China East Buffet

Bargain lunch. Friendly service. Not the best Chinese in the world but fine for a quickie at lunchtime.

The quality and range of food here is unusually good for an all-​you-​can-​eat buffet, particularly at dinner. The teppanyaki is prepared quickly and skilfully, but nearly all of the dishes are cooked with a light touch even the deep-​fried ones.

This a good buffet with lots of choice. There is a tepanyaki area, where you choose your meats and have them cooked in front of you. There are plenty of starters, mains and desserts. They have a chocolate fountain, but they do run out of chocolate for it sometimes. The fritters are not great on a buffet as they sit and go soggy.
Crispy duck seems popular and you often have to wait for this to be refilled.
There is plently of seating and a private room.
We booked the room for my birthday at no cost.

This is a new all you can eat buffet restaurant situated in the new retail development on the old british aerospace site on the A1.
I have visited on 3 occasions now both at lunchtime and during the evening.
The food is great, there is a large range of dishes, from starters to deserts, the food is very fresh and restocked all the time. There is plenty of seating so getting in is not a problem and it is nicely spaced so you aren’t on top of other people.
As well as the normal buffet there is a cook your own counter where you can select your meat or fish and cook it to your own taste on a hotplate and add what ever sauce you like.
A lunch for two with soft drinks cost us around £15 which is very reasonable.
