A NEW buffet restaurant held a VIP opening day yesterday, with guests treated to food from around the world, three robot waiters and even the mayor throwing an egg in his hat.
COSMO launched its latest buffet restaurant in Bournemouth town center in the St Peter’s area of St Peter’s Road yesterday.
Three robot servers (yes, really) patrolled the restaurant ready to pick up dirty plates from customers – and one of them, named Bella, can even sing Happy Birthday.
Robot Ketty is on hand to greet customers at the door and the third robot, called Hola, walks around the restaurant picking up dirty plates.
Guests loved the robots – with one food blogger in attendance saying it was “a unique and quirky way to please people”.

Fifty people are employed at COSMO in part-time and full-time positions and they are always looking for more staff.
Jaqui Rock, Chairman of the Bournemouth Chamber of Commerce who attended the opening event, said: “What is interesting is how many people this restaurant employs in the area.
The pudding, along with everything else, was outstanding
“We know most of the high streets have suffered, so it’s really great to see so many people here to rock Bournemouth – and the food is absolutely amazing; so diverse.
Mayor of Bournemouth, Cllr Bob Lawton, also present the night and there to cut the ribbon, said: “I wish COSMO every success – it is exactly what Bournemouth needs.
“It’s great so many jobs have been created and it’s a real boost for the local economy.
Cllr Lawton also offered some guests one of his hidden talents: tossing an egg into a toque on the head.
