King of Hearts in King's Lynn and West Norfolk

Brilliant value for money and the food is epic. Service flawless. Atmosphere is lovely too. Visited here several times now and have never been disappointed. Happily will recommend and will defo be returning.

I hate leaving bad reviews but the carvery was bad. 2 choices of meat and they was the of cuts so not very nice, the vegetables was watery and just agen not very nice. I said that we have a vegetarian so no meat touching his, he used the same serving spoons meaning my dad has no idea what he could have, the tart was not even ready and to make matters worse they didn't even have vegetarian gravy, he couldn't really have nothing as he was just using 1 serving spoon for everything and it put him of so he didn't enjoy it. I'm very sorry to say we will not be returning.

they had no mash, no stuffing 2 choices of meat, got given 4 roast potatoes, peas were disgusting. basically paied for half a roast dinner. only good thing about the roast dinner was the home made yorkshire pudding. the place looks nice, staff and owner are nice but the other owners had better food.

First visit since new owners. Had Sunday carvery, delicious, all cooked to perfection. Staff very friendly and love the refurbishment. Lovely experience.

This was only the second time we’ve visited as we don’t live too near, but this family pub is definitely worth travelling to. The pub itself has had a fairly recent change of ownership apparently and they’ve re-decorated throughout. It has a traditional English pub feel but with a modern and quirky edge; really comfortable and inviting, with a huge parking area and extensive outdoor seating areas for the summer. The owners are amazing; really friendly and chatty and can’t do enough to make sure you’re happy. We last visited on a Sunday and the carvery was delicious, lots of choice and all cooked really well. There also appeared to be a good array of beers and wine and at decent prices. We will definitely be visiting again soon and highly recommend it!!

We’ve just returned after having a lovely Sunday lunch. Food very fresh, good selection of vegetables and I was really impressed with the vegetarian option. Friendly staff, lovely decor and great service. We will return

Delicious sunday lunch. Great choice on carvery,and very tasty,with all fresh food. lovely atmosphere.Very comfortable. New owners have made this pub really nice. cheerful and helpful staff. Really enjoyed our lunch and game of pool after. Well worth a visit,we definately going again, in fact its going to be our new local..,so picked up a loyalty card while we were there.

Just had a carvery and it was fantastic, best I have had for along time .The service was great ,the place is very clean, definitely recommend

Absolutely beautiful carvery all the food was very hot a lovely selection of veg to choose from the cauliflower cheese was the best we've had will definitely be returning with my family of 6 , even the kids said the food was delicious and the desserts good size portion overall definitely recommended 100% thank you king of hearts 😊

Sunday carvery... absolutely georgeous. fantastic selection of three meats and a sausage plus the biggest home made yorkshire puddings i have ever seen and then cauliflower cheese, roast potatoes, six more vegetables and real meat juice gravy. A real home made roast dinner like your nan used to make that makes you feel warm inside and satisfied.... Not only that but apple crumble and custard WOW .

Very welcoming as soon as we arrived. Great food, served promptly and worth the money. They have also made a real effort in decorating for Halloween, looks awesome. We are local and will certainly be going back.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY. Booked today for Sunday lunch for 4 adults as had heard the pub was under new management and so had high hopes. How wrong we were. When we arrived we were offered drinks and asked to pay in advance for the carvery which we did and was given a buzzer to let us know when the carvery would be ready for us. We were then shown to our table. 2 people was waiting to be served and asked to go up by the staff. The pub was not busy only 3 tables in the restaurant and 1 in the main bar. We then sat there for another 25 mins waiting while the lady behind the counter kept checking the food (which had been covered up with foil) and kept going into the kitchen area, where I could see someone standing there eating. No one checked on us or came to see if we needed anything. Eventually one of the staff walked past and looked at us and then disappeared into the kitchen. Then our buzzer went off. We gave the lady our receipt and she looked very unhappy as they had only charged us for 4 children’s carvery’s (£11.95 expensive for a child’s meal). She was very rude and aggressive then refused to serve us and also disappeared into the kitchen. We were getting really fed up by this time. The bar staff then explained that we needed to pay the correct amount, ( which was their mistake not ours) which we offered to after we had been served as we had been waiting for over 40 mins at this point. She then walked away as well. Absolutely joke!!!!! After another 5 mins, at this point we decided to leave and have a refund. The staff were shouting at each other in the kitchen and arguing as to who’s fault it was and after seeing what was on offer food wise, it didn’t look very appetising we walked out. They only had beef or gammon pre sliced and looking a bit dried up. Frozen Yorkshire puddings or larger burnt ones. The potato’s looked frozen, not fresh roasties. The veg I didn’t get to look at. While waiting to get a refund for the food ( yes they charged for the drinks), I asked who was in charge and if the owners were about. I was told they were in the back but not available. No apology, no customer service, absolutely disgraceful. When I said I’d never return all I got was a sarcastic look and smirk from the bar staff. Disgusting behaviour. NO FOOD, NO CUSTOMER SERVICE and NO APOLOGY.

