A day in the life of the Queen Elizabeth Lido Buffet -was it a British food letdown? See description

A day in the life of the Queen Elizabeth Lido Buffet , was it a letdown ? This quick walk-around of the buffet aboard Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth takes place on a relaxing sea day, when the ship slows down and guests drift in and out for something comforting and familiar. Compared to other areas of dining on board, the buffet is fairly minimal and, honestly, the weakest culinary link on an otherwise elegant ship. That said, the food itself was good, filling, and perfectly serviceable—it was never terrible, just unremarkable. Where the disappointment truly set in was the complete absence of British character. On a proud British cruise line, one expects to see staples like Branston Pickle, Piccalilli, proper English cheeses, cream crackers, and a thoughtful selection of English condiments. Instead, the crackers resembled standard Ritz-style crackers, and the cheese selection felt more like a basic supermarket spread from Walmart than something worthy of Cunard’s heritage. For those hoping for a taste of Britain, this was a letdown. The Pizza station also cut back by removing their premium pizza selections they offered a little while ago. This was a British food theme night, and never seen yorkshire pudding or sausage rolls once offered on the Buffet. Still, it’s important to say that this buffet does not define the Queen Elizabeth. The rest of the ship—and its dining venues—are absolutely wonderful, refined, and true to Cunard’s reputation. While the buffet may fall short of expectations, the overall culinary experience on board more than makes up for it, reminding you why the Queen Elizabeth remains such a beloved and beautiful ship at sea.
