"Food Poisoning What a nightmare! Ate here with my wife and 2 young children after visiting the water park at around 6pm. I thought it was overpriced before I even laid eyes on the food, but having two hungry children we thought we’d give it a go. What a mistake! After picking what I hoped would be edible, we left feeling rather disappointed. At the time we just put it down to a bad experience and not to visit again. 5AM the following morning I was woken with the worst food poisoning symptoms. This would be my life for next 12 hours! The only consolation was that my wife and children had not ate the same things so they were spared the ordeal. We were supposed to visit the main theme park on the same day the symptoms started. Having spent a considerable amount we attempted to salvage what we could as my children were so excited about visiting CBeebies land, however, this proved to be a step too far, we abandoned the attempt after about an hour and left for home. I’ve logged a complaint with Alton Towers and also the food standards agency. I don’t hold out much hope of seeing a satisfactory reply back. I wish I had checked past reviews out before, as a simple search shows there have been a number of similar cases after eating at the same place. Please don’t eat here it’s not worth the risk or the price of the meal itself! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £20–30 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1"

"I drove an hour out of my way to have lunch here on a damp Saturday afternoon in March. It was worth the drive. At first, entering, finding staff and getting a table was confusing. I entered through the main door. There were no signs or a hostess. I saw a waitress and she told me to go to the bar. The one bartender was busy. After a few minutes, he asked what I wanted to drink. I told him I wanted a table for lunch. He then had to go speak with someone else before showing me to a table upstairs by the fireplace. It was a lovely room that looked a little like an overflow room. I could be wrong. He seemed to be doing triple duty as bartender in the pub, host for tables, and serving any drink orders as all alcoholic drinks, even wine, is delivered by him thereby leaving the bar in the downstairs pub unattended. They need a better system. I 've never seen something as confused and inefficient as this. That aside, the somewhat limited lunch menu was a little different than the published menu on the website. I ended up ordering the caesar salad with chicken. It was honestly the best caesar salad that I 've had in a long, long time. The only reasons I rated the restaurant very good as opposed to excellent ? First, the whole arrival system. It was a complete disaster. Second, the lettuce in the salad wasn 't chopped up. The knife they gave me was basically a butter knife. It was difficult to cut the salad into pieces to eat. Third, the wine list is extensive but extremely limited for wines by the glass. Considering the fact that many customers are driving there for lunch or dinner, a bottle of wine is unrealistic. There should be some more options by the glass. Ignoring those two things, the food was superb. The young waitress was attentive. I absolutely loved the decor and theme of the Lord Crewe Arms. If in the area, I would return. Hopefully there will be a better system when and if I return."

"My partner treated me to a birthday lunch at Kipferl as we both love Käsespätzle which is a dish popular in his hometown of Voralberg in Austria. It is a dish we know well and eat often when there. Their menu promised the cheese was from Voralberg and we had high expectations for an authentic dish given this restaurant is meant to be authentically Austrian! Upon arriving we were seated quickly and ordered our meal in good time. We both ordered: käsespätzle and Kartoffel salat (Potato salad). My partner also ordered a soup of the day. Both of us had had a very light breakfast and were excited to enjoy one of our fave dishes again. The soup was watery and tasteless, made edible only by the sourdough bread. On reflection I wish we had ordered as we went along ... as this was a sure signal of the poor quality food emerging from the kitchen! When the Käsespätzle arrived the distinct cheese aroma was missing... first sign it was not what was promised. OMG! this was the WORST Käsespätzle EVER! Käsespätzle is made using four types of cheese (Käse) from the area of Voralberg This cheese is unique to Voralberg and the dish CANNOT be made without it! Without it the flavour and strongly distinct smell are missing. Whatever type of cheese they used it was definitely not the specific cheeses required for this dish The spätzle was disgusting. All you could taste was egg! The texture was wrong... it is meant to be small well formed kernels of spätzle dough instead it was soft and almost mashed... In no way did it resembled what we always eat when visiting Voralberg. The flavour, aroma and presentation was completely WRONG. The Kartoffel (potato) salad was just as awful too. Massive rounds of potato swimming in dressing. This is such a wonderful dish when made correctly... sadly this was my WORST birthday meal EVER! We were both incredibly disappointed esp. as several years ago we had tried Kipferl in Wes London (now closed) and the Käsespätzle was editle then. Clearly the chef doesn't know how to make this dish or just can't be bothered! We CANNOT recommend Kipferl as what they promise on their menu in terms of Käsespätzle is definitely NOT what it should be, not worth the price and a rip off. We were so disappointed that we ended up not having a pudding/cake and took our business elsewhere to L'Etro in London where the cakes were excellent and where I could have had a great birthday meal with my partner.. .incredibly disappointing!"

