Bors Hede Restaurant

Went on the Independence Day, so to say it was slow was an understatement. Wanted to try ale and all the classic medieval food, but seemed a little lacking in authenticity. Hoped for a more engaging dialogue and menu, but I get it– wrong day. Had to track down the staff whenever we needed anything.

Great experience! What fun! Can’t believe I waited so many years to go here. Looking forward to introducing the bors hede to more friends and family.

Honestly I’m shocked this doesn’t have as many views. I’ve been here four times now and always plan on going back. You get immersed into a medieval village as soon as you enter and it doesn’t end with the restaurant experience either.
The food is delicious. You get a four course meal. Starting with a classic medieval cheese sampling platter. You eat on a plate that’s a piece of bread and wash your hands like in the olden times. The staff lights a fireplace and a minstrel plays and sings live. You get a choice of entrée a weird bread thing and dessert and medieval beverages.
We have come here in costume before too.
I think the best part was my boyfriend asked to use the bathroom and the waiter told us we can’t take baths there, but that they have a privy

We love to go to the Bors Hede for our anniversary. This is the only place I know of that you can get a medieval experience. It is quite accurately medieval too. The only modern thing in the place is the toilet (thank goodness!)
All but one time we have been there we have been the only ones there. It makes the entertainment feel a little awkward because it is focused completely on us. I just love this place!

This place was amazing! The food was outstanding! I loved how Roger the Innkeeper stayed in character the entire time, it really made for a great experience.
We didn’t visit the village as a whole so I’m not rating the village, just the Bors Hede restaurant. The food was really great. I felt like I was feasting at a medieval court! The plum sauce thing for dessert was literally out of this world good. It easily could have been served at any good restaurant.
The experience of eating with our hands and off a trencher really helped give a good experience. The whole theme and décor of the restaurant was very cozy and helped set the mood for a 14^th century inn/​restaurant.
We will definitely be going back. It’s a bit of a drive from Seattle but that helps set the mood being out in a countryside type area. Can’t wait to experience a festival here!

Why aren’t there more reviews for this place? It’s absolutely incredible. From its old design to the always-​in-​character waiter /​minstrel to the authentic 14^th century recipes, this place is, by far, one of the most unique restaurants that I have ever visited. It’s very highly-​recommended and definitely worth the drive from nearby Seattle.

Fascinating place and very pleasurable. The hosts are clearly invested in giving the visitor an authentic 14^th century experience.
Hits: First course and my fenberry pie were delicious. Roger is a terrific musician and singer. Actually, EVERYTHING was lovely except for the few things noted below.
Misses: As the only customers, the food was hastely prepared from stuff in the fridge/​freezer. It needed to be heated more thoroughly. My brother’s pork chop looked like it came from Ye Olde Costco super-​pak (but he didn’t seem to notice and loved it). The trencher bread was much more fluffy than I expected. Like a giant hamburger bun. I was expecting something much more dense. But what do I know? Also, I was hoping for a stew-​type option, as that would have been a more authentic accompaniment for trenchers. Like a pork stew?
Still and all, it was a great experience and the flavors were both new to my palate and welcoming to my tongue.
If more people came here during non-​festival days, there would be fewer misses so I COMMAND ALL UnilocalERS to visit Camlann Village (where Bors Hede is located)!
PS — wish I could share pics but we were commanded to turn off all devil’s devices. Hint: google «trenchers» and you’ll find some pics of the place.

If you happen to be in Seattle, WA, the Bors Hede Restaurant is well worth the 40 minute drive for the dining experience it offers. As we walked in the door, it felt like stepping back in time. It was lots of fun experiencing the meal. The food was much different from what we normally eat, but it was still quite tasty. We definitely left the restaurant with full tummies.
They also entertained with songs throughout the meal, which was unexpected. We knew there would be some entertainment, but we didn’t expect it to continue throughout the entire meal. The singing was superb, and the songs chosen fit well with what I would have expected for the time period.
This would be a great place to go with a large group of people and rent the banquet room.
Make sure to make reservations ahead of time!

The Inn Keeper was not there that day… but they allowed us to come in anyway with last second «reservations.»
What we didn’t know is that they had no customers and could’ve gone home early, but were super nice and waited for us (40 mins) and then gave us amazing service.
The waitress was lovely and attentive, but not overbearing. She was the only one working the restaurant, so she cooked all the food and waited on us… and she sang while in the kitchen cooking– she had a lovely voice. It was a great experience– especially since it was only the 2 of us in the old medieval restaurant.
The bread bowl appetizer… was AMAZING! The salad was so fresh and delicious… she said she had just picked the herbs from the garden– and I believe her.
The food taste was so very unique that even though I didn’t love all of it, it was an honor to have those flavors dance down my throat.
It would be fun to go back when it is in full swing with the medieval village, but it will never be as special as having a private medieval dinner served for two.
Thank you Bors Hede for treating us like royalty
