King James Pub in North Hertfordshire

My partner and I stopped off during a long drive here for lunch. The food and service were great, we will be coming back again! Special mention to Teja who was very welcoming and helpful behind the bar.

Another lovely meal at the King James 🥰 I can recommend the handmade snacks too - spicy cashew nuts were my favourite!

Had a lovely Mushroom and Halloumi burger yesterday 👍 Great Value Lunchtime deal. We definitely recommend and will return 👌

Had such an amazing meal today with my family. The food was amazing and the service was outstanding. I’m always wary of pub foods but this place has exceeded my expectations! We will definitely be back! Thank you. 🙏

Excellent pub, with attentive & welcoming staff. Hosted birthday party for us, on a Friday night, by sectioning-off part of the pub. Buffet food was excellent, with some to spare. Thank you... great stuff!

I recommend the King James for the amazing staff who do their utmost to keep everyone happy. I'd been here several times and have always felt welcomed so I celebrated my 50th birthday with a group of around 30 people and we had an area reserved. Nothing was an issue, the food was excellent and I can't say how helpful, friendly and attentive the staff were ensuring I had the most enjoyable, relaxed & memorable evening

Great time, great food. Really good atmosphere, enjoyed it a lot. Staff were great, Rishi and Abi deserve a shout out.

Fantastic evening at King James Pub. Food was amazing value and very tasty Well done for a great Pub 👍👍

I had a great time for my birthday Nikhil was very nice and accommodating and the burgers and chips were lovely. Would recommend this pub

Their burgers are amazing, and so are their onion rings. The atmosphere in there is always cheerful and upbeat, and Rishi is always friendly and helpful. Whether I'm there for drinks, or for dinner, I always have a wonderful time.

Really good service, excellent food in a nice, relaxed atmosphere

Best pub in Royston. Good beer, atmosphere, and the owners are great

Went on the offer two for one burgers at lunchtime. Great value and burger and chips was really tasty. Pleasant staff too. Well done

Brilliant night celebrating with the new owners. They had a duo on playing live music and it made a cute little pub even more perfect for a Friday evening! Will be back the next time I'm out in Royston.

The homemade burgers are really tasty, service is warm and friendly, as is the atmosphere.

An absolute hidden gem ! Having undergone a complete refurbishment this place really needs a visit ( although it was tempting to keep it a secret ) ! Beautifully and tastefully relooked, this is the perfect pub for a quieter atmosphere, space for a catch up over a glass of wine or good beer, a light lunch ( with some fabulous lunchtime deals 12-3pm) , calming music and very friendly welcome and excellent service from a team who really show they care. I highly recommend.

The best chicken curry bowl. Nothing like you'd expect but sooo delicious. I came in to watch the rugby last week on my own - the sole Bokke supporter - and had a fantastic evening with no hassle! I shall be back this Saturday 💯. Thank you, King James! Christina

lovely vibe in here - and had the chicken bites with a pinot grigio. the chicken has such a lovely bit of spicing, with a delicious heat. have it!

Very good service. Really enjoyed food.

Beers are pretty good (especially for Royston), burgers & curries are great and the staff are lovely. What more do you want in a local pub?

Crazy chicken curry bowl ever had in Royston Decent Ambience and polite staff A go to place in Royston for sure

Just had the most amazing lamb curry Well presented tasty and reasonably priced Lovely polite staff

I personally feel that they should make kareoke nights less frequent, rather than the current every two weeks basis. Three weeks would best suit the routine, in my opinion.

I would definitely recommend this pub to anyone I speak to . with a lovely atmosphere. great attentive staff who will do anything to make your time there better. The food is the best around nice-fresh and perfect cooked . I can’t fault this pub at all Plus they are dog friendly

My husband has motor neurone disease, and often finds it difficult to be understood when ordering in pubs. The staff at King James are absolutely wonderful, they take time for him to speak, they listen to him and make him feel welcome. They offer assistance discreetly. Just wonderful people. The food and beer is great too. Can’t thank them enough for making him feel “normal “

Very friendly pub and welcoming for dogs.

