Best food for you and family
Beautiful surroundings, great food and ambience.
We just visited for a meal so cannot comment on the rooms. A lovely location with a traditional pub feel inside. Friendly staff and the food is good and wholesome.

Great place, very welcoming, good choice of beer (2 different cask ales on draught), food well made, delicious (check the daily specials board), generous but not ridiculous portions, very nice desserts. Staff really accommodating, professional and a good laugh

Fantastic afternoon up at Kingarth, enjoying the sunshine and watching the world go by whilst consuming some excellent Moretti and a few G&Ts … other beverages are available and of course let's not forget the excellent food that is always served with a smile by Maria, and her friendly and attentive staff.
