Many thanks to the staff at the King Charles for looking after us so well this Saturday when we had a buffet lunch for our local MS Group. The food and service were both excellent. and the conservatory provided a lovely environment. We have booked again for next year!

We went here for a family lunch and thought that the restaurant looked very welcoming, with comfortable seating and atmospheric lighting. Sadly, our experience didn't live up to expectations. We waited almost three quarters of an hour for the food to arrive, and when it did, it was mostly unremarkable. Mine was worse than that - I chose sea bass, which was fine, but it arrived sitting on a bed of what looked like smashed up baked potato which had been positively drenched in lemon juice. Why lemon juice, I can't imagine. Perhaps someone thought that there should be lemon juice on the fish, but unfortunately it had all soaked into the potato. Really acid-tasting and very unpleasant. We didn't linger, but cut the meal short, asking for the bill immediately after our main course. Someone needs to take control in the kitchen here. I doubt we shall return.

Staff sounded annoyed when taking drinks order, then took 40 minutes to take a food order by which time one of the menu items was unavailable (this was at 7:10pm, so not good at all). We had only ordered mains but this still took a while to come and we were very hungry by then. Asked for ketchup that never arrived and should have been given a steak knife for the steak but wasn't and couldn't ask a staff member for one as they never came back to check on us. Unable to order any more drinks, as again we were never checked on. When we had finished and the plates were being collected we just asked for the bill as we didn't know how long a dessert or extra drinks would take, especially as we were now at the end of our allocated time slot due to slow service. Bill was printed and payed on the spot which was fine. Food was nice but wasn't anything special. All staff wore masks and the tables were spread out but there was still a nice atmosphere, even so early in the evening. I would go back as the food was nice and it is a good meeting point distance wise but just very disappointed with how we were treated.

I love the building and the decor shame the food is always disappointing. I had a vegetable flatbread. It was tiny, saucer sized and had one skinny piece of asparagus, some rocket a lot of what looked like cheddar scattered and an overbearing taste of mustard. It was horrible. Overpriced and extremely disappointing. I wont be going back.

A lovely venue but the menu choice is limited and needs a attention. My concern is the quality of the food which I ordered a cheese burger which came with a fatty piece of bacon and mushroom. The fries tasted of over used oil. Sadly the food let’s down the venue. If I was the Manager I would be taking greater interest in the quality and consistency of the product being served from the kitchen. Great shame as I had high expectations. Drinks and bar service was fine and maybe the conflict is the balance between the two. Needs more TLC

Having been in customer service for 40 years I feel I am qualified to give a fair and unbiased evaluation of our visit to The Lazy Pig In The Pantry.During a weekend away with my wife we happened upon this fabulous restaurant.From the moment we arrived until the moment we left the service was perfect, and for a cynical me to say, that is something. Attentive and friendly but not intrusive or overbearing, the service was spot on.The food choice was as expected at a restaurant like this and didn't disappoint. Perfectly executed with presentation that was neat and appetising without being pretentious. Everything was cooked as we requested and was so satisfying it prompted us to share a dessert.One nice touch was being able to see a chef behind a bar area cooking fresh pizzas. It provided a connection between the kitchen and customer which added to the atmosphere. Too often the kitchen seems detached from the restaurant and after all, the kitchen is where the magic happens! Don't hesitate.... visit this eatery, you wont be disappointed.

Sunday lunch. It was beautiful weather and decided to stop by....wish we didn’t. We were stood waiting to be seen for a while, we wanted to sit outside and got told to just find our own table. It didn’t look like they had any COVID safety precautions in place, except from the hand sanitiser. The tables are placed very close together, not like other restaurants I’ve been in. It was 20 minutes before we got a drink as every member of staff chose to not acknowledge us. We were so disappointed after this we decided to go elsewhere for a second drink.

I’ve visited this pub a couple of times now and have to say I’m surprised at some of the reviews on here. My latest visit was a day ago so is based on recent experience. I think the team and set up at the pub from a Covid perspective leave you feeling very safe and the outside seating area is clean and brilliantly set up to allow you to eat or drink with your party without worrying about other people being too close. There are clear wayfinding and directional signs in the pub as well an abundance of hand sanitiser - I know where to go if I run out! The team there couldn’t do enough for us. We didn’t have to wait for our order as some of the other posts suggest and the person serving came over a couple of times to check our food was ok or if we needed anything else. Yes there is a reduced menu but I’d expect that and that’s common place in everywhere I’ve visited during this time. The food was lovely and portion sizes were decent (I have a big appetite!) We had starter and a main and had no room left for pudding but they looked amazing!We will definitely return.

