Why promote a restaurant with a voucher scheme ? on arrival the vouchers were not accepted for a party of 12 mid week dinners therefore several of the party left on principle. An attitude prevaild customers are not welcome.

This place offers a lovely range of chinese and thai food. We don't normally do buffets at restaurants because you have to go and get your food and when there is something left, it isn't that hot so doesn't taste great. That aside we thought we'd try it here and it was lovely. They brought it straight to your table,... More

I have visited the LL on numerous occasions with friends, and with my wife and family. The food is cooked to order, fresh and extremely tasty! It is excellent value at £13.90 a head during the week and £15.90 on a Friday and Saturday. It is not buffet style, therefore the food is always fresh and piping hot, you are... More

Never been charged for soda water anywhere. Plus there was a 10% service charge... More

We ate there last night (Wednesday). We had from the set menu which meant we were able to have lots of different dishes. I was nervous that the food would be naff given the "buffet" style, but I was really pleasantly surprised. The food was all gorgeous, and you could order more of whatever you liked. The portion sizes were... More

Family of four ate on Saturday night from buffet menu. Great idea and allowed us to try things that we wouldn't normally try. Staff were good and helpful and were happy to bring more food. There was plenty of food to eat but felt that quality was suffering. Ribs were fatty, soup v greasy etc If I went again I... More

Ive been to this restaurant numerous occasions. It offers extremely friendly and efficient service, excellent food choice and amazing value for money. Every time I have been there has been excellent consistency with the food and I would recommend this restaurant to everyone. It is child friendly and is set in an extremely comfortable environment.

Eat here on a Friday night. Restaurant was almost full and dined off a la carte rather than pig out on the buffet. Food was average at best. Place lacked atmosphere and it was not the best Chinese I have had by a long shot.

Some of the food was very good, some of the starters were rather deep fried in batter and rather greasy, but still quite good. Crispy duck appeared to be deep fried duck, but still we all enjoyed it. The price is very good considering you can eat as much as you want, particularly with the deal that includes wine. Service... More

The buffet menu is all cooked fresh and you can eat yourself silly with a decent bottle of wine for about £20
