Kingsway Bar & Grill Limited in Ashfield

I call in at least once a week with a friend for a coffee, the manager is always on hand, she’s a lovely lady and will do anything to help,the coffee is really nice, I’ve not sampled the food yet but I’ve seen what’s served up and I feel it won’t be long before I’m tucking in with family or friends, there’s an outside seating area and it’s spotless, I would recommend the kings way for any occasions

We went for the Christmas fayre menu very well priced the food was lovely got and tasty not the biggest portion size . But for the price we were all happy the food was good. Kerry looked after us out table was set up nice waiting thankyou .

Meet up with approx 40 family members , to celebrate someone who passed away , altogether we probably spent kingsway total takings in one week within a few hours of being there , then a very scruffy rude bar staff yes very scruffy, shouted be quite , fir god sake it's a pub .no fryers working when they had a warning from us that we was coming a few weeks earlier your loss kingsway we carried on and moved to spend another small fortune in good old weatherspoons .lesson learnt never spend another penny in kingsway public house .ps bar staff need to scrub up on dress code and cleanliness happy crimbo

Went for my mum’s funeral wake couldn’t have food fryers were down was buying drinks from twelve o clock and was shouted at because we were talking told to be quiet couldn’t celebrate my mums life very bad customer service

Great place, great food, good value . Our group sampled a range of dishes, all good Very friendly. Would go again.

Fantastic food excellent service warm and friendly atmosphere all staff so helpful and friendly really made our Christmas Day

12__15 pm on the 1st. December . They had not even warmed up after opening .made us welcome. Good choice on menu . presentation quality of food spot on.we will be back xx.

We booked the kingway for our parents 60th wedding anniversary. What a let down!!! We were asked to pre-order our food to avoid disappointment on the night. We did this via kingsway facebook 1 week prior to our visit. They missed 2 of the meals out altogether when we arrived, and we had to tell them again what it was we ordered. One came out half way through everyone eating there's and the other didn't even arrive until everyone had finished. At first we was told that we didn't order the 2 meals that was missing, but after looking at our order request on kingsway facebook page, it was there in black and white. 3 of us had chicken which I can only assume they had started to cook it on the day our pre-order went in. (It was so dry and stringy, you could floss your teeth with it). As a way of an apology as they messed up, we were told that the 2 desserts we pre-orderd was free. You know things are bad when they didn't even ask us if everything was alright with our meals when clearing our plates away. They knew it was a bad night, and they knew they made a hash of it all, and steered clear of us. It was a night to remember, but for all the wrong reasons.

Lovely food Not great value for money Got order wrong twice Long wait Very bad customer service from a young girl server her words I quote “ where these going “ whilst standing there with food in her hands, also very clear she hates her job Very unlikely we will go back for food

We visited the Kingsway last weekend with the hope of some great food and beers to boot, after deliberating the plentiful options on the menu we chose the flaming hot burger and spicy cheese topped hotdog.. Both these options came with fries.. Upon arrival the reality hit! A plate with a hot dog and a sprinkle of maybe a dozen fries looked lost at sea on the plate. A leaf of lettuce may have helped but this was not to be seen, the burger however came with a side salad... Unfortunately this arrived lacking sauces of any description. So when the waitresses asked how our meals where obviously we didn't nod with excitement and instead brought her attention to the issues, this was met with a giggle and it was passed off as this is what you get in the kingsway... So left hungry and thinking this was a single misdameanour we ordered more food.. A sharer plate.. At this point it wasn't worth offering feedback as it was a waste of our time, needless to say the sharer plate didn't change our opinion and as such we left, still hungry and wishing we'd gone elsewhere.. We're not massive eaters and this gives you an idea of portion sizes which are saver menu as opposed to hungry horse at beefeater prices. Sorry it is what it is

Popped in for a quick lunch today. Got to say I was really glad I did. Fantastic place, really nicely decorated since they have refurbed. The staff were great and the food was lovely. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

4 of us went for a meal last night. Food was great and also the service. Nothing was too much trouble. Tables well spaced out and good distancing in place.