We had a Sunday roast (beef) which was “okay” at best, the roast potatoes weren’t fresh and the dinner was warm not hot - the meat was good quality but in summary, the best bit of the meal was the meat gravy which had great flavour. The Server was working hard, and knew the menu options etc well but staffing was lacking overall and drinks, sauces etc all took too long for the level of pricing they pitch at. If I was being harsh, it was a Brasserie priced dinner for Harvester quality meal. I wouldn’t recommend it to a friend. Covid wise also, the outside seating area was too closely packed and the tables internally in the conservatory area meant you had to walk past people within 1m to enter, exit or go to the toilets. Gin menu is pretty good though.

1. Took staff a long time to wipe down our table - didn’t feel clean given that we had to chase2. Staff were rude and clearly didn’t really want to be there3. Had to chase staff for our drinks, food order, food, cutlery 4. Small portions and poor quality food Here’s a full summary: If you’re cautious about Coronavirus this is not the place to go. When we arrived and asked for a table outside, the waiter clearly couldn’t be bothered and told us ‘we could, if we could find one’. We asked for the table to be wiped down and cleaned, I had to ask for this twice before someone actually wiped it down.25 minutes after ordering drinks they hadn’t arrived - they had plenty of staff, and were not at capacity either. When I asked how long the drinks would take I was told ‘they’d come out when they’re ready’ by a brunette waitress. I responded to let them know my friend was feeling light headed in the heat - they brought out tap water shortly after but it felt like we’d really put them out. Then, we had to ask for someone to take our order instead of staff proactively coming out to take ours. Zero attention to customers needs. In the meantime, as we waited for our food we overheard the table behind us had issues with their order. Turns out they’d been waiting an hour for their food, when the food arrived the staff hadn’t brought their starters. Another table were also having issues and had left half their meals untouched as they left. When we received our food 3 of our 5 dishes arrived. When we asked about the other 2, the waiter rudely responded that he couldn’t carry them all in one go. Generally, he gave the impression that he didn’t want to be there. We then waited for cutlery which they’d forgotten.The food itself was mediocre, if that. The portions were small, the chicken was overcooked, the cauliflower cheese lacked the cheese and was plain. It was far from the meal we were expecting. Given the current pandemic, it’s restaurants like these which really let the side down. It’s safe to say I’ll be thinking twice before eating out in the next few weeks!

The setting was great, lots of indoor and outdoor space available and everything was clean. We sat in the conservatory area which was very picturesque with all the hanging plants and greenery. The glass doors opened out onto the patio area which was perfect for the sunny day.The staff were very helpful, we didn’t wait long to be seated and the table service was good. For starters we shared the Tomato and Parmesan dough balls which were really tasty. For the main we had the Stone baked Beef Ragu Pizza and the Lemon and Thyme Chicken Breast. The pizza was really good. The chicken breast was nice although it could have used a bit more flavour, we couldn’t taste any seasoning and the veg weren’t roasted quite enough for our liking. For dessert we shared a cheeseboard for one and the portion size was huge! There was more than enough cheese which was really nice but more crackers would have made it better. And on the menu it said it would have grapes but we didn’t get any. :( Overall it was really nice, we will definitely be returning!

Even so I would return.well done to all concerned.I forgot to say that one of our party had a birthday and the waitress brought her a pudding a paddle with a scrolled happy birthday message.

This place is perfect for anything...We've stopped for drinks, eaten meals and even had meetings here. The venue is perfect for celebratory events like birthdays, and even funeral wakes. The manager and his staff all know exactly what they're doing and even with the occasional problem, deal with it in a proffesional manner.I couldn't recommend this place enough. It serves good quality food and drinks in a comfortable, clean and welcoming environment. Also it is extremely Covid friendly. Special mention to Jason and Milo who when we've made special requests have gone the extra mile to pacify our needs. There are many places similar to this but The Lazy Pig make you realise that its the staff that make a difference.

