Price
Pros:
"At £11.49 the price was fantastic too because I would have happily paid £20 at a top restaurant for that quality."
"Since we were using the breakfast passes we got our food for slightly less than the menu price, and got a tea thrown in too."
"Prices not too extravagant."
"Decent enough venue and prices aren't bad considering location."
Cons:
"Even by Center Parcs standards, this is massively over-priced."
"£15.90 for the worst fish and chips we have eaten out."
"Very overpriced (£16 for a cheese and bacon burger that you wouldn't pay £3.50 for from a burger van)."
"The price of drinks is also incredible ~£6 bottle."
"£16 for a burger and £20 for a bottle of house red is a bit too much when you are paying a premium to stay there."
"Food was seriously expensive, I was looking forward to this dinner and was heavily disappointed."
"£20 for a steak which is worse quality than a steak from Wetherspoons at a third of the price."
Food Quality
Pros:
"The most tastiest pork, stuffing sandwich had in ages."
"Delicious pub food (tried fish&chips, beef burger), kids menu and Ella's kitchen baby food pouches with warm station (great idea)."
"The food was great, basic but yummy."
"Ordered the beer battered fish & chips from the menu as it sounded nice. 3 out of 6 of us had it and it was absolutely amazing."
"The meringue roulade was excellent."
"Food well presented and tasty, relaxed setting. Recommended."
"We both had the Steak and mushroom pudding and it was delicious."
Cons:
"The 'ultimate' nachos were seemingly Doritos with some packet sauces on top."
"One of the worst roasts I have ever had disappointed to say the least. Raw vegetables, roast beef was burnt and what wasn't was fatty and only one extremely thin slice, roast potatoes were hard and dried up."
"Appalling food, really. The whole roast was out of a packet and veg boiled within an inch of its life."
"Food was very poor, service slow even though we were the only ones in there!"
"Food is expensive and not very nice. Chips were greasy and soggy."
"Food is rubbish. Very overpriced."
"Terrible food that looks like it has been frozen and then left under heat lamps before being brought to the table."
Service
Pros:
"Just been served by Tracie who was fantastic. Attentive, considerate and friendly."
"Service was very prompt, we were quickly shown to our table our waitress Sade was friendly and we weren't waiting very long at all!"
"Sarah, our waitress, was really nice and dealt with my humour and our dietary requests."
"The staff were very friendly and the service was quick without being rushed."
"Billy who works there was so attentive to our needs it made it even more special."
"The staff were very accommodating and welcoming and a credit to the company."
"The waitress service was excellent."
Cons:
"Would not recommend or go there again."
"The food took ages and the place was only half full."
"Service was a bit slow."
"Service to the table was slow and nearly non existent."
"Staff didn't seem to care that service was slow."
"Service staff were abysmal - lounging at the counter, chatting to each other... No one came to check whether we needed more drinks or to clear our plates."
"Service was slow. We received our meals at 9pm for a 7.30 booking."
Ambiance and Facilities
Pros:
"Visiting in there Christmas period was amazing. So relaxing and therapeutic with all the walks covered in dangling lights."
"Plus kids enjoy playing in the soft play while waiting for an order."
"The interior was pleasant and the American pool tables were fun to play."
"Super play area for children, good menu diversity, pleasant atmosphere."
"The atmosphere was calm and they operated app based table service so we didn't even have to leave the table once we were comfortable."
"Great place for a meal with children. Play area to keep the little ones occupied."
"Jessica was super nice, I think it was the best restaurant on site and it was nice sitting outside in the forest."
Cons:
"There is a play den for the kids which when I looked in was absolutely filthy."
"Also stifling hot - very little to no aircon and that goes for all the restaurants."
"Needs some sort of fly and bugs light outside... Air-conditioned would be great we had to sit outside as inside was just too hot!"
"Guess there are staff issues, as tables not cleared, looks dirty."
"The food quality was very poor for all four of us."
"This place is DIRTY, very unclean, dusty, greasy INFESTED OF MICE, and EXPIRED food are normally served to the customers!!!"
"The roast was pretty awful. The meat was fatty and cold, the potatoes weren't really roasted."
