Cheers!

Thank you 🙏

Thank you for the Loki's recommendation of the baguette and chips - loved it. This video was great

[@jimmyp7928]

Very informative thanks. Didn't fancy the look of Scott's burger, it made a Rustler's look good.

[@yourexperienceguide]

It was awful 😣

[@ollieluke9484]

Really enjoyed this vlog......would like to see more food or merchandise reviews....even just a look round the shops and stuff. Top stuff again!

[@1973pb]

A good honest review, gotta say we enjoys sitting outside coasters near icon. Kids meals are really good value and the chicken wraps are lovely.

[@yourexperienceguide]

I used to like it in there around 2014/5, they had such a good menu.

[@Mikeb1001]

Good spot to have a beer tbf!

Great stuff lads. Really informative...I know where I'll be eating when I next visit! 👍

I remember when the burger place opposite Alice In Wonderland sold chips in a bucket with a spade! That was so cool ❤ pizza place looks fab 🤩

[@yourexperienceguide]

They still do

[@ems6413]

@pleasurebeachexperience. Oh they do? Awesome 🤩 I haven't been in years but when I go back I'm getting them again 😍

[@anyalee5056]

super useful information for an upcoming trip with my best friend (who has never been to BPB before) thank you so much! What a cool and fun idea for a video - love your content guys! :)

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you have a great trip

[@davidsthemeparkadventures]

This is really useful information for our planned visit this year. To be fair the food actually looks fairly decent compared to Merlin, but that probably says more about Merlin than BPB.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you for watching and commenting

[@eddienhp]

This is actually the best idea ever! I would never notice that you and mike would want to do a food vlog at Blackpool Pleasure Beach! I liked that you both are honest about the food at that park! But anyways, great video!

I suggested it (probably others did too). Just saying.

Great vlog as always guys 🎉

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thanks Andy!

[@themeparkawesome3401]

Thanks for sharing. I found this video very helpful. That Fish & Chips looked nice. Personally when I head to Pleasure Beach for the first time I'm properly gonna take my own food onsite just because I be focusing on getting on many rides as possible. But on my second + times I properly will tuck into one of the Food options there.

[@yourexperienceguide]

BPB doesn't allow guests to take their own food into the park

[@danielmorris9159]

I like the fish and chips there looks busy there with it being half term week.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you, hopefully it’s helpful to people 🍔

[@handsoffmycactus2958]

Great video, really informative and some places I just don’t think of going to! One place I think you forgot about is the southern fried chicken place near the fountains, I’ve only ever got drinks from there but always wondered about the food. Maybe a follow up video could be about the donuts, sweets, slushies, and ice creams?

[@yourexperienceguide]

Last time I ate there it made me ill so I swerved it and so did Mike.

[@englishworldkitchen]

I used to love the hot dogs in the 80’s (I think they were called Willy Würst). BPB really upped the food offer in the last 20 years as it used to be very limited.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you for watching and commenting

[@annscott3404]

I remember a Willie Wurst with great fondness xx

[@mousecharger]

Really enjoyed this updated food vlog. That lo ki meal looked really nice but I'll definitely try ice lounge price seems reasonable

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you

[@kkrispy2009P]

Lovely food reviews I like you visit all the outlets even if you don't eat. I wonder if you do other parks just for content or accuracy on parks

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thought about it at Towers but TPW have that covered. BPB easiest one for us to reach.

[@Mikeb1001]

Other parks are harder to do as we don’t have the luxury of being able to visit multiple times to go through all the outlets - Thorpe is a long way and a lot of petrol to then buy £40 of food each time!

[@RollerbazAndCoasterDad]

Loki's for us. Great value and venue

[@yourexperienceguide]

It’s a great choice

[@duckieloooveschocolate]

Well done lads good info b at park in2 weeks time thanks

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thanks, have an excellent visit

[@andrewbrazier9664]

Ice Lounge was where I headed when I saw you struggling to get food at Loki. Served in 30 seconds, always a good range of subs & excellent coffee 👍 Our default food venue at Pleasure Beach tbh. Especially as we only have a day at best at the park so don't want to waste 15 - 30 minutes to get served.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Ice Lounge is usually decent, I've not personally had any issues at Lokis but Mark did on 20th May

[@thellamaking7248]

