What About Desserts?
The official sample menu does not itemise desserts. An earlier promotional listing for the Swansea branch mentioned items such as tiramisu, crème brûlée, a chocolate fountain and a soft ice cream machine.
Dessert choice can change, so call your branch if a particular dessert matters to you.
Lunch vs Dinner at Nines: What Is the Difference?
Lunch is cheaper because the menu is smaller. Nines states that lunch has fewer dishes than dinner, and some live cooking stations may not be open at lunchtime.
The saving is large. At Cambridge, a Monday to Thursday lunch costs £9.00 less than dinner. At Swansea, the same saving is £8.00.
- Choose lunch if you want a lower price and a lighter meal.
- Choose dinner if you want the full menu and every live station.
- Call ahead if you want a specific dish such as teppanyaki or sushi at lunch.
Nines Global Buffet Drinks Menu With Prices
Drinks are not included in the buffet price. You pay for drinks when they are served.
