Went here for a Sunday roast as eaten here before and had some really nice meals so it was disappointing that the roast was tasteless. We had to ask for condiments which we waited for so food got even colder it was not that hot to begin with. Just because you present the food in a fancy way on a plate does not mean its gonna be nice the Yorkshire pudding was hard and crisp nothing had much taste not e ough gravy I wouldn't go back for a roast but a very nice clean pub.

We decided we wanted to go out and have a Sunday Roast. Ended up here. Nice pub. I had the roast chicken. Was very tasty. The wife had roast lamb. The lamb was banging £18.50 each. What I don't agree with is that the prices for the beer aren't on the menu. Just tell you what they have. £5.65 for a pint of pilsner and a Pepsi max draft at £3.35 is pretty steep. But over all a delicious dining experience

We went a couple of weeks ago for Sunday lunch. My husband really enjoyed his steak and my fish was beautiful. Desserts were amazing. All of the staff were friendly and helpful; our lovely server was Tiffany and she couldn't have been nicer.

Overall good experience, nice staff, welcoming, nice decor. However we ordered the lamb for the roast dinner and for £18.50 you would except more meat. It was a bit disappointing because you feel a little taken advantaged off. Tasty but not worth the price.

Pretty average Sunday roast, Yorkshire pudding looked good, but tasted like it was old and reheated. Poor selection of lagers, no Stella, Fosters, Kronenberg, Petoni etc... Just the unknown stuff with a bigger markup for the pub....

We came for Sunday lunch with some friends as it's a half-way point for us. All the staff were friendly and welcoming and very accommodating when our friends arrived late! Food was lovely, we had all the roast dinners between us (chicken, lamb, pork and beef) plus a plant burger, and everyone was more than happy. Good portion sizes, cooked perfectly, lovely atmosphere and great service.

My partner had the prawn cocktail as a main. It was a bit disappointing as the prawns were very small and about ten of them. The dish mainly consisted of chopped lettuce and tomato. I had the burger which was very good but very few chips with it. We have been several times to the King's Mead. It is expensive and I left feeling that it's no longer value for money I'm sorry to say. The staff and service were very good but at a hundred and twenty quid for four people as I say disappointing.

Disappointing. The King's Mead has really gone down hill since the last time I reviewed a year ago. £100+ meal for 2, though they don't have any of the menu that you actually want, like the steak frites or chicken burger, which is surprising for a Saturday night and which I feel is a ploy to get you to buy the £30 steak. Staff is nice but inattentive, had to ask for cutlery and flag someone down for more drinks. Used to love coming to the King's Mead and since we are moving out of walking distance, figured we'd give it one last chance, but honestly debated leaving after the first drink. Really disappointing as the King's Mead used to be a great dining experience, but perhaps they've changed management or staff? Wish I'd spent my money on somewhere else.

I don’t normally leave reviews but im sorry the food was so bad completely tasteless. The only reason i didn’t bring it to attention as we was celebrating my grandparents anniversary and didn't want to cause a scene. It wasn't just me a few other family members said the same all having different dishes. For me personally the steak was completely tasteless and for the money it is i don’t think I’ll be coming back. Which is a shame as the atmosphere and staff were very nice.

I felt a huge load lifted after our chat.. these girls are a huge credit to the establishment and really made me want to return if anyone is going here look out for Ella Becky and amy.

Well worth the 6.50 fee to play it as you can get a good 2 or 3 hour practise session in and tighten up your wedge play

Needed to find somewhere for a family get together on 30th May (lunchtime) with people coming from different locations, Stumbled across The King's Mead and I am so glad that we did. Wonderful and attentive service from Debbie, quality food (6 clean plates was evidence of that) and a lovely ambience to the restaurant. Everyone was welcoming & polite; and one of our group needed the gluten-free option which was also very varied compared to other places we have visited. We all agreed that we would be returning again in the future - top marks for a fantastic restaurant.

We've been eating and drinking at The Kingsmead since it opened, it's our favourite family pub until this week. Prices have significantly increased, which was eventually to be expected, however it was a big jump and the quality has also reduced. I often have fish and chips which has always been the same great standard, this week I received 2 dry pieces of small fish, and the batter was poor and flavourless. I didn't complain as was with my daughter, but husband wasn't impressed with his chicken burger either.

Had the dusted calamari for a starter. Very hard to chew on. It was frozen. For a starter that costed £7.75 you want to eat fresh calamari. Main was a Mangalorian curry. Overall good but rice was not fresh. Again for £14 you want freshly cooked rice. I don’t mind paying the price if and when the food is top notch

It was our second time here for food, this time it was a roast, a Easter Sunday roast. In all honesty it was like having a school dinner roast, it was TERRIBLE. The stuffing (which cost extra for 2 balls was clearly that cheap frozen stuffing, the gravy was completely tasteless, and the roaster parsnips looked like they had been boiled. I honestly do not understand how you can mess up a roast THAT badly. I will never be returning again. This place is disgusting. Please have a look at my photos and tell me that the parsnips aren’t boiled. The pigs in blankets was like £3 for 2 Small sausages. Completely let down by this place. Also the cauliflower cheese was just cauliflower covered in grated cheese.

Lovely pub but disappointed with the kids meal. Tiny bowl of pasta for 6.75 and garlic bread starter was £4.25. Very expensive for what she had. Also had a brownie for dessert. She is only 8 and not a big eater. Had to come home and make her sone more food. 🙄 adult roasts were ok but potatoes were soggy and not crispy. Sadly we won’t be heading back in a hurry.

Seated upstairs and rather forgotten about for late 3pm Sunday lunch for 7 people. Good starters but then no cutlery replaced for main courses had to ask for some so we could eat our food and then it was slapped on the table by staff looking rather disgruntled. Ditto puddings asked again for spoons and after nothing we found some ourselves. Food good but would not rush back.
