Stopped at the King and Queen for drinks on a visit to Hamble, but very confused about what the venue is. Is it a pub or a restaurant? Lovely ambience inside, however it seems like they are still stuck in Covid rules and are too scared to move back to reality post Covid. As soon as you enter you are ‘pounced’ upon by staff to seat you even if you just want drinks. The table service only means you are unable to approach the bar which when looking for real ales can sometimes be difficult as you want to be able to see what is on offer. By removing all of the paraphernalia in front of the bar and re instating some bar stools the place would benefit from having a ‘Rum Pub’ atmosphere as it is misleading as to what it is. Great choice of rum, but severely missing pub bit. Toilets are in an awful state and definitely need some money spent on them to bring them up to an acceptable standard Grate shame it could be a fantastic ‘Rum Pub’ and live up to its name.
