  Six of us booked a table, arrived, paid upfront as requested and were shown to a large room in the back that was 80% full. The meat eaters in the party thought the food fantastic and have decided it was their favourite "eat as much as you like" in 'Bristol and surrounding area'. They had an enormous choice of food, some cooked fresh in front of them.The vegetarian - me, thought it was possibly the worst. This was because there was no V signs on the dishes and reading the label of what was in the dish did not reflect the ingredients. Starters for me, the choice was poor, soggy breadcrumbed mushrooms. mini pancake rolls and an onion ring, I couldn't find anything else.There was a soup that seemed vegetarian but on dishing it up it was full of prawns. The *one* main course tofu dish I could find was wedged between two meat dishes and someone had slopped the pork dish into the tofu. I didn't notice the pork until i had eaten half the tofu dish which was very offputting. There was a potato Indian dish that seemed vegetarian but the bowl was empty and was never refilled. I could not tell what desserts were vegetarian as there was no labelling at all on these.

  A round of drinks ( two beers, one glass of wine, three cokes) was a touch over £16

  The presentation of a cake and playing of Happy Birthday was a novelty at first. We asked if we could have a cake for my daughter's birthday and they were very nice in letting us have one but we felt guilty as we couldn't eat it as it was still frozen but at least we had the overly long Happy Birthday song played much to her embarrasment.

  I can see my family wanting to come back to dine here often but until the vegetarian dishes are labelled and stored separate from the meat dishes - as done in most other buffet restaurants then I doubt I'll return.
