Great food, friendly staff. Easily catered for a group of 15. Would definitely recommend 🙂

Pleasantly surprised! We had a mixture of baguettes and main meals such as ham egg and chips. All were great value, especially the baguettes which were huge with amazing salads. The bar also had local ales at reasonable prices.

What a shame. Perfect example of untrained staff. Service was appalling, nothing cleared away and food delivered on top of each other. Really spoiled the experience. And check your bill. They seem unable to add up and mysterious unordered drinks turn up in your bill. Let's the whole Park down badly

First thought was that the prices were a little high for what looks like simple grub
But wow. Portion sizes were more than enough (I couldn't finish,,,), however more importantly, the food was delicious.
One of our party exclaimed that the chips were the best he had had!
Children's meals were fine for up to teens.
Service was good too.
I definitely recommend you eat on-site at least once during your stay.
We were to full to try desserts, but they sounded good.

PS. Bonus points for using Stokes ketchup.

Empty restaurant wouldn't serve us without a reservation and nearly 3 hours before closing. Passed an hour later and still just as empty. Shouldn't advertise it as a facility at the park if you don't want our money.

I've only just read the the response to this review and what absolute nonsense. We drove past multiple times throughout the evening and the restaurant was virtually empty every time. To make it sound like I was trying to get a table in a fully booked restaurant just before xmas is a gross misrepresentation of the situation. Landal needs to sort this out as they have lazy/incompetent staff turning away business and then lying in review responses to try and cover themselves.

Lovely place, nice and friendly staff. The only problem was the burgers. Completely dry and overcooked, with no sauce at all. The chips and crab salad was good and the steak was a tiny bit overcooked, but ok.
