Welcome to The Crooked Spoon

“ Evening meal here, and booked beforehand. Slight queue, then seated with menu. It wasn't too busy on arrival and soon quietened down. This is an order at the table with a real person place, and the staff were really friendly. The menu had a good selection and is reasonably priced for an on-park restaurant. Food came relatively quickly and tasted as good as it looked. The burger was juicy not dry, the pork steak was lush. The food was warm but not boiling. Puddings are a separate menu and another varied selection. The winner for us was Crooked Mess. Overall 4 adult meals, soft drinks and 3 puds came in just under £100. ”

“ Some of the reviews on here just baffle me. Most from people who'll readily stand in a queue for the Smiler for 2 hours+, but want instant service from the on-site eateries serving the same heavy crowds. We stayed at the Enchanted Village for 3 days and nights. We had breakfast here twice and one evening meal. We booked ahead for each visit - an absolute NECESSITY if you expect a table. The manageress, nikki, helped us with our daughter's friend - who has an allergy - and was very professional. Indeed, all of the staff were all doing their jobs well - no rudeness (as stated by others) whatsoever. The food was, yes - expensive, but this is Alton Towers, not Crapsville. Rent isn't cheap. But all our meals were top notch, and generous portions. Breakfast was a buffet help-yourself style. I didn't try the ready-mix scrambled eggs, but proper eggs WERE available. The sausages were 'excellent' as reported by the wife (a successful acid test for sure). The other items were also very good. Nobody rushed us off our table, as reported by others. Yes, it was noisy, but this is Alton Towers! To be totally honest, the only gripe I can report about this restaurant is the incessant piped lift music. Awful! Otherwise, well done. ”

“ It was very busy when we stayed for the weekend. Advised to prebook any meal you plan to have at The Crooked Spoon. Nice atmosphere of families enjoying time together. However, it did feel the venue was too small for the number of guests in the resort. We booked breakfast each morning, and the food was good. A range of cereals, cooked breakfasts, and pastries all with unlimited coffee, tea, and juices. ”
