty looks. Got to the checkout and the girl booking us In was rude and clearly had an attitude. We wanted refill drinks and were only allowed to order them if we bought all the toddlers with us refill drinks too which was not necessary. It cos over £130 for our family to then be served raw chicken and dry, stringy and discoloured foods. We called over a member off staff to show them the food. He took it away, waited for another member of staff to come look at it also and they both took the plate out back. When one of them returned to the table they said they had just temperature checked the chicken and it was hot enough to be served and there is a sign stating that the chicken maybe discoloured due to being cooked in soya? Looked for the sign stating this and never found one. Asked to speak to a manager and was told no managers were available. We all went home feeling poorly after consuming food here and will never return.

Was a Saturday lunchtime. Good selection of food. Our party ordered cocktails and these took over 40 mins to arrive despite chasing several times. Refillable drinks are great in theory but these are not branded drinks and the cola wasn't great.

It was a good experience, prices are really good. Good food too.

i went with a group of my friends for my birthday. the food was stunning as always however some of the staff was appalling the way they spoke to me and my friends. it was like they weren’t interested in talking at all and sounded really annoyed at us all for no reason. there was about 15 of us and they never charged us for refills as of how many people there was. and another thing is from now on if anyone leaves anything on there plates they charge you £5. i used to love coming here but now i wont be returning

Really good few niggly bits but overall the staff were quick at removing plates and very helpful nice food excellent. Been today(7.11.24) with my daughter and her friends for his birthday. I deliberately stood back as I noticed a staff member being rude to a bunch of teenagers, acusing of not paying for drinks/food ect. Being rude aboit 1 individual leaving 2 chicken nuggets and threatening to charge for wastage Will not be going again and the app has already been deleted, I don't care about the loyalty points scheme this waiter with a pony tail wins "the worst waiter I've ever witnessed serve" award

Chicken nuggets were not fully cooked pink inside. The staff on Wednesday 6th November were awful very cheeky telling kids they couldn't have more than 2 drinks even know payed for refillables. The staff also said had to £5 per plate if food not eaten. They charged a woman with a 2 week old baby £5 for taking her own baby milk in. The way staff spoke to people was absolutely disgusting especially in front of kids. I am classed as disabled I was told wasn't allowed to use disabled toilet because I could walk I have problems with my spine so can not walk far. Just be careful if you go if you use your card to pay and not finish your food they will charge your card. It's way too expensive aswell it cost me and my partner with 4 kids £142 without drinks. I will never go again not after this time. I've never had a problem like this before.

absoloutley shocking place this is well for a start they now have signs on the tables about a charge of £5 for wasting food which is fair enough but my daughter is severely autistic and she kicked off getting upset at the food cause she was full after the manager standing watching us the whole time he then flew over and said to my child there’s a charge for that …, after paying £102 to actually get in he demanded more money he said i don’t care who’s disabled then on the way out he tried to stop us getting out he said how r u paying cash or card i said i’m not paying he said right ur all banned do not come back how shocking that place is in the picture is the food what was meant to have been wasted but to get told he dosent care who’s disabled is surely breaking the equality act but before going here please remember leave one single bit of food and your getting charged

Food is lovely, service a bit slow initially to get us seated as there was 11 of us but would happily eat here again there is something to keep everyone happy and plenty of it.

Visited here on a Monday 22nd of July dinner time (lunchtime). The 2024 price was £10.95 (adults). Good restaurant, they do pancakes where you have to queue up chocolate cakes, the normal Chinese And a chocolate fountain well busy highly recommended I don't know about Sunday never been but will definitely be visiting again.... been again since the lockdown, you now have to download an app to order on your phone. You can do it the old-fashioned way, but our waiter didn't tell me this he just expected me to know these things. The lad on the payment counter was more helpful when I complained. I said, "Shouldn't you have a notice at the Front door to tell people before they enter because not everyone is clued up about these things , I only went in to get something to eat it spoilt the whole experience for me if I had gone on my own I would have still been sat there lucky I was there with my 13-year-old who knew what to do obviously that doesn't work for everyone does it so why don't they just write it down what you want on a piece of paper instead of you sitting there getting yourself al frustrated and what if you didn't have a smartphone .?? Or enough charge even Anyway, enough of me rambling on, they now serve it to you, but they only give you small portions but you can order as many times as you like but pre covid-19, you filled your plate up, didn't you . I've been in May 2022, and now everything is back to normal. You get up and serve yourself / been again in August 2024, and enjoy it

