Called in on the spur of the moment for a quick bite to eat after very stressful day.On arrival, I headed straight to the bar and ordered a drink and was greeted by a very pleasant and friendly member of staff.After pursuing the menu, I decided to order a bite to eat and sat in the bar area.The food came out very promptly and I have to say it was absolutely delicious. A*Again, I was served by the same member of staff.I just want to take this opportunity to say what fantastic service I received and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending The Kings Head to family and friends.The person in question that served me was a gentleman called Matt and he is an absolute pleasure, nothing was too much trouble.He is an asset to the company.Thank you again :-)

My friend and I had lunch there with our babies. The food was nice but the service was slow in terms of being seen to by staff, although I put that down to only 2 staff members working at that time. Myself and others stood at the bar for quite a while waiting for someone to come and serve us, although the food did come out fairly quickly. There wasn’t anywhere to change the babies (to my knowledge) which for a family pub would be nice. It was an okay experience I just think if the staff were more attentive and there was changing facilities that would have made it better.

Haven’t eaten here for a long time and the food was lovely. Freshly cooked and good portion sizes. Had Hunters Chicken Schnitzel which was just lovely and husband had steak which he said was cooked perfectly. Plenty of free parking and nice outside area front and rear.

We had an excellent visit and stay at The Kings Head. The room we had (9) was comfortable and ideal as a base for our visit. The shower was probably the best I’ve used in any hotel I’ve stayed in.Location was very quiet despite being on a main road and there were some lovely walks to be had.All the staff we encountered throughout our stay were friendly and helpful; a special mention to Libby, who waited on us for our evening meal and ensured that we were well looked after despite being rushed off her feet. The evening meal we had was very nice and cooked to order, breakfast was ordered off a menu and again cooked fresh to order and well worth the wait.I would recommend this establishment to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in the area.

We popped in at 5.30 on a Sunday on the off-chance they still had any roast dinners left and 20minutes later we had two gorgeous lamb dinners in front of us! A roaring fire, cosy, relaxed atmosphere. Perfection! Perfect portions, perfectly cooked, and extra gravy on request!

Orsi, Libby and the wider team are always super friendly and welcoming. The service is outstanding and being also in hospitality myself I do not say that lightly. There is a great selection of drinks and the menu is excellent. The final thing to say is nothing to much trouble for the staff, they treat you as part of the family.
