The Crooked Spoon - Menu

Despite some issues with booking a table and a few unexpected cancellations, dining here was the best experience among all the restaurants in Alton Towers. The food quality was surprisingly excellent, and the service was friendly and efficient. I wouldn’t choose to eat anywhere else in the park.

The atmosphere is calm, and the staff is attentive. Although the menu has a limited selection, the food is delicious. No reservations are needed—just walk in, and you won't encounter any issues. Overall, it’s an enjoyable experience. I highly recommend that anyone staying at Alton Towers Hotel, pods, or Enchanted Village choose to dine here instead of the Secret Garden; it’s a much more pleasant experience. Service: Dine-in Meal type: Dinner.

The food was decent, but we had to wait over 45 minutes. When we asked the staff how long it would take, they reacted poorly and responded with bad attitudes. When our food finally arrived, one of our orders, the vegan chicken nuggets, was missing. Although it eventually came, it turned out to be regular chicken instead of vegan. At that point, we decided to leave because of the terrible service. I definitely recommend avoiding this place and opting for one of the hotel restaurants instead. Food rating: 2/5. View menu

Whether it's breakfast or dinner, this place is just great. the workers are so beautiful and helpful, and a short scream for val and james, both had a nice chat with us and let us smile. eating is excellent, and the portions are really generous. everyone here is stellar and a joy to be here. at the end, for starters, pornstars and extras it was £53, which is quite standard for most restaurants. when they add in brilliant service, it is an absolute steal. a wonderful addition to a wonderful journey away. Go on super, young!

I enjoyed a great breakfast buffet that offered a wide variety of dishes. From chalk to sausages, you could assemble a hearty full English breakfast plate and more, courtesy of the Crooked Spoon. Guests also had the option to choose from cereals, fresh fruits, yogurt, and pancakes, all accompanied by fresh orange or apple juice, tea, coffee, or milk. However, I had a disappointing experience with the room service. We ordered pizzas to our lodge on Wednesday, October 24, 2022, and they were far from properly cooked. Instead of being baked, they seemed to have been microwaved, leaving the dough raw and the cheese swimming in oil—altogether inedible.

We dined in the evening after making a reservation in advance. There was a slight wait before we received the menu, but the restaurant wasn’t too busy when we arrived and closed soon after. The ordering process involves a real person taking your order at the table, and the staff was exceptionally friendly. The menu offered a good variety of options and was reasonably priced for a restaurant in the park. Our food arrived quickly and tasted just as good as it looked. The burger was juicy, not dry, and the steak was delicious. The dishes were served warm, but not excessively hot. Desserts are listed on a separate menu, which features a nice selection. Our favorite was the Crooked Mess. We enjoy... View menu

Absolutely brilliant place for dinner. We went into our reservation here a bit pensive as the previous night of our stay we eat at The Secret Garden restaurant and it was absolutely awful. The Crooked Spoon however was amazing and we are so glad we ended our stay on such a high. From the moment we sat down and was greeted by our waiter Robert we felt so relaxed and in safe hands, Robert couldn't have been more helpful and nothing was a problem for him to do. We ate some sharing Nachos to start, aSirloin Steak that was cooked medium as requested and a Tennessee Burger which again was amazing. The chefs are certainly good here as all was cooked perfect. The portion size was massive, we couldn'...

Went for dinner here as part of my sister’s birthday weekend away. We were told they could not seat our party of 9 as there were no tables free. We witnessed a suitable table become free but were told it would take a half hour to clear. After offering to clear the table ourselves, so we could sit together, we were bluntly told no and ushered to two separate tables. Menus were dirty and sticky. So much so, you wanted to wash your hands after touching them. No table service. Ordered food and drink at the bar. Which arrived fairly promptly and the quality of the food was good overall but overpriced. We sat surrounded by dirty tables. No tables were cleared throughout our visit. You would expect...

I visited The Crooked Spoon for breakfast as part of a stay in one of the Enchanted Village Treehouses. This review is solely based on the experience at The Crooked Spoon and not the Enchanted Village Treehouse which was great. Upon arrival, the waitress found our booking, however due to the clear chaos that had been unfolding during the breakfast service, there wasn’t one available – not the best start. What’s the point in a booking system if you’re not actually reserving tables for people? The whole experience was nothing short of disappointing. There wasn’t enough plates or bowls, so we had to wait 10+ minutes just for some crockery. The food was poor quality, cold and really sub-par. The... View menu