"a vegetarian restaurant that has existed in brighton for at least twenty years. I remember going 15 years ago when we last visited the city and its amazing pavillon. on Sunday we returned to the hellon and after the announcement of the lanes we discovered the restaurant again changed a lot and decided to give it to lunch. on the front of the restaurant are three dining rooms, another one on the back next to the kitchen and another outside in a small courtyard. the walls are in red tones, the floor and the tables are bright kiefer and the seats are curved ply modern we do not agree whether they were comfortable. slightly dimmed halogen down lights gave the rooms a warm cozy feeling. too midday was the place flowering, but the service was excellent, very friendly and attentive. two glasses of the prosecco later we decided to have a common tasting plate and the brot of the day with a few guides. the latter was a delicious Briochey type of brot with a hauch of orange peel perhaps the three dips were a Chive cream cheese, a mildly hot red pfeffer sauce and the oil-balsam standard. this was an excellent nibbel before the main, the Sharing plate was complex, beautiful, delicious, surprising and a complete antidote to any suggestion that vegetarian food is boring. I was created by the diversity of the aromes and, equally important, by the variety of textures that arise. essentially there are about seven different small portions that double, which makes it perfect for two. the plate included: polenta chips haloumi in a teig fondue with pickled vegetables lentil risotto with washabi roasted tomato hoisin braided tofu with sesame seeds a carrot salad with fine nudels. the spice was perfect for every taste I often find many vegetarian caffes and restaurants from salt due to health and as a result offer drastically boring aromas of otherwise well-made dressed. Anyway, we were more than impressed, so before we booked a table to dinner, that we were obviously not the only ones to do that this evening. on Sunday evening was the place full of groups of 4 6 and what looked like to be a medium ageed demographic. we shared two main dishes and two sides: mains an aubergine and tahini layer stack filled with sesame seeds and served with carrot/nudelsalate with a seaweed rice cracker. delicious. an salate with the hot, smokey pfeffer sauce as basic, on which a kartoffel rosti, then artichoke, then beet root, yogurt and finally rocket was layered. a good combination of fried/fresh, dry/humid, varied texture and color contrast excellent. what seemed to be a mixture of comminuted garden excavated with muddy sniffs disguised by an inherited ranking. perfect with the raw cleaned spinach with the odd crunch that could come from roasted lenses, for dessert we ordered two plates: I ordered kulfi a few Indian street food. essentially something like a basic of swollen weizen, granatapfel, yogurt, petals and pistachios (all with one? before them.) in addition, a caramel and black sesame cone was filled with an egg that was not identified but delicious. the cone I thought was too thick, but otherwise it was brilliant. my partner ordered something that she described as a chocolate ball of deliciousness that had a gooey caramel oozing from him I was too full of then to have more than one taste and agree with her description. acoustic was in order, but there is an area where dirty plates are returned and this has occasionally emptied like a bottle recycling truck. at one point I got such a fear that I almost lost a fork of something delicious. child-friendly yes would I take my grandmother? if she lived yes. first or last date yes I would go back, I wouldn't do that! I would definitely drive into the city suggestion: the tasting plate and a prosecco that I promise they won't be disappointed. this restaurant is a jewel and certainly one of the best vegetarians I had made a superb, clever and delicious menu well."

"Well this was a refreshing treat. Popped into Pizza Express (Upper Street) and I felt I should make use of the offers sent to me via the Pizza Express App. Truth is, I had a feeling that would happen... he he. We were welcomed in (lady friend and I) an immediately I noticed we noticed a warm and friendly environment. We sat at our table, free to choose and I got to work on the whole link the app to the table, place your order on the app, apply rewards to the order, stand up and touch your toes, spin around 3 time, do a little dance, sit back down and hope and pray. I ordered the Classic Pizza La Reine and my Lady Friend ordered the Classic Pizza Fiorentina. We also ordered the Bruschetta Originale and Garlic Dough Balls for a starters, and Raw Slaw as a side. The Garlic Dough Balls were as expected, fresh backed, gorgeously melt in your mouth texture. The Bruschetta Originale was good, however the base was more or less a large oval shaped Dough Ball, half flattened. It started to feel all a bit too doughy, but it was fine in the end. The pizzas were actually quite good. I was surprised by this. The last time I visited Pizza Express was about 10 years ago. I was never too moved by the pizzas at the time. My Classic Pizza La Reine (without Ham) was pretty good. The quantity and ratio of mushroom to olives was spot on and baked to perfection. My lady friend reported similar of the Fiorentina. The icing on the evening had to be our designated waiter who was just fabulous all evening. It felt like if I had asked for a Lamborghini, he would have simply replied.. Be right with you Sir This guy was fine dining, seriously. I made sure to let him know as well, and typically he just remained humble with a shy 'thank you ' and proceeded to tend to our empty water glasses. Top notch geezer!!! Definitely recommend this Pizzerie!!!"