We went to the Lazy Pig on bank holiday Monday and had a great time. The atmosphere is very pleasant, it's a great place for a family get together or just a quiet coffee as there is plenty of seating areas. The food is amazing but I do feel over priced if you were not paying the 50% off eat out to help out, which was a great offer I might add. I have been before and they have had offers on food for different days of the week. The staff are very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. One tip, if the road works are telling you to divert ignore this and drive through. I understand from the manager this has caused lots of problems. I love this pub, shame it is not local to me!

visited Monday lunch time. After reading the last reviews we were hesitant on going however the place is beautiful so decided too. Firstly we were given no explanations on the rules and of how to order. When someone’s decided to finally come and take our order, I had the bacon and cheese burger which was ok however I definitely wouldn’t pay the full price for it, my daughter had a pizza which was good for the price. My main concern was that none of the staff were social distancing, many of the younger staff just stood talking with each other. After reading the previous reviews, I’ve noticed the manager hasn’t responded to any of the negative comments. The place however has a beautiful interior.

The shame of it is that the venue is a very welcoming and a convenient establishment that has a lot of potential to be a regular venue. However the food particularly when compared to the high prices lets the rest down.I would have been happy to order a basic bacon & cheese burger for £13.50 if when it arrived i had been treated to something that reflected the price. It was edible but was woefully of the mark when compared with a £4.00 over the counter type burger. Unfortunately this was way off the mark.I would go back to socialise over a drink but i'm not sure i would eat there again unless there was a massive overhaul as to what was going on in the kitchen.I feel sorry for the staff who where friendly and attentive but massively let down with i suspect the lack of investiment on the kitchen staff side.

Was not impressed with either the food or service. Staff seemed more interesting in chatting amongst themselves and not taking care of their customers. Food when it arrived was barely warm and had to go back and be reheated. Meat was very tough and difficult to cut. Food was overpriced for what it was and how it was served. Definitely won’t be going back.

This is my first experience where I have had to turn my food away. Completely inedible. Grey, dry, poor quality steak. Chips under cooked. Poor service. Bad presentation. Had to send my steak back after 2 bites. The worst steak I have ever witnessed. As soon as it arrived on my plate my first thought was “road kill”. Will never return. Swapped my original meal to a pizza which was much better but should remove the steak off their menu. My partner cut so many disgusting pieces off of his steak which I have attached below (please note, this has not been chewed)

I’ve visited once before and had a great time and lovely food. This time however was unsuccessful. Food took a long time to come, drinks were forgotten about and we had to ask three times where they were. When food did arrive it was cold and there were elements of both our meals missing. We ended up just wanting to eat and get out of there to go somewhere else for a drink. The waitress was so young, quite unprofessional - could hear her talking to another member of staff about personal matters quite loudly next to our table. When we said our meals had things missing she just shrugged and asked what we wanted her to do, just wasn’t the best customer experience. It’s such a great location and a lovely venue, but we won’t be returning.

Me and my husband came here with out other friends who were a couple on a Tuesday night. We were shown to our table by the waitress but not told the rules on how to order.We ordered soft drinks off the app , and were told ordering on the app you did not get the eat out to help out discount 15 mins after . It took about 20 mins for our drinks to come . We ordered food straight away . The menu was vague about what was in the salads so I asked what was in the salad and I felt like I was being mocked , the waitress said 'well like I dont know like leaves ' .We kept asking for drinks and they took ages to come , maybe 20 mins each time and you arent allowed near the bar .We ordered halloumi fries as a starter, they never came.After waiting over an hour for our food , we asked the waitress if there was a problem with the food , she never checked. You think she would have noticed that it had been a long time since we had our food but she didnt . Another 20 mins pass and no one has got back to us . I ask again where our food was after waiting for 90 mins . She gos to the kitchen and tells us that the order fell on the floor and shes really sorry and the manager will come over to apologise. He doesn't come over for around 15 mins , so I go up to her again and say that we are going to leave . She then gos to get him and he apologises and tells us everything will be on the house . 10 mins or so later the food comes ( Including the halloumi starter we were supposed to have 2 hours before ) and a chicken salad comes with no chicken , by this point we cant even be bothered to complain anymore, none of the waitresses asked if we needed anything else with our meal ( condiments, drinks etc.) Or whether everything was ok ( it wasnt ) . They just dumped the plates down . We eat our food and walked out . Worth noting that my husband has diabetes type 1 and has to eat to avoid his blood sugar levels dropping so to have food served for over 2 hours is pretty shocking. Overall just horrendous , the worst pub service I've ever had ever anywhere. I really think they need to retrain their staff and care about their customers .

