Sports Cafe in Forest Heath

Disappointing portion size and presentation, definitely not aligned to the pictures they show in the menu. Service is horrifically slow and we had to chase our kids deserts 3 times to get them delivered. They are clearly overwhelmed and lack enough staff to operate efficiently and management capable of running a restaurant properly.

Expensive for what it was but what we had was good. Maybe more variety on main meals would be better.

I had the Katsu curry loaded fries they were very good but very spicy. The prices in there were a bit high, especially for drinks!! Good atmosphere. Would go again

We only ate here once and it was a pretty dull sandwich. Still, like all the restaurants at centreparcs the level of service was excellent.

I cannot believe the price increases!! £20 for fish and chips!! Over £10 for loaded fries!! I can’t believe it was necessary to raise prices this much for what is basically a restaurant that just cooks frozen food, I can only assume it’s because it’s the only place that accepts walk in’s, so a very captive audience indeed. Refused to pay those prices. What a shame. CP seem to be on an endless quest to prove everyone out of the market.

You find a table, and then order and pay for your food and drink from the table via an app. Last year we couldn't get the app to work, so ended up eventually having to place an order with a waitress the old-fashioned way. I wasn't therefore hopeful when this year I went for a snack on my own while my family were swimming. The app worked perfectly, however, and I wasn't even bothered when it warned me of a 50 minute wait time because I had a good book with me. I was a bit startled though when my sandwiches and coffee then turned up within 5 minutes! Sandwiches and accompanying extras were very nice. Expensive, obviously, but that's the deal at Center Parcs.

Highly recommend! you can choose from lots of option. cold or hot meal or snack. Any age can find what is suite to you

Noisy, average food, very little service. Most of the restaurants at this venue are 'chains', this is probably as good as any and better than some. Serves burgers etc so children were happy but it isn't a great dining experience.

Came here for a breakfast and charged £14 for the full English breakfast. Nothing particularly wrong with it but worse than a spoons breakfast that you pay £5 for. £6-£7 for a pint is truly ridiculous. This is throughout the resort. Center Parcs has always been known for being slightly pricey and I have been coming here for years but it is getting beyond silly now and may put me off returning at all.

Like most of the in-house restaurants at Longleat, the food here was overpriced, small and generally poor. Chicken burger wasn’t like a usual fried fillets, it was a tiny piece of burnt chicken breast. Fe had a beef burger which was small and had chewy bacon in it. The only plus side of this place is the location for drinks and the bar. Don’t bother eating here

The menu is varied. We visited a few times during our holiday. There is a wide range of veggie/vegan options which is always great to see. Tasted great, fast service. Very noisy but you expect for a sports bar.

Very busy and very noisy. You don’t have to book to eat here which is where I think they’re going wrong. Massive queues to get in with long waits. We ate here for breakfast one day, wasn’t great.

The staff were terrible plonking food down all over the place with no consideration for anyone. Miserable faces and seemed they did not want to be there. The food and drinks themselves was nice just the service was shocking so that’s why a 2

Called here in the afternoon and again at night just for drinks. was very busy and very noisy on both visits. Coffees were awful, other drinks ok

suspect there was an issue as this is unheard of; we have been many times before but on this day there was a queue to get get in with an hour's wait once seated.

Dirty table Loaded fries had to be sent back The roll for my burger was cold. My sons sandwich had the crusts cut off and it wasn’t even a whole sandwich. Maybe it’s ideal if you want a drink. Then to top it off it...

Disgusting food. Everything had been cooked, cooled, reheated and refried, numerous times, we all ended up with a really upset tummy. The chips were cold, really cold. Chicken had almost disintegrated due to being cooked so many times. What was inside was very dark brown...

This is what it is a very busy, noisy room full of hungry people looking for a quick meal. I wouldn’t say it was particularly good value for money but it is a quick and easy place to eat.

Visited here twice. Firstly for the Big Family Quiz night also eating dinner and then for lunch. Apart from the quiz night, you cannot prebook dining here. So at peak times there’s a queue out the door but the venue is large with numerous TV...

Food was good and staff helpful. However they insist on you placing your order using an app. You also have to create an account, so not for the technophobe. Eventually you can get a staff member to take your order. Why insist on this procedure?

Loved it here. Relaxed atmosphere, great service, sport on every tv. Staff super polite & friendly! Family Quiz on one night, we didn’t take part but lovely to see evening activities again.

A huge thank you to Alex who handed in my bag I left it under the table after we finished roller skating, my folks had been watching and I forgot they were watching it for me when we left. A member of staff found it...

Firstly, I will commend that the service on entry was great. Taken to a table and talked through ordering via a QR code however, that is the only good thing. One of our meals arrived with frozen chicken nuggets and baked beans that clearly were...

Used it several times this weekend. Food was good, quick and efficient service. Will use them again.

