The King & Lamb Restaurant in South Bucks

Have been here for the Sunday lunch and bottomless wine with friends and family on several occasions. It remains a firm favourite! Fantastic value for money, great setting and staff and the food is always of a really high standard, especially the roast beef. The house wines are excellent most notable the red but the white is also good and the staff are brilliant for providing alternatives for non-wine drinkers. I often finish with the cheese board as it is always superb!

Stayed at stole place hotel for dinner bed and breakfast. Had a little wait in reception has no staff around but made their apologies when they did turn up. Not a big deal. Had table booked for 615 in the evening and member of staff was genuinely very pleasing and a nice, polite and welcoming person. Me and my wife had amazing, starters, mains and pudding. Nothing was rushed over cooked microwaved. Everything was absolutely perfect. Not one complaint really really good. Best lamb shank I’ve ever had and my wife said that her steak was the best she’d ever had really impressed. Puddings are amazing, too, and absolutely stuffed full Yet to have breakfast, but so far 10 out of 10 and will definitely come back

I have eaten here several times when visiting and the service is very good and the food is of a standard you would expect but prices reflect the building, they are on the high side of value for money.

We have visited this restaurant before, but not for a while. It was a family Sunday lunch event, and I am pleased to say that the food was as good as I remember, if not better. The staff were very friendly, attentive and professional - thank you. Combined with the attractive grounds including the lake which provided an ideal option to walk off the lunch, it was the perfect family Sunday lunch experience. We will be back!

not very clean, food not cooked properly, looks nothing like the photos - staff were friendly enough though

We arrived early for our table so we sat outside in the beautiful gardens and enjoyed a bottle of Rose! Dinner was a bit disappointing. The food itself was lovely however they had one member of staff serving all the tables so we had to wait a bit for drinks and the food took a while to be served. Overall we were at our table for over 2 hours and had to rush at the end as we had to get back home. I'd hope that it was a one-off so will visit again.

It has been a while since we visited the King and Lamb and we wondered how they would deal with the social distancing situation. Not only were they very professional in this regard but they also maintained the very high standards of food quality and customer service. The live music was an unexpected bonus, and we will certainly return. Thank you!

Went on a Eat out Help out offer, received a phone call to check if we were coming, which was fine but on arrival the table wasn’t ready at 6pm so was taken to the bar where there wasn’t any seats and didn’t want to stand there as no social distances, we had passed rooms where seats were free so took us back there, then said table was ready! The table was cleaned while we sat but I asked for the arms on the chairs to be cleaned, they only cleaned my chair! Food was okay not a wide menu, not the menu that is shown on website! On the menu fish and chips £13.50 we paid £15.00 Caesar salad £12.00 we paid £12.50 We had the cheeses board which joke not value for money. On entering Stoke Place we were impressed but unfortunately the impression didn’t last, on being taken to our table I noticed a large puddle by the table which I mentioned to the waiter, he shrugged and said it’s a leaky radiator and walked away and left the puddle, which was still there when we left, Health and safety didn’t come into it!

Had dinner and afternoon tea here whilst staying a the hotel. The cod with creamed potato at dinner was delicious - so much so we had it again at dinner the next night. Afternoon tea was really nice and filling. The scones were a generous size and are baked on the premises. The staff are welcoming, friendly and eager to help. Mark is a complete natural and really enjoyed talking to him. Jack was most pleasant and helpful along with Tunde and Ozzie. Rene was entertaining and engaging. They all added to a really wonderful ambience.

Weekend gate away at Stoke Park and we wanted something different, so booked a table at the King and Lamb for dinner. Very warm welcome and the food was delicious. We will certainly be going back anytime we are in Stoke Poges again.

Booked a bottomless Sunday lunch to celebrate our anniversary back in March. Food was amazing with plenty of options to choose from. Roast beef was tender and served with an array of vegetables. Staff were very attentive and kept our glasses topped up. Will return.

This is a well kept secret. Food amazing, great value with limitless wine and fabulous service. Very relaxed atmosphere and always made to feel really welcome and not rushed.