What a very disappointing lunch, From the meat being cooked then cut on a slicer to the veg being boiled to death. I have had better microwave meals that taste better than this food. The beef had been over cooked and because of this had become very tasteless. The frozen veg had lost its colour. The so called roast potatoes was just as bad only one choice of potatoes.. The best thing was the Yorkshire pudding. The meal was over priced for the quality of it. Its a shame when you can cook a roast at home much better. I am aware that the pub as not long been reopened , but they really need to bring there food up to par. Felt no point in saying anything to staff as had already had bad comment from landlord about a veggie meal. You have to order the day before. Also charged full amount for a carvery that was just vegetables. Was looking forward to a nice roast as well this wasn't it

Systems seem to be set up for owners, not customers. You pay up front for the carvery then get given a buzzer. There was no one else in the restaurant, but we waited for 15mins then called over, not buzzed,then a big party arrived, so felt quite rushed. The meat was over cooked and dried out. It was left under lights without being covered. The veg was bland. Boiled leeks, carrots, white cabbage, peas. Gravy tasteless too. We didn’t stay for dessert. It’s a shame. A lot of money has been spent on renovating the pub, it looks great. I don’t think the owners are customer focused at all. The daily menu is ‘ uninspiring’ and if it’s cooked by the same person- I’m not sure it will do very well. Just such a missed opportunity to be a great local, with well cooked, local interesting food. Just another example of someone running a pub that really shouldn’t be.

Very disappointing, menus very basic but high prices. We had Sirloin steak and a good quarter was fat and gristle. 3 toms a few chips a bit if dry salad leaves. Not worth £16.95

Lovely Sunday lunch delivered to my door hot with a side of cauliflower cheese and piping hot gravy It was great after a busy Sunday morning to sit down and enjoy a home cooked Roast dinner and support one of our local pubs.

I have been going to the King of Hearts for many years, I can't fault the food, delicious and hot 😋

Went for lunch here with my craft club friends, {20 +} We were all seated promptly on our arrival at tables for 10 & 4.. We ordered & were served drinks very quickly. We all had a carvery, which was hot, delicious & plentiful. {I had the roast beef which was very tender.} Spoilt for choice with the desserts, {I could easily have eaten a small sample of each, it’s a lady thing😋😋} Delicious & more ish… I loved that we were given a little time between courses, as never like to feel rushed when dining out… It’s a lovely country pub , oldy worldly & the decor makes it very cosy… The staff were all very pleasant, friendly, helpful & organised with everything. Will definitely be returning there with our friends… Well done everyone…

If you like eating in ya granny’s front room from sticky tables to staff not knowing what is on the menu or what beers they have this place is certainly for you! Even taking into consideration COVID this place is well below par. Not so much a carvery more sloped food on plate like a prison! Give this place a massively wide bearth or maybe try the local nursing home

A very friendly host offering superb reasonable priced food in substantial quantities from a varied menu

Well it is at least 25 years ago since last here. It's a bit like going back years as nothing appears to have changed. They do a carvery a couple of times a week the rest of the time it's a limited menu. We both had ham, egg and chips which was ok. But the whole establishment really could do with a full makeover, decor, furniture and carpets etc . And dont forget the loos. Interesting that another customer on the table next to me was heard to say that the hand dryer in the gents loo wasn't working. Actually it was and you just had to touch the top right hand corner but it's not at all clear. He like me wasn't impressed with the hand towel .! It may be another 25 years before we return - if still alive!

