Everything was great except one staff seemed the pot washer he was leaning on the wall just staring the whole hours and 10 mins we were there every time someone walked past he would be giving them dirty stairs and then he came and sat very close to us on the empty sofa made us very uncomfortable the reason we left early
Spoon World Buffet and Bar – BasildonWe went to Spoons for our son’s 12th birthday. We a mixture of vegetarians, adventurous, and fussy eaters, and everyone found food they could eat and thoroughly enjoyed. For the cost of the meals I believe we had our money’s worth with everyone returning for 2nd and 3rds. Our son enjoyed a combination of Chinese and Indian cuisine, and had plenty of choice - even trying a few new dishes too. Our daughter who is a very fussy vegetarian, tried a few new courses as well as having a plate consisting of a strange concoction of pizza, noodles, chips and Yorkshire puddings! Everyone loved the choice of desserts too, and even being “well and truly stuffed” from dinner, they managed to find room for 2 small servings of desserts. The restaurant was clean and the food was hot and well stocked, and low dishes were quickly replenished. The staff could have been better with their customers - rather than greeting us in an expected manner we were promptly told to pay before we sat down. We wasn’t told how the service worked, but we soon worked it out. One member of staff kindly offered to remove a chair for me to fit my electric wheelchair at the table which was appreciated, rather than sitting at an end. We stayed for almost our whole 90min table allocated time (as stated on our online booking terms). After reading reviews prior to going I was slightly concerned, but I need not of worried - it was a very enjoyable evening and we’re looking forward to returning again in the near future.

Spoon World Buffet and Bar – BasildonThe girl at the counter was very rude, dismissive and lacked simple customer service skills. Charged my 9 year old as an adult because she wore thick shoes. No level of discretion whatsoever

Spoon World Buffet and Bar – BasildonUnfortunately, the food wasn’t the greatest but the service wasn’t all that good either. The options for food was amazing but the quality in food was poor. On top of that all the servers were on their phones which isn’t the greatest look for a business, right through the hour and half that myself and my family were there. No music was being played just the sound of people’s voices, felt as though I was at a funeral. The servers all looked tired and like they just hated their jobs
Spoon World Buffet and Bar – BasildonAfter reading all the reviews we were a bit worried. We thought we would give it a whirl regardless. I have to say it was ok, if you eat anything and don’t have any dietary requirements. if you are vegetarian and gluten free it’s not for you as most dishes contain gluten and some of the vegetables contain shellfish /crustations. There was not a vegetable curry , which is a shame. Going around the foods twice I came away with green beans and some broccoli, which is disappointing considering it cost 20.00 pp. As a table of 5 it cost 96.00 without drinks , which considering what you can buy for your money in other restaurants is expensive if your not eating to its full opportunity. The staff work hard , dishes were replenished quickly and clearing away tables was done regularly. I wouldn’t go back but that’s due to the amount of dishes available for me bring v and gf but the others dining liked it.

Spoon World Buffet and Bar – BasildonBooked it for my sister's birthday. I've been here a few times, years ago and the food was good then. So we were really looking forward to the day, unfortunately the food was a big let down. No taste, stale and just overall a big disappointment. And definitely overpriced!
Spoon World Buffet and Bar – BasildonWe booked this for our son’s birthday. Unfortunately we experienced poor service and our plates were not cleared from the table at all. We also found the majority of food to be exceedingly salty, so salty that anlot of the dishes we couldn’t taste the difference and didn’t feel able to enjoy our time as we had wished at the restaurant. We have been regulars for years and contributed to the restaurant as customers many times.
Spoon World Buffet and Bar – BasildonThe food was awesome. Came to celebrate hubby’s birthday and we all enjoyed it so much h. Prices also reasonable. Only downside is staff being so miserable, no smiles just gloomy all round. But in as much as the food wa a great we had a good time. Would be good to teach staff customer service and positivity at work
