Very much enjoyed the experience. We enjoy a good buffet very occasionally just for the choices you can make. All the food was tasty and there was plenty. Staff were friendly and certainly saw to our needs when required. We would go back again but more as that sort of novelty feeling. Very much enjoyed our night out.

Definitely eclectic place. Food was really good. Not overly large portions but not small either. We shared the fish and chips and a turkey club. Both very good.
