RideAddict Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 If you want a different burger bar 360, the BBQ and KFC all do other burgers. If you want something other than burgers there is huge choice on the park really.I tried the burgers from the BBQ and they weren't all that. Most of the food they serve is near-enough charcoaled! I've stopped going there, and KFC, well I won't even step inside any branch! Rank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RideAddict Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Yes! Search online for food offerings at theme parks across the UK. You'll find a lot of criticism! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inferno Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 RideAddict, your visiting a theme park not a 5 star restaurant... ^ THIS. If you want to go out for a nice meal, but go looking for it in a theme park, you're looking in the wrong place! Yes! Search online for food offerings at theme parks across the UK. You'll find a lot of criticism! The people complaining about poor food choices at Thorpe Park are probably the same people who complained about Chessington only having a few rides open on a Zoo Day... Some people literally live to complain. MattyMoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 See, I've never waited over 10 minutes for Bar 360. It really is pure luck when you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Coaster Man Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I don't mind the BBQ place but I normally eat at KFC, I trust the brand and I haven't had a dodgy meal there yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma1980 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 First time we ate at the BBQ place on 14th March, was a bit cold sitting in the shade under the canopy but I can't fault the food - it was bloody lovely! Although the pump machines with coke etc in always taste like its been mixed with Tango - I've had it before at Thorpe where the diet coke tastes like tango! its gross! I've always handed it back and opted for a bottle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideAddict Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I haven't eaten there since about 2010, I wonder if it's improved. Time for a retry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had this before until last Friday when I bought one from the doughnut place and it did bit of a Tango tang. I kind of liked it though, so I kept it. Shouldn't happen for the price they charge for their syrup mix though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchada04 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Tango and Coke mixed is actually really nice. Often make it at Pizza Hut when you get your own refills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattgwise Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Cant beat coca cola freestyle machines. Wish they introduced it to the parks. The currently have them on trial in several burger king branches in london. Over 125 varieties in a single machine. http://www.coca-cola.co.uk/freestyle Tom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBobJones Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I hope the Burger Kitchen comes to Thorpe, had a fantastic meal at Alton this week, in my opinion they have mastered it and it is just as good as the high street chains.

RideAddict Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 That is interesting, did you see the negative verdict on Towers Nerd live? Unfortunately I don't think it's coming to the park soon, getting quite pissed off really at how they think they can be different from the other parks. Tango and Coke mixed is actually really nice. Often make it at Pizza Hut when you get your own refills This has gotta be tried! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pluk Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I've never even heard of them. Having looked it up I've never seen one either. Looks good though, see how many years until they find their way into darkest Essex... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not according to Burger King website or my area. I live near Wimbledon and the four branches nearest to me don't have them? But yep have to agree Coke Orange is awesome. Plus it has yummy coke vanilla which left the UK around 5 years ago now (bottle version) http://www.burgerking.co.uk/menu?producttypeid=47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideAddict Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 This year I am trying out new food outlets and I kickstarted it today by testing out Roast and Relish. Very tasty, a little bit dry as some sauce or gravy wouldn't go a-miss, the baguette was a little bit to crispy but on the whole I enjoyed it.