Our family booked to partake of the Bottomless Wine Sunday lunch to celebrate Granddad's birthday. Ages in our party ranged from 3 years to 93 years and I am delighted to say that all participants had a very good time. The service was effortless, friendly and courteous-everyone went out of their way to ensure we had a good time. The meal choices were extensive and very imaginative and we all really enjoyed the food-even the kids' meals were lavishly presented.I have been to other "bottomless" meals where the hosts are very stingy with the drink element of the deal. This certainly could not be said of The King and Lamb. They even provided Granddad with a birthday plate with a cake and truffles on it and also allowed us to take our own cake. All in all a fabulous afternoon in delightful and historic surroundings.

We stayed at the hotel and enjoyed many meals whilst here, including lunch and afternoon tea. All was superbly cooked, presented and delicious. The service provided by Paul was exemplary without being stuffy:humorous, friendly, informative and professional at the same time. We sampled as much as possible during our time there, and it never failed to impress. The bar downstairs is another little gem with a fabulous range of drinks on offer in most interesting surroundings. Highly recommended.

We were served by Mark personally today (Restaurant Manager). We dined for Afternoon Tea and I had advised in advance on the booking of vegetarian requirements (no meat, fish or eggs). The afternoon tea spread was surprisingly good and it was great to see care and attention paid to the vegetarian guest and the range of vegetarian sandwiches that the kitchen were able to offer. For this I thanked Mark as it was a superb effort, beyond my expectations. I highly recommend the afternoon tea here at Stoke Place for meat eaters and vegetarians, no complaints on any of it. As it was a scorching hot day outside, they also provided us with a jug of iced water for us which was a really nice touch. We took a walk around the lake after the afternoon tea and it was a really pleasant visit. Mark thank you so much for taking care of us. I wish I had booked afternoon tea at Stoke Place much sooner! I will be sure to return.

I spent several weeks in the hotel for business and had dinner every evening in this restaurant. I tried every starter, every main course and every dessert. They were all fantastic and the wines as well.Marc the restaurant manager took really good care of me and made me feel like I was coming to my second home every week.

Our family of ten celebrated my Daughter's 50th Birthday and had a lovely time. The food was good, staff very friendly. Paul made us feel at home....so much so we stayed 5hrs in total using the lovely grounds to walk after lunch ...a last drink in the bar and then made our way home. (Yes I would recommend and hopefully will visit again soon) Brenda Willans

rather over priced small portions. Breakfast was ok though the smoked fish smelt off and was undercooked

Well this is our 3rd visit to Stoke Place and again blown away it was at least 8 months since last there and the Two managers Remembered us to the extent of exact detail of our last visit and mine and my wives first names (not sure if that’s a good thing)I can honestly say it is worth every penny, the staff are not shy giving out the wine that’s included in the price and the food is fantastic, I was a bit cheeky and asked for more beef, I wish I hadn’t as they called my bluff and brought us all extra which was to much , well for a couple of usPaul and Mark ( think they might be Brothers) we’re so attentive along with the girls on the wine service that it made our day Thanks all at Stoke PlaceAny chance we can keep this our secret so we can get a table when desired

We weren’t sure we were in the right place approaching this late 17th Century house (gardens by Capability Brown) along with a wedding party. However we were at the restaurant as hoped. The Set Menu is well priced and the food good (£24 2 courses £30 for 3). We had the Thai soup,(tasty) and I had the sea bream which was perfectly cooked, my wife enjoyed the chicken. Very pleasant service, delightful surroundings.

Had dinner in the Hotel restaurant - Asparagus to start followed by 28 day aged ribeye steak. My wife choose chicken as her main. Steak and chicken cooked to perfection. Dessert of millionaires shortbread with salted caramel ice cream a little underwhelming.Good selection of wines - particularly enjoyed the Spanish selection.Expect to pay top end prices.

Good choice, very good food a great place to go for Sunday lunch. With wine included, this is a fantastic value for money place. We visit for lunch many times, and will continue to do so.