Welcoming & spotlessly clean...lovely pub food & friendly staff! Will be back again very soon...other reviewers must have caught them on a bad day as I found no problem with food, staff or Covid safety!

we have visited in the past but this time the food was a much improved standard lovely fresh sunday lunch with real huge yorkshire puddings! Very Attentive staff great management very clean!! A overall great experience and we will be back again soon

Went in Wednesday dinnertime the food was very good and two meals and drinks for £13.00 you can't beat it. The staff and management were very professional and very pleasant, will go again even when it is full price.

Popped in on my way back home to Weymouth, they were very busy but still managed to find us a nice table for two. This place observed all covid guidelines and the manager and his partner made every effort to ensure our visit was safe and comfortable. Friendly service, excellent food in a nice atmosphere. I would definitely use this establishment again if I'm ever passing.

Went to eat yesterday with my family, oh boy. All I can say is bring Henry and Leah back, covid safe I THINK NOT! New manager Jay I believe lazy and rude! Food absolutely disgusting when will the brewery manage to keep decent managers! They do not use enough staff to keep safe and secure from covid as they suggest, no way are they ensuring gov guidelines are being followed as 1 household per table or bubble! Do us a favour and get rid of these managers quick!

Went here for a meal and have to say it was the worst meal I have ever had out. Topped off with a long wait for everything bar service slow and always 6 deep . only one grumpy guy on the bar all I can say is he’s in the wrong job even snapped at other staff who tried to do a good job. Sent food back and they didn’t bother offered a free dessert but to be honest with what I noted coming* out the kitchen I didn’t fancy it. All in all rubbish much better places to spend your money in will not go back. Always changing hands don’t think it will be long before someone else’s takes over

The food leaves a lot to be desired. A lot of frozen food used. Presentation poor. Will not be going back.

Smash potato cold and dry veg fried roast potatoes cheep frozen Yorkshire puddings a thimble full of gravy and to make it worse they have the cheek to charge £10.95

We came in around 1pm First time since refurb and food was amazing complements to the chef food looked and tasted amazing deffo be back again

Food was cold we were first in at lunchtime ordered food.my daughter had eaten hers by the time ours came.we sent ours back it was cold burger was burnt.staff were good.never go again.did email complaint they didn't bother to reply !!!

I have been in this place on and off and have never seen it do so well for longer periods of time.The new Managers appear to have great knowledge and great work ethics, there new staff appear to be very knowledgeable considering they are still fairly new.I was served by Georgia (or so my receipt says) she was friendly and welcoming.I wait a little while 10 maybe 15 minutes for my food, all day breakfast and a rump steak, all cooked well. Drinks where cold and just how you would expect, met the managers while they where walking back in seemed very nice and where quick to take the kids upstairs after stroking our dog and the female manager (sorry name has slipped my mind) was straight back down and to work.dedication and hard work will pay off, all you guys keep at it and don't let negatives put you down.

Me and my wife thought we would try the new kingsway...oh dear food was cold steak was chewy and veg was dry. The thing that made it most un enjoyable for us was the children running around shouting which i was told by another customer were the owners children. A nice place but with the poor quality food and out of control children we won't be returning

Big thankyou to Henry Leah and your staff for a lovely meal for our celebration of my 50th my hubby's birthday and our 10th wedding anniversary. The food was lovely and staff attentive. There's some mixed reviews on here but we found it all brilliant .

We decided to give it a try as we used this pub alot before it was referbished.Great job with all that's new in the pub but we were sumwhat disappointed with the foodI had lamb shank which I felt lacked quality for the price we payed the veg was just peas and carrots and quite dryNot much meat on the lamb shank so very pricey for what we had. It's a shame because very nice staff and seviceWe feel if we go back it will just be for a drink and not food

Hot quality meal served quickly, disappointed it’s now bar service not table service. More concerning was dogs (not assistant) allowed in to the restaurant.

