We had a booking for a party of seven. One of our party is a vegan with severe dairy and nut allergies. Another one of our party also has a restricted diet. The menu and staff are great at handling dietary and allergy requirements. The kids menu is brilliant and the food and service were sublime. When one of our party explained she couldn’t eat the peas that came with the gammon, the kitchen gave her an extra egg instead! When our vegan with the dairy allergy ordered the apple and cherry crumble, the staff substituted the custard it comes with for cherry compote! All this without us asking, which was great customer service. Two of our party were from America and visiting the UK for the first time. They loved the food and the dining experience. The air conditioning was also an unexpected bonus during the heatwave. Thanks for making our visit and meal an excellent experience.

Beth was amazing and very patient with us! Really enjoyed the atmosphere. There is a very good improvement at the Saxon King.

Beth, our server, was superb! Polite, efficient and really accommodating. Food was great, atmosphere was slightly lacking, but we were visiting on a Wednesday night, so no fault of the venue. Thanks Beth, you couldn't have done a better job! x

Absolutely lovely evening here with my husband. Enjoyed the best pie ever and will be coming back for that again.

Amazing food and amazing service, super friendly and attentive, atmosphere was great! Our host was Sarah, we highly recommend the Camembert which has just been added to the menu, it was bigger than the both of us put together!

I really wish I could give the service 10 stars instead of five. Vicky and Holly really made our meal absolutely incredible! Their service was exemplary and they really made us feel welcome and looked after. Vicky even took this picture while standing on a chair to make sure everybody got in. I would come back here just to receive the same service when Vicky and Holly

We had the pleasure of being served by Vicky at The Saxon King, and she made our visit truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, she greeted us with a warm smile and friendly demeanor, instantly making us feel welcome. Her attentiveness throughout our meal was outstanding—she made sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Vicky's knowledge of the menu and recommendations were spot on, and her cheerful attitude added to the overall great atmosphere of the evening. Thank you, Vicky, for such excellent service! We’ll definitely be back."

A very large group of us were accomodated for a special birthday evening meal on a Friday. Although they were busy, the service was good and the food was surprisingly good. Furthermore, the price per person was very reasonable. I'd definitely go there again.