My wife and I visited here today for the "bottomless" sunday lunch. For £30 you get three courses plus unlimited wine!Table water is provided on your table and after being seated, we ordered the Goat's Cheese and Smoked Salmon starters. Both were small, but very tasty. A member of staff provided us with a couple of freshly baked bread rolls to enjoy with our starters.Main course next, with my wife choosing the roast chicken while I went for the Roast Beef, which was cooked rare. Horseradish and mustard accompanied my beef, which also had a delicious mushroom puree hidden away under some of the other veg! My wife enjoyed her chicken and we both enthused over the superb Cauliflower Cheese which was served separately.For our puds, I chose the Sticky Toffee pud which was not overly sweet, but needed a larger portion of ice cream to accompany it. My wife chose the Chocolate & Raspberry concoction, which looked amazing.Throughout the meal, the wine continued to flow! Overall, a very pleasant sunday lunch and pretty good value given the abundance of wine at £67.50 inclusive of service charge!

We visited the king and lamb for the valentines menu, what can I say the food was fantastic we could not fault it! Ozzy was our waiter for the night he was so welcoming and could not do enough for us, in-fact all the staff couldn’t have been more friendly and attentive. We had such a great night I would recommend anyone to visit as you will not be disappointed. Thank you again to all the staff! We look forward to coming back soon

Lovely venue, stylish quirky decor and good ambiance. 2 of our group have food intolerances and we emailed the week before to inform them. Unfortunately egg intolerant people were served mayonnaise based remoulade and the coeliac was served the world's smallest plaice that judging by her reaction was dusted with flour. On the upside the steaks were great, the spicy fish soup was delicious, gluten free bread was very good. Some very good stuff here, but kitchen/servers need to sharpen their knowledge of food allergies/intolerances to make sure they can provide the level of service they clearly want to achieve for all of their guests

I have been to the king and lamb a few times before, the sunday lunch with wine is great value and very nice food. We had the sunday lunch set up for 12 in a separate dining room and we all had a fantastic time. Well worth a visit, i would recommend this place. Many thanks to the team there.

Brilliant food and service provided by Mark and his team. The 4 course dinner was exceptional especially the beef main course!Good value at £99 a head include canapes on arrival and 2 glasses of Prosecco as well as dancing until 1.00am.The cooking at the King & Lamb is definitely on a par with any of the 1 starred michelin restaurants in the area.

Went for Saturday lunch and the chef came up with a lovely vegan menu for me. I gave prior notice but they assured me they will cater for vegan walk ins. Was nice not to be treated as a nuisance but made very welcome. Food was good, service and environment was excellent. Lovely Christmas decorations :)

Lovely place.Food would suit most tastes but mushroom risotto, again for vegetarians? Served up everywhere as if chef has no imagination.The offer of wine included in the price is not to be sneezed at!Service great. Prices good.Ambiance goodIf I went again I would let them know in advance of mobility issues as it is a very old, rambling place which is a struggle.

I had a fabulous Birthday lunch here. We only found via Redletter Days when searching for somewhere to spend a gift voucher.The lunch menu is is short (2 fish, 2 meat, 1 veggie mains) but everything we ordered was cooked and presented beautifully. The welcome and service from Mark and the team was excellent.We ordered the Belly pork and Crab salad from the starters, the Brill and the Beef from the mains and the Apple tart and Chocolate & cherry for desserts. All washed down with some very good and reasonably priced wine (by the glass).The cooking and service is better than some of the Michelin starred restaurants in the Thames Valley area and a bit more reasonably priced too.The dining room is very pleasant and the grounds and gardens very good for an after lunch stroll.We would definately recommend and will be returning again soon.Would definately

Called here as I was looking for a decent restaurant to take clients etc in the area. Reviews were promising and so we went. Its a stunning setting, with amazing history. Great for overseas visitors. Food was really good. I had crispy belly pork which was splendid, followed by the sea bream. Delicious. We had a vegan, and she loved the food. They are really proud of their veggie And vegan choices. Staff were great too. From the barman to the waiter. Thoroughly enjoyable. I’ll be back.