My 3 favourite places to eat in pleasure beach is Beach Burger, Pizza Kitchen and Southern Fried Chicken opposite the fountains which you dident cover I feel that Pleasure Beach Food quality is actually quite good and I honestly don’t mind paying around £8-9 for a burger meal with season pass discount and it makes me very grateful to not be buying and eating Overpriced Soggy Prison Food served by Aramark at the Merlin Parks I like at Beach Burger where the price is ok for a theme park I watched the guy cook and prepared my burger fresh to order and it tasted actually very nice Merlin should be taking notes of Pleasure Beach food

[@yourexperienceguide]

The Aramark situation is not ideal at the Merlin parks

[@Paul_UK]

Interesting review. The fact you never seem to see Pleasure Beach staff eating at the park says it all about the food they offer. You two guys don’t look like fussy eaters! 😂

[@yourexperienceguide]

That’s because BPB staff have staff areas where they go for food, which is the same at most theme parks. And yes, I am a fussy eater, doesn’t mean I don’t eat plenty of what I like. Do you have a Union Jack avatar so nobody can see what you look like?

[@karlkay5554]

I worked there last season I ate the food from certain places but as this channel has stared staff have food areas to eat it's called funshine it's cheap as chips not great not bad

[@johnpagan1975]

Had the chicken baguette the last time I visited and it was lovely.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Mike was well happy with it

[@HolyFreakinDragonSlayer]

Great review Scott and Mike. To be fair not all round bad park prices (some areas better quality also). Can't grumble 2quid odd at a tray of chips to share with a packed lunch for a family treat on a budget too. Fish and chips looked amazing Mike! One of my favourites is the oyster bar opposite 😃

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you! 🙏

[@HolyFreakinDragonSlayer]

@Your Experience Guide I do think on. Evarerage the fish and chips was worth the money on park considering the price of fish currently. Would be great to see this sort of content again please, really good information and always good to see the price of a brew and chips for us packed launchers 😃

[@keiranhyre750]

Brilliant vlog

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you 🙏

[@willjohnboy]

When I went of my family holidays between 1987 and 1999 the food was great although imo the chippies were the star i hope thats still the case.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Bentleys Chippy is great

[@edmundandlucy]

Very informative video guys, what are the payments like in the park overall, are all the food places card only or do they take cash payments, last time i was at the park pretty much all the food kiosks were card only but that was just after the covid lockdowns

[@yourexperienceguide]

They’re all card only

[@Mikeb1001]

Whole park is cashless except for a couple of independent outlets within the park (Madame Crevettes and the Oyster Bar)

[@hellonpluto]

I liked the barbecue burger next to avalanche.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Nice one great review chaps 🧱👍🏽

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you 🍔

[@SatanasCat]

Is the burgerr king in blackpool pleasure beach still open? On google maps it says permanently closed

[@yourexperienceguide]

It was there in 2023

[@kevinseymour8793]

What a great idea, not sure I have ever seen a dedicated food tour of BPB before, with the exception of the very poor Cheeseburger I thought all the food looked perfectly acceptable, the burger opposite Alice and the Fish and chips my favourite of what I saw, and we usually enjoy pizza kitchen too. Perhaps I'm just used to London/Southern prices but I thought it was all extremely well priced, you can't get Fish and Chips for less than about £8 around here for certain. If only these weren't the prices for our Europa Park visit in June for my 50th, sit down restaurants minimum 39 - 195 euro per head, no refillable drinks options and merch out my league T shirts 35 euro Sweats 79 euro....Portaventura with the full board vouchers from Gold River and very good value clothing and novelties was so much easier to budget for. Do they still offer a package for unlimited Drinks/Food at BPB , not sure it would be the best option except for those late opening long days on park. Hope to see more of this from you and Mike, was very pleased to hear you weren't doing the video on 1 visit!!!

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thanks Kevin. As far as the prices go, I think maybe me and Mike are just being tight because there is cheaper (and sometimes better) options on Pleasure Beach's door step. I enjoyed doing this video, it was good to have a little project on the go.

[@Mikeb1001]

They do drinks deals, £12.99 I think (don’t quote me), hot or cold drinks, if you go to the left of Noah’s Ark there’s a unit which sells them

[@kevinseymour8793]

@@Mikeb1001 Thanks Mike

[@farangtravels3956]

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you 🙏

[@stephenharrison9374]

are they not doing the all you can eat deal this year?

