Restaurants near Kingsmead Shopping Centre

Attended the evening of Thursday 13 February 2025. Nice surroundings. Taken straight to our table. Plenty of waiters. Unfortunately our waiter, while adequate, wasn’t as attentive as we noticed others were. We waited approximately 25 minutes between the starter and the main which we thought was a little excessive. An optional side was not delivered with the main and had to be re-asked for. Food was excellent, not budget but worth the overall cost. Service charge included in the bill and was not questioned, because despite the above minor negative points, was happy with the overall experience and will eat there again.

We live locally. This is the first time we've eaten at The Rose & Crown. This was a last-minute booking, so we felt lucky to get a table. We received excellent service and delicious food that was such good value. We will definitely be back again and already look forward to trying something else on the menu.

No reply when I tried to book a table via telephone. The sandwiches were fridge cold, a few degrees warmer would have made them more pleasant, although they were very fresh. The cakes were delicious. The tea was lovely and hot. The waitress was very pleasant and efficient.

My fiancé and I had a lovely roast dinner at the Squirrel Pub in Farnborough on Sunday! Plenty of meat and potatoes, Yorkshire was cooked perfectly and lots of gravy! We gave it a good 7/10, lost points because the beef was chewy and the portion of veg was tiny! Bonus though is you can ask for more potatoes, gravy and Yorkshire’s for free! I personally would have preferred more veg. It was good value for money and a nice atmosphere even with the footy on! Would definitely come again.

Fantastic family meal. The food was tasty, well presented and cooked well. The staff we so friendly and went out of their way to help. It really was refreshing to see such high standards in staff. Thanks and a huge well done to your team!
