The King Queen Pub - Carta

Came for Pizza night which was really good. The restaurant also had loads of Italian customers giving it an authentic feel. We were really impressed by the quality of the pizza and desserts. Friendly service too. We’ll be back.

This is definitely not the sailors pub which I fondly remembered and had a lot of good times at. It’s now a sanatised table seated restaurant which is not for yacht crews coming off the boats after a Sundays racing. More for a romantic meal than crews wanting a few beers and Sunday lunch warning by the fire after the Winter Series.

We stumbled across the King and Queen when pootling around the lanes of Bursledon and the Hamble recently on our way to the New Forest. We were looking for coffee but realising we were nearer to lunch and seeing the menu we chose the Sailor's sharing platter which was delicious and really kicked off our short break perfectly. We had our lovely old collie with us who got a lot of attention. The staff were so friendly and the outside canopies and planting felt like a secret garden, a real gem! Ver carta

Lovely place, nice atmosphere, fairly pricey drinks and a bit of a strange interaction with a server. We stopped in for a quick drink. Seated and served drinks at the table. As we were nearly finished a member of staff asked if we’d like anything else, we said just the bill please. We’d had a pint of beer and a soft drink. Without looking at the bill, my partner handed over a £20 note and was asked “do you want any change?” He asked how much was the bill, “£10” came the reply. He said “I gave you £20, so yes I do.” Quite bizarre. As we left, the candles were lit on the dinner tables and there was a lovely atmosphere on the top floor will definitely return to try out the food.

Having lived in Hamble and the surrounding areas for a long time it was sad to see what was once a great pub become hostile and unfamiliar. Upon arrival we were met by a chap who had no interest in making us feel welcome after learning we didn’t have a booking, seemed he didn’t want us to come in and have another table to serve clear. Apparently they were fully booked (garden was empty) and so we chose to just have drinks. We had roughly 4 over the space of 1 1 2 hours. In which time only 3 tables became occupied. We could have eaten and spent more money. The young servers were lovely, sadly the older chap who first greeted us spoiled our visit. Won’t be back in a hurry unless the “bouncer”...

Had visited two days previous in the evening on a very busy Saturday after being shown inside as outside all the tables were full, the young man from front of house said if a table became free he would move us outside. We had not booked a table as this wasn’t our original pub to eat at. The ambiance was lovely the staff friendly the food was delicious. On this I booked again to take my mother this time a rang up booking the table the man said it was his birthday on the day I was booking so I bought home a birthday card which he was delighted with. My aging mother 89 yrs thought all the staff were exceptional and very attentive, the atmosphere was like a big happy family. Have already planned... Ver carta

The staff are very friendly and the restaurant is situated in a lovely area in just one minute from the restaurant, you’ll find all of the lovely boats in the Marina. The food is to a very good standard and had lots of flavour: very tasty! The steak was lovely as was the chicken shawarma with nice salad, a good pitta bread, and lovely, good quality, seasoned chicken. The halloumi fries were the best! Definitely recommend these: so fresh, juicy, and tasty! However the jacket potato with chilli (only available at lunch time) was not much to get excited about, the chilli was not great and it felt a rip off at over £9!! Nothing was even served alongside it, definitely avoid that! The bill was qu...

Tiger prawns over priced and tiny portion. I hate to complain because I know how hard it is working in the chef industry, but I got 1 prawn with less then a handful of chips, the rest of the plate was filled with a whole lemon cut in half and grilled and rocket that was dry with no proper dressing just drizzled with a bit of balsamic (it's nice to have a slice of lemon but not a whole one, it just fills the plate making it look like a bigger dinner but you can't eat it) I was absolutely starving after, the kids had more food on their plate then I did and I ended up finishing all of theirs I was so hungry. It was just under £20 for my meal expensive for something that was starter size after t...

I did not want to write a Tripadvisor review before firstly emailing the establishment to tell them of my experience at the King and Queen in Hamble, as I wanted to give them the chance to reply etc with what may have gone wrong for us. They did not reply. We had booked for the Sunday roast and pre-ordered beforehand. My husband and I picked the tomahawk steak roast For 2 people to share. The girl placed it down on the table, after us waiting a while for it to be cooked , which was fine. There was 1 roast potato and 4 balls of stuffing (paxo type) . The girl then bought over 2 small cold side plates and I asked her to bring larger plates , she did and they were cold so I asked for them to be... Ver carta