Thought I would try this local restaurant after its recent refurbishment. Have to say it didn’t disappoint. Varied menu at decent prices backed up with friendly service What is not to like

3 families meeting for annual get together, lovely ambience. Nice and clean. Friendly staff. However we were very disappointed with food. Sunday roast was not worth the price paid. Very simple veg was dry, looked like it had been sat on the side for far too long. Prawn cocktail starter was served with brown lettuce. Also must have been on the side for a while. Wouldn’t normally complain but feel a new pub needs this critique to go forward and survive in this competitive industry.

Food quality poor for amourt of price paid service was OK but wanted to clear away when not every one had finished food generally over priced for food pub was excellent and nice atmosphere

We came in with high hopes and left hungry and dissappointed. Food was barely warm, not great portion size and tasted like microwave food. No onion rings on the hunters chicken which when i look back through reviews was also the case 2 weeks ago?!?!?! Does it ever come with onion rings? Adults burger and chips was small. 1 kids meal came with wrong side and other kid didnt get their starter till after her main, once i realised and questioned it. Such a shame as the place looks nice and beer was very cold. We had hoped for a new local place to eat but no chance!!

Popped in for a quick pint. Was confronted by a loud and aggressive lady who was looking for ‘management’. The landlord arrived and pleasantly offered to assist with her enquiry. As I removed my coat due to the warm winter ambience in the pub, it became clear she had asked for the radiator to be turned up which she believed it hadn’t been. Despite calling all of the staff liars and boasting about how many successful businesses she had run, the landlord remained calm and promised to investigate and sort the issue immediately. The staff remained calm, pleasant and professional despite being branded liars and told ‘I know who you people are.’ Well done all, keep up the good work and stay warm this Christmas!

A fabulous vibey place, newly refurbished and homley, the staff are great and the food superb, you've got to try the fish and chips,

My beef bourguignon meal was only warm and the french beans were very rubbery

Great evening The Kingsway Food cooked to perfection extremely tasty and good prices Staff very friendly and helpful even though it was busy Nice atmosphere too

A couple of weeks before my mum‘s 70th birthday I went in to ask if they did lamb on their carvery and they said that they would get somein for the occasion for us which they did. The lunch itself had the most beautiful array of fresh vegetables I’ve ever seen on a carvery, the lamb was delicious and the service was exceptional.

I imagine this place was once really swanky, about ten years ago...and not a thing done since.

We visited this pub for Mother's Day lunch and it was carvery only. There was a choice of 3 meats and a great selection of potatoes and veg to choose from. The staff were very friendly and attentive and kept checking in with us.

Called here for a meal one evening because it did not look busy .After being inside for 5 mins could see why; young lads stood at bar swearing out loud staff never said anything asked about food and was told could be a hour or so chef having problems needless to say we called at chippy on way home !(but have now been told got new manager o make your own decision)

fantastic carveries now being served sundays and tuesdays at the kingsway, all meat from barlows and all veg is fresh not frozen (other than the peas) lots of new choice now available which includes mustard mash as well as normal mash and minted gravy as well as usual

Great service but food was average at best a big change to what it used to be. We will still try it again as it was one of our favourite places to eat out.

Tried this place again after feeling let down after our first visit , well all I can say is that its going downhill , horrible place smells of stale beer , its even worse now than when it used to be the Kingsway Pub , when the landlord "Terry Buxton" used to collect up all the slops and put them back into the barrels , even joked one night that he has had to put a few bottles of brown into the bitter has it had started to lose its colour because of so much lager being left in glasses.

Always a friendly greeting from Chris - definitely makes the visit more entertaining when he is in, great selection of drinks all reasonably priced, food is great, highly recommended

Called in on the off chance of getting some food, only Carvery which is ok if you like that sort of thing but no other choice food. Asked for a glass of Malbec was told we don't have that I asked for Rioca sorry we don't have that we only have Merlot. Only one choice of red wine is not good people like a choice.

Last time we came here it was previous management and was very poor. We heard there were new managers and the word of mouth getting better so we decided to give it another go. Unfortunately nothing changed. The food quality was poor, frozen and dry roast potato, raw cauliflower and cheap meat. Won’t be eating there again

Owners were great very pleasant and very welcoming x will defo be back even bought chips out at half time

I need to start by saying that the food was lovely, steaks and chicken cooked perfectly, chips scrummy - compliments to the chef.

