The King's Mead in East Hertfordshire

Shocking! Sorry to say but this place is better avoided. Our meal turned up with raw leek and pak choi that genuinely appeared to have been almost cremated. It literally crumbled into flakes like an autumn leaf when you touched it. The other veg was just limp as had been boiled to death. Manager laughed when we pointed out the state of the veg and I had to agree it was laughable. Portion size was also way smaller than standard pub grub and not reflected in price. Got a full refund and left. Total abuse of our precious time. Avoid at all costs!

Had a lovely Sunday lunch with the family would recommend.... excellent foodStaff helpful and friendly. When next visiting my daughter and her family in Hertford we will definitely be having lunch there again.

Sunday lunch with the kids. Service is attentive and helpful, they were quick and substituted things on request.They also have a good selection of non alcoholic beers, wine and mocktails.The roast beef lunch was ok. Beef - excellent, nice and rare in the middle. The Yorkshire was big but overcooked and very dry. The potatoes tasted good but didn't have the crisp and crunchy casing you'd want. The horseradish sauce had too much mayonnaise and not enough punch.Disappointing that the desert appeared a long time after the coffee, even though the menu explicitly has the "coffee and mini desert" option! Sigh. When it did arrive, the creme brulee was perfectly fine, and the ice cream tasty.There's some provision for children here, with a menu and some colouring, but no children's cutlery and the child size ice cream is the same size as the adult!

We popped on for lunch on Monday after viewing a house in the local area. This pub was a lovely extra tick as to why we want to live in Ware.The lady that served us was great and credit to the pub! Can't wait for our next visit!

Booked us in for a table of 6 at late notice on a Saturday night after we had been let down by a nearby restaurant. The food was excellent and our waitress was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely eat here again.

Very disappointed this visit. Sunday lunch was Luke warm. Yorkshire puddings as flat as pancakes. Asked for 2 desserts from the menu and they had neither. Definitely won’t rush back!

My wife & I have enjoyed going for a meal here since it opened. We use it to mark special occasions in our time together. As always: food excellent (always served well presented and hot); nice surroundings and excellent, friendly service.

Exceptional friendly service, homely atmosphere. The wild mushroom & leek chicken supreme was done beautifully, very flavoursome. The traditional fish & chips were lovely the batter done well, except the fish a bit dry in the middle. Will be back.

Very classy pub. Good food, great service, would definitely recommend. Will be visiting again and again.

Arrived early as we had young children and it was empty, but by 7:30 every seat was taken, inside the pub as well as the garden area, weren't rushed by the staff because we children, a relaxing visit, as to be expected the prices had been raised, and the portions weren't as generous previous visits. Overall a worthwhile visit
