King of the Belgians in Huntingdonshire

Good service ,polite friendly excellent choice of food well cooked and presented. Not the cheapest place around but you certainly get what rou pay for. Like the fact that many of the dishes come with three types of fresh vegetables and there's is plenty of i. The mash is excellent especially with the added spring onion ( you get a choice with the mash. Had the home made shepherds pie today excellent . Will return again soon.

Fab food, great atmosphere, fully covid compliant.

Wonderful owners and food was delicious

Fantastic host very accomadting nothing to much trouble food was superb highly recommend Thank you Sheila and lucy visited 4th September 2024 for lunch

Love this place for Sat and Sun homemade Pot pie and pizza.

Good dinner and good beer. Not much more to add.

Absolutely amazing my wife had steak and ale pie meal I hade rump steak and it was amazing can't fault the service matt and Jane where very welcoming and the overall experience was second to none thankyou kob

Agonised about writing this review. Place is so good you don’t want it ruined by too many people. Decided that was selfish so here goes. Everything was quality. Lovely ambience in this local frequented-by locals. As visitors to the area were made very welcome. Cellar manager is very knowledgeable about beers from Near and far. CAMARA awards for both beer and cider say it all. It’s worth a walk to church and river afterwards.

Super pub. Always pop in on the way home from shopping. Intersting history to the name, the beers are always really well kept and the food is very good. In fact he only fault I can find with it is that it is not in St Ives, but that's just me being selfish, if it were it would definately be my local. As it is The King of The Belgiums is a very enjoyable post shopping treat.

Excellent food. We ate in the bar, great atmosphere. An excellent lunch.

Seemed okay. Went for the beer festival. The drinks in the pub itself are limited but maybe reflective of what locals like. For me carlsberg isn’t something I can enjoy. Each to their own. Rumour has it the food is good so may visit again.

Lovely traditional pub, food great quality and good range of drink Inc local ciders and beers. Nice atmosphere and service.

With a cracking range of constantly changing real ales and a warm intimate atmosphere it’s a lovely pub to pop in to! I had the Thai prawn curry and it was excellent. Friendly staff and a landlord & landlady who couldn’t do enough to make the experience memorable. 5 stars all round !

Ate here one evening very good food large portions good service. Recommended

Had a meal.here last week pre ordered before we landed food was Bob on. Going back next month when we are visiting the area again

Last time we were here the food was significantly better. 3 of us were not impressed at all. Wont go back, My pie was reheated tasteless. the thai curry wasnt great and the fish had more batter than fish. How can a place go downhill so fast

Cosy traditional with good food and friendly staff

I went here with my wife, who said the food was good. It was good food, it's a lovely family run pub and had excellent CAMRA award winning beer. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Great pub, nice choice of drinks and a great food menu

This place does a great Sunday roast and the staff are really friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much hassle for them. The fish and chips are also brilliant as well as the sticky toffee pudding

Lovely lunch with friends. Food and service excellent

Lovely little pub! Food was amazing and service was great

Great food, great place. Will return.

Very Cosy old pub, nicely decorated and very quirky. Always friendly staff. Very nice atmosphere all the time we came here. The food was very delicious and reasonably priced. This pub allows to bring the dog inside. There is parking available on the road usually and it is free. Definitely recommend visiting. This pub is like a hidden gem.

Good gluten free fish and chips

The bar side gets extremely busy (on the right when you walk in) however, the eating part is clean and the food is very good. Very old fashioned pub with a nice atmosphere. Would recommend and I shall return 😁

Lovely friendly pub. Good homemade food. Worth a visit but if going in evening or weekend best to book.

Home cook food very good lovely pub

Love it! Great local pub. Great guest ales and ciders. Good food.

Great place for a rest after the riverside walk out to Hartford from town. Shame they didn't have any dark beers, stouts or porters, on a very cold day. Fire was warming though. 😃

Excellent meals - definitely one to return to. We had a great, tasty and well filled steak and ale pie with mash - yum.

Warm, friendly and inviting pub. Popped in late on a Saturday and although they had a large party on they still managed to accommodate us, food was hearty and good quality and fairly priced. Staff and Locals were very welcoming and chatty.

Fantastic food, drink and atmosphere. Totally enjoyable experience.

As good of a small pub as one could ask for. Ace.

Walked into a busy little bar and was immediately made to feel welcome. The food service and atmosphere were excellent. As an ex-landlady, I can sometimes be a little critical. Will definitely return.

Good food, super service, nice beer, a first visit and it won't be our last. We had simple great pub grub, a burger and a steak, the grilled halloumi starter was made just a little bit special.

Lovely little bar/restaurant with home cooked food and an intimate, friendly atmosphere. Some nice 'specials' and pleasant clientele.