Dont know where to start food was disgusting the place smelt dirty carpet looked like it hadnt bin hoovered in months where have all the lovely staff gone was greated by a kid serving behind the bar n if she smiled she would crack her face very rude in the way she spoke to my family you really need to sort this place out because if you dont its gonna go down hill so fast

We live locally, and I reviewed the pub under its first owners, I have to say that the new manager is really working hard to to pull it back up to where it was.

I really enjoyed my meal at the kingsway.. The staff was very polite and couldn’t help us enough food was outstanding will most certain be back!!! Thumbs up from me

Great food as always cant fault carvery staff always welcoming weds and sunday carvery great fresh food home made desserts well worth a visit

I've lost count of how many owners this has had in 3yrs but yet to see any real improvement.

Went in here with my family on Christmas Day to have a few drinks before going home for lunch,only ended up staying for one drink.Absolute rip off,cost just over £16.00 for 3 pints of lager and 4 glasses of cola.Also the cola was from litre bottles and not from the pump.A gentleman sat chatting to us and was charged over £4.00 for a pint of alcohol free lager.I don't live far from this pub and have seen different owners come and go,I cannot see these staying long if they charge these sort of prices.Wont be going back anytime soon.

The meal was lovely 😊 soup and prawn cocktail for starters turkey dinner with the trimmings and Xmas pud could not fault it ! Some organisational difficulties which the lovely staff sorted straight away ! Thank you for a lovely meal xx

Kingsway used to be our favourite pub. It’s had many new owners, so we thought we would give the latest owners a go. We all had carvery (which was our favourite meal when fernando owned the pub) it wasn’t great. It wasn’t awful but definitely not the best. Only had beef, gammon and turkey on for the meats, so not a great selection. We and two other groups all asked for pork to be told there wasn’t any. We had a quick look at the main menu and it was very limited.

Went in for carvery very nice , also had a meal another day . Yes sweet potatoe fries they were lovely keep up the good work guys .

8 of us went for lunch today and the food was all freshly cooked and tasted amazing. Large portions as well and the staff couldn’t do enough for us very accommodating. So impressed we are going next week and booked our Christmas fair meal.

Amazing thats what we think new owners new head chef so happy every single beer on and cask ales i know they have had some hard times under the old owners but give them a chance all the staff look smart in the uniforms and the food is sooooo much better well done

The second time in a few weeks and still only one choice of lager what is happening here ? Has the bill not been paid ? The place is looking very run down the chef is sorting the carvery and bringing out food and serving drinks which surely contravenes hygiene standards . I felt sorry for the barmaid she hadn't got a clue why there was no lager . Come on Kingsway get your act together it's awful knowing what this place used to be and what it is now .

Never been disappointed in this place until now.... Son had chicken wings for starter..it looked really well presented but when he started to eat them the meat was pink the bones were red ..., on moving the lettuce it was just blood... which isn't good for chicken... They only had one portion of soup left and it came with a handful of frozen peas chucked in..... no sirloin no ribeye so went for the rump.... it was just like a minute steak..... The choice of lager was fosters they had run out of the others...The waitress was lovely ... very apologetic and I felt for her... we got the chicken wings knocked off the bill but it should have been cooked... Could half understand if they were busy we were a table for 7.... but only 4 other diners in... and a few that were having a drink until their bus came.... Come on Kingsway eaten many times before nothing like this always been good....

After a day in the garden we were just too tired to start cooking. And with the Kingsway being local there was no need. Had coffees first whilst we decided what to have from the menu - our choice was to be the carvery. Simple choice tonight of Gammon joint or Cottage pie - pick your own veg etc. The wife had the pie, said it was really lovely, and I had the gammon, 3 large slices. All cooked really well and frankly at a very reasonable price. The wife said she was full but I just had to try a pudding - the fruits of the forest crumble - delicious. All this and change out of a twenty notePrice change now due - Carveries on Mon.- Wed.-Friday @ £5. I believe Sundays still £9. Rest of the menus stay the same I'm toldThank you for a nice meal

We came in for a family meal and wasnt dissapointed the staff are so friendly and go above and beyond for you the meals were fantastic and the chef on at the time jamie was brilliant keep up the good work

Food is always lovely in here!.. steaks are gorgeous! But my daughter had jelly and it was all hard round the edges like it had been in the fridge for months! Was awful!.. my daughter couldn't eat it obviously but the rest of the food was lovely. The staff are lovely! The little Italian man is brilliant!.. always polite and friendly and bubbly! Prices aren't too bad either.

