Why I love it

An award-winning all-you-can-eat inside the Corn Exchange, and genuinely one of the best-run buffets I've walked into. Live grill stations with cast-iron pans over open flame, bamboo steamers of dim sum refilled all evening, a curry line of slow-cooked pots from across Asia, and a six-tier chocolate fountain that never gets a rest. Go hungry, pace yourself, and don't skip the dessert counter.

What to try

  • Dim sum straight from the steamer
  • Grilled fish from the live grill
  • The curry line — try two, not one
  • The chocolate fountain (obviously)
