Red Hot Buffet

You get what you pay for at this place. The prices are very cheap for an all you can eat buffet. Good venue for big party as it could hold a lot of people. The decor is a bit dated but it has a good variety of food from Italy pizza to your English roast. The best part of the restaurant has to be its desert area. Here you can get freshly made America style pancakes and there's even an ice cream parlour with a wide range of choices, to create your own ice cream sundaes.

11 months ago I posted a great review but oh my god has the place changed, the staff are no longer smart and friendly and you no longer get greeted at the bottom of the stairs, we had to wait for three others to get shown to a table even though we were the first down. Then the food, or lack of it. The dishes are very limited now, I started with Sunday roast, the mash was powdered water and looked more like wallpaper paste, there was no veg to be had so I ended up with frozen Yorkshire pudding, beef and gravy which was actually ok. Next I tried the American counter which only had chicken nuggets, chips and onion rings, you could order a beef burger but I heard someone already complaining of the lack of flavour. Next I had chicken tikka masala with white rice and buttered naan, The rice was ok, the chicken was very rubbery but nice, the problem was the sauce, it tasted like the sauce you get with spaghetti hoops or cheap tomato sauce. Dessert: the old dessert section is now closed off by drywall and has been moved towards the seating area, the ice cream machine isn't there anymore you can get an ice cream from the pancake counter albeit with a very small amount. They no longer do the ice cream sundaes or have the ingredients to fill pancakes, replacing strawberry mousse with cheap Jam, other desserts include hard scones or half cut chocolate mini rolls. We paid £13.99 each for the pleasure and can honestly say we won't be returning until major changes have occurred. It needs refurbishing, fresh staff and more choices, very very disappointed

I went with a friend to celebrate her birthday and it was incredible. Lots of food, literally. From everywhere. And the people who work there are very nice. Don't forget to try their pancakes: they're incredible. I tried the three chocolates pancake and it was out of this world. I'll go back for sure!!

The food is pretty grim. You gotta find one that had just been made or is hot enough. Its pretty all round bad, but for 6 pounds all you can eat i wouldnt expect more

We've been going for awhile now, as my children liked it. It's been getting worse. After today's visit, we won't be going again! I was told that my children were going to be half price! at the end I was told my daughter would be charged for an adult, she's 11!! and definitely hasn't eaten an adults portion. I'm not really bothered about the money. The quality of food has been getting worse. Only a small choice of desserts. Looks like this place needs investment quick or its likely to close down.

I have been to the buffet before which was previously known as Red Hot Buffet and the quality of food has definitely gone down. Poor selection of food during dinner time. Many live cooking stations weren't operating. Sushi bar was sad and I wouldn't dare to try the raw fish there. Got my noodles burnt at the noodle bar. Prepared food weren't heated properly. It was cold for some and the rice was completely dry and tasteless. Pan cakes were of reasonable standard but that is about it, which made it the highlight of the night I suppose. Overall, standards have gone down and I don't think it is worth the money. Sorry.

The food was cold and awful. Quality is not a thing here. Over half of the food outlets in this place were shut, so you were left with VERY limited choice for £15 per person! The place looks great from the outside, but once you are in... You can tell you have made a mistake! The chairs are the type you'd expect in a children's dining hall. It feels like everything once you are in has been done for the lowest possible price. We felt it looked great on the outside of the restaurant, but on walking downstairs and seeing the typical crappy toy dispensers, I knew I'd made a mistake. As I say the food was cold, they even served raw chicken to eat?! I didn't believe it either! This is the most damming review I have ever written, please avoid this place in its current form!

All you can eat, literally. Went on Sunday about noon and it wasn't too busy. Plenty of food choices to be had, there is something for everyone. The quality is okay. The key is to take small amounts as by the time you get round and back to your seat, your food could be cooling down quite a bit. Try to sit in the main area not the off chutes as it can be freezing! would be good in summer mind you. Take a jumper. The toilets are up a flight of stairs and its literally like being outside. Ridiculously cold in January. Overall, though, we enjoyed it.

Visited yesterday at 6pm. Nice setting and polite waitress but that was the only good points! Lots of empty food areas and of the food that was available much of it was luke warm and dried up. It's promoted as a World Buffet but it seemed half the world buffet was missing! My partner found the member of staff very rude at the serving area when she asked a simply question about something. When we came to pay and said we didn't enjoy it and reasons why, we were given a 20% discount but it was still not worth the remaining price we paid. A fancy setting doesn't mean a thing if the food and service isn't up to scratch!

Terrible, the ledge between our table and the food was covered in thick dust and at least 2 dead insects. Several stations were shut due to maintenance work but we didnt find out til we were in. One of the chefs served me a cold dinner which he forgot to put the meat in. Then when you complain he purposely burns it to take the piss cos you complained. Iv given it one star only because the lady making the pancakes was lovely and the pancake she made.was the only good thing about my meal.
