In the 13th Century marauding Mongolian warriors would prepare their evening meal on their upturned shields over a campfire. They would slaughter whatever livestock were to hand and add a combination of vegetables, spices and aromatic oils to create a huge stir-fry. That's exactly what happens at Khublai Khans - the stir-frying that is, not the slaughter.

After choosing a starter from an exotic selection, which includes kangaroo and wild boar (as well as more conventional offerings), you're then free to create your own dishes, selecting from the likes of ostrich, crocodile and zebra, as well as a wide selection of fresh vegetables, rice and noodles. You then complement your dish by creating your own sauce from a vast array of herbs, spices, sauces and aromatic oils. The chefs, armed with vicious-looking swords, then subject your creation to a furious stir-fry on the huge open hotplate. The best bit is that you can return to the barbecue as often as you like. However, be sure to leave room for a homemade dessert. A three-course pre-theatre menu is available every evening from 6pm until 7pm for £12.95, whilst the 'Full Feast' is priced at £20.95. Khublai Khans is a huge hit with groups, especially celebratory parties where the centre of attention sits atop their own throne garbed in traditional robes and hat. This is a culinary nirvana for those with a healthy appetite and a taste for the exotic.