dont go unless you want some food poisioning!!! me and another person came with me. the initially food seemed weird, the chips were cold and the noodles tasted a bit odd. my boyfriend wanted to try out the menu but then he was told to pay £5 if they didnt clear his plate (we werent told that until they wanted to take it away). then the next day i was suffering extreme symptoms of food poisioning! £30 for food poisioning is not worth it in this economy. dont go

W2 World Buffet in Middlesbrough is a culinary adventure that truly deserves its 5-star rating. From the moment you step through the doors, you're greeted by a vibrant and inviting atmosphere, promising a feast for the senses. The sheer variety of cuisines on offer is simply astounding.

The pizza and pasta stations are a hit with both kids and adults, providing a familiar and comforting option. But the culinary delights don't stop there. The dessert section is a dream come true for any sweet tooth. From decadent cakes and pastries to refreshing ice cream and fruit, the choices are endless. The live cooking stations are a particular highlight, where chefs skillfully prepare sizzling teppanyaki dishes and mouthwatering noodles right before your eyes. The quality of the food is consistently high, with fresh ingredients and well-balanced flavors. The staff are friendly and attentive, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable dining experience. The restaurant itself is clean and well-maintained, creating a pleasant ambiance for your meal.

It's a place where you can indulge your appetite, explore new flavors, and create lasting memories with friends and family. I highly recommend this culinary gem to anyone visiting Middlesbrough.

This is a fantastic place to go. The food is spot on and the design of the place is just stunning.

Fab lunch with family . No rush , plenty of choice , great staff.

Place was manic!! Food was below average tough chicken most stuff tasted same ie sweet sour, nd peking! prawns still had shells on under batter🤮🤢 Indian food didn't even taste like Indian lol, Steak well a feed me dog better meat overall, GARBAGE!!!! On thee other hand if your obese or just a pure greedy so nd so well this place will suit ye down to the ground!!!

Went with work not my choice much a a muchness but lots of empty sections with no food in ...

Good place, odd smack head gets in, but generally good, cola chicken is lovely. Escalators to get in and out, toilets are stunning and music is blasted in so you can pass wind or poop as loud as you want.

Gorgeous food excellent staff very clean highly recommend it

This was our second and last visit. We went to celebrate my daughter’s birthday as she liked the desserts this first time we visited. Both times I found the staff quite rude and unprofessional. First visit in summer, my daughter and I went to eat, meanwhile my toddler was fast asleep in the pram. I explained that she was asleep and wouldn’t be eating and if she woke up during the visit, I would come back to pay for her too. Someone literally stood over us and as soon as she woke up, marched to our table to request immediate payment without me having the opportunity to go and pay. This visit, we had booked for my daughter’s birthday, a few of her friends joined and some adult family members too. We paid on arrival as you do with one more on the way, we were shown to our table put coats on chairs and at that my friend, that last guest arrived looking for us…. I spotted the Manager following her and met them half way to explain she hadn’t been before and was coming to check in, she just wanted to make sure we were there. He rudely explained that “Policy” stated no one was able to join a table after you had sat down. I pointed out that we had not yet “sat down”, had been in the building all of a couple of mins but did not see the issue as she was also a paying customer! We had our first course (basic Chinese food and some salad) then they cleared away our plates but not the plates from the table the children were at. I asked if a waiter could take away the plates and they said they were leaving them there as they wanted to speak to us about “policy” again this time on food wastage (one of the children left some noodles that didn’t taste very nice and another left a few chips that were cold) I explained that I was unaware of these policies and would like the plates removed so that the kids could eat dessert. One of the kids wanted some strawberries but was refused unless she ordered a crepe too, (seems strange and out of line with their food wastage policy if unwanted) anyway, she opted for other fruit instead. They must have a lot of people looking to dodge payment or leave lots of food as it seemed to be something they looked for and quoted regularly! All in all, food was “OK”, Service levels absolutely terrible but if you want a nice meal out with your family or friends without a line of waiters stood staring at tables looking for ways pick out diners not meeting policies, I really wouldn’t recommend this place!!!

