best place to eat in widnes has got to be the coterie, fantastic gourmet food.

Golden Pheonix is NOT an all you can eat style restaurant - it does have those set meals for 4 etc.. on the menu and stuff. And to my mind, it isn't that cheap, ceratinly not for a mob of students. It's nice tho!

Wasn't there an all you can eat chinese place in Halebank? Is that still there?

Chi Nar Garden above Oddies in Halebank

I believe it is gash, you get what you pay for, but very cheap. But, saying that, I haven't been there.

Last time I ate there I swear the sauce tasted like HP and ketchup. Not bad food but put me off a bit.

And that, your honour concludes the prosecution's case...
