Kinghams - Guildford

We booked the restaurant for a family dinner after the high time of my sohnes. the service, support and memory of the whole event was exceptional, including the device of some high-time decoration. they have even prepared some menu items for the vegetarian! highly recommended for the location, the ambiente. and the customer services of the charming chris and personal.

We were ushered through the restaurant out to a gazebo like extension on the side of the restaurant. it was just the restaurant being greedy and adding more table, freezing cold with a fan which was trying to warm the place up but blew...more cold air onto you before it warmed up, horrendous experience. Food was scarce edible , but not a lot of it and having to fill up on potatoes and veg. Trying to be a nouveau cuisine restaurant and not making it!! Horrendously expensive at per couple and feeling like you need a Mcdonalds on the way home as you are so hungary!!! Never again!

Very good service and definitely worth a visit. Celeriac We started with the celeriac labneh and dukkah which was very nice. Very earthy and deep powerful flavours in the dukkah complimenting the celeriac. The labneh was silky and fresh. Squid The broth from...the squid was very nice, lite and a full depth of flavour. Our next dishes… Pigeon Kiev the pigeon breast was cooked well, soft and flavoursome. There was a hint of black garlic coming through but not over powering. The crumb let it down as it was just over done and had a strong flavour of oil coming through which overpowered the dish. Scallops the scallops were scallops. However they were over done and the oil they were in was too much. We could not make out what the dish was as it lacked flavour and for us it just did not work. Fillet of beef beautifully cooked and a very good cut. Exactly how fillet should be. The croquette was powerful, the jus silky and powerful also. A good dish however we were both looking forward to the venison which was not on the restaurant menu but on the online menu. Dessert the apple and blackberry crumble was nice but really just a simple crumble (not tart). Sweet and silky fruits with a crumble topping sprinkled on top. The cheese board was as you would expect. The portions were about right if you were to have each course as the menu is designed to offer. For us the food just did not wow, and was rather average. At the prices charged (high end close to Michelin) I expected more. There was not a single dish that wowed us. We were seated in the gazebo area of the restaurant. It was hot and cold as they had a blast heater which was timed to occasionally blast heat into the room which made it rather hot and then the room quickly cooled down however this did not really bother us. Unfortunately the room we were sat in lacked ambiance and left us feeling a little uncomfortable at times with the two other tables in there. Our table was also rather small. The service was very good. Well done! Balanced and timings very good. We felt looked after. I would suggest you DO try this restaurant but for us, we now have and probably would not return based on the value for money and comparing to other restaurants with a similar price point and offering.

We enjoyed a very relaxed lunch at this cozy and picturesque place with attentive and friendly service. the menu included a good selection of dishes with fresh and seasonal products. every cure was a knock, I was particularly impressed by the lamb that was wrapped in rabbits. However, the steak stole the show, perhaps the best boiled filet I have eaten, accompanied by an amazing bark croquette. the wine list was also impressive with a selection that corresponds to each preferential or price point, including a selection of desert wines. I am not the biggest weinbuffe, but was recommended to accompany a fruity and velvety red that perfectly accompanies my selection of diners. I'll be back soon.

This restaurant has it spot on! Four courses of excellence with a well balanced wine list. The service is outstanding. This is probably my new favourite restaurant. Thank you again