Went for a meal here on Wednesday January 8th, for a friends 80th birthday, really lovely meal, it was a carvery with plenty of choose of veg. and also sweets, a party of 8 ,we all enjoyed it ,service was really good .could not fault it, going again on Saturday for our family get together. price was good about £10 for main and sweet.

We continued our plans for the start of a festive, happy Christmas with a recent return visit to the Carvery at This lovely pub near Wisbech, Cambridgeshire. As anticipated, the food was as delicious as ever, and the meat was so tender it melted on your tongue. With plenty of safe parking, we rapidly went in and chose our delicious food and the freshly cooked vegetables. I also treated myself to an enormous dessert from the many delicious on offer. This made a marvellous start to our pre-Christmas festivities. With a smile, the landlord and his family made sure a Happy Christmas season was under way for everyone and we could see there were many enjoying their lunches at their favourite pub!

We come to the King if hearts every year as we stay with family in the village, Nigel and Donna give us a lovely welcome every year, the pub is lovely with amazing food and drinks, can not recommend enough

Every Wednesday and Sunday this conveniently situated and elegant pub specialises in providing an absolutely stunning carvery. Each time I go there I meet other customers who remark to me how excellent each one of the other dishes are too. What makes it even more remarkable is that after receiving a pleasant, helpful welcome from the owner and his family the bonus of all choices being freshly cooked and delicious are at such affordable prices. Highly recommended by me and my whole family.

It's been many year since we last visited the King of Hearts. It has changed a lot but for the better. It was not busy but still had a nice atmosphere.the staff polite and welcoming and the furnishings old but comfortable. The service was good and the menu had some very good choices and reasonable prices. The food was all home cooked and tasted wonderful. I could not find fault with any part of our evening out with our friends. We look forward to making another visit soon.

Called in at this pub after going to the local nursery to buy plants .We have not been for 20 years and it was always good food and wonderful atmosphere.The food was carvery or choice off lunch menu .We chose carvery and i have to say we were delighted with the quality of food on offer.Delicious and it looks appetising and very well presented and very good quality .It was very nice indeed ,and if you haven’t been yet may I suggest you try it next time you are around West Walton!We will go again even though it’s a long way for us to go from Spalding.Well done to the landlord and landlady you deserve to do well.

We were a group of 20 ladies who go out for lunch monthly. We like to try different places locally. This was our first visit . We enjoyed it so much we have booked our Christmas meal hereWe had the carvery. All fresh home cooked food . Piping hot and plentiful. The meat was beef or turkey and both were delicious. The deserts were very good and huge portionsThe staff were very pleasant and helpful. Great price. The normal menu looked really good too. I can't comment on that as we didn't have that but there looked to be a good choice with nice veggie optionsHighly recommend this lovely village pub

Took the family out for Easter lunch. Everyone friendly. Prompt service. Loads to eat. Not rushed. Overall a very good experience , thank you

We visited this restaurant again after a long break, on their Wednesday Carvery at Lunchtime. As usual the food was delicious. Beef and Pork were the meats on the carvery, both were sumptuous, tender and delicious. The pork crackling was to die for, just melted in the mouth and gorgeous. Plenty of lovely vegetables, gravy and sauces to go with the meats. Trust me, this place cannot be beaten for quality and price. Had a Peach Melba for dessert. This too was sumptuous, big tall sundae glass just overflowing with unctiousness! Can't wait to visit again.

Returning after a short break to a formerly much visited charming pub in one of the prettiest local villages, we found that everything was even better than we remembered. The host was most welcoming again, as before, and it will be one of our favourites.

Contrary to the last review my family and I also had Christmas day dinner at the king of hearts, the restaurant was decorated beautifully with matching crackers ballons and lights.

Went for Xmas day dinner and what a let down 54.99 each and a treat for my dad Heinz tomato soup not homemade with frozen vege and roast parsnips and waitresses dressed in boots and jeans no service it was very disappointing am so upset but would never go back please stay away from this pub a Rip off

I have visited this pub restaurant several times and have never been disappointed with the quality and quantity of the fare. Whether one chooses the carvery or other menu options, the food is served fresh to order and the portions are generous. It is exceptional value for money. The dessert choices are good and there is a variety of hot or cold dishes..There always seem to be an extensive choice on offer. The service is friendly and hospitable. Well worth a visit !

