Dining at Butlins Bognor Regis.



Introduction / Dining / Accommodation / Entertainment / Team
One of the most important elements to a great holiday is fantastic food and plenty of it, I'm not one of those who can leave half my meal. One of the highlights of our holiday was

our premium dining package which enabled us to dine in the Deck restaurant. The Deck has loads of self serving stations along with a grill counter and a wok station. You are free to help yourself to as little or as much as you desire. You can see this arrangement is really suiting my style of eating.
The worry for me is when you increase quantity you lose quality but this has not happened here. The food that they use is very high quality and this is telling because ever mouthful left you satisfied. The bacon especially was thick and perfectly cooked and was one of our food highlights of the week. My dad who came with us opted for bacon between freshly toasted bread most mornings.


We loved that when you finished with your plates and cutlery, team members were ready to clear dishes very quickly. This made going up for more far easier as there was room on the table and ultimately you didn't feel embarrassed to have piles of plates beside you.

Something which we were unaware of until we arrived, was that you were able to swap your dining package on the day for vouchers to eat at one of the Bognor Regis onsite restaurants. This was something you'd have to do early in the morning as there were limited vouchers available. Upon confirming with the hotel receptionist that we were able to dine at our desired restaurant they would pass us our vouchers. We dined out at Papa Johns and Turners during our stay instead of eating at the Deck which is the designated restaurant for the premium dining package.
We could have chosen to get vouchers for the following onsite restaurants Turner's, The Beachcomber Inn, The Diner and Papa John's Pizza

Papa Johns
We loved our experience eating out at Papa Johns we all opted for the all you can eat pizza buffet. You were not restricted to pizza you can help yourself to unlimited salad and also there was two delicious pasta pots to dig into. My personal favourite was the BBQ chicken pizza and cheese pasta but that didn't stop me trying every type of pizza. The service we received at Papa Johns was great they were extremely busy but the team members were helpful and fast at getting us seated and getting our drinks.

Turners


Provides an ultra slick and modern fine dining experience within a minutes walk from our hotel. We found the menu to be somewhat light on meal choices but what I received was so delicious I want too disappointed. The menu aside the restaurant was very comfortable and generally a nice place to be. One of the things we really liked in turners was the toilets they were very nice good enough to have in your home. The team members were very helpful and were obliging and offered to take a family snap of us whilst we waited for our food.

These were not your only choices as you could choose from a few of the onsite restaurants. Generally at about 12 the kids wanted some lunch, there were a number of places you could grab a quick bite to eat from. We generally stuck to Burger king and the Soho bar which was attached to our hotel for lunchtime with the kids. We would have liked there to have been a larger table in the hotel room so we could perhaps prepare a few lunches in our room.

Overall dining at Butlins Bognor Regis was a pleasure the only restrictive thing we found was that staying in the hotel made it difficult to self cater for kids lunches and snacks.