[@yourexperienceguide]

Not seen anything of it

[@kane211]

soft drinks should be refilled like in the USA

[@yourexperienceguide]

UK parks make a lot of their secondary spend from food and drink

[@Mikeb1001]

They do offer a refill bottle option for around £12.99 - I will say though, I don’t think it represents the same value in the UK as it does at, say, Cedar Point due to the lower temperatures which mean you aren’t taking on as much fluid anyway, but also the much reduced opening hours - a £2.09 bottle of Pepsi (with pass discount) lasts significantly longer in the UK

[@AudreyMealiff]

Hey lads, great vlog. Can I just ask were there ANY gluten free options in the park? I couldn't find anything really when I was there in July 2022. None of the menus that I saw were marked with allergens which was very disappointing, in these modern times when dietary requirements should be a top priority. I did read that the pizza place does gluten free bases but I think that was closed when we were there. Maybe Lokis has something to offer for people who need to eat a gluten free diet now, it does look like it has potential. As a side note, Vintros at the other end of town has a fantastic gluten free menu and it was the best meal I had in the 3 days we spent in Blackpool. 10 out of 10!

[@Mikeb1001]

Honestly don’t know - it’s not something we look for as it doesn’t affect us but an interesting point

[@AudreyMealiff]

@@Mikeb1001 It's definitely worth including in your next food vlog, Mike. There are plenty of visitors like me (coeliac) who may struggle to find food in the park, so if you could give a bit of info of a few little hidden gems where we could eat, that's a win! Also vegan, vegetarian, etc. Thanks a mil. ❤

[@Mikeb1001]

[@yourexperienceguide]

Honestly didn’t look, sorry! We should have looked at this. We’ll probably do one of these every season now so it’s good knowing what else we need to be thinking about.

[@MaJoRMJR]

Given a limited edition McDonald's burger is over £5 these days, it's decent value for a burger. I will just point out, M&S Cafe charge £6 for a cheese and ham toastie...now that's a rip-off.

[@yourexperienceguide]

The Maccies limited edition stuff is always very overpriced but then there's a double cheese burger at under 2 quid.

[@mrflashbang5445]

A macdonalds burger actually contains beef though, that's the difference ;)

[@DarkHenry23]

Great video again. I just wish you had added Mark’s chicken review into this video so I could watch it again. Still makes me howl. 😂😂

[@yourexperienceguide]

😂😂 Still complaining about it

[@simonmacdonald7645]

Hello again Scott and Mike Blackpool pleasure Beach should lower the prices for the food choices in the park Just a couple of pounds and they would definitely have more people with their families buying more food and drink We always buy in the park as people do Scott Food drink and merchandise aswell Pleasure beach should definitely review there food and drink prices Otherwise people just won't buy They would go to weatherspoons to eat then return to the park For the rest of the day Thanks Scott and Mike

[@yourexperienceguide]

BPB will always have competition from local places like Spoons, Bentleys and so on, and do need to stay on top of their game to avoid people going elsewhere

[@danielbooth2982]

Brilliant video. I actually don't think that the Chippy is that expensive myself bearing in mind the rising cost of Fish. Would be nice to see you rate Coasters food as well in the future.

[@yourexperienceguide]

We need Mark to review in there, neither me or Mike like much (if anything) on the menu.

Whats the point in having burgers when you have Burger King on site?? Best food I can recall was in the early 80's when there were Bratwurst ( Willie Wurst I think they were called?)...They were well priced and tasted fab......

[@yourexperienceguide]

They’ve always had a variety of places you can get a burger from, I guess there’s less profit margin for BPB when people go to BK

[@KellyCactus]

To be honest I think the all you can eat place is terrible quality with a bare bones boring salad bar option, but the fish and chips looks very good value! Can't get a fish and chips near where I live for less than that really!

[@yourexperienceguide]

It really does depend when you go, on 20th May I was in there and it was great, but when Mike filmed his review of it I'd said no not doing it based on how bad my previous experience had been. There's just no consistency.

[@colettemikaelson160]

we love the food in the big blue, and pizza/pasta last two times we have been though service has left a lot to be desired. we were left sat waiting for half hour before the manager pointed out to the lady we were still waiting. It was the same lady both times so it might just be a her thing rather than overall thing. bonus they do gluten free pizza to order. never eaten anywhere else on park, that said Lokis is looking good at the moment with the Rotis Chicken

[@Mikeb1001]

I did have the rotisserie chicken on media day (not reviewed as I didn’t pay for it and special occasion so we felt it would be a bit of false outcome) and it was a really nice meal