On walking in the door we were welcomed with smiles and cordial greetings. We opted for the vegetarian carvery this time and were very pleased with the standard and range of vegetables on offer. We particularly enjoyed the Yorkshire pudding and the stuffing balls were exceptional. The chef was on hand when we left and was pleased that we had enjoyed our meal. We will certainly be returning there even though it is nearly 8 miles away.

We had the curry of the day, 2 for £10, my husband took one bite of the chicken and spit it out, all bits of bone in it. The rest was covered in skin and slimy fat. Sauce no taste. Rice dry and hard. Pita bread cold and glory hugs stale. We both stood up went to bar to pay for our drinks (the manager said it wasn't necessary after seeing the food that had been bought out)! We used to visit this place often a couple of years ago and the difference in cleanliness, food, and overall atmosphere is worlds apart, it's gone severely down hill. The food was diabolical. Wouldn't have fed that chicken to my Labrador. Sorry won't be back.

Love this place gets better every time we go friendly staff beautiful food i think 3.95 is a bit cheap for a carvery but who am i to tell them how to run it all i know is we love it

We go to kingsway as we are locals , we have seen this pub decline over the last couple of years ! The owner needs to put some money back into It it's looking tired all the pretty flowers gone from outside , paintwork looking tatty tables and chairs outside need tlc , heater outside for smokers not working , the staff are trying hard and are always friendly but it's not enough the food isn't great for the money . So the owner who ever you may be you need to spend money to make money , you've got a little gold mine there if managed the right way !!!! Its a shame it's going down hill it's a nice pub , new manager seems to be trying but need more support from the owners

We have eaten here regularly and it's always been nice . It's been taken over again and although the lady behind the bar was very nice and accommodating its obvious to see that the place is struggling . The lady served the bar , took the orders and served the food ! Also saying to customers we have run out of stuff and a long wait for meals when there were not many eating , does she cook the food as well ? The chicken salad grossly overpriced 8.95 for 5 small pieces of chicken on abed of lettuce and peppers , looked like one very small chicken breast had been cut up , no tomatoes or cucumber . The lady took on board my comments .Hubbys mixed grill was ok . It's a shame this is our local and a lovely pub please get your act together , get more staff , put the professionalism back or I can see this pub closing .

Brought my family in for a meal carvery was beautiful meats were so tender and moist carnt fault it at all we had a bit of a wait for puddinf but there was a medical emergency so it was understandable the staff are so friendly and helpful

First of all the service was okay. The young girl behind the bar was pleasant and friendly. The food was okay in the main part. However, does the extra cost Warrant a visit? We have a spoons just down the road - so is it a justifiable expense? Not sure.The mixed grill was a slight disappointment. The rump was so tough I couldn't eat all of it. Mastication aside, I was unable to chew through this piece of meat. Maybe if I was Jaws out of James Bond I would have had more luck.The children's menu was good value and the kids scoffed the lot. Reminded me of the gannet society just before feeding time. So their food, according to my children, was nice.My wife's gammon was good - but the eggs over cooked. They resembled something out of frisbee anonymous.Tongue in cheek aside - food okay. Service good - justifiable for the extra? Depends if you want to park in Kirkby for spoons or prefer a secure car park.

Quite simply if your looking for a good homemade carvery at a great price you can't go wrong here!It's that good the wife and I go practically every Sunday.Three roasts plenty of veg and great homemade Yorkshires and rich meaty gravy!Can get busy so I'd recommend ringing in advance!Give it a go you won't be disappointed!!!!