One of the few places in CP you can eat without booking a table! My husband and I visited with our 15 month old a few times over the week. Once for drinks which was fine. It was about 8pm and a few of the...

Far to many drunken idiots in here for the football. Had to leave before it kicked off. Defo won't be back.

Sports cafe has a really nice atmosphere. Was told we would have to use the app to order and so I thought I'd give it a go. I was really struggling and I also had a member of the group who had an allergy. I...

The food here is nice, the staff are pleasant. There is a newly revamped play area right next to the outside seating. The only issue was the tables are incredibly sticky. They seem to be wiped between guests but the paper menus stick to them...

For us, the Sports Cafe was actually the lynchpin of our holiday and ended up spending a lot of time (and money!) in there. Over the course of our holiday, we visited every day and had breakfast, lunch and dinner there and each time left...

had lovely fresh made soup and sandwiches. staff helpful and polite. open all hours morning till quite late.

Amazing atmosphere, amazing people and amazing staff that done there best to assure everyone was getting there needs. Special mention to the Spanish lad that was serving us when we was sitting down not at table. I asked lady if I could order and got...

you can't reserve a table but there is plenty of room and we never had a problem. It serves nice bar food, and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

There is no process or social distancing when queuing for activities, doing the activities or walking around supermarket or shops, so why are you made to sit at table only and not go to the bar to order. Extremely stressful ordeal having to use an...

Loaded fries were amazing! They were expensive but there is enough for two people as an after swimming snack!

Went here for lunch on the day we arrived and the same day people were leaving.. it was very wet outside too. The place was packed but we were given a table (without having a booking). We ordered via the app and there was about...

10/10 would recommend this restaurant. Lovely scampi & chips. Paper straws are a bit rubbish though.

Always fine the sports cafe clean and staff friendly. Annoying way to order here as well though whilst staff stand around and have to help you with the app!! No reason to still do this, go back to table service please!!! We all had fish...

More fried food, served by uninterested bored staff, orders done by app so service is un-attentive by staff, tables uncleared, dirty glasses and cutlery - not nice at all

I went here specifically because I wanted the gluten free fish and chips. The batter was soggy and chewy.

Loved this place, really central to everything Menu to suit anyone, very casual and easy going for families couples or groups Usually ended up here for dessert and drinks Brilliant customer service Highly recommend

great atmosphere,lovely staff, good food and they take care to ensure people with allergies are looked after.

No need to pre-book, tables allocated on a first come first served basis. Lots of TV's everywhere. Quite busy and queues in place at times to get in. You can eat or just enjoy a drink at your table.

Always lovely to be at the sports cafe. Madri on tap is very nice and the service from all, particularly Sharon is faultless. Happy to put the tennis on for me as well

We were looked after from start to finish by Max and his team. We had lunch here. The broccoli and cheese soup was very tasty,hot and well presented. The vegetarian loaded fries were exactly that, LOADED and delicious 👍 The English tea was perfect. Really...

My wife, daughter, and I came here every day for the week we stayed at Center Parcs - be it for breakfast, lunch or just a drink while we waited for the other one to finish an activity. Every single member of staff gave exceptional...

Had a lovely breakfast and lunch here. Not a la carte but perfectly adequate choices and clean area Online ordering was easy to use and helpful wait staff if you wanted to order in person

Relatively quick service through a self serve, sign up system. Came here to watch football during our Center Parcs stay yesterday. Greeted warmly, luckily table was in view of a TV which we could see. Drinks came relatively quickly. Shared a bottle of rose wine which cost £19 and a cocktail at £6.99. So relatively expensive but average for Center Parcs I guess.

The chocolate sundae is marked as vegetarian but the marshmallows it comes sprinkled with are not! If you have a vegetarian with you watch out.

Had a nice meal here and would go again, staff were all very helpful and the food was very good and price good

We came into the sports cafe to watch the football and have a couple of drinks - we wish we hadn't bothered. The service was SO slow yet there were lots of staff members around not doing very much. We ended up waiting 30 minutes for a round of drinks in a half empty bar.

Had late breakfast on last day - great food, tip - rather than pay almost £9 for full breakfast you can get a sausage or bacon sandwich and then extras for £1 each which makes it cheaper. Great place to watch sport - not one if you want a talk with your sport mad partner.

A favourite place for the family, service always prompt and good quality consistently good. Great for lunch or early dinner.

Lovely staff and very clean . I have given two stars as the burger was the worst food I have ever eaten.I choose the Sports Bar for my boys.The boys burgers were good , I can’t eat any food with eggs so choose the vegan burger to be safe . So wish I haven’t, I think my cat’s food smells and probably would taste better.

