Food & Beverage: The Aramark Era begins

I popped in to burger kitchen yesterday to have a nosy as the sign outside said they now sell ice cream. Walked in at 4.30pm (6pm ride close) with the doors wide open to see all the self service screens set to unavailable and a staff member then told us they had shut for the day.
 
Corner coffee is dire now they have removed the fridges and counter displays.

Coach house confectionary is the only thing ok on that list and that’s only if you want something sweet.

But the Generator in Forbidden Valley and Loaded Fries are great

In your opinion, and your opinion is sacred, but that's not objective or emperical evidence.

If you were to conduct an opinion poll here, which you are free to do, you'd possibly find they were considered acceptable, on the verge of disappointing, for the price point.

I paid £12 for a 12" hotdog in a food market in East London today (the 6" one was £9). However it was delicious, good quality thick sausage freshly grilled with a huge choice of toppings. I don't mind paying these prices for quality food.

Stupid, overpriced, and probably a great experience and great food. I don't think anyone cares if Merlin hike the price 25% - just don't do it and drop the food quality 50% at the same time. This is all on Merlin - Aramark are just jerking the chain they were offered

They are charging Christmas market prices which would be fine if they were providing Christmas market quality, but they are delivering boot sale quality
 
So at Thorpe today I was looking at the pizza takeaway menu, and then compared it to the new takeaway menu at towers.

I assume the pizzas will be the same at both parks as they are both Aramark, but the prices are quite different!

Big difference, BBQ chicken is £4 more expensive at Towers than Thorpe, but the big one, garlic bread is £7.50 more at towers than Thorpe! And has less calories so could possibly be smaller?

I think having KFC & Burger King at Thorpe means they do think about keeping their prices more competitive.


Its very weird that the calories are so different though, you would have thought they had the same suppliers and product spec at all four UK parks.
 
I’d do anything to have Maccies and KFC back.

Tbh they could have a Wingstop and Popeyes. At least you know what you’re going to get.