We went here for lunch and it was very tasty home cooked food steak and kidney pie was excellent as was lasagne, it was no problem taking dogs in here and landlord was really friendly, will be back soon.

It's an old fashioned pub with florally carpets and fake beams. It wasn't very busy when we called in for a Saturday lunch. Like the pub, the menu is a bit old fashioned but cheap. One of us had the steak and ale pie which looked a bit like a school dinner but was said to taste ok and was a generous portion. My wife had scampi and chips which wasn't anything special. I had chilli which tasted very tomatoey but didn't have any kidney beans - not sure if they're a requirement. Puddings were OK and, again, cheap. If your main criterion for choosing where to eat is price, then this is a place for you, but don't expect anything special.

Repeat visit, primarily to ensure the meals are as good as previous visits. We had the evening roast, and can confirm that there has been no change. The beautifully prepared meal with all freshly prepared vegetables was hot and tasty. 2 choices of meat, beef or turkey, and generously served with lashings of a really tasty gravy. Thanks to Nigel, the landlord and Wife Donna.

Leverington short mat bowlers Our group went to the King of Hearts for lunch today, the service was excellent, the food truly lovely. It cannot be faulted we can thoroughly recommend this country bar and restaurant. KTC

Quiet family run village pub that serves really great traditional English food. We have never had a badly cooked meal. If you seek a well cooked roast meal order the “roast of the day” They do produce a regular carvery, best phone to check when. Always plenty of choice in the dessert chiller. Usually one or two ales from Wisbech brewery, Elgoods.

Average meal. Not sure how they make the cheese sauce on the cauliflower but it was awful. Yorkshire puddings not homemade. Wouldn’t go again.

Always enjoy coming here for the Sunday carvery! Great meat and vegs at good price! Would reccomend to anyone.

Stopped by for a dinner and enjoyed service from friendly staff who provided a lovely meal in a pleasant location. Good choice of food and desserts.

Very good and plenty of it nice pub nice people. The young lady behind the bar was very helpful and could not do enough. Good luck with you sliming . xx

We returned to this restaurant for the lunchtime Wednesday carvery after a long break due to illness. We were met by Nigel who is charming and serves the best lager shandy in Fenland! Our table was ready and waiting and suffice to say the food was gorgeous as usual. The beef was soft and succulent, plus crispy roast potatoes and a good selection of freshly cooked vegetables. A really good deal in deed, just right for the middle of the week!!

Lovely to see a oldie worldy pub still around in the day of the big chains. We popped in and we're served by a friendly person behind the bar, we then looked at the lunch menu. If you are used to massive menu's then this would not be for you, but for us there was a reasonable amount to choose from. We ordered at the bar and when the food was ready we were taken through to a informal restaurant area. The food was plentiful and very nice and at a reasonable price. Would Recommend the mixed meat salad, home made ham with chicken and beef.

This is a local pub. Lovely friendly couple run the place. Good food, service and friendly atmosphere. Gets very busy on a Sunday so advisable to book.

Fuimos allí para un asador domingo. No me impresionó como las patatas estaban empapadas estaban lejos de patatas asadas. El queso colliflower era muy agua y sabor no de cualquier queso. La yorkshire llameantes aún probado congelados. Tenías que apoye sobre todo la comida para...

En un tranquilo pueblo de Norfolk, a 4 km de Wisbech usted puede disfrutar de la hospitalidad, que es raro encontrar en el siglo 21. La fábrica de cervezas de suministro Elgoods wisbech, lo cual justificaría una visita al rey de corazones de todos modos....

Excelente comida en el asador. Carne asada cocinada a la perfección, mi esposa y yo hemos estado en muchos carverys en el pasado, y el Rey de corazones es de lo mejor. Toda la familia el domingo de Pascua se reunión para una comida

Fuimos allí dos veces con familiares y amigos y fue genial. Gran comida de carne asada y cerdo, budín de Yorkshire y el resto de los ingredientes. Gran variedad de desierto. Lugar pintoresco en el pueblo de Wisbech. Si estás en la zona de hacer planes para comer aquí. Se recomienda hacer reservaciones.

