Pizza Hut Buffet

Posting here to hopefully get some quick answers.

So I will be going to Pizza Hut for the buffet, at the weekend with my child for one of her friend's parties.
There's a few of us going, and I've had a look online and at weekends it is 15.99 per adult and 10.99 for children !
I am absolutely not going to eat 15.99 worth of pizza! And I doubt my child will eat £11 worth.
Would I be unreasonable to just pay for my child and maybe have a slice of pizza or 2?
I know they charge different per head to stop this. But how do they police this ??
It's not a huge deal, but I would definitely like to know before I go, and like to know if other people do this or not ?
Thanks !

No you can’t pay for a child and then eat a few slices of their pizza. You clearly can’t afford to eat out. Don’t embarrass yourself as you’ll get caught out. Take them to McDonalds for a happy meal instead.

Well that's rude 🤣 I can definitely afford to go, otherwise I wouldn't be going..
it's not embarrassing either. All I'd eat is a slice or 2 of pizza, and I don't think £15.99 is justifiable for that amount. But about say 5/6 slices between us is definitely more so the £11 mark.
How do they police this ? Do they have a staff member to watch each table ?? 😆

Not unreasonable to just pay for your dd, but very unreasonable to then have a slice or two.

Just buy one pizza between you instead.

It used to have free drinks and a basic ice cream when I took mine so was more than worth it.

The buffet is amazing but yes you can pay for your own. You must not so much as even LOOK at the buffet of pizza or take any off anyone's plate or they will charge you

If the Pizza Hut staff see you eating the pizza they'll charge you, even if it's just one slice.

Just buy a pizza from the menu and share with your daughter. You don’t have to have the buffet
