Now if you haven't been here before, it's a little different to say the least ... you are greeted by a very large buffet style display of yummy, fresh and extremely colourful array of food, both hot and cold.
Pick up a plate and help yourself to a multitude of different veggie dishes. Once you feel you have selected enough, you go to the counter and weigh - yep you read correctly, weigh your food. This is how they work out the cost of your meal. We also, at this point ordered a glass of house white and a cucumber and lime mojito. The wine was very nice, the cocktail however was not so good, but smelt lovely.
So the food.... where to start. We decided we would have two sittings - I am not sure if this is the norm or if it was just us being greedy, its just there was so much to choose from. So we plated up a small plate first and scoffed the lot straight away, swapping and tasting. It was very good and I must say I was very pleased with myself - I liked everything I chose which is a first for me.
Second siting ... Went for the carrot and prune curry with rice, very good indeed - didn't think I would like it as I am not mad on fruit with my savoury food but it was very tasty.
The pud - sticky toffee and cheese cake - both were lovely, I would have preferred the sticky toffee to have been warm but they were delicious all the same.
The overall feel to me is a perfect spot to go with friends. You all pay for your own food and drinks and you can have as much or as little as you like. I will definitely be going back. In fact, I may have to take my friends (one of which is a veggie) next week as I think they will all love it - there really is something for everyone (ok no meat - but I didn't even miss it!)
It is a very social space, complete with a large outdoor area - love it, was very very pleased.
Oh and if you do go, make sure you pick up a copy of their latest recipe book, you can have a go at making some of their dishes at home.