Would recommend and we’ll definitely be back.

First time out after lockdown so we were a bit apprehensive but we needn’t have worried as we felt as safe as one could be. We did eat outside which was even better, good food and service.

We sat outside, which was pleasant and socially distanced. The inside of the pub looked decent too. The quality of the food, all 3 courses, was of a high standard though reasonably priced. I'd passed this pub many times before and read reviews from past times under different management which put me off. Recent reviews had really improved and I'll endorse that. There wasn't a huge choice of mains on offer but, in my opinion, this was a good thing as it focussed the mind and the 3 different orders were all excellent. I won't hesitate to return and have it in mind for when our other son visits us from Los Angeles, hopefully later this year.

We come from Essex to go to ‘Kew Little Pigs’ and although that wasn’t as good as we expected, we said the trip was 100% worth it due to coming to The Lazy Pig after! Social distancing measures were perfect, food was incredible, staff were lovely, sat outside in the sunshine, everything was just so lovely, extremely well priced, location is perfect, decor and just everything in general was spot on - would definitely go back!

We were passing by and stopped here for Sunday lunch it wasn’t overly busy & the staff very welcoming I ordered the chicken roast the chicken and cabbage were very tough to eat . I also was given dirty cutlery this is bad enough on a normal day but made worse by the fact we are going through a pandemic Would we return for a meal probably not

I visited for the first time today as part of a small group and will definitely return.The service was brilliant, we asked advice of the person serving us on the menu and she was very knowledgeable. I had the king prawn pizza and the rest of my group ordered different varieties of pizza, an excellent choice but looking at all the other food coming out so would everything else on the menu! It’s not the easiest time for a restaurant however we all felt very safe and it’s clear the restaurant takes social distancing and measures seriously. There are really clear guidelines, directions in the pub are clear and sanitiser is abundantly available. Lovely team, fab food and I can’t wait to revisit!

This was our first meal out post lockdown, after reading the reviews we decided on coming here. The food was ok but nothing special. I was under the impression that there would be lots of safety measures in place however there were only the basic measures in place. The staff don’t social distance and don’t wear masks or any protective equipment. If you’re looking for a safe restaurant to eat out in I wouldn’t recommend here.

First day of opening after lock down. Me and my husband went for lunch. Staff very friendly and polite. Everyone was being respectful of my personal space. Restaurant and rest room very clean. Food was excellent as always. I had chocolate brownie for desert, I would highly recommend this for chocolate loves.well done to management and staff.

Great pub...superb food. 3 of our party had pizzas and 1 person the fillet steak. All meals delicious. Service was very good too but most importantly at the moment was how safe we felt in terms of social distancing. The pub has set things up well with sanitiser available. We sat outside (which is lovely) but inside looked just as comfortable and spaced out. Will definitely return.

We came here at the height of COVID 19. Obviously this was a stressful time for all pubs but the lazy pig could not have done better with their hygiene or hospitality. They had exercised appropriate social distance measures and hand gel was near by. They also made clear the changes they have undergone to abide by the new guidelines. The menu was limited for obvious reasons but the choice was plentiful. We opted for halloumi fries and chicken with a king prawn pizza and steak for main. Whilst there were several things wrong with the order I cannot fault our waitress who served us - Megan - she went out of her way to rectify everything and was everything a waitress should be (and didn’t make us feel embarrassed at all for being so picky with our steak). The evening was well spent and the price affordable and I’m glad we took a couple mistakes with a pinch of salt because it was enjoyable with delicious food and honest mistakes can happen anywhere.

Me and my lovely wife came a few days ago for dinner. We where slightly concerned with everything going on at the moment about coming out. We where taken back by how much effort and awareness the staff had with COVID-19 procedures. They where all so amazing at making us feel safe. The food was stunning and had a lovely chat with the managers. All so friendly and we will definitely be back again soon. Thank you lazy pig and the management for a superb time.

We love this place, its such a beautiful setting and the food is lovely but it was a little concerning that none of the staff were wearing any protective equipment for covid-19. Every other restaurant we have visited, we have been made to feel extra safe with staff wearing masks or other protective equipment whilst serving us. Unfortunately The Lazy Pig staff wasn't and it did make us feel a little akward during our visit.

