Cosmo is a chain of 19 buffet restaurants in the United Kingdom. Its branch in Valley Leisure Park, Croydon, was formerly the biggest restaurant in the United Kingdom.[1] The first location opened in 2003 in Eastbourne, and the chain currently operates 19 restaurants, 14 of which are located in England,[2] three in Scotland and one each in Wales and Northern Ireland.[3]

The restaurants include live cooking stations where customers can have food freshly cooked.[4]

History

The first Cosmo restaurant opened in Eastbourne in 2003.[3] Between 2003 and June 2012 Cosmo opened in Bristol, Chatham, Coventry, Croydon, Margate, Romford, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Wolverhampton, and Swansea. A branch opened in Croydon in November 2011, and at the time was Britain's biggest restaurant, with a seating capacity of 800.[citation needed] In July 2012, Cosmo opened restaurants in Reading, Aberdeen and Belfast.[citation needed]

In 2015, Cosmo was officially voted third in the CGA Peach Brand Track Survey for "Customer Satisfaction" and 2nd for "Value for Money".[citation needed] In 2016, it opened restaurants in Oxford, Dublin and Southampton. Its branch in Oxford won very positive reviews. The Oxford Mail said: "Cosmo definitely has the wow factor" (June 23, 2016)[citation needed] while monthly glossy OX Magazine said: "There is serious fun and genuinely great food to be had" (August 2016)[citation needed].

The restaurant serves up more 150 dishes from around the world, including China, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, Mongolia, Singapore, Vietnam, England and India.[5] Examples of dishes include sushi, sweet and sour pork, pizza, salmon fillet in black bean sauce and Chicken Korma.[6]
