King Henry's Feast

[esprit]

This is yet another dinner show. It takes place in the fake old castle situated on International Drive. Based on the medieval banquet theme with everyone seated at long tables. Serving wenches come in with buckets full of food which they slap on the table. You are encouraged to yell 'bring on the next repast' which is the indication that another bucketfull is needed. Food, eaten off pewter plates and with fingers, was extremely mediocre and free beer and wine tasted watered down. Entertainment was good howver. Actors were all Englsh. We saw King Henry dressed as Merlin in the Duelling Dragons area of Islands of Adventure the next day so he obviously has a day job. Musicians up on the mistrels gallery play Greensleevss and there is a court jester, fire eater, juggler, trapeze artist- all the usual fare. King Henry presides and picks a wife from the audience. At the end, the jester ( also English, who also does a nice line in Olde Englishe folk songs) , does some games with the kids. Not a bad night out if you are not worried too much about the standard of the food.

I thought this had closed down some time ago along with Wild Bill's?

It might have. We were there about a year or so go. Castle was still there the last time we drove up 1-4 but must admit we didnt go in.

Yes, the building is still there but I think it closed down (probably just after your visit - was it something you said?). [msnwink]
