A GROUP of friends paying for unlimited amounts of food are thrilled about only being able to eat as much as they would normally.
Donna Sheridan and others are remarkably enthused about theoretically being able to eat until they rupture but in practice only consuming the same amount as a conventional dining experience.
Sheridan said: “‘All you can eat’ is an amazing concept. We can stuff our faces like ravening pigs and no one will judge us because they’re here for the same thing.
“There’ll be no squabbling over the bill, because everyone pays a flat fee, and we can all try each other’s dishes without the men complaining, because they can just go and get more – an infinite number of times!
“And the range of food is so eclectic: Chinese, Indian, Italian, all the major world cuisines. It’s brilliant that they can offer so much variety so cheaply without it all being pretty mediocre.
“But the real draw is feeling you’re beating the system with your gluttony. I’m going to have sweet and sour pork, spinach and ricotta cannelloni, chicken jalfrezi, pizza and spring rolls all on the same plate. And I’ll finish with two desserts. F**k it, make it six.”
Restaurant manager Steve Malley said: “It is indeed mysterious how we can offer unlimited food for a fixed price, until you factor in cheap ingredients, slopping it all into a heater cabinet and humans’ tendency to vomit before they literally pop.
“Sometimes I feel sorry for our gullible customers, but then I remember they are slobbering cheapskate beasts.”