What a great carvery and value for money. £5 on a Wednesday night so we have now stopped going on a Sunday!

Food was out of this world and the service we got from the new manager debbie was so personal she was super friendly and helpful keep up the good work we will ne back

Called in several times. Have happened upon carveries in passing and sampled the menu once leaving happy with other family members muttering how nice it was. The food looked very satisfying on each visit. The spread for a wake on my latest visit looked perfect. The management v.friendly and not too friendly. As pubs go one of my all time favourites.

A new dining venue for most all of our guests. All having their pick from the mains and desserts menus. Every meal served was perfect - - everyone praising the meals and service. Then all back to our place - our guests singing their praises of the meal they had just had. Thank you txo the staff for making our party a success - the food was out of this world and the bill was down to earth affordable. We have become your newest regulars.

We have had 3 meals here now and all of them was delicious. Great portion sizes and great value for money. All food is freshly cooked and is of a really high quality. Will definitely be returning.

Lovely decor nice table. Baguette very nice however I did think £8 95 for a baguette a little steep. Better value to have a meal but didn't want that .

As promised we are back for a second visit to this restaurant/grill. This time we are going to try a couple of dishes from their two for a £10 menu. I picked steak pie and veg whilst the wife picked her standard, fish chips and peas. She did once used to run a large fish and chip shop. My pie was delicious ( could eat that again ) and the mash and veg' was cooked to perfection, do recommend this. The wife said her meal was really good. beautiful white fish in a dry crispy batter and the chips were first class. Our thanks to the chef- you have gained two more regulars.

I've visited the kingsway a few times on the way home. Every time I go I get a different experience. It has been renovated and looks a lot better. The food is well pup grub and is not great. You get what you pay for I'm afraid there's a good sized menu and something for everyone. I've tried a couple of different meals and it's fair to say it's ok. I can't rave about this place nor can I sit and say it's rubbish. It's neither it's very neutral and is a 5 out of 10 restaurant. The staff don't seem to be attentive and they look like they wanted to be somewhere else. The food is ok, it's basic and is very much like microwave style food. It's clean and warm inside I can't fault the layout. So that's the kingsway pub in Sutton in Ashfield. I honestly don't think you'd be disappointed for value.

Wednesday 2nd of February. Checking out places for a Special party in April. Called in to the Kingsway for a coffee and to get a copy of the menu offered. Good service,Returned that evening to try the " Wednesday Carvery " . It was first class and at an extremely low price of under £5.00. The quality and cleanliness and service on offer we booked here for our forthcoming party. One of those places, local, that we always meant to visit, from now can see us as regulars. Thank you.

Went out with a couple of friends for a birthday meal, table was booked in advance. Pleasantly greeted and shown to our table, after that the service went downhill.We waited 15mins with no service because the lady who should have been doing it had friends also dining on the next table it would seem.I asked if we could have some menu's to be pointed where they were!I asked how we order drink to be told go to the bar! I checked this again to be told 'well, I could come to the table'.I sat down and we decided on food, the lady didn't come over because again her friends on the next table were getting ready to leave.Thankfully a lovely young lady came over and took our order of food and drinks at the same time. The food arrived and sadly were got the unhelpful lady again 'who ordered what?' we were asked. And then the plate was gestured for us to take them from her quite rudely. One friend is disabled and there was help provided at all so we had to intervene.Thankfully the food was nice and we all thoroughly enjoyed the meal. A real shame the service we got was very poor. If it was busy we could have maybe understood but it was the fact the lady's friends were in distracted her from the job.5* = food0* = service from the individual (everyone else was lovely)

We went for a few drinks and a carvery for our anniversary and birthday , made welcome although it was extremely busy . which was nice to see as the Kingsway is a lovely pub and we are very happy to have it as a local . The staff were run off their feet and handled it very well , they had ran out of meat for the carvery as they had a very busy day . But to make sure we were fed they gave us a 11oz steak and told to help ourselves to the carvery , lovely food cheeky chief but in a nice way he is a asset to the Kingsway

