Favorite thing about Kingsmill

Now, it’s all things golf! We enjoy all the aspects: three courses, great employees, fun Membership programs, and camaraderie with association events and tournaments.

Favorite menu item

FOOD & BEVERAGE

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Hello from the culinary world!

Chef Lloyd joined our team at James Landing Grille. He has been helping us roll out some new menu items that are more entrée themed As we continue to grow, we have also added a “Daily Fish Special” since we are getting fresh fish deliveries from our local vendor daily We have added to our pastry options and just finalized The Mill’s offerings for breakfast and lunch. Check out the new menu here.

Elements breakfast offerings have been upgraded and revamped. Individually wrapped pastries have been replaced with freshly baked items, fruit displays are all fresh fruit, sausage and gravy have been added, along with fresh waffles.

The staff is working on making sure the presentations, products, and services showcase the Kingsmill brand. Another area of focus is the main kitchen and pastry shop We are going back to basics making more products in house and improving the quality of the ingredients. Again, items made from scratch and world-class presentations and displays, are paired with personalized service.

We are gradually implementing new offerings with many more coming soon Enjoy the month, and I look forward to seeing all of you around the resort.
