As a table of 7, we were looked after really well. The waiting staff were great, attentive and nothing was too much bother. I liked the fact that if more than one of the party ordered the same thing, only 1 plate was brought out and when that was gone, they changed it for the next one. This is great for reducing food waste. We got everything we ordered and the food tasted great. Good portion sizes without feeling that you've over indulged (although who doesn't!?) We had the o'deuves, duck AND mains. Thank you all for a pleasant experience and a merry Christmas!

Enjoyed a lovely meal at Lanterns with friends. Despite it being very busy the staff did well to cope and were very attentive. First time visiting and would happily return.

Not the best!

First time visiting and would not return. Food had now flavour and everything tasted the same. Staff very grumpy and everything seemed like a chore.

We were a party of 4 who went early evening on a Friday. We went for the all you can eat buffet option. You order from a menu and the food is cooked fresh to order and brought to your table. Everything we ordered was delicious and hot. They recommend you order less food but order as many times as you can manage. There's no limit on the amount you order, but they will charge extra if there's lots of food wastage, which is a good thing in my opinion. Service was efficient and friendly. Would definitely recommend.