Some of the food was good but about a third of what I had (so not everything on offer) wasn't great. The staff were nice, the place was clean and the beer was cold so not too bad.

Loads of different dishes to choose from but most of the staff look miserable and charging kids by height instead of age is a joke, adult price for my 11 year old who despite the fact he doesnt eat a lot but because hes tall we had to pay adult price for him

I've wanted to visit here for years and today I was finaly going to, I was so excited, but I was so disappointed 😞 there was hardly any choice in food, few Chinese dishes, nd couple of indians , best part was deserts, and yes it was much menu, but I expected better

Very nice food and clean place plenty to choose from.

Heard bad reviews about this place in the past but I can say that it was amazing, planet of choice even though we went during the day. Would definitely return again

It's a lovely place, with lots of tasty food. The variety is top-notch. There's value for money as well. Remember to come hungry, though.

Loads of choice in food. Definitely advise booking table in advance and bring cash as you can sometimes get served quicker if there is a problem with card scanners.

The food is good but the staff are mostly rude & look miserable like they hate their job. Specially a young chef on the grill that is quite incompetent & has a look of disgust on his face

The food is good, However the staff are quite rude & mostly incompetent. In particular a Pakistani chef on the grill who looked miserable & was very difficult to deal with as he basically didn’t want to be there. He just basically hated his job or maybe hated the customers… I am not sure

First time I'd been there and I would highly recommend it to everyone it was an amazing experience.

Very nice food with excellent service.

Great food and service. Had to wait a while in the queue to be seated but well worth the wait

The food was lovely but the floor was wet and i went flying. The staff seen me fall and didnt care all they was bothered about was cleaning the floor after it happened so they didnt get in to trouble. The staff did not come up to me to ask if i am okay. My mother had to move plates to next table as no one came to take them as they was a big fammily of us. Would not recommend coming here again

It would have been alot higher if the man on the bar yesterday had been more polite and less rude. He was rude to his colleagues, to customers etc. I know there were issues with some machines but he was very verbal about how annoyed he was, and took it out on other people. If he is a bar manager I suggest he gets re-trained. Food was excellent, other staff were very helpful.

We where there last night . My daughter fell as the floor was wet, and.she hurt her hand. The staff didn't come over to her to ask if she was ok but as soon as she moved they was drying the step where she fell . i would never go back

If you want food poisoning at a high price point and poor customer service, be my guest. I don't know why there is always a queue to get in here. I have met more people who complain of how bad the food is here than who actually rate this place. It's the bottom of the bottom food places. I am convinced some of the 5 star reviews are fake. I had the worst food experience here. Hold that trophy world buffet. Had fried prawns and they tasted like they'd been cooked last year and left there, so I left them on the plate. I went for a second plate and got noodles and black bean sauce which tasted like what i imagine animal excrement would taste like. I was not expecting that at all. It was so awful to the point I gave up eating. Money down to waste. Never again. Save your money. Save yourself from food poisoning . There is zero food standards here... Plus, staff are always rude here.

lovely place for couples or families, and a selection of great food really enjoyed it

I like this place, been about ten times. Food always good, of a higher standard than most buffets and because busy food turns over quickly so never sat for long periods. Excellent amount of choice and of course all u can eat. Brilliant choice of deserts including two separate members of staff, one making fresh ice cream roll and one making crepes (my favs were biscoff ice cream roll but has to be nutella on a crepe). The reason i dont score it any higher is down to, your individual experience on the night as to who serves you. Quite often had drama at the front counter about payment, or their own loyalty scheme or more so when two of our party were delayed after their car got hit on the way. Staff were having none of it and said we either sat without them and they were not allowed to join us on arrival or we had to leave. Great way to treat loyal customers. Does it stop me going, no! Still enjoy the food and sitting chatting with friends. Oh and the birthday music/robot can get annoying lol

Loved it this time always busy but good food

Best place to eat if you have a massive appetite. Great choice of foods. Amazing desserts as well.

