Value

Pros:

• "I chose the premium was 31£ buffet unlimited, meat unlimited, including pineapple with cinnamon and caramel, so good."
• "Great value for money."
• "Very enjoyable, fantastic buffet and good service...but not as much selection as bam Brazil and everything has a similar taste which I think was the oil. Definitely recommend this as @ £22 it's good value."
• "Priced really well! Highly recommend and I will be going back."
• "Service with a smile and great value."
• "It's well worth the price and a revisit!"
• "Fair price, it’s around £40/£50 pp. including dessert."

Cons:

• "And very expensive if you didn't do the £40 wine deal,and the 12% service charge, got you by the curries and wine was only 8% Volume."
• "Base price of £25.00, I felt a little steep & charging an extra £ 5.00 for more meat when all you want is one extra chicken option we felt was a cheek."
• "WASN'T THE BEST MEAT I EVER TRIED, ESPECIALLY FOR THE PRICE I PAID FOR, I EXPECTED THE PROPER TENDER AND JUICY BRASILIAN MEAT BUT THIS WAS OBVIOUSLY IRISH MEAT."
• "Given the cost and built in tip (£43 a head for a meal and 1 fruit drink!), not great."
• "For the fact it’s overpriced I felt this review was necessary."
• "£22.95 in my opinion is too much for what it is."
• "For what we paid, for the food we got, wasn't value for money £25 starting price for a few small pieces of meat doesn't cut it."