Went today lunchtime, and could not fault it at all. Food was excellent, hot, and very tasty. Prices very reasonable at lunchtime, £5.95, or £7.95 for 2 courses!! We will be back!!

Went here for my 70th birthday meal, carvery was on offer, and it was really good a chose of meats , several veg which you could help yourself to as many as you liked, There was a chose of at least 8 sweets, and for a price of under £10 with a drink you could not fault it, Went again for our wedding annavisary and had different meats and sweats but just as good Also have a different menu to pick from , with a wide range to choose from.

We called here as a family with two young children and our family dog. They allowed dogs in the pub area rather than the dining room, which is what we expected and we enjoyed a lovely meal. The pie was yummy and the lasagne was equally as good and the menu was reasonably priced too.Nigel (the landlord) was very hospitable and made us all feel welcome and made our visit enjoyable. Highly recommend.

We went for a mid week carvery, can't comment on the menu meals as not had any.. There is lots of choice on the carvery though some of it did look like it may have sat there for a little while - it was still tasty and excellent value. Other half had dessert and he said it was delicious. The main thing for this pubs dining area is it could do with major redecoration and brightening up, is very dated and drab. The pub has a lovely location right next to the church and really could be something special with a little investment and love.

A midweek evening meal was our choice and we were not disappointed. Good wholesome home cooked food, piping hot and served quickly. Although not an extensive menu the choice is ample for couples or families. The pie of the day was excellent and was served with proper vegetables, including cabbage, the Lasagne was so large my friend had to leave some. Unfortunately we didn't have enough room for dessert. Any day of the week is worth a try.

Went as a birthday treat and found it very unprofessional more interested in football on TV pub needs updating as do staff, and Bill wasn't itemised so couldn't check anythingWill not return. Food mediocre.

Lovely food and great service :) Sunday carvery and hot fudge desert with lots and lots of cream. Yummilicious!! definitely recommend!

I don't live far from here and remember going once years ago and really enjoyed it. After coming home from work one Sunday I decided I didn't want to cook so me and hubby popped down for a roast.It was lovely, the staff were nice and friendly and it was a reasonable price. There were two different meats to choose from (I had a bit of both) and they were both nice. There was a lot of veg so plates were piled high.Had a yummy dessert too, will definitely go back again :D

We decided to have our family meal at the King of Hearts as a change from our usual choice of restaurant and we were not disappointed!Although they were very busy and the food was a bit late, the customer service was fantastic! We were reassured the whole time that we had not been forgot about and were made to feel extremely welcome. The food was delicious and was certainly worth the wait, especially the carvery, the portions were also good and were very generous. Our waitress was fantastic, a very bubbly and friendly lady. She really topped off the whole experience with her lovely personality. It is nice to be served by someone with a smile and a sense of humour!We will definitely be eating here again in the future, keep up the good work! :D

Booked here on recommendation, and have to say the Carvery was very nice... All the meat (choice of two) was cooked well, not dry, veg was fresh and seasonal and not frozen, was again cooked well and all nice and hot..Basically the sort of roast dinner you'd expect mum to dish up at a homely family dinner, comfort food at its best... Prices were reasonable too.. with a choice of desserts...Décor, could, to be honest do with updating, but this does not detract from a very enjoyable meal, and the waiting staff were lovelyWould I eat there again.... Certainly

We all hear on the news about rural pubs and the rate at which they are closing, if this pub is anything to go by it's no wonder, I don't think I have ever been in a pub so un welcoming, we called into West Walton on our journey to Norfolk, I ordered 2 drinks and the barman was so frosty towards us it felt like we where intruding, again on the way out I placed the empty glasses on the bar with a thank you and good bye but again not even a word or a thank you in reply from the bar.

Visited this pub/restaurant in November 2015 with friends Tom and Karin. We all had various dishes, but when we examined the serve-yourself veg display, there was the most beautiful dish of cauliflower cheese I'd ever seen!!I could have put that on the table, and not bothered with a normal meal at all!Either that, or I'd have paid them to let me take it home!!Do you get the impression that I like cauliflower cheese? Well, there was enough for probably 15 people, but I like a challenge!We had a wonderful meal - sensibly priced - and can't wait to go back again!!Thank you KING of HEARTS - see you soon!

