Opinions
Booked here as the restaurant at our hotel was almost full (only early or late slots available) and The Crooked Spoon had slightly better reviews, although given none of the Alton Towers restaurants are particularly well rated I was a little apprehensive. We arrived at 5.25pm for our 5.30pm booking and were greeted by a polite young lady and shown to our table. The menu and QR code was explained to us and we had no problem placing our order. Drinks arrived promptly and food shortly after. My husband had the chicken and halloumi fajitas, which were sizzling hot on the skillet, I had the sweet potato and chickpea salad, and the children had a tomato pasta and a chicken tenders with chips. Everything was really tasty, the kids food wasn't too hot and we had empty plates all round. I had a glass of rosé which was lovely, hubby had a pint and kids had soft drinks and it came to a little over £80, which was a bit less than we had expected. Perhaps a little pricey for what it is, but these types of places always are as they have a captive audience. Although prompt, most of the serving staff didn't really seem to know the location of table numbers (several times we saw stagger carry a tray, put it down, look around and then go back to find the table they wanted) which I can imagine being a problem at busier times (around a third of the tables were occupied when we ate, and given how close the tables are together, I can see how it gets a bit uncomfortable when full). Also, no one spoke to us aside from the lady who seated us, just put the food and drinks down and left. No "enjoy your meal" or "can I get you any sauces" or anyone popping back to check everything was OK, so it was fortunate that we didnt need anything else. It was a little odd and made the experience feel a bit more like a fast food restaurant than an actual restaurant. So 1 star removed for service, but food and drinks far better than expected, especially based on previous reviews!

Great breakfast during our 2 night stay. Plenty of choice and cooked breakfast tasted good. Staff and service very efficient. A few more cereals would be great.

After a long day in the park, we didn’t want to venture very far for food, so we decided to try the Crooked Spoon. The food choice was very limited, service was very slow and some servers weren’t sure which table to deliver the food to. The restaurant is very cold, so take a coat or jacket. If we were to stay at Alton Towers again, we wouldn’t go back to this restaurant.

Nice breakfast, we had breakfast here as we stayed in the enchanted forest, the staff were all friendly and the service was spot on couldn’t complain. The food was nice quality and always being filled up. Good selection of hot food, cold sweet and savoury bites. Good hot and cold drinks selection.

We are staying here for the weekend, we booked kere for dinner. The food is pretty much limited like burgers, etc. however the cheese burger was nice. The breakfast buffet style not so much a fan of. Some of the food was cold and we had to wait for the likes of beans and stuff to come out.l however because this was part of our deal (the breakfast) can’t complain. The dinner bill was expensive tho for 3 burgers and chips….

We were served by Christian who was amazing and went out of his way to help us. A real credit to the restaurant. We had a kids pasta with chicken which was a good size especially for the price. Full of flavour. The mud chicken burger was really tasty and a good size meal. We also had gammon which was really nice and tasty.

Last had breakfast at the Alton Towers resort around 3-4 years ago, when i thought that the quality was poor. This time i was very happy, all food was hot and tasty. Good selection including bacon, fried and scrambed egg, sausage, tomato, mushroom, hash brown, cereal, toast, fruit and pastries. Much better than my previous visit.

Friendly and welcoming staff at this venue on the Alton Towers resort. Simple menu and the food was of a good quality. Food took a little while to arrive and portions were on the smaller side, especially for the money paid.

We’ve stayed in a few Alton towers accommodations now but it was the first time here for breakfast, and we won’t be back. It just felt a lot dirtier and neglected than other resort breakfasts, and their lack of info or training regarding allergies was a bit worrying. I asked to see the allergen menu so I could see what is vegan, and was told it doesn’t say - they weren’t aware you could look to check dairy etc individually, and were quite rude about the fact I wanted to look. Another staff member on our last day let us know they can put in vegan sausages for us which was so kind and appreciated! But overall it wasn’t anything like the breakfasts at other hotels, so we won’t be staying in the cottages again

Was not able to book a table in advanced so had to just walk in, was told our table of 9 wouldn’t be able to be cleaned for at least 30 mins. Which in reply we offered to clean the table ourselves as we all wanted to sit together. The girl who appeared as “manager” was very blunt in her replies with no and that splitting into a 4 and 6 was the ONLY option. Note: after we left the restaurant over and hour later the table we requested originally wasn’t cleaned! We were told it was bar service for food and drinks? Surprising after our previous visits we had had such amazing table service which encouraged us to go back in the first place. The girl I think named Sasha then brought over about 6 kids menus and maybe 2 adult menus. The menus were covered in something sticky and falling apart. We didn’t even want to touch them. Food came at all different times: expected when ordering separately but still disappointed. New guy Andy was lovely, was his first day and was very friendly :) On request, we asked for a burger to be plain, i made sure to double check when ordering as my brother is very fussy! TWICE, it came back with other toppings still on it. Overall, I really wouldn’t recommend this place. Surrounded by dirty plates for the entirety of our meal, no check backs and very blunt and rude staff, will be sure to avoid next time we are here. Made a very good day at the park have a poor ending.

