Jimmy Spices















 Jimmy Spices, hands down one of my favourite restaurants a good 3 years ago. 

Not any more...

Having recently visited for a friends birthday dinner in Wimbledon, then again in Epsom as part of a celebration dinner for University hand-in deadlines, the continental buffet has dropped dramatically in standards.

Quality of food was slacking, the chicken didn't even taste like chicken... Rather a chewy pink/white meat. The drinks and dessert helped flush down the food... But even then 'fresh' cut up fruit looked bruised, cake was stale and the apricots looked as though they were straight out of a Del Monte can.

Staff were rude, and despite booking a table we were squashed onto a 4 seater table with 6 paying customers, although we were waiting for 4 MORE people we were refused to change tables, being told we would need to pay for the extra people if they didn't turn up... As though we were lying in order to gain extra space. After creating a fuss and having a word with the manager, an hour later we finally moved.

Although some chefs here cook food in front of you, the quality of food is dire, the staff are rude and your £13.99 is better spent elsewhere. 

Overall: 1/10

Simply for the presentation of the restaurant.
Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone.
