The Orient Express Buffet

The Orient Express Saturday Buffet was marked by having some tasty options, but a very narrow selection. There were such Chinese classics as chips and onion rings, and one steam try was for satay sauce. There were sarcasm aside, tempura prawns, and some shell on prawns were available. But that was the limits of any seafood options and veggie options were rounded out with one tofu dish, spring rolls, and an omelette. For meat eaters there was a chicken heavy selection, but a decent meal could be had. Plates are small. Okay it may cut waste, but it does require far more journeys to the buffet, and thus cramps any conversation at the tables. While the trays were periodically filled there were a couple of times that the seafood dishes were empty and there (unlike many Asian themed restaurants) was no rice on offer, and the noodles were rather runny. So taste good, selection medium, efficiency needs some work.

We were put at the back of the restaurant as we had a child with us , even tho there was only 2 other people in the building at the time, chairs pile up next to us and building work in the corner, food was Luke warm and barley any duck , how can you bring out fresh noodles and they are still Luke warm is a mystery, overpriced , The deserts were pitiful and the only cake must have been there a while as it was so dry it stuck to the roof of your mouth, When the chef then started to do some of his building work with his electric screwdriver near our table it really added to the ambiance...not, Then after doing some of his diy he went to the food and started to turn over the dishes, Over priced , poor quality luke warm food, Avoid

£17.00 for a buffet style meal with very little choice nothing to write home about. However, a few weeks later we decided to try the Sunday carvery and that was a big mistake also. The food was terrible, hard uncooked potatoes, raw carrots and squelched to nothing broccoli and cauliflower. In fact they poured hot water over the vegetables to try to keep them hot and this ended up in them serving slush. As for the meat portions, the very least amount of meat in any carvery I have had anywhere in the world. The gammon was sliced so thin it was see through and i got one of them and one slice of equally thing chicken. In fact i complained because this was not value for money at all so he cut me another half slice yeah thanks.