What a gem this village pub is ! We booked here for Sunday lunch, 4 of us originally. An extra 2 family members decided to join us at the very last minute, the extremely helpful waitress fitted our extra guests in without any problem or fuss whatsoever! We all ordered different meals and deviated from the menu somewhat, again this was no problem and the food arrived very hot and without a hitch. A true English village pub with home cooked food and excellent customer service, what a great experience. Amazing little find and our new regular haunt ! If you feel the need to walk your lunch off …. Cross the main road and head down to the river where there’s a gorgeous little church !

Have visited this gem of a pub a few times whilst on holiday locally. The beer and food are very good and well priced. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Another big plus for us is that the bar is dog friendly, can’t wait until our next trip to the area, so we can call in again

Great choice of food and drink including vegetarian , great value and service, very friendly both staff and patrons;

This 3 hundred year old pub is a friendly atmosphere with kind and approachable staff. I sat outside in the beer garden and had a 6oz burger and chips, which was sweved within 20 minutes. Wasn't complaining as it was busy. Highly recommended going to this pub anytime. I will be going again whether it's by myself or with family and friends.

You have to see it to believe it. It has so much history and stories about it. This is local pub however people are extremely friendly both staff and patrons alike. The food is excellent and the selection of beverage is awesome. They do many small promotions that keep it interesting and welcome friendly pets. Must do when in the area and well worth a drive from anywhere within 20 miles.

The beef & ale pie with fresh vegetables was delicious and my friend had scampi with chips. We both enjoyed the atmosphere of the place and will go there again.

A classic English pub serving great food at very reasonable prices in a very friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Went for a Saturday night meal. Great food and very friendly atmosphere as usual. The meal was improved by an excellent bread and butter pudding although it was a very generous portion which did nothing for my diet!

I am a regular at this outstanding pub and restaurant and therefore totally justified in the well deserved praise that I am about to bestow on this quality hostelry. The standard of beers and food is exemplary and the staff could not be more accomodating. I have recently called in with a friend for the lunchtime special and was pleasantly surprised by one of the best pub lunches I have had. The following Sunday I booked for lunch with my wife and once again had a superb dining experience. Everyone who has anything to do with the smooth running and high standards of this pub and restaurant deserve all the success in the world. This is also recognised by the numerous awards they have won over the years.

Our American friends was in area, so we decided to try out this little pub, as it had last minute availability and good rating on Tripadvisor. It looks great from outside and inside too was very quirky. Bartender/waiter was very pleasant. Place was packed, so it’s clearly popular with locals. I chose Thai green curry and rest of the party had fish and chips. Everyone was happy enough with their fish and chips. My Thai green curry however was inedible. I am not fussiest of all eaters, but I couldn’t eat that, I made my partner to try it just to show how bad it really was. Other then the colour it did not resemble single flavour of Thai green curry, taste was nothing I can explain, but it tasted more like a soap than food. In hindsight I should of really known better than to order it, when the menu stated this ‘authentic’ Thai green curry came with naan. We traveled Thailand extensively and I know Thai green curry often isn’t the same in UK, but I never had a meal I could not eat. Rice with the meal was plain, over cooked and bland. Naan funnily enough was the only thing I ate. For any visitors in area, I’d recommend this cute little pub for a drink or two, but food was mediocre to inedible, so please avoid

Had steak, it was beautifully tender and perfectly cooked. We also ordered seafood linguine, which was also tasty and perfectly cooked. The cheesecake was delicious and I had one of the best Irish coffees ever. We complimented the chef on the day because it was just a great birthday treat and we will be going back again soon. The pub/restaurant oozed atmosphere and made you feel so relaxed and happy. Thankyou KOB

What an excellent choice we made to join up four families from equidistant, the food was lovely the staff were most efficient and polite, many thanks to business that cares.

Had a great family get-together today. Fantastic food and drinks and we were really well looked after by the staff in the pub. We will be going back again for sure.

Love King of Belguims. Home cooked food and very good portions too. A nice atmosphere. Staff always try to fulfil your requests like more gravy or things. I'm a gravy person. Always pleasant and we enjoy going there. Had Chrismas dinner with my husband and...

We pub has a loyal following of locals, everyone is friendly and there is a lovely little garden at the back too. Guaranteed a tasty meal with generous portions.

Very friendly staff excellent food will certainly visit again and recommend to family and friends. Sunday roast 10 out of 10

Stumbled on this excellent little pub and what a find! Very friendly and welcoming bunch of locals, great selection of ciders and good beers but the real star was the food - genuinely tasty homecooked and plentiful we really couldn't fault it. It's a shame...

The pub was warm, inviting and clean. The staff were welcoming and very friendly. The FOOD!!!! OMG!!!! Fresh, hot, tasty and plenty, what more could you ask for. Thank you Jane and Matt. See you on the 10th December.

