Had the chicken and mushroom pie for lunch it, arrived well presented/hot and tasted great. Service was excellent. Lovely pub.

We had a 1:30 table booked for Sunday lunch today. One course in and at just 2:10 the waitress is hurrying us off as we needed to leave our table by 2:30 You offer a 3-course + coffee menu and expect this done and dusted in an hour. Sorry, we will go elsewhere next time! What a shame

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

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.

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.

Visited as a family of 4 on a Saturday evening. The pub is charming with great country decor, comfy seating on the bar side and there’s also a restaurant side for more smart meals. Gluten free options if you need them are excellent and not just an after thought. We had the steak as well as lamb dishes and kids meals. The kids meals are much cheaper than other local places (brewery tap is double) and yet hearty and well prepared. The steak was top drawer and easily comparable to some of the top city restaurants. Lamb was delicious. Deserts were delicious with proper ice cream which isn’t just the usual tub stuff. We’ve been for over 15 years and despite a few changes of owners, always a pleasure 👍 .
