Panda Garden Buffet

You'll find this no-nonsense buffet right in the heart of Holmeside, where it's been quietly serving proper portions to anyone who rocks up hungry. The setup is exactly what you'd expect – hot plates lined with sweet and sour pork, crispy duck, fried rice, and all the usual suspects, plus a decent selection of vegetarian options that don't feel like an afterthought. At under fifteen quid for adults, it's the sort of place where families pile in on weekends and students fuel up before a night out. The food won't win any awards, but it's consistently decent and there's something satisfying about loading up your plate without watching the till. Just don't expect anything too adventurous – this is comfort food Chinese-style, done properly if not spectacularly.
