I am planning on booking Butlins for next week but I just wondered if anybody could give me any advice. Am I better to book the gold room or is the standard room sufficient. With regards to food etc what did you do?

It depends if you want to be able to cook. Standard rooms have no cooking. Standard apartments do. Gold apartments have three bedrooms even if they say they only have two at Skegness. Gold apartments are the furthest from the main tent but nothing is that far apart.
I prefer premium dining. There's a choice of two venues. If you go in the quieter one you can still walk through and get your food at the busier one (deck) and bring your food back.

We went last year and had a silver apartment but it was right at the far end of the complex. Not sure of the different between gold and standard but there are loads of facebook groups with plenty of info.
We went for food court dining and found it to be absolutely fine. Always something for everyone and plenty of choice. No issues with quality of the food or anything.
Heading back in October this year and decided to go with standard rooms which are closer to all the entertainment. The family member we went with had a standard room last year and it was absolutely fine. You won't spend too much time there anyway!
