Definitely do not recommend if you are coeliac or allergic to wheat. The staff weren’t very knowledgeable and falsely informed me that a separate oven was used for the gluten free pizza and that there was no cross contamination. I later went into anaphylactic shock and then was vomiting for hours..

Charged £21 each more the buffet the pizza was like cardboard you could actually snap it. I had 2 slices and left. How they can justify the price I don’t know. Now me and my girlfriend have just wasted £42 and we’re going to have to eat somewhere else. We’re here for the weekend I think tomorrow we will go outside of Thorpe park for our food.

Genuinely wouldn’t waste your time/ money. £21 for bland supermarket pizza and tasteless pasta. Not a nice atmosphere in the restaurant. Had a nice blonde lady and nice indian( I presume) man in the actual restaurant who were lovely but the kitchen staff make you feel uncomfortable. I went around 12pm and there was not much options to pick from. If it was £10 I wouldn’t be complaining but it’s an absurd amount for the awful quality food. Came with my boyfriend who can eat for a whole family and is also not a fussy eater and he was done after one plate.

Wasn't expecting a lot but even so, this was terrible. It's £17.50. The pizza is worse than the cheapest supermarket frozen pizza and the pasta was inedible. The restaurant is bleak with little natural light. I'd be fine with the quality if this was £10 but £17.50 is obscene. Teenage staff running it were doing a fine job and it was kept clean. Opted for here as at least we could have quantity over quality, and there's not a whole lot of choice in the park.

The service of the people working there is awful. Ordered a takeaway pizza after 30 minutes of waiting I asked the rude girl at the front where the pizza was she told us to go ask the kitchen ourselves so we found someone else in the restaurant walking around and asked him if he could help us. He too said we need to go to the kitchen ourselves to ask where our food was. They had only just put the pizza in. I asked for a refund because I wasn’t willing to wait any longer and she basically told me she couldn’t give me a refund and to leave and come back later to ask for the refund… she would not give us a receipt either. After a lot of back and fourth she finally asked someone to do the refund for us. Hopefully the refund actually comes through. Do not go here. They will ruin your experience of the Thorpe Park

Alright restaurant, but personally wouldnt recommend. As it says, it has pasta and pizza. About 3 different types of pasta and 4 different pizzas to choose from, plus a selection of things such as garlic bread. There's a salad section and drinks. Food seem like they were canned or bought from a store to then be heated. You're pretty much guaranteed a table as the restaurant isn't busy. However, for the price of 17.50 per person it is fairly pricey. Would recommend to go to other places to grab food.

Absolutely not worth the price with other options available in the park. It would be okay for a family as its a set price, unfortunately, the set price is far higher than it should be regardless of the inflated theme park prices . Nearly £17 for an adult and very limited in options. I wished I'd gone to the Mexican place across the way

Pizza is pretty nice; but the pasta is lukewarm and watery. Personally would say it's only worth it if you get a pass holder discount, £16 is quite expensive for what's on offer.

It costs £95 for all 6 of us to go in. It was a great self-serve buffet with unlimited servings. They only had salad, pizza, pasta and garlic bread considering the name. Staff were quite helpful and were happy to make a gluten free pizza and garlic bread for one of us (tasted lovely to be honest). Would recommend but it was a bit over priced for 20 minutes of dining.

This place is not recommended, cutlery was dirty with left over food on it, the pizza looked very sad and not very nice and the pasta could have been better as too much sauce was an issue also the drink machine was broken as a whole the quality of the food did not match the price even after using a merlin discount the safe option would have been kfc or Burger King!!

What the hell has happened to this place? Since your new catering providers, Aramark have stepped in, the quality is absolutely abysmal, and you charge 16 odd quid now for a lesser product that used to cost 12 quid. This isn’t isolated either, the quality of all Merlin food products have gone down considerably since Aramark stepped in.