Fantastic, we've been before and were impressed, this time we were blown away!Foolishly we didn't book and arrived it was pretty busy but the waitress was able to squeeze us in.We ordered a starter of Prawn Cocktail and Wings. The Prawn Cocktail was delicious and the wings you were actually able to eat with a knife and fork. We then ordered a couple of steaks rare, they were cooked to perfection. We both had peppercorn sauce now my partner wasn't to keen and maybe a Diane sauce would be nice for some but personally I think the peppercorn sauce was amazing and had a real kick to it!The waitress was awesome and managed to locate some crayons ond paper for my daughter (who at the age of 2 can be a nightmare whilst out).A genuine 10 out of 10 for food and service thankyou.

We are reasonably local to this pub/restaurant and have visited here a few times. Its generally very very good (fine dining.?) but on this occasion its was not at its best. Im not going to criticise it but it just seems to have lost its edge. The food was, well; just OK. The staff who were on, were doing their best but they appeared to be run ragged. Im going to sit on the fence with this review. It wasn't the best experience I've had here. Lets just hope its a Blip...

Our family Christmas dinner at the kingsway was excellent!!! The food was superb and well organised,the staff were lovely and looked after us very good.They made Christmas Day very special a big thankyou to you all!! From the Laverty family.

Only offered carvery customer service poor table next to us could order but I was told only limited stock in so won't be coming back as food very poor

Welcomed by Tom and waited on from then on. Good choice of menu which you can combine with Carvery vegetables or off the menu. Good all round meals and fair prices on both drinks and food,This was a nice surprise and will return.

On our way back from York called on the off chance later in the afternoon on a Sunday . Promptly seated and the carvery was great , meat tender and veg lovely. It was very busy , hope it continues lovely place to have on your doorstep !!

We all really enjoyed the carvery today. all cooked to perfection.staff very friendly.we will definitely return

Average microwaved pub grub, nothing exciting.Close to home but would only return if wanted to eat out locally and was unable to get a table elsewhere.

happy with speed of delivery of food. food was of a good quality and arrived hot. staff were pleasant and engaging. premises were clean and inviting. would recommend a visit.

We went here for a nice meal as a couple with a few drinks. We rang at 4.30 to book a table for 2 and we were told that was fine. On arrival there was a large funeral wake taking over the pub. As you would expect people were loud etc which you expect. But we would have liked to have been told about this when booking as we may have gone elsewhere and tried here another night. We ordered a bottle of red, steak and a mixed grill. The food arrived promptly and looked lovely. But..... the steak was so tough and not great tasting. The mixed grill had lovely gammon and lamb.... but the steak and pork were dry and chewy also. The fried eggs had been cooked far too long and were hard. The sausage was a poor quality almost like a chip shop sausage. All in all we were very disappointed in the food as friends and family have said it is great. We never complain about food (we just don't go again) but we felt obliged to on this occasion. In fact I think it was obvious with how much we left (and I never leave meat). We were given a goodwill discount and the manager was very apologetic. We may try here again but give it time to get organised.

I've driven past this place many times and always promised myself I would call in one day . The outside looks great if you can ignore the fag ends at the entrance . We approached the bar and waited and waited to be served. Just one lad serving and one girl putting away glasses . Eventually another lady appeared , huffing and puffing from the end of the bar to ask ' who's next ' we missed our turn and had to wait again . After sitting down for a while we decided to order a nibble to eat . Again another long wait at the bar and our order was placed. We waited 32 minutes for the food to arrive . I checked this against my receipt. The cone of 15 beer battered onion rings were missing the advertised BBQ sauce and were barely cooked . Swimming in grease , pale and soggy . We asked our waitress to sort them out and she returned promptly with now well done onion rings which still managed to be soggy !! I must add that the onion rings on the Classic combo were nice and crispy so I've no idea how they managed to cook 2 lots so differently . We didn't receive a check back so could complain again so left feeling robbed . We won't be back . Slow , uncaring service . Poor quality food and no atmosphere in the building . I'll spend my money somewhere else in future .

