"Travelling back to Lancashire from Poole we were ready for a meal and spotted the Emerald on the corner so turned around and went back: we were so pleased that we did because to our very pleasant surprise they offered the tea-time buffet referred to by others which looked like great value and saved the torture of having to decide what to order so in we went.We were warmly welcomed and shown to a table in a plain but clean dining area where there were, clearly, a number of local diners who we assumed went regularly so a good sign. We briefly scanned the menu, chose our mains and ordered a bottle of wine; it was so easy.The food arrived and we were not disappointed because everything was very tasty indeed. The starter portions were meagre and I would have like more ribs and seaweed especially but considering that we had already been given yuk sung, (also known as meat wool, meat floss, pork floss, beef floss, abon, pork sung is a dried meat product with a light and fluffy texture similar to coarse cotton, originating from China) which was delicious and then followed that with our mains with fried rice and chips then (fresh) pineapple fitters we couldn't complain.Overall it was a super, unexpected experience which was excellent in terms of taste and value; even the wine wasn't too expensive.I don't know when we will nect be travelling this way but when we do it will be the Emerald for us."

"I've been an Amazon user for over ten years and I use online shopping websites almost daily. Until now... I've never once left a review! For anything! The cost of the burgers, fries, drinks and/or hotdogs tended to put me off eating in this place....It's probably the most expensive fast food' joint anywhere in the UK. But having grown tired of cold burgers from Macdonalds and with the Burger King XXL Bacon Burger being just as expensive, I decided to give it a go. I had a double cheese burger with bacon. My first surprise was the choice of extra toppings. Everything from lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, ketchup, onions, jalapeños... That all comes included with the adverts used cost of the burger. Mine was £8.65 with mayonnaise and mushrooms. I waited about six or seven minutes for my number to be called. The staff were smiley, friendly and very Americany. . The burger came in thickly wrapped tinfoil. So if you wanted to take it home, it seemed as if it would stay pretty hot for a good twenty minutes. Not many first tastes' stay with me, but this one will. For the price, I expected it to taste like a little slice of heaven... I was not disappointed. The bread was extremely fresh, soft and doughy. The burgers were both tender and extra juicy. The two slices of American cheese were melted nicely (and didn't taste like rubber The generous six slices bacon were...Crispy!! The mushrooms and mayo just added to the flavour of what was, without doubt, the best burger I have ever eaten, anywhere. In total, I've spent close to a year in Florida over the past 20 years. The U S of A sure know how to make a burger! But even over the pond, I never found a burger that could even come close to the texture, flavour and quality of this little bad boy. There are no added salts or rubbish in the burgers, so I didn't get that sluggish' feeling after wolfing it down. If you're thinking it's expensive then you're right, it is. But if you're a burger lover... is it worth twice the price of a Big Mac or equal to the cost of a Triple Whopper? It's a. No-brainer. It's worth every penny. Not sure about the fries but you could always grab some for £1 from Macdonalds on your way out (they're about £4.50p in Five Guys). If you're in or around a Five Guys, go grab a double bacon burger. And if its at the Merry Hill branch in Dudley, West Mids, you'll probably find me in there... I'll probably be twice the size by then, but hey, I'll go out on a high. Peace y'all. Have a great day! And be kind to each other."

"Having read a recent review in the local free newspaper stating how this was a resturant with relaxed and informal setting, me and my family decided to give it a go.As we walked in at the front of the resturant was walked past a black board saying buy 1 main course and get 1 for £1, so we thought even better. On arrviving in the resturant we were greeted by a young man and asked where we would like to sit.We were then given the menu and ordered some drinks, however when we read the menu we all thought that the food would be very basic as this is the view the menu tends to give.For starters we ordered the 2 seasame chicken and 2 soup of the day, and then for our main course we ordered 2 rump steaks, a sirlion and chefs curry.But to our amazment when our starters arrived they hot and presented to that, to be matched to a higher end resturtant.When our main courses arrived they were much the same in standard and quality, my rump was amazing, full of flavour and cooked to absulute pertection, I was a little disapointed that the tomato and mushrooms were a little on the small size, but as my partner reminded me 'what do you expect when its buy one get one free '.After we had all finished we were then asked if we would like any desserts or coffee, with us all freely full to bursting we decided not to.When it came to paying the bill we had to go to reception desk in the main hotel, having settled to bill we all went home feeling very.Having drove past the hotel on many occacions and thinking that the resturant was closed, I am very happy that we saw the review and gave it ago.Me and my family would definatly go back sometime soon."