No options available for my daughter who has coeliac. Menu is very different to what is visible online. Lack of choice available to adults and children in general. Staff member when asked about what they could do shrugged shoulder. She then went on to say they have none gluten containing sausages, but these contained wheat. I was told this would be ok for my daughter to eat. I am horrified by the knowledge allergies. Reception desk of the enchanted lodges was soon quick to help book us in at another restaurant on site that could accommodate.

Overpriced & poor food. Cocktails are all from a carton. If your expecting fresh meals this isn’t the place. Cheap frozen produce charged at ridiculous prices. If they charged two meals for £10 at least people would be prepared for low quality.

We ate here on our first evening within the resort, 2 adults and 3 children. We stayed in the CBeebies hotel and not wanting to eat dinner in the same place we were having breakfast we walked over to the crooked spoon. I was fully away that prices would be high due to it being a resort however, the price did not match the quality or experience of this place. We didn’t book, which didn’t appear to be a problem as the restaurant was empty at 5:30pm which was surprising being mid summer. The staff were pleasant enough and took us to our table. I ordered fish and chips which was very disappointing, the fish was tasteless, the mushy peas grey and overheated. The worse park of the entire meal was the chips. Never had such dry chips in my life. We left £122 worse off and not satisfied at all but at least we were fed. I would not recommend eating here however we found the CBeebies hotel restaurant much better.

Certainly up there with the worst food I’ve ever ate. We got 3 buttermilk chicken burgers and 3 soft drinks. Tasted like chicken had been cooked in year old oil. Chips were also crusty and tasteless. Slaw would have been quite nice if it wasn’t warm. Nothing would bring me back, even starvation… Cynically priced to take advantage of a captive audience. £60 for food worse than McDonald’s.

After an awful dinning experience at The Secret Garden restaurant the previous evening, this place was a welcome retreat! It’s very pleasantly themed and we really enjoyed our breakfast. Plenty of options including a hot buffet, toast area, cereals and pastries. The staff we friendly too so I can only imagine it would have been a cheaper, tastier place to have had dinner!

Went to restaurant for dinner as we were staying overnight at Enchanted Village. It was my daughters birthday so we brought a birthday cake with us and gave it them on arrival so we could have it later which they agreed. Prices very expensive yet no table service so had to go to bar to order. Very poor when you are paying £20 for fish and chips. Clearly want to save on costs whilst still ripping off customer. There were 8 of us and meals did not come together but spaced apart by about 20 mins so had to eat separately. Had to chase three missing meals. Took 90 minutes from arrival to end of meal for one course. I asked several times for birthday cake to be brought over with candles and after around 20 minutes I gave up and asked if I could have cake and candles back to do it myself as children were getting impatient by now. The waitress then brought the boxed cake back to us and said it had been in hostess trolly as if that made it better?! Daughter hugely disappointed. Then had to hunt around for a lighter from member of public and sing happy birthday on a bench outside! This was after spending around £200 on meals and drinks. Avoid this restaurant if you value good service as the staff here just don’t care-even when it’s a child’s birthday! AWFUL!

Save yourself the disappointment. We stayed in one of the Enchanted lodges and after walking 10 miles throughout the day in the park we headed back to the Crooked Spoon for a well earned drink. The welcome we received was abysmal. The restaurant was empty...

We had a pleasant evening here. Booked for 7pm and it wasn’t too busy at this time. the service I experienced wasn’t too slow as other reviewers have mentioned. Food was good, not amazing but not too bad. Overall good experience.

We had breakfast here with our enchanted village stay for 2 mornings and it was really lovely - the food was very nice and fresh and the staff were friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the pancakes in particular!

As you are a bit of a captive audience, we went for the easy option and had two breakfasts and two dinners at The Crooked Spoon, while staying in The Enchanted Forest at Alton Towers (unusual for us, we rarely eat on location). We were...

Save your money and bring pot noodle. The service was the worst ever received. The obnoxious manager was a particular highlight. The quality of food was also hideous. Not only that. It’s a total rip off.