The customer service is nothing to write hime about. First, the lady at the pay point was not concerned enough to explain the drinks refill policy to us (which still makes no sense to me), just because one of our party of 3 didn't want a drink. All the other waiting staff were unreasonably rude and unwilling to assist us when called upon. Then I had the worst case of food poisoning afterwards. Then, we were not allowed to take a group photo at the table. This put us all off entirely. This was my 5th and worst experience in W2.

Food decent, nothing special , waiters ignorant. Floor was soaking wet so I slipped over and when I told the waiter that my food was on the floor he just blanked me and walked away , should really have wet floor sign

Absolutely jam packed they use cheap food and pop now lots of cold food and more like a cattle market I will not go ahain

The food is really bad. Dry and hard meats, soggy sides and fake cola. Poor service and no reason to return.

Love this place very good value for money

Just to make everyone aware, if you have a large party, there is a 2 hour session for all parties. And don't be tempted to take sweets home doggy bag style as one of our party tried. It's frowond apon, and everyone is monitored at all times by cctv. The food is fantastic. Everyone was happy with the variety and quality. The atmosphere was a bit oppressive as the venue is on the dark side, and it seemed that half of the staff were not so happy to be there. But only half of our 13 party would return to this venue again.

First time visiting so wasn't sure on what to expect. But we were NOT disappointed there was an array of food from everywhere e.g Chinese, Indian, Italian Sushi, English Carvery, Rest of the World which included Parmasan Boro Style. We started with Chinese food which was very flavoursome; then went for Italian. The pepperoni and Margarita pizza was good and the pasta was a bit too cheesy for my liking but still nice. We then tried a few Indian Foods Samosa, curry, pork; spring rolls which were all good. Dessert had a insane amount of options e.g cakes brownies jelly ice-cream and a white chocolate fountain with marshmallows (my personal favorite) then we queued up (while being full) and got some rolled ice-cream. The flavor we picked was mixed berry. They prepared it in-front of you and were OK for you to video the process. The tartness of the berries along with the sweet ice cream was fantastic. We finished lots of food and it was around 45£ for 3 people including drinks. You didn't have a time limit; just were told to be mindful of what you put on your plate as waste isn't liked. Overall the experience was good and would love to come back again. I 'd highly recommend. Charlie age 11

Not bad, not great, get what you pay for. Some of the food was decent but the soft drinks taste like alloy wheel cleaner and the mint ice cream had a proper fake taste to it like that mint shower gel.

Overall good variety, value and taste.

Thank you so much to the brave staff last night who worked through the riot to feed us and give those of us who did not want to be locked up at home somewhere safe and welcoming to sit it out. Warm friendly people like you and your lovely guests are the soul and fabric of this town.

Best all you can eat buffet in the north east. Great variety of foods and deserts to choose from covering all types of continental, vegan, kebabs, chinese & indian

Visited on a Tuesday evening in the school summer holidays. The restaurant offered a nice variety of British Chinese restaurant dishes, all served hot and not padded out with lots of onion. There was also a carvery station with roast potatoes and roast meat, four Indian-style curries, and a huge pudding selection. Every dish was labelled with allergens. My family has a variety of food allergies, and this is the first time in years we've eaten out without having to check ingredients with an underpaid staff member. It was amazing. I'd love to see more vegan options - particularly for dessert, which were mostly milk-based. The staff were helpful, friendly and efficient. The restaurant was busy, but we never had to queue for food, and staff were working hard to keep tables tidy and the buffet stocked. We will absolutely be returning!