We “ate” here on our first night and what a mistake it was. Firstly I would like to state that the staff at the Sports Cafe are all working extremely hard and are trying their best in the difficult circumstances hence the 2 stars despite their farcical processes . Therefore we would like to thank Billy and the manager very much for their help but even so we would not visit again especially now we have seen that Hucks do no use the crazy app system for ordering . Hucks have said they abandoned it as it didn’t work but SC are still using it and that’s a big problem for them. For example my son had a plain chicken burger but there is nowhere on the app to state “plain” so we had to seek a server to place an order so what’s the point of the app. Also my wife ordered steak - well done on the app and it came rare. We ended up ordering everything via the server and not the app. The whole experience was awful, a waste of time and the food wasn’t good anyway, my fish and chips (I am tempted to say fish and chip due to the amount given ) was cold and the mushy peas were so runny they appeared to have been watered down to make them go further. Avoid this restaurant if you want a pleasant eating experience. CP please look at the systems and processes being used here it could be so much better.

Been here a few times in that past and do enjoy watching sports, having a beer and some food, nice and relaxed place.Lots of space - it was a Monday so people still arriving but a number of tables not in use due to Covid. Personally I thought they were being a bit cautious but no problem.Order via an app, pretty easy and the server was helpful.Food is decent, kids pasta went down well, i enjoyed my burger, sons steak was overall good, bit of gristle on one end but well cooked. Wifes chicken was dry. On its now, it is a bit pricey for what it is but thats CP, but with the government offer it bought the price down a lot and great value, as well as prompt and good service.

Good food, new covid restrictions mean ordering via a link which is found by scanning QR code with mobile device. Totally contact less and a good service...would recomend a tone visiting soon to book reserve a table with confidence.

We normally eat here when the quiz is on as then you are guaranteed a table as this is a place you can't book tables. We do find this a bit expensive for what it is. They used to do really good deals but they don't anymore. The staff however are very friendly.

Great for children as soft play and table pool area. Shared a nice bottle of white wine here which was chilled beautifully. Nice lunch. Not the cheapest but it is what it is x

Good place to come for lunches, snacks and drinks, after playing badminton or tennis. Some of the staff are not very helpful, but we were served by a lovely lady, Shannon, who helped administer first aid as I had hurt my foot. Some of the staff were really quite rude, looking inconvenienced that I wasn't wearing a shoe (just sock) - But Shannon helped straight away, seeing that something was wrong! The food was average, but the experience was good because of the kind lady serving us.

The food was good, provision for children very good - both food and play area made for a great family gathering

We choose burgers. Very tasty and good value for money. Service was prompt and staff were helpful. I have an allergy and they were very helpful to make sure my needs were met.

Good staff.food all good. Great quiz nite. Good value and a good evening. Vastly improved on a few years ago.

We enjoyed this cafe being big sports fans. Broccoli and cheddar soup was lovely as were the sandwiches. The drinks however are not cheap. Couldn’t fault the staff who were very attentive

Spent most of our time here at the Sports Cafe for excellent food and also good seating for watching badminton / table tennis around the booth we sat in . Big screen tv for sports fans and also smaller ones around cafe and in booths where we sat and ate . Also. Family quiz held here which was great fun !

This man is totally the best sever we've ever met. The most genuine and decent man ever. We all loved him and the extra amazing kindness and personable service received at this place. Genuinely the best man. Well done you Billy.

As I walked into the party, it wasn’t like walking into a yacht. My children, strategically drank fizzy drinks, because I wanted beer, a lot.Food was ok, beer was fine - all as expected at Center Parcs. But I have to take my hat off to Billy - Our waiter, was spot on. Relaxed, friendly, great with our kids and just a good chap! We came back on Sunday for a drink and snack (and we had a discount) but truth be told, we just wanted to see Billy. My Niece was so excited when she saw him again that she air grabbed - with fist pump. He was awesome. Went above and beyond, helped in any way he could all with a genuine, personable way about him. The world needs more Billy’s.

Our waitress was really lovely but paying nearly £14 for a breakfast of such bad quality is a joke ! At my work back at home you pay half that and get the same amount with great quality food. Couldn’t even eat my other sausage it was that rank but service was good !

Absolutely amazing service, cater to any needs. The only problem is you pay £13 for the worst quality food you’ll ever taste. This was on a breakfast where you only get 2 of everything. Paying that amount you would have thought it would be good quality, but was not enjoyable one Bit. Very snotty egg, pink sausages, burnt mushrooms

We usually eat here when we arrive at the Parc, but they have changed the menu since last time (2 years ago) so after it checking it out we decided to go elsewhere, it would be ok if you want a burger. They used to have a specific menu for people who are dairy free, this has also gone, yes they can tweak menu, but that was a winner for us and why we went there. We left and choose another restaurant.

It was very busy here. However the food was great. Very large portions and excellent quality. We had the burgers and would recommend. The bar staff remained friendly and helpful even though it was very busy.

