Restaurant · Bristol
Cooking your own dinner at the table turns out to work well with children — you order through the QR code and the food arrives within minutes, so nobody waits while hungry. It's à la carte rather than buffet, and portions come far bigger than expected; two people can easily order enough for a family of four, with around £35–40 covering a lot. The pot bubbles away right at the table, so smaller ones need watching. Ask for the half-and-half broth: the spicy side is genuinely fierce, and some find the heat swamps the flavour. Staff are patient with first-timers and will walk you through it. Premium beef, ribeye and the sesame sauce draw the most praise, plus jasmine tea and a nice fruit selection. High chairs, a kids' menu and vegan options; tables run to a 1 hour 45 minute slot, and popular items can sell out by early evening at weekends.
