Kingsdown Inn

Jeez, it's much improved...the new management appreciate the loyalty of the regulars whilst also being aware they must encourage new footfall by increasing the interest/offer with new menus, decent wine prosecco glasses, wider opening and closing times for food, music sport on the telly, discos and bands 🙌

Booked for 9 people for a birthday lunch. We had three gluten free people in our party one of whom is also dairy free. Menu offered lots of variety for us all; although if they made the sausages GF too this would have been fantastic. However, food was delicious. Kitchen accommodated our late pudding order and we were amazed all the puddings seem home cooked. Kids were thrilled with their apple crumble (could the crumble be GF too please!) Staff were great. Fabulous pub with a lovely garden and super dog friendly too both in the pub and in the garden. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much Suzie and Neil.

Came here for a funeral wake. I have always found The Kingsdown a very nice pub. It's a big place with two bars and outside seating area. The buffet food served today was very tasty. I love food, so enjoyed it all, especially their home cooked style cheese and onion quiche😋 Had a nice drink of Thatchers cider to celebrate the passing of our friend. It is a very popular place to come to, but no the wrong side of the town to me, just to casually pop in, without having to drive. Well worth a visit to try out, lots of ales on draught to try.

Sadly I only ever frequent The Kingsdown for wakes, which I guess given its proximity to the crematorium is to be expected, but they seem to do them well. As a family we had a delightful afternoon celebrating the life of a family member. The service was sensitive and efficient which given we were a large group was impressive and the food lovely and catered well for the various needs. The risk being given we were such a large group we overran the place, hopefully not but if we did it was sensitively handled.