Awesome place food choice was unreal lots to choose from piping hot food chinese indian sushi waffles and pancakes maple syrup beautiful, will be back

Had a bowl of sweet there was some left in bowl staff took them and put them back in the container fir others yo eat after we had are hands all over them .kids hair all over the food

Was very surprised tbh, I hate buffets but my fiancée convinced me to go. The food was good and plenty selection to choose from. Being a Saturday night it was busy but the food trays were filled constantly so each time I went back for more it was all fresh and hot food again. I would definitely return even though I’m not a fan of buffet.

Lovely food and really friendly staff, restaurant always clean and tidy never had an issues with them. I treat my mother once a month for food out and we always choose here.

Really disappointed in this buffet and it’s average at best. Quantity of food is high but the overall quality is poor. Non branded soft drinks is unacceptable when paying premium prices. Staff are miserable. Everyone is made to be seated near each other. The kebab meat is the frozen rubbish from Heron. Many of the main meals are over powered with salt and of the poorest ingredients. I don’t mind cheap ice cream but this stuff is the worst I’ve ever tasted. Such a shame the prices have increased over the years and the quality eroded gradually. I won’t come back again. Was better a few years ago. For the price you are better eating at a nice restaurant.

Absolute appalling service, totally get they prioritise bookings but having you wait while they take payments from 54 individuals and not have any other member of staff taking other customers in is terrible. Attitude from staff is horrendous too

I didn't like the taste of the food

Very busy on a Saturday night but that's good in an all you can eat, it means the food is always freshly cooked excellent selection and not expensive

Very nice food and a variety of food choices and sweets. however the staff is very rude! They don't communicate and they look at you like they are sick of their lives. They don't smile and their expressions make you wanna leave, you don't feel free to eat because you feel like they're judging you. They don't clean the tables unless you tell them to even though its a buffet and its their job as the tables need to be cleaned.

Food is just to say ok - I even found a free false nail in the strawberry ice cream 🙈 Very expensive for the quality of what's on offer. You could go to Aneesas in Newcastle for a couple of quid more and experience high quality buffet that'll make you realise how substandard W2 is!

Good selection of dishes but mostly Chinese to be fair. it's really nice, so much choice in dessert

Love going here, alot of food choice. Something for everybody

Amazing nice people service always the best .Tasty meals

Very poor customer service but the food was good

Had a wonderful meal with a large selection of foods from around the world. Was impressed with the vast selection of deserts. Would go back again if in the area.

Great food. Good price. Value for money.

All you can eat. Good food and lots of variety. Never had a bad experience here yet. Choices of English food, Chinese, Indian, Japanese and a whole range of desserts. Can sometimes be a big queue to get in, but certainly worth the visit. The staff are very attentive and all work very hard 👍

Clean the range of food Indian Chinese Korean English dishes taste divine refil potato great deal deserts to die for Great prices very clean toilets brilliant I for one will be back outstanding

I have been here a few times now and this review is based on my recent visit. Went here for lunch on a Monday. Was still fairly busy. My overall opinion of here still stands 'average at best'. I can never give this place anything more than a 3. The food. Very plentful but the quality is rubbish. A lot of what was out was luke warm and hardly anything was hot. Service. This could vastly be improved. Always feel like your being watched. Drinks are very overpriced. Overall I wouldnt return. Surely must be better places than this in the area? They also need to imply some sort of dress code. Loads walking around in scruffy tracksuits, sports shorts etc.

Load of rubbish, flat warm pop, all the chinese stuff stinks of sweaty feet, all deep fat fried, bloated after 2 plates

Paid £110 for our food my child had finished and had penny sweets left over instead of going in the bin he put them in he’s pocket a lady come over asking him to remove them and put them in the big I said theirs a hand full of penny sweets won’t harm any one greedy horrible service absolute jobs worths won’t be returning here

Been a couple of times now and can't fault it. Lovely food, and a great selection. Friendly staff. I'll be back again soon. 👍

The length of the queue suggests how good this place is, we waited around 20 mins to get in and be seated. Lovely food with so much choice and all you can eat. Everything was hot and nicely presented, staff constantly checking service areas were stocked and clean, waiters collecting empty plates so your table didn't get crowded. The choice of desserts was amazing and fresh with choice for anyone to enjoy. Will definitely go back.

