"Keeping up its usual excellent standard"

Summary review by KR

Visited the newly reopened Kingarth for lunch with a friend and was pleasantly surprised by the makeover giving the place a brighter, fresher feel. We were greeted pleasantly and found the last unreserved table. The menu was limited to a selection of Kingarth favourites - it was explained that this was due to ramping up slowly with new staff to ensure quality, and that a fuller menu with daily specials will resume once fully up to speed a little later in the year. That was fine by us as there were several tasty dishes we could choose from. The main thing is that the quality of the food was just as I remembered (excellent), however it was clear that one or two additional staff members are still required to keep things running smoothly as most of service seemed to fall to just one lady, and whilst she dealt with everything politely and quickly it seemed she was struggling at times. We'll be back in the next couple of weeks as Kingarth really is our local pub despite being about 6 miles away! We know they are advertising for more staff as we've seen the ads locally, and guess they are fighting the same battles as many other hospitality businesses at the moment. Please give them your support, but book ahead to avoid disappointment.
