    First time visit to The Bishop. Was lured in by the 193rd app drink offer, and also needed a good space to work during the afternoon. Very much enjoyed the visit. Atmosphere great, friendly staff, socket to plug laptop into so can work, WiFi and generally a chilled place! Tucked into a fantastic lemon drizzle cake - was mmmmm yum.. Look forward to returning. Great cause #DOGSFORGOOD !

    Had a great time here for lunch on a Sunday. The service was great, although more check-ins are required! The waitress was super friendly, but we waited a while to get the bill or ask for something. I was disappointed that the vegan roast was not available, so I chose the plant burger. The presentation was good, fries were great and overall everything was very fresh and well presented. The decor is really good and the atmosphere was very friendly and filled with families, groups of friends etc. Great vibe.

    I came here after Hampton Court Palace half - so was appropriately hungry, and knackered! Bianca was our server, she was really attentive, friendly & a lovely presence in the pub. We had the roasts: one chicken, one vegan - very tasty, although we would have liked a bit more gravy! Had a lovely time all in all and that is down to how welcome Bianca made us feel. Thank you!

    ⭐️⭐️ We called ahead to check on the Sunday roast options and were told there were plenty of beef roasts, along with some duck, but no chicken or pork. We said we'd arrive in 15 minutes but actually got there in 5. Upon arrival, we were told there was only one beef roast left, so my friend had to settle for the chicken, despite being told there were none earlier. The beef roast I ordered was extremely chewy, almost like eating a boot. I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt since we arrived around 5pm, but the portion sizes were also quite disappointing. We each received just one…

    Bianca was our server and she gave 5* service. We really felt looked after and she cared that we had a good experience. The food was delicious and the vegan burger was very tasty. We all loved the curried parsnip soup to start and the best vegan salted caramel ice cream with honeycomb for dessert. Will definitely be back when next in Kingston.
