    Cosy pub which does a lovely Sunday roast. The meat and vegetables were cooked perfectly and they brought us out extra gravy. Service was very friendly and efficient, and they kindly accommodated us arriving nearly an hour early for our booking.

    Two of us had the pie of the day off the Senior Lunch Menu. It was a large portion packed with chicken, gammon and leek. The other person had the Buffalo Mozarella, Basil Pesto, Rocket & Tomato Ciabatta, also a large portion. We would normally have had a pudding but were too full. Very good service and a nice, relaxing atmosphere.

    Absolutely wonderful food and service. TBH we were a little dubious when arriving, now under new management, have visited the King and Queen many times over years having lived locally. Best meal out we have had meal out in a long while, quality food. Liver and Bacon was out of this world, steak was surberb, snitzel fantastic. Catered for our 4 year old with a number of choices. Thanks KQ We moved away but will still come back !! Fantastic food.