Sadly NO option for NO stars, Food disgusting reheated basically ready meal very cheap ,,staff rude disrespectful impolite very poor service,food options plates chipped cutlery dirty ,one scoop for ice cream kept in dirty water ,toilets rarely flush hand basin taps rarely work ,seating far too close together could never have private conversation seriously requires council hygiene out !!!! Will never visit again

Always had a pleasant experience here, yes it gets busy but the food is great and can't fault the service either of collecting plates etc.

Love this place food is amazing and price is great

Really enjoyed this, food was fresh as it was busy. Loads of choice, and clean environment.

Arrived to a que, it's literally the only downside to eating here, you will que and you will wait. Everything else though great! Food choices are very good, all fresh, constant rotation, excellent choice selection and very well maintained! 10/10 worth the wait!, will be back again.

Visited the restaurant last night 3 adults and 5 children one just 10 months old ….. we ordered 3 refillables and 2 fruit shoots 2 tap waters … were told we were not allowed tap water we had to have have a paid for drink so two adults ended up with a fruit shoot as we just said we’ll have the cheapest on the menu as we genuinely didn’t want a drink as we had just had loads at level x across the road .. got asked what the 10 month old was having… with very few teeth she had already had her food , got told in a very rude manner that if the baby was to have even a chip we would be charged …. Got taken to the table where I then asked again if I could have a tap water which the waiter said yes that I just had to go to the bar….. yet 2 minutes prior to this I wasn’t allowed we had to pay for a drink! We went and got our food to which I was very disappointed with chicken was either hard or raw in the different dishes …chips were scrappy , chicken nuggets were solid and freezing cold ….. felt like the waiters were watching us 24/7 incase we dared to have a sip of each others drink! And just incase the baby decided to munch on a chicken parmo! I think for the £150 bill the service just be a lot better and not made to feel like your on surveillance…. Maybe a smile wouldn’t hurt off the staff …. The only edible thing in my opinion was the desserts! Definitely not worth the price will not be returning … plenty of nicer restaurants and service with a smile on linthorpe road!

First time here. Food gorgeous, staff pleasant. Very clean.

Very busy restaurant but worth the wait for a table for 6 people food was very good all different options staff helpful even though it was very busy will be back again

I honestly feel sorry for the chefs having to cook with ingredients that world buffet provides them. Slimy chicken, terrible quality pork and prawns that can’t have seen the ocean this decade. Everything was cold, you could confuse the sauces for cordial it’s so thin and the sweet and sour was bland and blander. The worst part has to be that for two adults and two children cost me almost £75!!! And the icing on the cake had to be that I wasn’t told the price and when I asked I was scoffed at!!

Excellent restaurant have been multiple times. Kids love going there for a treat tea, the deserts are amazing, and the variations of food is top notch, we recently went to celebrate my son’s 18th and he got a free birthday cake. Can’t recommend this place enough

Staff are rude. Food is disgusting and tastes like it’s been there for days. Vile. Will never go again. definitely do not try it!!

Food not bad but beware high restrictions making you pay adult price if your child is over 1meter high have spoken to trading standards and legal requirements high is 1.4 meters over that you may have to pay adult price

Information on flyer didn't suggest a 2 hr only stay. My family and I were having fun after paying full price for even an 11yr old, but we're interrupted as having overstayed. We had barely taken our main course before being asked to "start making our way out". We started at 12.50 pm and asked to make our way out at 14.44pm. Neither the website nor flyer stated maximum time frame for stay. It's really embarrassing and shouldn't be for the kind of place!!!

Mixed views on this place... Food was plentiful although the selection they boast on the website is optimistic at best. Large selection of Asian dishes, limited everything else. Large variety of deserts but I was too full by that point. Beer at around £5 a pint with one half price was decent. Staff seemed to have their own banter going so looks like an alright place to work at least. If you like Asian food then go for it. No bags available however
