Reviews Overview

Most Liked

Diners rave about the remarkable value of the buffet, with many asserting it's better than waiting for a takeaway. The variety of dishes is a highlight, especially the crispy chilli beef, sweet and sour chicken, and duck pancakes. The food is consistently replenished, ensuring freshness at every visit.

Another favorite is the dessert selection, which is equally appreciated by patrons. Friendly staff contribute to the welcoming aura, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. The vibrant decor adds a lively touch, setting the stage for a fun meal with friends or family.

Most Disliked

While Swinton Buffet has much to offer, some patrons point out areas for improvement, such as decor that could benefit from a touch-up. Occasionally, diners have reported that certain areas need a fresh coat of paint. Some feedback mentions the need for maintenance on the wallpaper, which detracts slightly from the overall dining ambiance. However, these issues don’t generally overshadow the buffet's delicious offerings. Additionally, peak times can lead to overcrowding, resulting in a less relaxed environment during those busy periods.

A really good buffet place with affordable prices for the buffet and drinks. It recently had been refurbished, but the colour scheme for the decor is very vibrant and inviting. For the price of what you are eating, the quality of the food is spot on. There is such a diverse selection of meat, vegetarian, and dessert dishes suitable for everyone of all ages. It's a very refreshing alternative to any chain restaurant, and very much worth the price.

Great food. You normally find with these all you can eat buffets that food is left for ages. Not here. Fresh food is constantly being brought out. Great value for money

Came here last night for a family dinner after not visiting for quite a while. We always remembered the food and service being good but the restaurant being a bit dated and scruffy from when it used to be a pub. Well, they've put a lot of effort into a nice refurbishment, the carpets have been replaced with clean tiled floors and the old wallpaper replaced with paint and murals. The outside has been cleaned and refreshed as well. The service and staff were very nice and the food was just as nice as we remembered. They also take card payments now as well as cash. A very nice place to go for an inexpensive dinner.

The price is more than fair for the quality of the food, it's not all bells and whistles so to speak, but the food is good quality and plenty of different choices and a decent dessert selection. Been a few times and will continue to go, (unless the price dramatically goes up)
