About The King's Tun
On Clarence St in Kingston Upon Thames, within the shopping centre, The King's Tun is a pub spread across multiple floors with an upstairs seating area. The layout is big and spacious, with plenty of seating without feeling crowded. A marble-topped bar anchors the room, alongside a coffee and condiment station in the dining area. The menu runs from fish and chips to the Cheese Meltdown burger, and real ales are on offer at the bar. It operates on a walk-in basis, with food and drinks typically arriving quickly after ordering. Music runs in the evenings.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to the sheer size of the pub, a massive space with a second floor and plenty of seating that never feels cramped or over-crowded. Close behind is the value and speed of the food and drink. One reviewer had the Cheese Meltdown burgers with coffee, another praises the fish and chips as a classic, and a third rates the breakfast as extremely well priced. Several describe food arriving quickly, and a few mention a good choice of beers. Staff are called pleasant, helpful and polite, and tables are described as cleared quickly and kept spotless even when busy. One reviewer notes the building has few windows and is a bit low on natural light, though not gloomy. One reviewer gives a very different account, reporting that a manager accused them of being sick in the toilets, declined to check the CCTV, asked them to leave, and kept payment for an order that never arrived. Others close on the coffee and condiment station being well stocked, with a reviewer noting managers working on the floor.

“Massive pub in the heart of Kingston shopping centre. You see how big it is when you walk in and then realise there is another floor upstairs. Great prices and good choice of beers.”

“Great food and great service. It's a Wetherspoons's after all and this is their bread and butter, reasonably priced obviously too, even for Kingston. They really know how to get the best out of a building, having tons of seating without it ever seeming stifling or over-crowded. A British Institution now.”

“Amazing spoons. It’s one of my go to spoons. Food and drinks here are served pretty quickly and taste really good. I’m a big fan of this one as it’s one of the bigger ones I’ve been to even having an upstairs.”
