Second time here now, great idea, reminds me of the malls in Florida where there are multiple food choices in one place. Great food and easy to order, very reasonable prices as well

Got to sat the food pit was quite a culture shock. The food was very good & service plentiful, but there's not a lot of instruction regarding how the place works etc. There are several vendors in the building each selling different types of food, and you order your food from whichever vendor you like, but you buy your drinks from the bar, with the vendors being separate businesses. The vendors give you a tool that beeps and vibrates when your food is ready, so there's not actually a great deal for the 4 waitresses to do, other than to clear away glasses & seat people. It was a good experience in all, but being a traditionalist I think I'd prefer to stick with straightforward service. Good place though.

Fantastic place to pick your food from a great selection of street food vendors. We had the Thai and it was lovely as was the service but the food from other places looked lovely also. Defo return

Amazing bar staff, great service on entrance from a lovely lady, gent on the bar was very kind and helpful. We have came a few times and overall this was the best experience we have had. We a ordered from taste the feast this time and it didn't disappoint, highly recommended the potato waffles with syrup. Thank you to all the staff who served us.

Great idea, 4 of us went , 2 had from the Greek kitchen and throughly enjoyed their meals. 2 of us had from the Durham sausage .1 enjoyed the lunch torpedo .I had the beef burger which I did not enjoy and left most of the pattie.
The main reason I have marked it down was the clearing of the table. After we had finished our meals no one came to take our trays away When the the extra drinks we ordered were brought to us they did not even take away the empty glasses.

Food really good, we tried the Greek place. One thing that could be improved upon is the order process. You have to order drinks and pay, then order from 1 food place and pay, then the other food place and pay.

Worth noting this is actually a number of independent businesses, so your experience will vary depending on who you order from.

In my experience it does "street food" well. Large portions of tasty grub at reasonable (for Durham) prices. Don't expect fine dining or impeccable service.
