We were taken to our table and it was explained we could either order at the table using the QR code or go up to the counter and order there. I went up to the counter. I ordered a pepperoni pizza and a hot dog with juice and a latte. The pizza was ok, nothing special the hot dog sausage was more like a Cumberland sausage than a hot dog sausage but again was ok. The star rating of this review would of been higher but the quality of the food did not match the price, far too expensive even for a zoo. The servers were polite and well presented. The toilets were clean and tidy.

Very impressed by the service at Grasslands Restaurant. Ordering is done via QR code but staff came over to check about my dietary requirements which I really appreciated. Good lunch (traditional hot dog served with fries) and a really great oat milk vanilla mocha. Lovely smiley serving staff made the experience.

For a zoo restaurant it was okay, but nothing more. The pizza was small, the salad felt a bit off with an unpleasant dressing, and the hotdog was just standard. Prices were on the higher side. With goodwill, a 3/5.
