Crystal Palace...lunch or dinner?

[Weeziblu]

are the menus basically the same?

just thinking about our best arrangement for the day... mid day break from the
August heat and do lunch? I do wonder if eating a full buffet at lunch will weigh us down for the rest of the day.

What time do they switch over from lunch to dinner?

TIA

BREAKFAST!

We have eaten here for breakfast, lunch and dinner and by far, Breakfast is the best!

If you are set on lunch/dinner, one suggestion is to get a LATE breakfast/EARLY lunch say 10:45am, more of a brunch time and you will get to enjoy the end of breakfast and the beginning of lunch.

If you do decide on breakfast, go on a day without EMH and try and get an 8am breakfast. You can get into the park with hardly no one else there and you can get some GREAT pictures of the castle without anyone in them.

Several years ago, CP offered a Sheppards pie for lunch that was to die for and I would have picked lunch but they don't offer it anymore and I was not happy with anything (with the exception of the carved meats) that we had available for lunch or dinner the last couple of times that we have gone.

menus are basically the same!! The only thing that is different is the peel and eat shrimp at dinner ( we don't like this anyway) and the Curry Mussels are only at dinner. We enjoy sitting down to a big lunch mid day, then walking it off all afternoon with dinner being a quick counter service while most are using that time to sit down to eat. I hope this helps!! my kids are always worn out by the end of the day and ate better for lunch

I agree with Breakfast, this one of our favorites for an early morning start! Did dinner once, was ok.

We have only tried CP for breakfast. Getting that early breakfast ADR and walking in before the park opens is such a neat experience. We tend to like the buffets for breakfast-we carbo load for the day and eat an early CS dinner. Have fun!
