Spoon World Buffet & Bar Reviews Summary

Seating and Atmosphere

Pros:

• "Didn't book a table but got seated in about 10 minutes."
• "Even on a Monday the restaurant was very busy."
• "Barely any wait to be seated, super friendly staff."
• "The general restaurant was really clean and the food areas were exceptionally clean, which I was very impressed with."
• "As it was Saturday at 6pm I would advise booking for 6+ people. We were seated very quickly as only 2 of us."

Cons:

• "It is better to book ahead because its always full and one may have to wait in line for free seats."
• "The only thing I would comment on to improve would be the closeness of the tables and space around the restaurant as I felt quite close to other guests."
• "There needs to be more hygiene, There is no hand sanitizers and everyone is touching the serving spoons, and the floor gets very messy."
• "I don't think it's fair that for the same price.first they reduced the staying for one and half hour then if it's a special day they can just tell us 'sorry,today one hour only'."

Food Quality and Variety

Pros:

• "The food was always fresh and in good supply. Very tasty too."
• "Great choice of tasty food, plenty of choices and variety."
• "All the dishes are of high enough quality and are regularly replenished."
• "Food tasted great."
• "Received a pleasant welcome from staff upon entry. I had one of the best cooked steaks here."

Cons:

• "On the other hand, many of the foods are really oily and may not be so healthy."
• "Absolutely no hygiene. The hygiene level is absolutely 0."
• "Except for the Chinese starters and deserts, the food was poor. The chicken in most of the other mains was dry."
• "I tried a lot of the food and everything was pretty bland or over done or just not particularly nice."

Service and Staff

Pros:

• "The staff were helpful and friendly."
• "Found the staff very polite and helpful."
• "Received a pleasant welcome from staff upon entry. Staff worked to clear tables once people had finished their meals & staff were wiping round the keep warm dishes to keep all clean & tidy."

Cons:

• "I personally didn't enjoy spoons I found the food to be the same quality as what I can purchase from Icelands. (Cheap and cheerful).There was no service I paid when I arrived."
• "The staff just chills among themselves. I was missing cutlery on my table."
• "Service was shocking, so hard to get water or anyone's attention."

Price

Pros:

• "The price is good too (we've been to buffets that cost £10 pp more that spoons)."
• "clean fast seating reasonably prices you get dessert too in the price."
• "Came here with the family (2 adults and 2 kids) and the bill only came to under £45. That's for a three course, all you can eat buffet."

Cons:

• "You need a very big appetite to make spoons worth while. £19.99 a plate and £3.00 for a refillable glass is a lot."
• "They make you pay before you dine in."
• "The price for one person is more expensive than other buffet restaurant."

Location and Parking

Pros:

• "As the restaurant is on high street there is no own car park however there is pay and display near by parking and the restaurant does give you 2 hours free parking when you show your parking ticket."

Cons:

• "It would be ideal if they have their own parking."

Ambiance and Setting

Pros:

• "Nice ambiance, great customer service, tasty food, Definitely recommend."
• "was told we might have to wait half our but only waited 10 min but well worth the wait."

Cons:

• "However, I hope they have ac in the summer! When I came here, it was packed to the brim. I can understand the owners want to make money, but you're barely an arm length away from the tables around you. With all that body heat, it was uncomfortably hot!"
