Wonderful place to have a family meal. Despite there being TV's with sports on it, it's not your usual "sports bar". It's family friendly and the food is spectacular. I photographed the plates of food before and after, completely empty, says it all.
The staff are very friendly and not scarce in numbers. Easily identifiable and happy to help. I've never experienced a huge wait at the bar for a drink, even on a Saturday, early afternoon. The food service isn't the fastest at peek times. However, I'd expect a minimal wait of 40 mins after order taken. Considering how busy the place was, the time past quickly and I don't think we waited that long. There were seven of us and our food was brought to the table with good timing so we could eat together. After finishing the meal I could see why so many people were happy to wait a little for the food. It's often busy, therefore popular.
There are several types of seating, booths, tables with chairs, bar stools, high tables to stand at and more. I think this attracts a wider variety of customers. It accommodates a broader range of customers age range, I saw families with small children all the way to the elderly, on their own or with a few friends. There also included a few groups of people in their (20's?) socialising and appearing to be enjoying themselves.
There is outdoor seating at the front and back of Seven kings. The front is a great sun trap, on the corner. The outdoor seating at the back is much smaller in size and doesn't get the sun, it's a sheltered veranda. On a hot day it's rather nice to sit out there after a meal and cool off with the metal seating. It's a smoking area with ashtrays provided. I can't say for certain if the front outdoor seating is smoker friendly, there's far more seating for people eating out the front.
In my opinion Seven kings isn't pricey, or inexpensive, mid range, depending on your budget? Also depending on what you order, I'd say it's certainly good value for money, considering the portion sizes. Even the children's menu has generous portions, probably suit some adults?
Seven kings has an excellent service. The food was delicious, hot, worth the wait and I'd certainly recommend. I have returned myself. Clean and tidy premises. They cater for a wide range of customers. Even suitable for children, aged 5! Which I wouldn't have expected.
There is disabled access and also disabled toilet facilities. There are high chairs available. There are steps into the premises via the bank entrance, although I doubt many people enter that way as ther front entrance is on the main street. From what I gather most people using the small verandah at the back to pop out to get a cigarette. There are probably only 3 or 4 tables out the back. I've not saw anyone eat out there, that's not to say you can't though.
You can go eat or enjoy a coffee, drink, pint and sit outside or inside and watch sports or catch up with friends/ family. There's Pittencrieff park right by, if you fancy a stretch of your legs after a meal in Seven kings, it's a great place to take a walk to. There is also more than one play park in Pittencrieff, age appropriate if there's children. However, the park has big grassy fields, so you can be far from the parks and get peace sitting on a...
Read moreWe have been coming to Seven Kings in Dunfermline for a number of years now. It was always great for food and drinks and a great place to take the kids as there is a separate family area which offered a great selection of foods and also a kids menu. However for my daughter's 8th birthday, she asked to go to the Seven Kings for dinner which we did. Once seated we noticed that the kids menu was greatly reduced to 3 options of food what seemed like had been taken from the main menu and not an ideal choice for kids (apparently we were lucky as they still had some bits left in the freezer from the old menu), no choice of drinks so again can only order pints of juice and only one choice of dessert being one flavour of ice-cream. They also no longer provide the option of the menu with quizzes and crayons which they have always done and which so many other family friendly restaurants do. This wouldn't normally be a problem for us, but being told we had to wait half an hour after ordering our food it would have been handy. It felt to me that they are trying to discourage the attendance of children in their restaurant. Unfortunately we will not be going back as a family with young children. A shame as the food on the main menu is...
Read moreHaven't been here for a breakfast in ages so looking forward to it this morning me n my wife ordered we waited about half hour then the person that came in after us got theres before us then my wife made a comment and just shortly after that our came out. Well so disappointed tattie scones was so burnt on one side so they replaced them and then I went to cut the black pudding it was as solid as a rock I was chapping my plate with it so I asked for the chef to come out and explain how he can serve this to any customer is beyond me and all he could say is sorry I just took it out of the pan then walked off. The other guy couldn't be any nicer offering me another breakfast but i refused and told him that i wasn't paying for this he didn't even take the money for my wifes breakfast as she did eat half of it. This chef should be sacked for the way he spoke to us especially when he let the door close in my face when we were leaving. I USED TO RECOMMEND THIS PLACE BUT NO MORE I had a video of the black pudding chapping the plate but it won't allow me to post it...
