Red Hot World Buffet Leicester has had a successful opening, serving over 25,000 people in its first six weeks. In this initial period, the venue has made 6,000 sushi rolls, which when stacked up on top of each other, would be twice as tall as Leicester Cathedral.
The 400-seater venue, part of the Highcross Shopping Centre, cost £2 million to develop, making it the most expensive restaurant in the city. Offering cuisine from 10 different countries, the venue has so far served over 1,000 pizzas, 600 litres of curry and 48 gallons of ice cream.
Great response from diners
“It’s been an incredible start for everyone involved with the venue,” commented Mellissa Rynn, manager of Red Hot World Buffet Leicester. “The response from diners has been great and they have been impressed with the quality of the food at a price which is great value for money.
“I have been especially happy with how much of a hit we have been with families. The first few weeks of the school summer holidays have been the busiest since we opened, and we predict this to continue right through until September.”
Adding to the multicultural cuisine
Jo Tallack, general manager at Highcross, added: “We are thrilled that our new Red Hot World Buffet has proven to be such a success with Highcross shoppers.
“We pride ourselves on our diverse food offer in St. Peter’s Square and Red Hot World Buffet certainly adds to the multicultural cuisine on offer at the centre.”
Red Hot World Buffet offers cuisine from across the globe including Chinese, Indian, Mexican, Italian and Thai, with prices starting at £8.99 on weekday lunches for the ‘all you can choose’ buffet, and children under 10 always eating half price.