We came when this place opened and it was a disaster. Wrongly cooked, poor quality steaks, and mixed up order for starters and dessert. Good service though and money removed from the bill. So I tried again months later. Same result, poor quality steaks , overcooked etc. Bill was half price so didn't complain this time but they need to sort this out if we and my party will ever go again.

I came yesterday with my family of 5 and we had the best time!Not only was the food outstanding but the service and managers made it really special. I can’t stress that this isn’t your average place to go to for dinner, it’s a stunning venue with staff that know what they are doing. Highly recommend for a great outing/birthday/event.

Attended on a Frday evening with two friends, my first pub visit of any sort since lockdown. The health and safety was well organised and we sat outside. My prosciutto and pineapple pizza was very underwhelming - extremely thin crust, five or six pieces of tinned pineapple and overall very tasteless. The service was average at best, and we felt somewhat hassled being asked if we wanted more drinks when barely a third of the way through our pints.

Me and my family thought it would be nice to pop out for a quick meal as a treat after we had been stuck in for lockdown. The safety of the place made me feel so much more comfortable to come out for a family meal! The food was great! I had a smoked pork belly pizza along with a buttermilk chicken starter and it was absolutely beautiful. We will for sure return again in the up coming weeks and look forward to returning!

Met up with friends halfway. Had a booking at the beginning of lockdown and this was our first meeting. Restaurant all ready and prepared for safety.Reduced menu was ideal for lunch. Service was prompt and staff very friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the ambience of the restaurant..it was threatening rain so we were inside! The seating layout was excellent.We will be back!

First time out after Lockdown for a Birthday Lunch. They are wholly respecting the current constraints, I felt it took little or nothing away from the meal. A full age range, two young teenage boys, three adults. The staff and the Manager enhanced the meal experience for the adult birthday girl. There were a range of drinks and menu choices unavailable. I’m no great fan of pizza, but they really looked great, home made, thin pastry. The Sunday veggie roast was good, bit mean with the cauliflower cheese, but otherwise a grand fresh portion. The staff were very, very efficient and extremely helpful....impressive.

2nd visit here! Last time we came in the heat of summer and it's terrace is a lovely area to chill out for drinks!This visit was a friday night. Staff were very friendly and accommodating with covid safety measures in place. Perhaps bias but the food menu is my idea of heaven - who doesnt like halloumi chips and buttermilk korean chicken for starters!!We'll definitely be back!!

After 4 months lockdown was a treat going out. Great service tasty food - limited selection which I actually preferred. Katrina was very attentive and we really had a beautiful night yesterday x

Went there with a friend just after it reopened from lockdown. It felt really safe with lots of distance kept between us and other customers’ tables, and sanitising stations everywhere.The food was nice and the drinks were great. They were missing one or two ingredients from the things that we ordered, but I’d put this down to them only just being up and running again, and it wasn’t a problem for us.The staff were really helpful and attentive, and made us feel really looked after. Thank you to all of them for creating a really safe and relaxing post-lockdown dining experience, particularly our lovely waitress Katrina.

Came here straight from work. The place was not busy and we were greeted by the manager and said we would have a drink first at the bar. The service was good and friendly. We then sat in the conservatory area and it was very nice. There were a few more people in the which created a good atmosphere. The food was good and the manger came to see if we were happy. We were.

First Impressions, I was informed online that The Crown was open this morning, I visited to get a coffee and to have a look at how the alleged 3 Million had been spent, had to use the side door marked for ‘partners’, whatever that means? Was told that the pub was closed for another 30 minutes, so I had a quick look around . First impressions saddened me greatly, this is a lesson on how to ruin a country pub. What do I mean? The design theme is exactly what you would expect from a city centre refurbished hotel lobby, in my brief review there is of course no connection to the pubs history. This includes the fact that the new staff had no idea that I had been a customer of this pub for 37 years (a local) because the new management remove all bar one of the original greatly valued staff, well done. The only reason there is any sign of the character of the previous pub, is because it is a listed building. This refurb is pretentious and out of place, but will be great for group selfies. Boo hoo,, another great pub bites the dust.

great working class no nonsense pub (with pool tables and super cheap beer), go there before it gets refurbished (ie gentrified)

Yeah cant fault the place. Has a great selection of beers on tap. Super friendly staff. Admit that the internal decor needs some attention, but see beyond this and this is a great little boozer