Found the sports bar very busy. Couldn't get a table most times. Service very slow Food OK but not great

We have always used Sports Cafe for a Brunch - but no more. Breakfast only served until 11am , and no all day available - disappointed

The sports cafe did very nice food, it was good being able to watch the live football whilst having a good breakfast and good service

The burgers were very nice - much rather prefer to come here than Huck's. Service was a little slow but it's expected as it's a cafe not a restaurant. Overall good experience!

We attended a quiz night which was good fun despite not winning. Real ale was available and there is waitress service. Also watched a football match and grand prix.

Quiz gd, food ok, nothing special. Noisy in afternoon, we sat outside cos of that and couldn’t get table service there. Definitely not a relaxing venue

Lovely restaurant, chilled vibe ample seating staff all really friendly nothing too much hassle, the breakfast was great quality. Kids play area and arcade also all sports events on the 50 something tv screens!

Lovely restaurant, great atmosphere. The staff were all wonderful, very polite and brilliant with my daughter and niece/nephew.

We did not like our meal here at all. Massive room for improvement. A real shame since it really is the only place to relax and watch some sport.

Food and level of service was excellent, can be a bit noisy if you want a quiet meal, but can also help with holiday enviroment

The acoustics of this 'hall' are not helped by several large screen TVs belting out a variety of sports channels as well as the constant din of children running around. If you like lots of noise it's fab. If you want a quiet drink/meal give it a miss.

Staff were friendly. Ordered lunch and the service was super fast. We watched the family quiz night and wished I had booked it looked like fun.

Food good but drinks expensive 2 lagers and a coke £12 but the place was very clean and staff friendly

Great awareness of CC for allergies. Provided my cultery and napkin in clingfilmed packet, very impressed. Delicious GF beer battered fish and chips, great menu choices. Well informed staff.

Kids loved the soft play area whole the adults enjoyed some free time while being able to keep an eye on the children.

Great place for all of our group to meet up. Always had a busy lively, vibrant feel to it. Loads of TV's everywhere showing every sporting event going on. There is an amusement arcade here and several pool tables. We often headed here for a lunchtime snack. Smaller meals seem to be the norm here which were ideal for our groups midday bite to eat. Service was good and timely, the food was tasty and portions were not to large

over priced drinks in quite nice sourroudings with plenty of flat screens and bad sound system staff service is average and having to queue like children in a school at luchtime is not the best situation unfortunately there isn't alot of choice at centreparcs bit if football wasn't on I would not bother with it

Ate before the quiz - quick and easy food, no frills but very tasty. Great to be able to watch some sports and catch up on results etc. Play area well maintained but arcade a disappointment.

We ate here at the end of a very busy day when the children were tired, staff were very attentive and food arrived quickly and was hot.

Kids meal was very good and it has loads of Tvs with sports and more sports. There’s also a little soft play and amusements for the children.

This used to be a nice bar to relax in. Now it is ruined by TVs everywhere. There must be 20 - 30 TV screens showing sports - for me it's like some kind of nightmare - a scary utopian vision of the future aghhhhhhh let me out...

This was a great place to get some comfort food, fabulous burgers that were juicy and well cooked plus some good kid friendly options and vegetarian options too, the whole family were sorted

Great place and great service. Rhys the barman in particular delivered great service and made us feel at home. I had accidentally spilt my drink(clumsy of me), and he delivered a refill free of charge and with a great attitude other retailers could learn by. A great asset to the company. Thank you Rhys for putting me at my ease and resolving the situation in a great way, that has made me want to return again and again.

Really enjoyed a Quiz here - very original questions on large screens. Food was really good and lots of varied drinks! Service at tables very efficient and really nice staff. Enjoyed playing pool too! Highly recommended!

I visited the sports cafe at centre parcs Elveden on Thursday the 20th of June 2019 just for small snack before swimming.

Great food, good menu, reasonably priced, excellent service and lovely staff. Family friendly and a great place to watch sport on TV. Very comfortable and plenty of room. I will be back.

The sports bar had been upgraded since we had last visited. Much nicer atmosphere and decor in there, better seating arrangements and a good selection of food and drinks. Breakfast we all had was nice from waffles to fry up all enjoyed. Only down part of the sports bar is that the soft play has two entrance/exists so you think your child is in there and you are looking for them when actually they have gone out the other side,

Though this can be very busy at times, you are told if there is a wait for food and it is tasty and arrived hot and fresh. The prices are comparative to similar "outside" restaurants

Good place to meet and watch football. Drinks expensive and food was expensive and mine was not appetizing. Don't be afraid to complain. The staff will understand and help. I found staff at CP very friendly.

We had five meals and five drinks the bill came to 80 plus. Says it all really, it’s pub food for triple the price
