Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the dessert, with the toffee banana fritters and a Chinese banana dessert with sesame singled out as crispy and sweet, and children especially liking the ice cream. Close behind are the savoury dishes: salt and pepper prawns, garlic and pepper chicken, beef in black bean sauce, satay chicken, dumplings and chicken curry each get a mention, along with crispy duck pancakes and sweet and sour chicken. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and attentive, and several reviewers call the buffet value for money and the restaurant nice and cool in hot weather. One reviewer was less impressed, calling the food not fresh or hot, the plastic plates with a rubbing pattern unpleasant, and the toffee banana disappointing. That diner also said staff did not explain payment beforehand and that a bank holiday charge was higher than expected without being specified. Another gave a middling verdict, suited to a big meal at a low price for those not too particular. One table was brought a birthday cake.

“My wife and I visited after a hiatus of a few months and we were pleasantly surprised it was nice and quiet when we got there. Temperature inside was cool as it was pretty warm outside. All your usual offerings were available. I love the satay chicken! The dumplings too. Staff were friendly as always. Only take what you're going to eat! Don't waste food!”