Average American's half-deep pan pizza, no much choice (if I remember correctly just 4-5 flavours), but you can get as much as you want. If you're here and planning to do the attractions in the park, I don't recommend eating here since you can't really eat as much as you would in a buffet. There is also some salad and vegetables (also served as buffet) and unlimited drinks (non alcoholic).

Food was pretty below average but still very edible, classic catering style type food. You can have pizza (pepperoni/Margherita/chicken), cheese sauce pasta or Bolognese pasta, also a salad bar. Any intolerances and they will make it specifically just for your table. What really got me is that there was no toilet there, you have to go back outside, go for an explore to find the loo them go back in looking dodgy. Thing with a buffet at a theme park is that you have to strike that fine balance between getting your value for money at the buffet and making sure you're not gonna be sick once you get on the saw ride, much better idea to go to other restaurants, although tbh I'd like to see more food options (healthy food too)

One of ny most favourite restaurants for pizza, the quaility of food in this restaurant is outstanding and so yummy that its almost out of this world. The staff are helpful and very polite. It varies all different types of pizzas so nobody is left out hungry. They also do salads for people who like there greens. You can help yourself to as much food as you want.

They have meal deals and no longer have a buffet (assuming due to Covid-19). The restaurant follows social distancing procedures and as a result there was a queue to get in. The pizzas were a good personal portion size and extremely cheesy. Very satisfying between rides. Pizzas were served in cardboard boxes and easy to take out. Drinks were served in plastic cups and not glasses which was useful as they didn’t have straws. Slightly overpriced although as it’s in a theme park, is to be expected.

I recently visited the restaurant during Fright Nights. My husband, 2 children and I were looking for a place to eat after we had just come off of Nemesis. We stumbled across the pizza pasta buffet and decided to try it out. As we were in the queue, an employee with short brown hair named “Ethan” greeted us. He had a smile on his face and was very happy to help! He tracked and traced us and informed us about the menu and what was different during the pandemic. He was making sure everybody was socially distancing and and having a fun time when they were in there. After we ordered at the tills, we were seated at the table and food service was very quick. We were in and out the restaurant in under 30 minutes and I have recommended it to all my friends if they visit the resort. Service - 10/10 Food - 10/10 Value - 10/10

Really poor experience. Ended up coming here from The Cliff and it’s always been a really great experience. A lady at the door told us that there was another bar open which I didn’t hear so I confirmed with the lady who then became verbally abusive when I said “thank you”. She then had her cronies follow me and my party to where they recommended which was Annie’s Attic. I actually really like this bar but I’m not coming back because of the issues presented. I and we have been coming here for years, not any more. Contact us to change our mind? Or not, thanks. Rude? Yes she was. Confrontational? Yes she was. Horrid in terms of customer service?

Cielito's restaurant provided an excellent setting for an evening with both friends and family. We began the evening with a sampling of different drinks (strongly, strongly recommend the watermelon margarita with mezcal instead of tequila) accompanied by guacamole & chips and tacos dorados (ordered both chicken options with green and red sauces). The guacamole delivered with a well-balanced mixture of ingredients (and just the right level of lime). The only constructive criticism would be that of the corn chips (they lacked the requisite crunch of those found in Southern Californian establishments). After the antojitos/appetizers, we progressed to the grilled beef tacos, prawn tacos, enchiladas verdes o rojas (chicken) and fajitas. Cielito's Chef, Alvin, delivered once again on all four fronts. Everyone expressed satisfaction with their entrees and the solid results set the stage for the final course of postres/desserts. Unfortunately, Cielito's signature 3 leches offering was unavailable, so we opted for the churros (with creamy caramel sauce), flan, and Mexican coffee. The churros were cooked perfectly with a balanced covering of both sugar and cinnamon. Everyone enjoyed the flan, but some wished it were bigger in size. The Mexican coffee was outstanding with a perfect balance of espresso, veritas rum, and cazcabel coffee tequila. All in all, I would most definitely return to this establishment if ever back in Virginia Water. My thanks once again to Chef, Alvin, and his wonderful staff for providing a truly memorable dining experience.
