We got to the restaurant late and the weather was miserable and my friend fancied chinese after consuming too much burger and chips over the weekend. As soon as we were led to our table we were immediately asked what we wanted to drink. We hadn’t even taken our coats off or sat down. We didn’t see a menu, it was assumed that we would be visiting the buffet. We didn’t know that this was a buffet place and wasn’t sure about the price of the buffet. The food was ok. It would have been better if the seafood section was still open for squid, mussels and other things to be cooked fresh on the spot. However, the section was good with a row for starters and a row of main with your usual choices. The dessert section was a bit disappointing. We all treated ourselves to jelly but there wasn’t any cake choices, lots of mouthfuls of biscuit type things and slices along with ice cream and fruit selection. I would liked to have had more choices with cream — chocolate eclairs. Not sure if our visit is a true representation of the place as we arrived late on a wet and windy evening. As Shaun P said, the best thing about the place is the drinks fountain which has Vimto and Irn Bru.

Its ok if you use Highlife card and book in advance(even if only 30 mins) then you get 2 for 1… I would NOT pay full price ever! Food is a great variety though but is warm and not piping hot. Deserts are hit and miss but great value soda fountain of the Pepsi variety, so fill your boots!!!