An excellent new pub in Royston, good food and events.

Lovely pint of Landlord Timothy Taylor 👌🏻

Visited for the first time and really enjoyed it. Good selection of beers/ales, friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere inside the pub. Also, the toilets were spotlessly clean which is always a big plus.

Wow. What a great pub to have in Royston right in the centre of town. Lyndsey was an amazing server very friendly. No problems and food was top point!!

Nice hospitality and friendly staff, excellent, food love the ambience

Best food ever had! Can you handle me is the must try

Lovely newly refurbished pub in Royston, nicely decorated and the staff are very friendly. We had a great lunch in the courtyard, the hot chic burger was delicious! Great to see local Buntingford Brewery on cask too 🍻

An excellent pub where atmosphere and decoration are well-deserving of a 5 star review. The landlord and his team are incredibly friendly and, on the Friday night we attended, the live music was without flaw. Of all the pubs in Royston, there are none better than the King James if you want good food, drink, or a spectacular atmosphere. The decoration is a brilliant fusion of classic architecture and modern charm, the range of drinks (and pricing) is great, and the staff are friendly and accommodating. Thank you to the team.

Among all the pub closures it's great to see one re-opening. Nice interior, friendly staff, good selection of ales and nice home-made burgers. It's a great addition to the town and I wish them every success. My only request would be to see if they could sell local ale e.g. Buntingford Brewery which is based only a couple of miles away?

An amazing newly opened pub great addition to our town. Great service and good quality food. The entertainment is very popular. My daughter loves playing the piano when we are there. Happy days.

Fantastic and newly opened local pub in a great location. We came within the first month of opening to check it out on a Friday night. We really enjoyed our evening. The decoration is fantastic, great food and drink options at reasonable prices. Very relaxing and tranquil with soft music playing in the background. We met the owner, who was kind and friendly. Glad to see this pub open again in a new fashion!

Absolutely love this place so great to see this pub brought back to life. Live music and open mic night was brilliant. Food and service 10/10.

First time going and its really good karaoke night other fridays if u fill like singing.

Really nice new pub with attentive and helpful staff. Their burger deal at lunch time is great value, and the food itself was lovely, with really good sized portions.

Very nice place with very nice staff. If i could i would give the place a 10/10

Very warm welcome by staff.Good food as specially have vegetarian options too.Lovely atmosphere when I visit here.

A lovely place , nice ambiance , pleasant staff . Food is excellent too .

Visited the pub yesterday and it has amazing ambience. The food is amazing mainly a unique this CAN YOU HANDLE ME? it's awesome and nachos are very tasty too. Must try if you are in royston and nearby places.

Lovely, proper pub -- very welcome addition to the town. Staff are friendly, drinks are reasonable price, nice selection of grub too. Well worth a visit!

Nice pub and a tasty burger for a honest price. I'd recommend the addition of a halloumi burger option to the menu

Very simple menu, but reasonably priced and good drink selection. Music was mostly acoustic songs of pop songs when we were there, but it does grow on you 🙂 And you can always play “guess the song title and artist” 😆

Exceptionally great food, and great service, the outdoor serving was a huge plus aswell. Ate here for 3 days straight and couldn't get enough of it.

This newly upgraded pub is a great addition to Royston - with friendly staff (we were served by Grace), tasty food, live music and a welcoming family friendly atmosphere.

Wonderful pub , great food very friendly and relaxing. I came in two days ago and had to come back for the food 10/10

Sympathetic revamp of a great little pub, good to see it back.

Great little local pub. Dog and family friendly. Decent beers altho limited menu. Live music on a Friday nite a big plus 😊 Great improvement on the previous iteration 👍👍

Great to have this pub open again with a fantastic face-lift. Lynsey served us and was absolutely brilliant, what a great host! Will be coming back regularly.