Just had a lovely meal and the company was amazing 🤩 The food was so lovely and well priced and the atmosphere was a typical local pub. Definitely recommend going here for meals and drinks.

this was our first every visit, lovely find purely by chance. highly recommend. We will be back when next in the area

My wife and friends have been here and not had a bad meal. The pub area is cosy and welcoming,everywhere is clean.

We both had fish and chips, which we highly recommend. Avoid welcome and quick and excellent service. The real ale spot on, a good pint.

What a lovely day we had at this pub. The staff were very friendly and chatty and the food was absolutely delicious. We hadn't been to the area before and stumbled upon this hidden gem. We had such a lovely time sitting in the pub...

We chose this venue because it was between King’s Lynn and Milton Keynes, trip advisor reviews and family connections to Belgium. Driving up to the pub I thought that we had made a mistake (wrong). When the five of us got inside, we were so...

This is obviously a very busy and popular pub! This was our first visit from a random internet search as we were in the area. We were greeted by a lovely and friendly young lady who kept this demeanour up for our entire visit. It...

I have given my review 3 stars purely for the front of house staff. The food & communication was pretty dreadful. We booked the Christmas dinner and as requested emailed our choices through to the pub. I asked for confirmation but received none. Now, maybe...

Discovered this relaxed, friendly restaurant and pub in the village of Hartford by accident. Loved the name and attractive 16th century building. Wasn't expecting such a varied, interesting menu which also had plenty of choices for my friend who is vegetarian. We shared tempura King...

Visited again for Xmas meal,excellent food and service plenty to eat and it arrived piping hot large portions as was the dessert. Lovely atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic local pub with great service and food to boot. Nothing is to much trouble and the service and atmosphere provided by Priya and Jane is A1. Margherita pizzas and Sunday roasts are to die for.

Old, unspoilt pub in Hartford village on outskirts of Huntingdon. Main bar & separate dining room. Friendly staff. Good food & selection of real ales & ciders

We got lucky and got in and it was only Thursday. Dining room isn’t big so book to ensure you get in. I had a burger and it was really good. Tried the liver special and it too was good. Great friendly service and great...

Way above average pub food, rrcommend the halloumi for starters and filetted sea bass on really crisp Mediterranean vegetables and halloumi. Frirndly, welcoming, good all round experience.

Lovley meal and fab service . value for money if we lived nearby would go every evening for our tea the portions are excellent

we were on a weeks holiday in Cambridgeshire passed the king of kings going into Huntingdon and turned around to go back, very glad we did the food was absolutely great, and we could take our little dog in as well and she was given...

Hey Hogan! If you are reading this, have a drink for me! You’re fat and you want it! You can’t have ham three days in a row! Brrrrup brruppp! huuuuuuhhhhh!

Visited for the first time in forty years very impressed. Convivial atmosphere good mixture of drinkers and diners. Enjoyed attentive and professional service from the landlords and basically the whole experience reminded me of what a good pub should be. Would definitely return.

We’ve been a few times with the dog. Always had a nice reception, good range of beers changed regularly, nice pub-grub type food worth the price, and good people. Very relaxed and enjoyable.

Booked in advance as staying nearby. Table was in the bar so we could bring the dog. They have a nice open sided marquee outside too. Excellent real ale, kept and served as it should be. Steak cooked to perfection, really nice home cooked steak...

I visited her whilst on a business trip. The food was very good. Service was not so great. The starters and main meal were excellent, with big portions. The group would have ordered dessert, but sadly were were brought the menus, and then no one...

Normally go to another pub locally but visited for a quick beer recently and have to say how great the setup is here! Very well thought through and they have adapted so well to current restrictions etc. I will definitely be coming more regularly and have already recommended to others. Keep up the great work!

My girlfriend and I, along with her sister and brother-in-law, enjoyed a lovely meal here. A friendly staff provided table service and maintained current covid restrictions. We all agreed it's a great place to visit, either for a couple of drinks, or for a nice meal.

Visited this great pub to get a good choice of beer( camera and Locale) plus wine. Really impressed with the detail attached to the ' test and trace' app and social distancing. The brilliant staff run around to offer table service even to the marquee in the garden. Novel means of ordering from outside. I've even booked in for the October theme night of ' Mussels' could be oversubscribed.

Great beers and lovely small pub. Unfortunately there is one rule for locals and another for outsiders when it comes to COVID. One guy walked in without a mask and was obviously not known by the bar staff, rightly so he was told to get out and he politely did and then came back in wearing a mask. Another chap walked in and was told not to go to the bar as it was strictly table service. Good stuff. However, 10 minutes later, the poor man was still waiting for a beer while a couple of dangerously drunk locals (obviously known to the staff) were stumbling around without masks ordering at the bar (which was strictly against the pub rules to everyone else) bumping into people and completely disregarding the rules set by the staff to any non local. Not a word was said to them. Funnily enough, the nice non locals soon left, leaving a only few ferociously drunk local weirdos shouting at everyone which made a nice pub feel uncomfortable for those of us left.

