King Edward Bar & Restaurant - the front of the building - Pubs Near Me - Ilderton, Ontario

Quaint English styled pub that proudly serves cask ale. My wife and I were on a 3-day Real Ale expedition through Michigan and Ontario and were quite pleased at out stop for supper and a few pints to bring our final night abroad to a close. Several choices of European beer and some local ON selections. I felt obligated to have bangers and mash, whilst my wife deemed it equally appropriate to have fish & chips. We had great soup, and both enjoyed sharing my bangers plate. The fish and chips were on the soggy side and not hot enough for her. A little bit of a let-down, luckily my meal was plenty of food to split and her fish turned into fish tacos the next evening when we arrived home. We were pleased with the service and fastly made a few adequateness amongst the patrons. I hope to return to The King Edward, a expect to pleasantly served hand pulled ale and enjoy my meal once again. read more

A simple country restaurant in an old building that serves classic English comfort food... oh and crazy good wings. Food: Very good, I had the fish & chips, and my brother had a lamb burger, would have been nice if the fries weren't frozen. Several craft brew selections there, including my favorite Smash bomb from Flying Monkey Breweries. Service: Friendly, helpful, and attentive. Atmosphere: Pub like accented by the features of a period building. Note: *** Chicken wings are great, they have a ton of flavors from honey to super hot. If you're in the mood for a super hot challenge then try the "Chef's Revenge" wings, 6 of the hottest things I've ever eaten. There good value for the money since you'll be hiccuping for hours with a burning mouth... good times! A cute little place outside of lunch, I'd definitely go back. read more

One of my favorite places to eat when I come home from Oklahoma. The staff there treat you like family and will visit or not depending on your wish. The wait staff are always very knowledgeable about the menu and beer and make excellent recommendations. The food is always first rate and the menu is diverse and delicious. There is nothing that I would not order. Get yourself a pint of 10w30 and enjoy! read more

After hearing radio adds for a few months about this authentic British Pub. I decided to take the drive out to Ilderton last Friday. I do enjoy my fish and chips on Fridays so I had my palette all set for some real fish and chips. I was sorely disappointed with the cod and chips I was served. There was about 20 McCain frozen fries on a plate with a soggy piece of battered cod. Definitely no hand cut chips. Then the mushy peas. My god! They actually tasted worse than they smelled (which was awful). On the bright side. The cask ale was great and the pub itself had good atmosphere. Had I had the Bangers n Mash it may have been worth the trip out to Ilderton. I think I'll stick to Kipps Lane Fish n Chips or Archie's. King Eddy really has to try harder read more

Started out a little slow, kinda short handed on servers. Food on the other hand was great. I had the burger with a side poutine. Wife has the southwestern wrap. Both tasted good. Poutine was a bit on the small side for a side order but still good. Wrap had some heat but not over powering. We also had dessert. We had the Murphy cake. It was fantastic. Well worth checking out. read more

As close to a British Neighborhood Pub outside of the British Isles. Favorite Dish... The Chicken Curry. It's a 15 out of 10! Atmosphere... Turn of the Century (20th) grocery store converted to a restaurant with original floors and welded tin ceiling. A definite step back in time in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. A great place to eat, a well preserved piece of local history, and a defining focal point for the countryside village of Ilderton.. A great place to live, work, ....and eat! Ilderton just wouldn't be the sae without 'The Eddy'! read more

The King Edward Pub; Customers Beware!!! What was a nice evening with friends turned out to be somewhat shocking! We went to Ilderton to eat at The King Edward Pub (Customers Beware)-apparently it is no longer up to the customer to tip or not to tip! We have never encountered such nerve shown by a owner of a business! When we went to leave we were bombarded by the owner inquiring if we had a problem with her server. We said No!She then proceeded to say, "Why didn't you tip her?" We were stunned to be asked such a question. Tom had left a $5 tip and our friends were just discussing what they were going to leave but before they decided what they were going to do, the owner stopped us. (Our friends were just about to go back and leave a tip because they both thought each other had already tipped and when they realized that neither one did, they were on their way to put 1 on the table when we were confronted!) Needless to say, I am disgusted that an owner of an establishment would have the nerve to ask a paying customer, which each couple just paid $75-$90 for our food & refreshments, why we didn't tip and was very ignorant about it and insisted that we tip! Yes we could've tipped more and we're going to but our server wasn't overly exceptional. She did get $5 but apparently that wasn't enough! We did have an issue during our dinner. We did mention to the waitress that our nacho chips were stale and all she did was shrug it off! She didn't apologize or compensate us in any way. We did not make a scene, we just mentioned it and carried on eating! We had no idea that we were going to be confronted upon leaving this establishment with an issue. Once she confronted us, I of course felt the need to stand my ground and informed this owner with the following information; "As a customer last time I checked, it was our prerogative to tip!" This got the owner more upset and she kicked us out of the establishment and banned us from coming back! Can anyone believe the behaviour and actions of this owner? We certainly would not ever go back even if we wanted to! If you ask me it's in poor taste to confront customers who may I remind you did tip $5, to tip more! That's very poor business sense when it comes to customer service! You are trying to operate a business in a small community. I would think you would cherish you're customers! All I want to say now is, " Look it lady we paid our bill, we don't owe you anything f#ckin' else!" Done! And the word I called you when I left; suited you to a tee! Only someone like that would have enough nerve to do that! Now I'm done ranting! read more

The waitress we had explained that she was new and we all thought she was very nice, but she needs more training. This is not her fault it is managements fault. Our table of 4 ordered our meals and they came out in a timely fashion, except mine was the wrong order, she took the food away and said they were making my food. I waited long enough that the other 3 were done their food by the time mine came out with no apology. No one came to ask us about drink refills we had to ask. When the check came I noticed I was charged full price. I found the waitress and asked if there was anything she could do since I waited so long. She said she would ask. She then talked to the owner. He asked what happened and I didn't hear what she said. He looked up at me and said "well everyone makes mistakes" which I totally get. I didn't want my meal to be free I was just wondering about a discount or even an apology. So the owner said to her in front of me "it's up to you" she obviously didn't know what to do and I felt bad he put her in that position, I told her to forget about it and sat back down. If you want return customers and positive word of mouth you need to work on your customer service and train your new waiters. read more