We booked dinner at Stoke Place to celebrate a wedding anniversary, booking via Red Letter Days, and the process was quite straightforward. On arrival, we were a little early, and the hotel advised us that although we could go to the bar, there was a large group already there from a business meeting booking. The bar was indeed very crowded and LOUD, so we accepted the suggestion to go straight to the restaurant. Well - we were there for probably 1.5h, and we were the only people in the restaurant. So - the atmosphere was definitely lacking. The poor waiter must have felt like he was stalking us, as he had nothing else to do.The food was acceptable - nice breads to start with. Starters nicely presented, and tasty. I had vegetarian gnocchi in cheese sauce for mains, which was very tasty. OH had a steak which wasn't great. Desserts also OK - nothing memorable. Would we return? Probably not - food wasn't special enough, although perhaps we just chose a bad night, with no other guests dining it pretty much put a damper on the experience.

Went to Stoke Place for Father's day lunch at the King & Lamb restaurant with a group of friends. 3rd time we have dined here this year and still love it. The food is amazing - better than many high end restaurants. Service is lovely and warm (Thanks Mark and team) and children are well catered for too. Can't recommend this place enough!

The restaurant setting is wonderful and the food is fantastic, but the bar prices are astronomical, so beware. eg. a large glass of wine and two single gin and tonics £29, two coffees and two single measure Disaronno Amaretto Liqueurs another £18. We have heard great reviews about the bottomless Sunday Lunch, £28 for three courses with unlimited house wine, at these bar prices you can see why that is so popular and needs to be booked weeks in advance.We ate delicious food from the A La Carte menu. We both had a Starter, Main Course and Dessert that cost only £84 and we had what were probably the most expensive choices offered, great value for what was outstanding quality food. The Crispy Belly Pork, the 28 day Salt Aged Beef and Tarte Tatin were particularly good!Service was excellent, with the staff very polite and attentive without being intrusive.Restaurant Manager is quite a character, with many stories to tell.

Had lunch here on Saturday. The restaurant is beautiful and service was excellent. They have a set menu for lunch and you cannot order off the a la carte. Will go back and try the a la carte one evening.

Would highly recommend this restaurant, visited today for Sunday lunch with my boyfriend, what a lovely place, the grounds are beautiful, the meal amazing and the staffso welcoming. The food was lovely, hot and plentiful with a nice choice for all courses.This venue and restaurant is a hidden gem in the area and we will definately be returning and recommending to our family and friends.

We almost cancelled lunch today as our 4&5yr olds have had rotten cold and little sleep. However, Nanny has to have a birthday treat! The welcome and ambience were very good. The food and the service were wonderful. We had the first 2 courses, still unfortunately had to leave as our youngest was becoming a bit weary and upset - which I find is never pleasant for other diners. Having said that she gave a mini rendition of "twinkle twinkle" prior to her deflation and had a lovely response from the diners when I attempted to turn her volume down! I have to say it really was amazing that as we didn't stay for dessert the Maitre 'D/Head waiter Mark was so thoughtful, giving me a beautiful takeaway birthday gift for Nanny (photo attached). I apologised for my little ones noise and he was very gracious and understanding. Mark said we are always very welcome. It's hard as a parent when your trying to please all the family and want to go out, yet got tired or tail-end poorly tot. I would recommend the bottomless roast without a doubt. Most certainly outstanding value @ £22/£28 pp (2/3 course option), plus wine refills thought the 2hr dinning slot (sadly I was not drinking today), when you take into consideration the price of some local pub roasts that offer far less. We will most definitely return... Perhaps childless and undoubtedly thirstier! Thank you to the entire staff for our visit.

King and Lamb need to correct their website which states they serve till 15:00 on Sundays, however when calling them I'm told it's 14:00 latest to be seated, really needs to be clearer. Did dine here recently and the room has a great ambience, service was very good as was the food. Would recommend.

Whilst staying at Stoke Place we ate here on two occasions one being the NYE dinner & dance. The food was absolutely lovely made even better by the attentive but not intrusive staff.

This restaurant is amazing! The food is incredible, the staff are excellent and we just had the best time. There is not a lot of choice as some have said but you should expect this as it is an a la carte restaurant!The dishes are very well designed, beautifully presented and (most importantly) delicious!We will definitely be returning.Just one small point - there is no online menu so you don't know what's available till you get there.

We visit here occasionally when going through to London. Good quality food and drinks and nice atmosphere. Staff could be a bit more friendly and chatty sometimes but otherwise great!