Multiple CAMRA awards on display for their beers, but we went for the food.The homemade steak pie is gorgeous and very generally portioned - even extra gravy! To get the best from this you should go there with a large appetite..Don't expext an extensive wine list, but do enjoy the beers. Very friendly service and excellent value for money.We have alrady booked our next visit.

We randomly came across this pub and it really is a hidden gem. A rustic traditional pub with lovely food. Our food came in a timely manner, was a good portion size and you could tell it had been made with a bit of love! 100% Will be recommending :)

We have been lucky enough to eat here three times recently and every meal has been excellent. We've tried the steak (my favourite), the ribs, the stir fry prawns and the steak and ale pie - and would recommend them all.They always carry an excellent range of real ales and ciders to accompany your meal too! The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming.

Just had two recent visits at a friends recommendation, it was a least 15+ years since I last visited. Lovely old English pub, very welcoming hosts. Excellent pub food with good size portions, great homemade steak and ale pie, sausages & mash, both served with vegetables of the day. A wide choice of ales. The awards show on the wall speaks volumes. Many thanks

My wife and I decided to take advantage of the eat out to help out offer, and were keen to help a local family owned pub rather than one of the pub chains. We both had well kept beers which we know is a feature of the pub and were undecided as to whether to have a starter, but having visited before, decided to go straight to main courses which we knew were going to be filling. Beef and ale pie with mash and veg for me and barbecue spare ribs with corn, salad and chips for my wife. No complaints, excellent pie and ribs and very filling. All the food we saw come out of the kitchen looked excellent and good portions. Nice efficient service as well. Whilst we only paid £12-68 for the food (beer separately) we would be happy to full the menu prices and support in the future. Hopefully others who have taken advantage of the current offer will support pubs like this in the future once the offer ceases. We need to keep places like this going!

Visited pub again with my wife,first time since lockdown,both staff and food were excellent,still the same high standards. Well worth a visit.

Perfect evening at The king of the Belgians greeted by polite staff and told about all social distancing and protocol in place. Sat in a cosy back restaurant and had a Beautiful Thai green curry and my partner a king prawn stir fry again great, definitely on my visit again pub. Great selection of Real ales on offer as well perfect.

I love this pub, they do a lot of regular events, as well as great food, and a friendly atmosphere. I live about 4 miles away, but will go out of my way to support them and the good work they do in the community. Saw a really bad review from way back in 2013, as the headline Trip Advisor review, and felt that this was not at all representative, so wanted to do my bit for the pub - it's a great village institution.

The building is really interesting and the landlady really friendly. Unfortunately the meals were a bit hit and miss. We were recommended the steak pie so 3 of our party of 5 chose this option. The pie looked good but why would you serve a hot dinner on freezing cold plates? The result was the meals became cold very quickly which was a shame. The pie itself wasn’t bad but the steak could have done with a bit longer cooking and more gravy would have made it less dry. We had great expectations because of other people’s reviews but felt the meals didn’t live up to those expectations

Excellent venue for taking friends or family to this 1700 pub. Food and service excellent. Staff helpful and very proffessional highly recommended.

Visited the King of the Belgians recently for a catch up with colleagues. Great range of food on the menu and fantastic service. All our food was freshly cooked and served piping hot. Only downside is the limited parking.

Six of us had a Sunday meal, nice meals, Beef was very good roast potatoes were a bit hard as I think they were from lunch time, but every body else's was lovely. Staff very friendly, atmosphere was very good.

This is the best place to eat and drink in the area. Food is fresh made. The staff was great. The beer always good. Price was what you should expect for quality food. Eat there a few times on our stay and always great. Thank you for the good service.

First lunch outing in the New Year that ticked all the boxes! Convivial & cosy environment in this historic pub. Attentive, accomodating & friendly staff; food very good indeed. The Steak & Ale pie was to die for as was the Horseradish mash. Thoroughly recommended.

We had dinner for 5, my carrot and coriander soup was very good, as well as the sausages my relatives ordered. The decoration is very authentic and charming. Service was really nice. A place to come back to.

Typical mass production, starter (prawn cocktail) OK but lacked in presentation. Main (turkey) average, stuffing ball over cooked, sprouts barely cooked, more raw than al dente. Underwhelming portion although there was a reasonable amount of meat. Best part was dessert, (brandy snap basket) looked and tasted lovely.Considering all meals were preordered was surprised that some people were still waiting for food when some of us had already finished. Based on other recent reviews I think we caught an off day but I would think twice before returning.

We visited the restaurant for our works Christmas meal. The room was decorated for Christmas and was clean and looked very nice. There were 13 of us and we all got our starters, dinner, and pudding all together the food was hot and presented perfectly. I would highly recommend this place.
