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.

Not professional at all. The waitress is more busy laughing with the comings and goings of her friends/family at the table, given the many hugs. Very noisy and not professional at all. These same people come and go and don't push the door, we are in the middle of a draft. It’s 1:39 p.m. the restaurant has just opened. We order a Royal couscous but we can only have the lamb couscous because there are no other meats. The couscous is dry, flavorless, lacks spices, the vegetables are raw and the mint tea is disgusting. We asked for water, the waitress spent her time laughing over the 4 glasses of water! Worst Moroccan restaurant. I advise you not to

First time we have visited this place. Drove over an hour to meet family. Very awkward to find and park. Restaurant felt very tightly packed in with tables, and not much room to move. We were a party of 7 and the service was awful. Everything was very slow and we spent a lot of time waiting. We were never asked if we would like more drinks, if the food was ok. We had to constantly try to make eye contact with someone in order to try and get a drink, or order food. Some of the waiters were rude, and one had an attitude problem, making us feel uncomfortable. Once ordered they even forgot one of our parties food so we had to wait until they made it before we could start, meaning our food was getting cold. When it did come out there was no apology. The food was overpriced for what we recieved. The chicken was extremely dry, the steak over cooked. These dishes also don’t come with any accompaniments and if you want a bit of salad with your steak for example you have to order this as a separate dish. I can’t see how they can charge over £20 for just a chicken breast and chips. Drinks were also overpriced, and as in a previous review this place has a captive audience because of where it is.

After ordering we spent 40 minutes waiting for our appetisers and only 1 of 5 occupied tables actually getting food in that time. The waitress came over at the 40 minute point and wanted to confirm the order. At which point I got up and confirmed with the kitchen if they are now starting our order. To which I was told the chicken takes 30 minutes and it would be with us soon, while looking over their shoulder to see our appetisers hitting the grill. I then told them don't bother I want a refund. The pepsi tasted watered down and the place was cold with people keeping their outdoor jackets on. Given a full refund. My opinion from what I've seen here for a copycat Nando's is they are more interested in online takeaway orders that footfall through the door.

We bought two packets of biltong today in St albans market at £11 per packet firstly a pricey purchase but we tasted a sample and took these home to find them both hard and normal biltong basically not much taste or spice as we were promised and the chilli one again hard and a 2/10 chilli taste rating my advice would be to steer clear of this expensive brand should have stuck to the local Bok and Rose in How Wood shame really as was hoping for nice fresh tasty Biltong

I don’t normally even bother writing reviews if the food is bad but I genuinely have to write a review as I was sooo disappointed . The okra soup was not slimy at all , it looked like it was blended them poured into a bowl. The pounded yam was not good at all. The beef was soo hard , I honestly think it had been in the pot for too long and the meet tasted out of date. This is not me bashing you guys but please take this review as critism to improve . I’ve never been soo disappointed enough to write a review in my life considering the price of their food as well. However I will say that the lady was really lovely , I just think the food needs some improvement

The kitchen does not have the food on the menu. I came there weeks ago and was served with stale grilled fish and fried yam covered with sauce. Suffered from stomach upset afterwards. Disappointed 🙁

The food here is very good! The people are kind. The wait was a bit long for fast food, however the employees were kind enough to offer free food and drinks since we had been waiting for some time! Very fresh and a bit expensive, but overall nice food and even nicer people.

De Honourables in Gillingham is a great restaurant with great service. It is helpful to 'know' the food that one is ordering, as they serve mainly West African traditional food. But the quality of their dishes is really up to par with traditional West African quality!
