Was Isla Harrison at Emperor a mag?
I'm not usually a fan of buffet food, but we decided to go based on friends' recommendations, and I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was very friendly, which made the experience even better. View all feedback.

Now under new management and renamed Golden Castle, the restaurant remains as excellent as ever. I visited on a quiet Sunday evening, but the buffet still offered a fantastic selection of hot, delicious meals. Everything was freshly prepared, and nothing looked stale or dried out. The staff was friendly as well. I'll definitely be returning soon!

Excellent value, decent diversity and easy to reach for the nextoft area. the cost for three buffets would be like a train for three to norwich. simple, efficient and tasty.

Surprisingly tasty! We went on a Tuesday lunch time only £7.50. We were a little unsure at first as it did not seem very busy, but the buffet look good through the window and a few couples entered before us so we gave it a go. The buffet though limited at lunch time was constantly replenished, hot and tasty. There was fruit, cake and ice cream for after so for the price it was well worth it, we will definitely go again.

The buffet is fantastic and now includes lemon chicken! Henry, the manager, is very friendly, and the prices are quite reasonable—especially during lunch, which is only £4 with a drink included.
