"First time going, won't be the last! The food was yummy yummy yummy! More cafe style place, maybe take kids for dinner but not where you'd go for a dinner out with friends. Suitable for a quick lunch. They do take away too. Service was good and staff lovely."

"We've randomly found this place and thought we would try it (mainly because it had a funny name :p). Chubby Buddies did not disappoint a bit: excellent customer service + just AMAZING food! We've tried a bit of everything - the fried rice, dumplings, calamari, chicken ribs, pork belly - and we were happy with everything! Thank you for the good food!"
