The pool is about halfway between GP and Roaring Forks. You still have to go pick it up from either location (GP has a place to order around the side - you don't need to go into the bar/eating area) but it gives you a decent range of options. Personally, I'd rather go sit at GP even at the bar (which we've done many times) just because of the atmosphere. And there are picnic tables outside Roaring Fork under the roofline so you can stay out of the sun or rain. IMO, both areas are nicer to eat at than around the pool, but there's definitely options.
