The Kensington Arms – or The Kenny as it’s more popularly known – has long been a hot spot for South West foodies. We don’t claim to be anything flash and fancy, just a proper British local with amazing food.
Superb! Great service and truly amazing food.
Had veggie roast today on our 2nd visit. Overall food very good. Feels slightly steep re price, paying nearly £90 for a main, dessert, and 1 drink each for two people. Service friendly though took a while for orders to be taken. Dog friendly which is a good plus. Veg and meat roasts here are same price which is not something we are used to as veg options generally cheaper elsewhere. The veg roast itself was very tasty, really enjoyed, however the serving size is on the small side, so you are wishing for more.
The chef certainly is up and coming with good presentation and an array of delicate flavours that gently arouse the taste buds. Nice range of beers and selection of wines. Great place to eat and popularity of this place puts this firmly as one of the places to try. .
It’s twice now I’ve been disappointed by The Kenny. We had the rarebit to start and although the flavours complimented each other, the bread base was very stale. The main was also a huge disappointment as it was severed in a large plate which just highlighted the small portions; I ordered the medium rare rump and I was only served two very thin and chewy slices. We also ordered the brownie for desert and we were served the corner which is usually our favourite part but it was burnt to the point it was black and parts were solid. It is safe to say we will not be coming back. We also paid £30 ahead of the reservation. It also isn’t baby/toddler friendly as it’s all a bit tight and no space for a highchair.
Aaaaamazing Sunday Roast, it is not a cheap option but it is totally worth it! I went with my family and everyone said how good everything was. For the SR, It is a bit different, they had a menu: 2 courses £25 or 3 courses £31. The pork belly was insane!!! Very very good!! Crispy and juicy! The veggies were delicious. My parents ordered fish and they weren't less happy, they loved it too. We also ordered a bottle of white wine (this was nothing especial, I must say) Desserts were also delicious. Our main waiter (an English lad who spoke very good Spanish ;) couldn't be more efficient and nicer! I'd highly recommend this place! I thought I am going to start posting a photo of the toilet (a friend of mine used to say...how you see the restaurant's toilet is how you can expect the kitchen to be!! in this case? Very clean!)