Called here in the week for lunch and what a lovely surprise.......food was excellent my partner said it was the first time hes actually tasted the ale in a steak and ale pie which was loaded with meat....huge portion sizes....excellent value for money would definitely recommend it

Everything was perfect from the food to the staff,so much choice and good value we are all looking forward to going again

This had to be special as it was the first Xmas meal with my nephew and his lovely wife and also my great nephew, who also was going to be celebrating a birthday on New Year's Day. The result apsolutely amazing even though they were very very busy. And the Christmas pudding was excellent my nephew said, he is very partial to this desert at Xmas. My nephew wants me to book it again for this year and they do not live round here.

I came here for the first time with my partner and family very disappointed that nobody served us in the restaurant, nobody came to ask us if everything was alright with our food, nobody cleaned our plates away, nobody asked to see if we wanted any desserts, we just left without anybody clearing us, I had seen that other tables had done the same!!!

We were a party of 40 senior citizens and really enjoyed our lunch. Food was excellent and the service could not be faulted. We have been here before and will return.

The food is nice but everytime I have visited there seems to be staff members outside the front smoking and I think it is inappropriate and unprofessional how do I know if they have washed their hands afterwards and then when they are serving customers it's like talking to an ashtray yukk one of my pet hates!!!!

Very warm welcome and a good choice of food. Meals arrived beautifully cooked and well presented. Will try the Sunday Carvery next time we go.

We took our friendship club for a carvery meal as it was their chosen destination fora return visit. The food was beautifully cooked, piping hot, plenty of choice, (bothfor main meal and dessert) and the staff were so friendly and considerate of theneeds of our members, We have been several times, sometimes stopping on routeto the Rose Fair etc and will be visiting for Christmas as the popular choice.

Have eaten here on an irregular basis for some time.Each time the food has been well cooked and with the help-yourself vegetable section portions are your choice.Two choices of meat,invariably beautifully cooked.Staff friendly and polite.Have brought friends here and they have all been impressed with the food and surroundings.Excellent value and good company..Recommended.Thank you to all the staff.

The food was excellent, choice of beef and pork. I tried both and cannot fault the quality and taste. All of the vegetables were fresh and local and beautifully cooked. We chose a carvery and dessert with a lovely choice of home produced items, very hard to make a choice. Excellent value for £9.95. Staff in the dining room and he bar were very pleasant. We shall definitely be visiting again.

This establishment is very welcoming and staff very helpful and friendly. This is not the first time myself and friends have been here, either in a group or individually for food. On this occasion my friend and i had the steak pie accompanied by fresh vegetables and a individual small jug of home made gravy.Result very moreish but could not eat it all. This meal again was value for money. The restaurant has a number of tables with lovely decor and a lovely atmosphere, very relaxing. The best thing about The King of Hearts is the friendly atmosphere,helpful staff and value for money food. Definitely recommend, but book a table to avoid disappoint.

food here is exellent, good as ive had anywhere.a family run pub with friendly staff.weekend and midweek carvery really first class. i recommend the king of hearts to every one i meet.

Food is great and a great price too! Well worth a visit ,beer was good as nice village pub ,and more than enough food you wont go home hungry .

We tried this restaurant last week as they do a mid-week carvery on a Wednesday. All the food was delicious especially the meat. The puds were also to die for with the White Chocolate Lumpy Bumpy being the star winner!! The only reason we have given it a 4 star rating is because there were only two meats to choose from, Beef and Gammon. We are not gammon fans for a roast dinner so it meant we all had to have beef, whereas some of us would have liked roast pork or turkey. But all in all, excellent food at a very reasonable price.

Best place to good for a good home cooked roast, in carvery form, been to the pub about 10 times in the 7 months I've lived here, and its been spot on every time, we even take our family there when they come to visit, they enjoy it also. Would recommend the family run pub to anyone. Keep up the good work.

