This venue is primarily a restaurant, and is, I believe, the biggest in the country at around 1,000 seats. I haven’t eaten here myself, but it’s an all you can eat type place where you help yourself from various counters with different cuisines from all parts of the world.

That said, there is a good sized bar area on the ground floor with floor to ceiling windows on two sides. There are a few tables and chairs outside which is a good place to watch all the stag parties wandering past. Inside it’s a large, open-plan room with a large, square copper topped bar in the centre. The ceiling has a rather industrial feel with black paint and the various services such as air conditioning ducting in full view. The flooring too is almost black, lending a slightly gloomy ambience to the place. Some of the decor had an almost oriental feel to it, perhaps reflecting some of the food served, but elsewhere were partitions made out of old wooden boards covered in graffiti. Seating was mostly low leather chairs and there were numerous low hanging coloured lamp shades just inside the door.

Unfortunately there were no ales on tap, real or otherwise, although they did have Stowford Press cider.
