Lovely food, good atmosphere and pet friendly to boot ?Vegetarian options: Tempera vegetable option very nice.

I came here with my family on Mothers Day and had the best experience. We all had roasts and everyone enjoyed every mouthful. Both the pork and the beef were delicious. The service was excellent and the staff were lovely with our children. It’s a bit of a journey from where we live but we will be back very soon.Kid-friendliness: Great portion for the kids roast beef and dessert included in price. Everyone was lovely with our children and most importantly the kids loved their food.

Location, staff and most of the food was lovely but you need to invest in better quality roast beef, for £20 it should not be tough or fatty and unfortunately it was both. Great looking pub.

Just came for a drink, didn't know where to sit as all tables said reserved on and the whole place felt like one big restaurant than a pub. It was deathly quiet with no atmosphere, would have thought a bit of smooth jazz on a Sunday afternoon would have been nice. Felt awkward so drank up & left.

Having been here a few times and had lovely food and a warm welcome 5 of us went for Sunday lunch yesterday. As a previous reviewer has commented, when greeted we were pointed in the direction of our table without menus or a promise of a drinks order being taken. There were only 2 people serving food and drinks, the pub wasn’t overly busy but as we walked to the table we heard a table of 8 who had seemingly only received half of their meals chasing the rest of their order, so it wasn’t boding well. A couple came in after us and had a similar welcome. After waiting for 15 mins we finally had our drinks order taken, but still no menus. After another 5-10 mins we received our drinks and menus. We then waited for another 20 mins before someone came to take our order. Only 2 of us were having starters (soup and a prawn cocktail) came after approximately 15 minutes, and once cleared we then waited for another 35 minutes before we saw our main courses which we had to chase. The couple who had come in before also had a long wait, although they did get their food a lot quicker than us. The sea bass was nice, but the roast beef was 2 very small pieces of meat which was luke warm, as were the vegetables. It’s a shame as we have enjoyed quite a few visits here, but yesterday’s will be our last as now reading some other reviews it wasn’t a one off.

The prawn cocktail starter was poorly presented and basic.As a family we all had the roast dinner, we all found that the roast potatoes were under cooked.The children’s portions were not a good size as they were small.The apple cobbler wasn’t a cobbler at all it seemed to be an undercooked version of an apple crumble.Very pleasant but inexperienced staff.Unlikely to return.
Beautiful pub. One of our favorites. Good atmosphere and friendly staff. The fish and chips were awesome (loved the minted peas). My husband had the dahl curry with cauliflower which was really tasty but a little small as a main course. It needed some rice or a chapati or something.Vegetarian options: Maybe a couple more vegetarian options would be nice

We decided to eat at the Kings Head despite reading a few negative reviews and we are really glad we did. It was a busy evening but they found a table for us even though we had not booked. All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful and we had no delays. The food was excellent and very well presented. We are only in the area for a week but we hope to be able to fit in a second visit.

Visited for Evening Dinner on 21 September , small and full of history in the centre of the village , a number of locals having drinks at the bar and very friendly to visitors , service was quick and freindly , food order Steak for me and Vegetarian for partner . Both cooked to perfection , the vegi side salad was like a meal on its own and got praise from my partner . Cost reasonable , and nice to have a bit of banter with the locals

Some portions are very small,duck at £24.00 with no sides is very expensive IMO.Prawn and crab linguine was very small and very tasteless IMOMy wifes fish and chips was excellent on two occasions,Gold beer was great, but not always available.
