Red Hot Buffet Leeds!

We love a good lunch out, we're not really bothered where we go but it has to be child friendly, of course. Child friendly can mean lots of different things, but in my book, this is what it actually means...

• good high chairs without ingrained stains on them.
• kids cutlery
• a loud background noise to drown out the screaming sound
• sympathetic staff
• child friendly food (not too spicey, not too, erm,dry?)
• QUICK!

One of the places we like to go to is Red Hot Buffet Leeds because it fulfills my very strict criteria!

So the way it works is, you are shown to your seat (whatever you do, book in advance, it gets very VERY busy) then you basically go up and fill your boots AS MANY TIMES AS YOU LIKE (or can). When we went, I could not believe how many different types of food there are, it works really well if, like me, you don't like Chinese food, but your husband doesn't like curry, so you get the best of both worlds! Here is a list of just a small section of their dishes..
Pork with Apple and Sage
Roast Vegetable Lasagne
Traditional Italian Osso Bucco
Chicken Tikka Masala
Chicken Korma
Shahi Lamb Curry
Lamb Rogan Josh
Bombay Potato
Balti Chicken

They also have pizza, mexican food, sushi, Thai food, French cuisine and a MASSIVE section of starters and desserts too. Don't eat breakfast on that day, that's my advice.

Our kids also love it as there is no pressure for them to finish something if they don't like it, they can simply leave it and try something else (not good for general life but fine on a special occasion).

There is such a hum of noise that it doesn't matter if your toddler has the odd screaming fit. I would say that most people come in large groups as it works well like that as everyone knows what they will have to pay so there is no worry about someone ordering lobster and someone having a bread roll then being forced to pay the same for a split bill (Emma you know what I'm talking about!).

Best of all, it's quick. If you need to rush through, you don't need to wait ages for your food to arrive as everything is instantaneous. Unlike other similar chains, the food at Red Hot Buffet is really good, genuinely good food, and I am quite fussy.

Give it a try, let me know what you think!
