Lets make it clear, we've decided to put the backlot cafe into the food stall category.
This is an extremely busy food outlet with thousands crossing its counters each day, its a midway point on your magical fantastic Harry Potter Tour.
Options are limited as you'd expect with such a high turn over in food production every hour.
Burgers, chips, hotdogs & butterbeer are the dishes mainly on hand.
Quality: This is a conveyor system, fast pace dining, chips are your standard serving with what ever sauces you wish to cover them in, for the southern fried chicken burgers, dry, over cooked, super cripsy & no real volume of chicken fillet, however the pulled pork loaded fries were plenty of which filled in the gabs you pork is the usual bag pack quality. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Value: This is the only main hot food vendor on the tour, prices are like festival or fair ground rates, this can be even more price tag heavy for a family outting, for what you get its normal slap dash food for this style venue, put sharing is the option to avoid the food bill. ⭐️⭐️
Taste: Plain, blandness & nothing to rave about here for such the only fastfood outlet, we were surprised by the pulled pork loaded stuff but that's all down the sauce again. ⭐️⭐️
Consistency: There's no differences, your portions are unified, food on parade everything looks the same & is cooked to maximise demand, we anticipated this & fair play to the backlot cafe. ⭐️⭐️
It's a take it or leave it, maybe save that cash for the experience of the tour, chocolate frogs, honeyduukes, butterbeer or wands enjoy the magic of the Happy Potter experience.

We decided on a few kids meals as a 'put on' until the meal we had planned for after the tour. Food was OK- pleasantly surprised with the veggie burger, the meat ones were very well done.
Queued up and was greeted by a young lad with a face like a smacked ar*e and and an attitude to match it. Telling everyone to 'stand back!' like we were all trying to push our way through the doors for the Next Boxing Day sales! ... there was certainly no pushing, we don't get THAT excited over burgers... Then the young lad that served us looked like he'd had his soul sucked out by a dementor... not an ounce of customer service skills between them. Or maybe they were in character...
Read moreI've never written a review before, but I had to leave one for this restaurant. The burger (backlot burger) they served is by far the worst food that I've eaten in my life. It seems that they made the burger with the leftover plaster that used to build the tree trunks in the movie. The tomatoes and lettuce were probably washed out with chlorine to make sure that they have zero taste. As for the ban, I'm still unsure of how they messed up with that one. If someone wants to feel how it is to have COVID19 that hit your taste then they only have to pay 9.50 pounds at...