This place has certainly gone hill, poor service even with the place almost empty, the chef managed to burn the burger I had and the chips were clearly re-heated. Not planning another visit for a while and certainly not before some sense of organising come back

Had lunch steak baguette with Stilton and salad sounded perfect steak was cooked to my taste but had chunks of Stilton not melted had to remove and the salad if you could call it was a bit of lettuce from the day before we thought needs more thought On presentation but the pub is really lovely

Having just had the Sunday carvery at the Kingsway Bar and Grill I have to say it was rather disappointing. The meal itself was rather dry with meat portions being considerably less than they had been on our previous visit. Staff were not particularly pleasant obviously going through the motions. Come back Fernando - all is forgiven.

It's been a month since we last visited the Kingsway and decided to make an impromptu visit on bank holiday Monday as it was such a lovely afternoon (4 adults and 2 children).First the positives....they have changed the wine menu YAY!!! A decent New Zealand Sauvignon on the menu and the Prosecco (which is what we had) was pretty nice. The staff from before (Tom is it??) gave fantastic service as normal - knew we were local and regulars, had a chat with us. Was a nice start to the meal.Then unfortunately the food side. The couple we were with ordered their food first whilst our kids were deciding what to have. They let us know that they had sold out completely of chicken and were having steak and a burger instead. By the time we ordered I'd decided to have the pie instead of chicken, got to the bar to order and was told they did now have chicken after getting from the other pub. I decided to have the pie anyway..however they'd sold out of that...so I had chicken (still with me?). They did say our food would have a 30 min wait (but unfortunately hadn't warned the couple we were with of this).Around an hour later the food arrived...it was pretty poor to be honest. The medium steak was 100% well well done, my chicken was annihilated and so dry and over cooked it perhaps had been cooking for the full hour and the scampi was average. The chips are the soft oily kind which I know people debate in the reviews. Personally I like them like that - it reminds me of fish and chip shop chips from the coast. Anyway apart from tje chips was pretty disappointing. In credit to the team serving Tom (if the names wrong...sorry) was apologetic about the wait and did compensate us for that. But having to continually compensate because the food isn't up to standard and the kitchen can't handle a few customers is not good business. In fact it's a sure fire way to go out of business. Your chef needs to get good very quickly....or unfortunately....So..in summary the good news is the service is still good from the original team, the drinks menu has dramatically improved so we are more likely to try again but the food is not good I'm afraid. You have got to improve it or you will lose the customers - this isn't gourmet Michelin dining, it's quality home cooked food. I hate to say it but it really isn't that hard. We will at some point try again but will wait a few weeks to see if it sorts itself out. Please do...we want to support our local pub.

Not been for a while so didn't know management had changed. Greeted well on arrival but that's because it was empty. It was just before 5pm on a nice sunny Thursday tea time. They gave us menus straight away, then we realised the tea time deals stop at 5pm!! What a shame they don't take note of Larch Farm (who also do home made food to a good standard) but always do 2 meals for £12 everyday. We had burgers. Halloumi & Cajun chicken. They were OK. Halloumi needed more chutney & the Cajun chicken had no Cajun but they were freshly cooked & enjoyed. The chips were weird. Three times cooked it good but when? Quite a weird oily taste hard to describe. Another Reviewer said similar. Service good, but again there were 2 of us & then 4 more arrived. We left at 7.45 & it didn't get any busier. £8.95 each main course is too higher a price at tea time with all the chains doing cheap deals at two for £8.49 so you've got to do something Kingsway to catch this tea time trade please, you're missing a trick!

Some not so distant family gave us a visit and we decided to go to the Kingsway for Sunday DinnerWe arrived a little late about 2pm a warm welcome was given to our party we ordered the food and drinks and received polite and helpful service When the food arrived we all commented how good the food was and my relatives from out of the area have vowed to return as soon as possible and sample some more food of their menu

Eaten at the Kingsway many times it has always been good so I thought it was time to write a review. It was a lunch time visit at 14:00 on Saturday 6th August. The service was exceptional and the place was very busy with a nice atmosphere. The music playing was Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground how cool is that. The food was outstanding, generous portions at a reasonable price. Definitely recommend
