Can't tell you how amazing the gluten free buffet nights are - if this is anything to go by, the regular buffet nights must also be equally great. I have very sensitive coeliac disease and up to now I've been ok.So much variety, each dish tasted fresh and so full of flavour. Everything was a great temperature, so many new dishes I'd never heard of. My favourite (as hard as it is to choose) likely has to be the saltfish fritter, closely followed by too many other things. I got the carrot halwa pudding which was very different to what I've had before but I'd also recommend this. It's like a rice pudding texture and has so much flavour. Very sweet and moreish.There is a man who is lovely who is available and was happy to answer any allergen related questions or just questions in general, greeted at the door and asked if we would like drinks before being offered to pick a table - we were one of the first few tables who arrived so at the 3:30 slot there was quite a lot of choice. It isn't the biggest space inside but there is a variety of seats, from benches to chairs.Huge accessible toilet (wheelchair friendly), not too far from the seated area. It can get quite busy and if imagine can get quite difficult to navigate if you are using a wheelchair, so for that reason on this occasion, I'd recommend the quieter 3:30 slot.They have a gardened area to wait in if it does get quite busy, but we didn't get to see this so I can't say a lot about it.The staff were very kind and worked tirelessly to check in with tables and were very keen to receive feedback.The decorations are lovely - there's even a hand painted mural on one of the walls and I absolutely love the bottle lights at the bar. Soft drinks very affordable, we got pepsi max which was served in a pint glass over ice.The quality seems brilliant, nearby parking is free for 3 hours although this seemed quite busy at 3:30pm when we arrived, so I'd aim to get there earlier although this was also a Saturday.I would absolutely go back and I even went with someone who isn't gluten free or coeliac and they said they rated it highly and would also return, just for peace of mind to anyone worried by my review being about the gluten free night specifically.Thank you so much to the venue for creating an amazing experience and for their inclusion of people with dietary restrictions. I can't express how grateful I am for the opportunity. Really hope word gets out about how great you are and that you're kept busy 🤞
