Cosmo Eastbourne Review

After hearing many good things about the Cosmo Restaurant in Eastbourne I decided to check it out for myself with a friend.

It's a fixed price oriental buffet, and at 10.95 I found it quite expensive. When asked what to drink, I replied that tap water would be fine, only to find that it is not available. Instead you have to pay extra for mineral water.

The staff are very rude and are the most miserable group of people I've seen in a long time. However, one girl was very friendly, so hats off to her.

The seating is rather cramped with people always squeezing past to load up their plates. Don't take a date there for a quiet romantic meal.

The food itself is self service from a set of central heated tables. They claim to have over 50 dishes available, though most of them seemed to be side orders like chips, prawn crackers and spring rolls. The main food itself was nothing special. The noodles were cold and very greasy, the chicken and sweetcorn soup was very nice though. The duck pancakes were nice, but as everyone else was going for it, it was normally empty. For dessert you can help yourself to economy ice-cream or try some of the other items available.

All in all I was very disappointed. I found the food of a low quality and overpriced. However, it was very busy, all my friends really love it and lots of young families seemed to be there enjoying the freedom of having as much food as they want for a fixed price.
