We booked a weekend away with our dog having read reviews from others about the King John Inn. It was outstanding in every respect. Dogs are very welcome, Wilfie our furry boy had a great time. Our room (7) was lovely, clean and felt like our own little apartment. The drink selection was excellent at the bar, the food absolutely superb. Our evening meals were great, but for me it was the breakfasts that stood out. Best sausage ever according to my wife. And she knows her sausages! All the staff were excellent, especially Sam who was working on Friday evening, great service and very welcoming. We look forward to returning!

Great supper with friends at the King John Inn. The menu was very good with something for everyone and a strong range of beers and wines to accompany. The star of the show was Jules who managed to remain charming, efficient and attentive despite being very short on colleagues on a busy Saturday night service. Very impressive young man. Thanks Jules!

We had a great meal at the KJ last night. The food was excellent, but what really stood out was the hard work and dedication of Jules, our waiter, who seemed to be running the place single handedly. He was superb, trying his best, friendly, appreciable and detailed in dealing with our requests. Most impressive! Good beer too!

We visited for lunch on Mother’s Day. I was especially impressed with the attentiveness of the staff. The food itself was delicious. The venue is cosy, comfortable and smartly designed. They definitely need more car parking spaces but overall we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and thought the choice of food, and kids menu too, was perfect.

We had another wonderful lunch at the King John Inn. Top notch service from Jules (thank you, Jules) and delicious food - particular praise for the Cornish mussels and the vegan ravioli (even from one non-vegan). Thank you all.

While house hunting we stopped in The King John Inn for a lunch. Whole place was very inviting and well set up. Friendly and quick service from Zoe and Andy was briliant and food was extremely tasty. I would also highly recommend to taste local beer!Overall experience is great and we are looking forward to dine here again!

Great birthday lunch with friends courteous, amiable and efficient professional service. Delicious food. Both Zac and Chef Ash will to go the extra mile to make our visit outstanding.
We visited the King John on Wednesday.We received a warm welcome.Service was ok , the restaurant was busy so allowance needed to be made.Our food was o.k. Starters were well priced and tasty.My wife had risotto which was bland. My steak was ok .Sweet arrived with no ice cream. As stated on menu. It was pointed out, the waiter was unsure as to weather it should have been? On checking it was brought out.Average prices, a 12.5% surcharge. All normal stuff.Car park is poorly lit and on a busy night the parking was insufficient .

Excellent experience for a Sunday roast. We contacted the King John Inn one day before to book and let the team know that one of our party was vegan. We were informed that there was a vegetable wellington on the menu with a couple of traditional sides unavailable for a vegan diet. When we arrived, Jules was friendly and efficient - he informed us that, having given notice of our vegan guest, Chef had adapted the sides for a vegan diet. The meal was superb. I must congratulate Jules on some great customer service.