The food was absolutely wonderful (the lumpy bumpy was top notch) the service was outstanding. Would definitely recommend :)

(The king of hearts ) I've seen a lot of people on here saying a lot of bad thing about the king of hearts. when I went with my wife the owners where so welcoming on entry we where welcomed with a smile witch u don't see that often witch was nice to see .we had a few drinks while waiting for a table the bar man was very talkative and friendly. Carvery was help your self witch was very nice. choice of pork and beef witch was cooked to how I like.there was a big choice of vedgetables and sauces to go with your food. staff where very helpful and couldn't do enough for us witch was nice . they hard a wide choice of desert's but the best was there dime bar cheese cake must try lol but over all for price and welcoming I would have to say its well worth going well done to the king of hearts for there efforts

Me and my partner and two children visited this pub recently, however I feel the need to write this review as all the staff working here were very rude, apon arrival we wasn't greeted and was told to wait whilst they cooked more roasts, we waited ages and wanted to leave but the kids wanted to stay, they serve you a tiny portion of meat and stare at you whilst you help your self to veg etc. None of the staff seemed happy to help at all and after eating our meal we was told to wait to pay! As there was not correct change. Women in charge very rude and unwelcoming, you must be local to enter here is their attitude. Would definitely not go there again, food is ok but service ruins it.

I have fond memories of eating here in the past. Many family gatherings in the main restaurant. The Sunday Carvery was always popular and good value. The pub was always full of people, indeed sometimes you had to wait for a table.Visited here one Saturday lunchtime with my mother....we were the only two occupants. The whole pub has the look of somewhere from the past. The menu dated, the food was not good, there was nobody behind the bar. I had to remove dirty plates and ask for service.Avoid this place unless a massive change takes place it will be closing soon.

Is it the worlds best carvery - no. But it is par for the course.You got a good slice or two of beef and then help yourself to all the veg you want and they had 3 or more types of veg.Had to ask for two Yorkshires otherwise would have gotten the default single pudding; (not sure why those are rationed, they have to be the cheapest thing to make). Gravy was yummy. Meal was good value all around. Service from the dining room staff was excellent. Carvery operator a bit grumpy.Wish there had been something other than carvery on Sunday to choose from, but as it happened carvery appealed when I got there. I passed on desert but one of my guest had pie and custard and it looked like a generous helping and they said it was nice. Looked made in house, but who can say.

We were pleasantly surprised - there was only the Carvery available on Sunday - But it was lovely - big portions and very good value for money - lots to choose from when it came to dessert (my favourite time) I had Apple and Blackberry pie - Scrummy - others had Lumpy Bumpy, Cheesecake & Spotted Dick. Big Car park - Easy to find. The only down side, was the decor - a bit rustic looking. Our waitress was very helpful (as we did not know what to do when we got there) & they even bought through the Lumpy Bumpy as we could not imagine what it was from the description given.

Quite a find, this Elgood's pub restaurant close to both Kings Lynn and Wisbech. Very reasonably priced meals served in what can be a very busy dining room, so best to book. Home-cooked food served with a smile and a decent pint!

The carvery was excellent with plenty of choice of meats and vegetables and all that comes with it. IN the week it is very good value but Sunday is about the same as elsewhere in the area.It does get quite crowed so best to book beforehand. Plenty of parking availableI think the standard of cleanliness all round could be improved on.

was down to visit family and was taken to the King Of Hearts for a Sunday lunch. I was expecting a nice home cooked dinner. The waitress which bought us drinks seemed too young to even work and didn't seem to know what she was doing when we asked about going up to get our food. the vegetables were soaked in water and had been out too long! the cabbage had gone crispy and the peas were white and discoloured. So certainly didn't seem fresh. The meat and roast potatoes were the only thing on the carvery which actually seemed fresh. The Yorkshires were clearly frozen as were like rubber and mash potato was gloopy and struggled to get it off the spoon with no taste whatsoever. when we had finished and went to pay, the front of house didn't seem to be bothered and was unhelpful and unpolite. A very disappointing visit and would definitely not recommend it.

we had family lunch for 8 people on 5 th jan food was really good meat really tender, loads of lovely veg, good selection of desserts good english pub food, service a bit slow, young lady brought 1 cup of coffe through at a time ?? 2 of our party wanted a nice cuppa to finish their meal but they had NO MILK , we could not believe they had no milk,my black tea arrived with tea bag left in cup, I don't mind a bag in the cup at home but in a proffessional establishment its not good service, we probably will return as the food was good

another lovely meal yesterday. meat tender & delicious as always. staff very helpful and pleasant. all round an enjoyable visit.

