Excellent staff, very tasty pie, in a warm environment. Plenty of parking and good ales.

Booked for a Sunday dinner with no problems. Nice "proper" pub. It was nice to see lamb on the menu so that was our choice of mains.
Unusual not to find any mashed potato on the plate but it didn't distract from the rest of the offerings.
Generous portions of lamb. Piping hot roasties too. Vegetables were served separately and were just the right texture nice and firm not some stewed offerings.
Good to see that despite gravy already being poured onto the plate a separate gravy boat was placed on the table too.
The apple and pear dessert was good too served with really sweet custard.
Had a couple of pints of ale to go along with it but thought that choices were limited. Seemed a decent choice of lagers though. Same to with spirits and wines they seemed plentiful.
Service was good.Friendly and efficient.

Food was lovely with generous portions. Really accommodating as we were a large group and noone had a bad meal.
Service was friendly and pub was inviting. Have been before and will be back.
Thoroughly recommend.

Expensive, very slow service, rammed to the rafters with customers. My husband and I took my father to this pub as he lives locally, none of us have been here before. We arrived at exactly 6pm when our table was booked for and were promptly seated. We ordered our food at about 6:10pm and did not receive said food until nearly 7pm. The service was extremely slow, when the staff came to ask us if we would like more drinks, there was no form of apology until I asked where our food was. Said drinks were charged for, not in way of apology btw. When the food did come it was OK, nothing to write home about. We had fish and chips and pork crackling and veg. I've paid less recently for a lot better fish and chips. The pub is also very short of space, too many tables and chairs in such a small space. In all a poor experience.

Booked here based on reviews on trip advisor for area. Nice family pub good portions and cosy atmosphere with real fire. After bit of wait for dinners. We had roast turkey and roast pork with crumble and sticky toffee. Reasonable priced and good value for Ely area.

It was alright, nothing particularly wrong but also not great. Had much better from other "Gastro Pubs". Not sure oven chips can have the moniker Gastro attached to them...

Popped back and the first thing that hits you is it really smells ! A musty and fishy unpleasant smell. Had a pint when the barman eventually served me after prioritising a phone call. Paid London prices and moved on.

Looks great outside but really nothing special on the inside...

What an absolute gem of a place. We had 3 courses from the A'La Carte menu and it was truly amazing. Calamari and prawn starters were generous , hot and beautifully presented. The pork and lamb mains were high end restaurant quality. Booked to go again in 2 weeks time.

Three Kings in Haddenham, is a quaint pub.

On my first visit, I brought my grandson for some hot chocolate and a snack after playing in a nearby playground.

The atmosphere is charming, cozy and the staff was attentive. I only ordered a beverage, shared chips and chicken nuggets.

My second visit this time with my granddaughter, we arrived at 330 pm, were promptly greeted and advised to choose where we'd like to sit.

We chose a linen clothed table at the window seen in the photo, where it was quitter then then the rest of the pub.

After a long wait, the wait staff asked us to choose another table, as the linen clothed tables were for dinner guests.

This request didn't leave me feeling like a valued guests, while other guests were seated at the next table in the same area, only without the linen table clothes.

This time I chose the crispy calamari as a starter, lasagna and garlic bread.
I spent approximately 39GBP apparently not worthy of being a satisfied patron.

The calamari doesn't match the description on the menu. It wasn't crispy, instead had a spongy sort of breading, was tasteless and one bite into it, nearly had me gagging. The inside of the breaded disaster looked like imitation meat, was rubbery and gross.

The garlic bread was toasted, smelled good, however, one bit into it and all I could taste was oil used in browning it.

Lasagna, arrived in it's own cute ceramic dish. Sadly, it was swimming in it's own oil

I was looking forward to a warm meal, expecting a creamy, cheesy mouthful of delight. Only, it was over cooked, causing it to be served sitting in it's own oil.
I tried the lasagna, calamari and garlic bread and don't recommend it. My grand children had chips, nuggets and hot chocolate. They fared better. I'd asked the wait staff early on about dessert menu, she never checked back on that, as she was occuped with dinner guest concerns.
My order wound up being packed up to take home.

When asked about the dining experience, the wait staff didn't make any offers to provide any other meal choice, take it off my bill or offer a good will gesture such sending a dessert home.

Apparently, my comfort, experience and satisfaction at Three Kings wasn't of value to the wait staff.

Kind regards,
