King & Queen East Malling

WELCOME

So it looks like winter’s decided to crawl back under its rock and let the sun have a go. Now it’s not quite shorts weather yet, but it certainly feels warmer and that’s just good for society. So the message remains – there’s only one sensible thing to do — head to The King & Queen, grab a pint, order some food and warm your cockles by the real fire (we’ll still have it on for those chilly evenings).

We’re a proper English village pub: think good honest food with a gastro twist, good company, and no nonsense service with a smile — just the way it should be. The pub, us and our team has been through a lot over the last few years – pandemic, wars, stupidly expensive utility bills, more wars, national minimum wage hikes, NIC hikes, unrealistic business rates rises, and a labour government which seem hell-bent on destroying the pub industry. But, i’ll say it again – we love what we do and it’s all to keep this asset, your local, alive and kicking.

But here’s the brutal reality: if you don’t use your local, you’ll lose it. It’s that simple.

“So head to the KQ tonight, or tomorrow, or both. Grab a pint, tuck into the new menu, or don’t. Try a proper Sunday roast at the weekend or have a steak rare. Have a chat with someone unexpected, have a whisky chaser, have two! Thank the staff, tip well, and take your time — life’s too short not to. Your local pub is alive because of you. Keep it that way.”

Join us for the quiz on the second Thursday of every month, or get your toes tapping at live music usually on the last Saturday. Every visit, every drink, every cheer keeps the spirit of The King & Queen burning bright.

Don’t let the lights go out on your local — come and make some memories instead.

Hope to see you all very soon.

Kim & Steve
