The Banquet - Swindon

After tonight’s experience I would never recommend this restaurant again, food presented awful soup looked like sick slopped in a pan next to sauces etc, food tasted different, very dry and not pleasant, puddings well what can I say... frozen cheese cake, Eton mess minus meringue and Barely a fruit to be seen, dried up sponge cake, staff arguing, and when we Paid we asked if place had been taken over and the women said it’s not good in here anymore is it (well what more can I say), £25 wasted and down the pan, problem around us also wasting lots of food, wasn’t even worth £5pp with these lack of standards the place will be closed down in no time

Lovely place staff not that good food very cheaply done meats too tough Puddings lush ' ' '

I’m not sure what they pump into this food but it surely can’t be good.. after about 2/3 small dishes.. you’re finished! It’s all you can eat but you won’t be able to eat any more! I believe this chain has closed now anyway and the owner is running the Peatmore branch instead.. which seems to be the same setup.. Gotta make their money back somehow!

Was horrible, Will never go again. Me and a friend went to get food from this Chinese. When eating they had a very small selection. And when eating the lemon chicken discovered it was awfully pink and chewy, we complained and staff were horribly rude, we refused to pay and they called there manager, They threatened to call the police on us after we refused to pay for raw chicken so we sat down and waited for the poke to arrive. When we went out to the front entrance the chef/manager with a covid mask on his chin, got all in my friends face saying this is how they cook the chicken and took it off us and ripped it with his teeth right in our faces. Manager shoved my friend when we went to the entrance of the restaurant not even trying to leave) and then locked us inside the restaurant by locking the exit with their keys which is false imprisonment, we are only 16 so couldn’t do much. After getting in our faces and screaming at us I called my stepdad who came storming in because we were locked in and were sweating because of how hot it was inside and felt like we’re gonna pass out. Step dad finally got us out after about 45 minutes of being locked inside. Never had anything quite like it

Whenever I and my wife visit Swindon, this lovely eatery is on top of our list of places to be visited. We had lunch buffet on Saturday 15 February after driving almost non-stop from Southampton, a distance of almost 70 miles. The food is tasty and nutritious. The staff is friendly and approachable. Reasonably priced buffet. There is free parking for a few customers in the backyard if you drive in via the car park side near Wyvern Theatre. Comfortable seating. Clean toilets. Good bar. We have eaten here several times and we are never disappointed. We will keep visiting this awesome place.
