BigBobJones Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 That is interesting, did you see the negative verdict on Towers Nerd live? I read that too and I thought it was going to be poor, but I went in with an opened mind and I have to say if they had a Burger kitchen on the high street I would use it. If anything its good to know we have an alternative to Pizza Pasta which we love. But until you have tried it you can't really comment. Also hearing free tea and coffee after 3PM with a MAP is an extra bonus too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 We tried out Burger Kitchen at the weekend and were pretty impressed. It isn't trying to be fancy, it's just simple burgers. All four of us had different meals and there wasn't any complaints. The amount of staff they had in there was just woah! They were fighting each other off to serve customers. I wouldn't be too disappointed if Thorpe lost its franchises to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping to get there this weekend to test them out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyMoo Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Nice find. Must say I still haven't seen it but guess its slowly being rolled out across the UK Yep it'll be like the fabled Mountain Dew Energy roll out - it appeared slowly, randomly at places like BP Garages and then went mainstream!

BigBobJones Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Went into Burger King today, a complete disaster, 3 members or staff trying to serve us, had to pay twice for two meals due to staff not knowing how to operate the till, both meals had to go back due to getting the order wrong and I'm sure I was not charged the correct price. First and last time I go in there this year, bring on the Burger Kitchen PLEASE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodge2002 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 They were doing this at DLRP when I went last but you had to make a purchase to get one. Its nice to see them copying the right things from the right people for a change! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Very specific locations but I'm sure we'll all take advantage on sunday in the cold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattgwise Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 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 Could Thorpe Park have been reading this thread and signed up to coca cola freestyle as the facebook page says:"Exciting news coming soon from THORPE PARK and Coca-Cola... Check back here on Monday as all will be revealed!" Glitch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Whilst not particularly exciting news, Thorpe are extended the Mexican Cantina so it includes more indoor seating... http://planning.runnymede.gov.uk/Northgate/PlanningExplorer/Generic/StdDetails.aspx?PT=Planning%20Applications%20On-Line&TYPE=PL/PlanningPK.xml&PARAM0=185229&XSLT=/Northgate/PlanningExplorer/SiteFiles/Skins/Runnymede_AA/xslt/PL/PLDetails.xslt&FT=Planning%20Application%20Details&PUBLIC=Y&XMLSIDE=/Northgate/PlanningExplorer/SiteFiles/Skins/Runnymede_AA/Menus/PL.xml&DAURI=PLANNING From the looks of the plans, it seems they're going for a very Mexican theme, with cacti, and 'gun shots' against the building.

Doc Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Can't see the documents but sounds like an idea. After reading the MTDP, I expected to see an extension to one of the food outlet some time ago. Nice to see them investing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkC Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Iv'e used them at Burger King in Guildford and it is just a mess xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchada04 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 I liked this part from the application! The application site is also in close proximity to Nemesis Inferno and Ramba Rapids. Ramba Rapids? New for 2014 ride sussed! No but seriously when I ate at Mexican Cantina earlier this year I liked the food but did find the lack of indoor seating annoying so it's nice to see this being done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 ^ Seems like a common thing with Thorpe atm - Yesterday on the info board "TIDL WAVE" was unavaliable for the preview evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma1980 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Has anyone tried the ribcage challenge at the BBQ calypso hut that co-insides with fright nights? They tweeted a picture...

Benin Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Decent idea, guessing it's two portions or sommat of their ribs, one is not exactly Man Vs Food... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it's changed in the past few weeks, it's been like that all season (though, I think they were more relaxed about it over summer)!

Benin Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Yeah for some reason at the start of the season they decided to change it to selected outlets... Not one of their best ideas... c1hrisin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
