Oscars Brasserie - Menú

Took my 6 year old grandson for a 'grown up 'Sunday lunch and it was perfect. The staff were fabulous and really welcoming. The food was plentiful and good for a buffet style. I will definitely return with a family group.

Fantastic food for a set price, eat as much as you can, starters, roasts, deserts, cheese board and more and all of excellent quality. The establishment also caters to vegetarians and vegans so unless you're super fussy your bound to have a great experience.

Using the buffet means that all food tastes can be accommodated. The starter table is so extensive that one could have a starter and main course from that alone, and it is the starter that is outstanding. But there is always hot food with plenty of choice and lots of vegetables, and usually a roast which is carved for you. It is an excellent place to entertain anyone whose food tastes you are not sure of, or anyone with a very large appetite as you can make as many trips to the buffet as you like!

A treat from Mum for all her daughters and daughters in law. The best I can say is she enjoyed having us all together for a matter....but that's where the positives end. We met at 1pm on a Saturday. Barely anyone in the restaurant, so no atmosphere and I what I can only describe as an eating experience in a time warp (about 1973)! Starters from a mixture of odd seafood and salad or tinned tomato soup. Mains sad and kept warm meat selections accompanied by overcooked veg. But the 1970s vibe was totally complete with pudding, which was hot tinned cherries and pancakes. Oh my...!!! I don't mind a buffet, but this is one experience I won't be repeating!!

We have been coming here for the festive lunch for 15 years. After this year, we won't be back. The dining room was not ready, despite people booking months in advance. We were in queue for 20 mins just to be seated. There were not enough staff to either take drink orders or replenish food. If things ran out you had to find a member of staff, ask, and wait. We had to queue for 15 mins for the buffet, there was no chance of revisiting it at that speed. It also meant that we were hemmed in with a queue looming and chatting over us as we sat for the entire time we were there. Selection of seafood buffet noticibly reduced. Poor atmosphere, poor quality and poor experience.

We were delayed from entering the restaurant for 20 mins. Although nobody came over to explain why. Another customer informed us we should go back and wait in the bar. We actually couldn't get a drink in the bar because there was nobody serving. When we eventually got in the restaurant nobody bought any bread round there was hardly any cutlery ,no condiments . the beef was labelled as lamb and lamb was/labelled as beef. No sweet bowls. And had to ask twice for the tea and coffee . we have been coming to the Croydon park for some years and this was by far our worst experience also our friends who went the following week had the same experience and said they wouldn't be going back. Such a sham...

Sent both mains back as they were cold , and both our wife’s starters where cold from the buffet . You shouldn’t let people book a table at 8pm if u have cooked and prepared the buffet at 6pm . You can’t leave food under the heaters for 2 hours and expect it to still taste nice and warm. Once we complained that all the dishes were cold our plates were taken away and taken to the kitchen . There was no apology , no “can we get you anything else” . Then they took the food from the buffet that we mentioned was cold and returned it with a silver cover over it .THAT DOESN’T KEEP FOOD WARM! It will make any heat that was in there sweat the food out and make it go soggy!!! That’s standard food prep...

We booked a table for an early evening meal, imagine our surprise to be told by the maitre d that the restaurant wasn't ready to be opened to the public, as they were still setting up! Time Management Training might be a good investiment for this restaurant or an increase in staff. The waitress who eventually served us, failed to mention there was a Carvery and that you had to request the chefs presence to carve. We unfortunately failed to spot the roast joint, as it was hidden under a silver plate trolley, next to the desert counter! So our main course was very disappointing, being presented, in our view, in an unappealing way, as it was being kept warm, in heated trays, school meal style....

I always try to give a balanced view on any place we visit but this was a trip down memory lane I wish we hadn’t bothered with. On the way to the restaurant we were trying to work out how long it had been since our last visit and we think it’s probably around 20 years!! Whilst I may have got a little greyer on top and wider around the middle I was surprised/shocked to see that the room hasn’t changed one bit? Both the décor and the layout has not changed apart from looking even more tired and in need of a makeover. Having said that, I still think that the room as so much potential. The food industry is huge right now and I am certain there is a talented chef out there who would love to get h...
