Did not stay just went for lunch and a very good lunch it was too. Maybe a little pricey and noisy but quite excellent. Lovely asparagus and chicken such as we have not had for many years. Good wine too. Pleasant atmosphere and staff. Worth a big detour.

This was our second visit and I know we shall return. The food was wonderful, the wine very good and the staff excellent. Lovely room with comfortable bed and good linen and a proper bathroom with space.

We stayed in Tollard Royal for a riding weekend and used the pub 3 times. Its more of a restaurant than a pub - when going for a pint at 5.30pm there was nowhere to sit apart from tables laid for the evenings bookings. Two pints of lager was £9.80. Some staff were lovely and others downright snooty and rude.... More

Have just spent a glorious weekend at the King John Inn in beautiful Tollard Royal. The pub itself is very stylish and our room elegant. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating and the food was superb. The walks around the local area are stunning. We came across the King John after being unable to book in at another...

Over the years the King John has been a firm family favourite. The pub itself is gorgeous, as is the food. My brother always has the cheese souffle which is definitely one of the best we've ever tried. This occasion we all had steaks which were cooked to perfection. All the produce is sourced locally, and its a nice touch... More

Have visited the King John several times and have always had a very good experience. It creates a perfect balance between a friendly country pub and a high end dining experience. Great staff and fantastic menu, stylish design with a real feeling of comfort and quality.

I've been here many times and have never been disappointed. I have found the food and service totally dependable and recommend lunchtimes especially as it tends to be much quiter (except Sundays!) We had the fish and chips yet again and it's the best either of us have had. Coming here is noticeably more expensive than an average pub, and... More

Lovely pub/restaurant. Very attentive staff good atmosphere. When I looked at the menu I was disappointed by the choice, however, the food was excellent and none of the dishes diss appointed. I had the cheese soufflé which was very good and I would come back here just for the toffee apple donuts which were unbelievable.

A cold, wet & foggy evening but the King John as full and lively as ever. It's a favorite of ours that we tend to visit 3 or 4 times a year for dinner or a drink at the end of the day. Welcoming, animal friendly, good selection of beers and wine and very popular with both locals, many couples... More

Arrived on a cold winters night, to an almost empty establishment. Waitresses very welcoming and took time to explain items on the menu. Food was acceptable but our party thought a bit over priced compared to other venues in the area.