I had not been here for a while and was looking for a place that would do a sunday lunch at 5pm as I had been at work all day and wanted to take out family members.The welcome was a let down , no atmosphere , lunch average / ok for time of day, felt staff had no energy left and were waiting for 7pm when service finished, 1 waitress said hello when entering that was it. tired décor in side, outside has been painted but interior seems to have been forgotten, needs bringing into 21 century new tables and chairs , brighter walls etc.

The restaurant is ok, pretty much what you would expect from this type of pub. We decided it would be much nicer to have our lunch "takeaway" in the comfort of our own home.At only £6.50 it represents excellent value. The pork and beef are always beautifully cooked, lovely crackling. The mash is always creamy and the cauliflower cheese is very flavoursome . The only disappointment and something that would make sunday lunch excellent, would be, home made roasties and yorkshires, or , at least roast the potatoes, instead of deep frying them.

I always look forwards to my Sunday dinner I've had one here almost every Sunday for the past 2years all I can say is omg yum yum yum and there is so many deserts to choose from normally I can't choose so i ask to be ssurprised between two of my top choices and the outcome is always a good choice. I say I can not fault the place tbh, The staff are friendly always get a cheerful Hellllllooooo and a goodbye see you again. Great value for money.

We stooped off here on our way to a christening at Walpole St Peters and were pleasantly surprised. The pub is very well kept and the staff are friendly and welcoming. We would visit again if we are in the area.

Sunday lunch for a group is always a gamble and an organiser always worries in case things go wrong. However we need not have worried - mine host was extremely helpful and the service was excellent . The food was a carvery meal which was well cooked and presented (not dried up under the lights as some carveries are). The starters were tasty as were the desserts - both with ample choice. Would highly recommend this pub restaurant.

We went for sunday lunch at the carvery and had the best melt in the mouth beef we have ever had. Loved the cauliflower chesse aswell. A very friendly atmosphere and excellent service even though very busy day. Staff very friendly and well worth a visit. Will always go here in the future.

my visit on 16 june was 1st class as usual. Have eaten here many times.The greeting is warm & friendly. The carvery is great, wide choice of fresh veg (take as much as you wish) the meat is melt in the mouth (no chewing here) There is a good selection of deserts. The owners will always make every effort to ensure your experience is a good one.

12 of us had a carvery lunch on Sunday 9th June 2013. There was a long table for us and we sat down to prawn cocktail which was freshly made. Then we went to the carvery and there was a big joint of pork and one of beef. I had the beef which was melt in your mouth. There were plenty of fresh vegetables ranging from cabbage, a lovely cauliflower in cheese sauce, peas carrots, roast potatoes and mash potatoes plus horseradish sauce and apple sauce and gravy of course. The dessert menu was extensive - I had lemon lush as all the lemon meringue had gone! My friend had profiteroles which was huge!All in all 12 very satisfied customers.

Since my last visit, this time was a vast improvement. The food was plentiful, hot and well cooked.The staff were attentive and other diners were also complimentary of the food and service.

The pub could do with a massive clean, the carpet and decor were extremely tired. There are even the remnants of Xmas decorations up. The man behind the bar couldn't be bothered and gave the impression that he needed a shave and shower, the waitress had dirty clothes on. To be fair it was a weekday lunch, so why make an effort. Won't be going back

My family of 3 decided to eat there today we was left very disappointed. Very unhelpful staff when we first arrived. No hello or even a smile! 10 minute wait for a drink at the bar. No hello or sorry to keep you waiting.A extremely dull atmosphere in the restaurant. And very cold. The carvary. Well eat here if you love a aunt Bessie dinner. Aunt Bessie Yorkshires and roast potatoes. Smash mash potatoes and the veg did not look appetising at all. The meat options was beef or pork, but the beef was tough that IF a member of staff came over to ask 'if everything was ok' or even had been In the room I would had asked for a steak knife! I left it. I can't comment on the desserts as we wasn't offered any! Very poor show!

Hot plates and well cooked food. Lovely eating area and friendly staff made the lunch for our group very enjoyable. We like it so much that we are booking again for our December get together lunch this year. Parking is very easy too.
