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. [citation needed] The Manchester branch was known as Red Hot Buffet which was very popular with families eating out during weekends.
