Chinese Hot pot and BBQ all you can eat for £17.50 per head. An experience in itself - choose the hot pot to cook your own food (all kinds of veg, meat and fish) in varying broths, or the hot plate for BBQ style. Then eat with all sauces provided. Fun, tasty and different. They give you a list to write your choices on. Most people in here are Chinese which is always a good sign.
