"This place changed to worsen, I'm surprised it still standing. Upon arrival at the door, a4 paper tape it to the door saying Pay before you eat . with is fair enough, as you approach the staff they take you straight away to the bar so you pay for your meal, they take out the unlimited pop drinks with you need to spend more money. £2.80 for a pint of coca cola that didn't even taste like the genuine one, more like water down and the cheap ones you get from supermarkets for less than 50p, ridiculous. So the table for 2, they took us to the busiest and loudest corner, even when we politely ask if we can be seated in a quieter table. Staff looked at us funny and said no. With we founded very rude. As soon you sit down at the table you've been observed like crazy! whenever you go the staffs and manager has eyes on you. On the walls, there is a notice poorly made written by hand and once again a4 paper saying you can eat from 12 noon till 5.30 pm if you stay longer you be charged! very passive writing. This place has zero maintenances, you can see dust everywhere especially of the curtains I don't think they ever been washed. Mould at the ceiling and the walls you can spot from miles, not to mention poor chairs and tables. Cutlery is not presentable I had to wipe in the napkin before using it. Food buffet variety is nothing special and the desserts are horrible, cheap icecreams, most of the desserts are from supermarkets, they left in the trays for god knows how long. (You never know you might eat out of date food). Plates are chipped, some of them wet. Bowls bearly any. I and my partner agreed that the food was over salted and had too much pepper inside. It's a cheap Chinese if you can call that, use to be alright but now it's just a no, we won't be back here again. Prices for the buffet are somehow ok for lunch but then you need to spend more on drinks with the bill could be expensive. Lunch Monday Thursday £7.5 Adult £4.5 Child, Buffet at the evenings seems overpriced: Monday Thursday Dinner (5:30pm 10pm) £8.5 Adult £5 Child Friday Saturday: Lunch (12noon 5:30pm) £8 Adult £5 Child Dinner (5:30pm 10pm) £9.5 Adult £5 Child Sunday All Day and Bank Holidays (except good Friday): 12noon 10pm, £8.5 Adult, £5 Child What we noticed many people left leftovers, including myself as I had undercooked potatoes. The way this business is going soon or later they will charge you for leaving leftovers! As we were leaving the restaurant all staffs including manger had eyes on us, felt like they not trusting us. It's terrible to feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. After the food, we both had stomach pains and my partner felt sick, we unsure what could have been caused by it but we know for sure we go elsewhere and pay a little bit extra to have a proper Chinese rather than this that makes you sick."

Have been about 6 times. Each time I’ve been disappointed. I go at lunch times when shopping with a friend, each time the food has been barely warm, and very bland-but I guess that’s what you get for £7odd, id rather pay that than go to Mc Donald’s. I’ve heard people rave about the place. Maybe evenings are better

I’m not sure what they pump into this food but it surely can’t be good.. after about 2/3 small dishes.. you’re finished! It’s all you can eat but you won’t be able to eat any more! I believe this chain has closed now anyway and the owner is running the Peatmore branch instead.. which seems to be the same setup.. Gotta make their money back somehow!

Whenever I and my wife visit Swindon, this lovely eatery is on top of our list of places to be visited. We had lunch buffet on Saturday 15 February after driving almost non-stop from Southampton, a distance of almost 70 miles. The food is tasty and nutritious. The staff is friendly and approachable. Reasonably priced buffet. There is free parking for a few customers in the backyard if you drive in via the car park side near Wyvern Theatre. Comfortable seating. Clean toilets. Good bar. We have eaten here several times and we are never disappointed. We will keep visiting this awesome place.

After tonight’s experience I would never recommend this restaurant again, food presented awful soup looked like sick slopped in a pan next to sauces etc, food tasted different, very dry and not pleasant, puddings well what can I say... frozen cheese cake, Eton mess minus meringue and Barely a fruit to be seen, dried up sponge cake, staff arguing, and when we Paid we asked if place had been taken over and the women said it’s not good in here anymore is it (well what more can I say), £25 wasted and down the pan, problem around us also wasting lots of food, wasn’t even worth £5pp with these lack of standards the place will be closed down in no time View menu

Was horrible, Will never go again. Me and a friend went to get food from this Chinese. When eating they had a very small selection. And when eating the lemon chicken discovered it was awfully pink and chewy, we complained and staff were horribly rude, we refused to pay and they called there manager, They threatened to call the police on us after we refused to pay for raw chicken so we sat down and waited for the poke to arrive. When we went out to the front entrance the chef/manager with a covid mask on his chin, got all in my friends face saying this is how they cook the chicken and took it off us and ripped it with his teeth right in our faces. Manager shoved my friend when we went to the...

First Visit and only Visit today! Would never ever return! Upon arriving we were escorted to the bar to 7pay and told you have to pay in advance now did they once take payment afterwards? We normally visit another buffet but thought we would try this one out,what a mistake! They say you get what you pay for I didn't even get that : I though it would be Cheap and Cheerful? Wasn't Cheerful felt uncomfortable there both because most of the seating there's is knackered and the staff just don't make you feel welcome : Food is Bland and practically everything has Peas in it! No fun when you have a Pea Allergy : Though I get that is not there fault the few things I did have were bland and i swear s...
