I’ve been here a few times now. The food is amazing and fairly priced! The staff are amazing and so welcoming. This was my first time coming alone with just me and my dog and what a fantastic afternoon we’ve had, staff are amazing and of course everyone loves fussing over a dog! The waiter who brought me my food, kindly got my dog a bowl of water and some doggy treats so kind, thank you. This was the second time eating the salmon fillet for lunch however this time was a little over cooked.
Hate giving bad reviews but came here when pub was not even 1/3 full. Ordered chips and 2 drinks. Drinks took 30 minutes to arrive after asking where they were. Chips took 45 minutes which was a tiny portion, barely a handful for £3.29 is a rip off! I am usually quite empathetic when staff are busy and stressed but it was hardly a busy night so no excuse! Shan’t be coming here again.
I've visited this restaurant several times, and my experience has significantly improved since my last visit. A few months ago, I gave it a 2-star rating due to the extremely slow service, likely because of a staff shortage. However, during my today visit with my family, I was pleasantly surprised by the positive changes. The new staff were very attentive, friendly, and provided timely service throughout our meal. The food arrived promptly, and the overall dining experience was much smoother compared to before. The food itself was decent, not exceptional but certainly enjoyable. The only reason I'm not giving a full 5 stars is that the steaks were cooked a little too well for my taste. Otherwise, it's clear that the restaurant has made great strides in improving its service, and I'll be happy to return in the future.
Have been seeing the tomahawk on the menu for a while and decided to finally treat ourselves. The steak is a 32oz so we decided to share and have new potatoes, fries and a side salad and have 2 sauces the Argentinian and the Merlot & Beef Dripping. We are rare peopke and the steak was cooked perfectly and was absolutely gorgeous . Being a big steak we could not finish so we asked Becca manager if it could be wrapped up so we could take it home and there were no problems in doing so. If you haven't been to the King Rufus my question to you is why not?! It is a lovely pub, patrons are a good bunch and the staff are amazing group. Oh, and on a Sunday night, there is a fun quiz to
Our party of 6 had a very enjoyable evening at the King Rufus and were very well attended by Anna our assigned server for the evening. We took advantage of the great 2 mains and 2 drinks deal for £20. The food was freshly cooked, delicious and the portions generous....even the vegan option!. Large carpark which is free if you enter your car reg at reception
We visited without a booking for 5 adults and 2 children, and they were more than accommodating, even moving us when our 3 year old fell asleep so he could be laid down. Genie, who was serving us, was pleasant and attentive and made the afternoons visit very enjoyable. Food and drink were lovely and a fantastic time was has by all!Food: 5/5
Had breakfast on Sunday morning - food lovely and staff very welcoming and friendly. Very quiet on the morning we went but the pub has a lovely feel even with just a few customers. Will definitely be back.Food: 5/5
We’ve been here a few times & it’s usually ok, particularly if you have kids. Kids are all over the place in & out of garden so works if you’re relaxed about that. Visited yesterday evening & we’re very disappointed, mainly on the service or lack of. The table we asked to sit at wasn’t clean hadn’t yet been prepared I guess but when I asked a member of staff to clean it she didn’t seem happy, sprayed the spray everywhere & even the cloth hit me as she wiped the table in a aggressive way. The food took ages to come, I’d say 45 minutes could have been more & the place wasn’t that full. Food was pretty good, best part or I would have asked for refund/money off after the rest of the negative experience. Basically there seemed a lack of staff, not much service. Constantly having to get up & chase something. Food served, no cutlery etc plates weren’t collected, until a new member of staff brought out the kids pudding which again took ages for a scoop of ice cream & brownie & the pub which literally empty. Felt like the place wasn’t being managed, although a new staff member came in shift & seemed much more customer service based. Lastly we were then given the wrong bill. Mistakes happen, places get busy & people can be having a bad day, but everything put together & as a family of 4 spending £70 ish for a nice treat experience, i definitely won’t return. I will be contacting the manager today. Last visit I was accidentally given a meat burger instead of veggie.
The friendly team gave us a warm welcome and efficient service. The salmon fillet was excellent. The roast beef Sunday lunch was very good, some of the vegetables were undercooked but this was not a significant issue. The cauliflower cheese was sublime.Food: 4/5
Lovely service from start to finish - Genie was efficient and attentive, even joined in on the jokes we were cracking about 'dry' apple pie. Food was delicious. Will definitely come again for family meals out.Food: 5/5
