Visited here for dinner with friends and family, canāt believe how much this place has changed! Absolutely beautiful interior and the staff were so polite and efficient. We were made to feel very welcome! Food was also marvellous and we were offered a wide selection due to the mix of different menu's! Will definitely be coming back. New management keep it up šš»

The pub interior is gorgeous however staff looked like they wanted to be anywhere but work. Ordered pizza and arancini, pizza looked like it was from Morrisons frozen section, despite saying āhomemadeā on the menu. However the arancini was passable. We werenāt asked once if our food was okay and had to go to the bar to ask for condiments. Sticky toffee pudding for dessert and was offered a knife and fork to eat it withā¦ however tasted good.

Very quiet! Limited menu. No beer on hand pumps! Pea risotto was mediocre, ciabatta, pork dish and ham egg & chips okay. Chips actually were good. Sticky toffee pudding was cold!? Nobody came back to our table to enquire if everything was okay. So, we decided not to have hot drinks at end of meal. We have been here many times and never had this experience. Unfortunately it has lost its appeal. Hope the new management can turn this around.

Having purchased several takeaways during lockdown that were incredible, my wife and thought we'd return to the Kings Head for her birthday and our 12 wedding anniversary meal. Although the menu was limited there were a few options that looked good, but the choice for vegetarians is limited. I chose the crispy pork belly to start and my wife the whipped goats cheese. The belly pork was small thin (1 cm by 10 cm) strip that was tough and not crispy at all and a little bland. It was more like an canapĆ© than a starter. My wife's goats cheese was simple but nice. Her white wine arrived and was warm which showed inexperience in the bar/waiting staff. The main courses came out a few minutes after the starters were cleared away, so it all felt rushed. My wife chose the pea risotto which was very over cooked, soft rice and lacking texture, she was very disappointed. My venison was cooked well but the crispy celeriac was not crispy and the puree was lacking in quantity and to fondant potato was dry and not like a good fondant. Deserts were the weakest course. The lemon tart was lacking filling, the pastry was too dry and the compote was inedible. My wife's panacota was in cubes and was heavy, not light and wobbly as it should be, there was lots of unnecessary crumbs over the plate, but the milk iced cream was ok. We left in less than an hour very disappointed, Ā£80 poorer. My advice to the management, think about your menu, cook to food to order and think about providing better value as your menu is expensive, which is ok if the food is excellent, but our meal last night was far from that level. Try and give more choice for vegetarians also, you're behind the times. Not sure we will return sadly.

Just about the best pub in the area, the new manager and his team are doing a great job, excellent food, top service levels and all reasonably priced!

The 1 star reflects my dissapointment in the fact that the menu, staff and quality have completely changed since we have last been here. (New management too?) This was one of my favourite restaurants with unique food beautifully presented and a bit pricey. The pricey stayed, but the food quality is now just average. And the food options are reduced to usual pub food. On top of that we have waited 80 min in a moderately busy period for a fish&chips and a sausage. The staff is nice, but you can see the chaos and inexperience hindering performance.

Very disappointed. The business has changed hands and so has the quality of ambience, service and quality of food. They will need to raise their game and learn fast if they want to remain in business. It all starts from the top and the standards they have and the direction they give

Really enjoyed going back to the Kings Head as itās been a while. I read some very strange negative reviews on TP about the new management and food. Not sure the old management got it right anyway as they thought it was perfectly fine to charge Ā£35 for a steak ā¦.oh and then another fiver for some veg with the steak then expensive average wine plus 10% service on top! Well itās not fine unless itās brilliant food and a special night out which clearly too many people thought it wasnāt so give these guys a break. We loved the more āfamily feelā pub transformation which is NOT trying to be a high end restaurant. Hopefully it will be supported, the food is decent, staff are young and sparky and my wallet is still intact as it was good value. Some better selection of wines would be welcome but I am sure they will get better fortunately the beers are good and the staff were smiling and fun.

I recently went with a group of friends to try the menu on offer from the new landlord. The food and ambiance have always been superb at the Kingās Head but the new menu caught my eye as it looked fresh and great value. The first thing I noticed when walking in was the place was busy and full of people standing around, or seated, just having a drink along with other groups eating. This beautiful old building has regained that buzz of a great village pub that also serves food rather than just a restaurant, so now feels more inclusive and is a destination whether you want to just have a drink, or go for a great meal out. The new landlord made us feel so welcome, the bar staff were great and the food was lovely, we had Steak, Burger (with a choice of four different toppings), fish and Chips, and three other main dishes as they all sounded so delicious we wanted to try the lot. We went with some extra onion rings as well. We also had starters to share between the six of us and I can say the wings were amazing. We had a great time and will be visiting far more regularly as itās now a great pub that you can simply have a drink and a packet of crisps in, have a drink and a light snack, or go the whole hog and sit down for an amazing three course meal without breaking the bank. Highly recommended

Visited the Kings Head with a group of friends recently. We were made to feel very welcome by the Landlord and his team. There was a great atmosphere with a mixture of people drinking and dining.

We came to the pub to see the place under new management to see what the atmosphere was like after an off experience there last year, for a well earned sunday lunch. We had the pork belly and beef roast, and my 4 year old son had a beef burger on the kids menu. The service was wonderful, getting taken to our table by the lovely Sophie. I was recommended the violet gin by Lorraine, which was so good! It feels so much more welcoming and comfortable, being able to sit at the bar and feel more like a relaxed village pub, unlike before. We are already planning our next trip back to watch the rugby, and for more of that gin. See you again soon!

I canāt believe the changes gone on in what used to be such a wonderful place to eat. Jo, Lily and the team used to make it the experience amazing and the 10/10 food just topped it off! This has now gone down hill turning into a tacky pub with workers vaping behind the bar, very distasteful in my opinion. I shall no longer be returning which is a shame as I had introduced family members and friends to this pub as i loved it very much.

Under new ownership and a step back in the quality of food and service. You shouldnāt go and expect anything like the dining experience offered by the previous team. We both had the āhand battered haddockā it was a slab of previously frozen fish in a batter coating and if it was hand battered (it wouldnāt have survived the battering anyway) I would be very surprised! Very ordinary, greasy with a bowl of peas and an underwhelming tartar sauce. Not bad chips though! Not a patch on the cod loin on the menu previously. Appreciate this is early in the new ownership but they need to pick up their game.

A brasserie pitched and priced as Fine dinning. Elegant food, presented immaculately, but the restaurant was missing some fine dining details. Myself and three others dined a fortnight ago. I had steak, because for the price point this is the only reasonably priced item on the menu. Ā£35 for a āpubā main course is the top end for Northamptonshire. The food was served promptly, albeit by different servers, the waitresses were very polite and had answers to our questions. I had the Tikka masala scallops, which i found to be a curious combination, knowing scallops are a mild flavour they were i felt overpowered by tikka masala, but overall the dish was interesting to eat. The steak was perfectly cooked, but did come with a āparcelā of vegetables (wrapped in a cabbage or similar leaf), that all appeared to have been fried and a sauce added, this was i felt an unusual way to serve vegetables with steak, an oriental style, as opposed to traditional chargrilled. I felt the restaurant lacked some aspects i would come to expect from similar at that level. The cutlery provided was the cheapest commercial cutlery, thin, lacking substance, the steak knives were cheap and basic, and the napkin was a basic cheap paper one, no plate chargers, no table dressing, cheap paper menus. The chair and table height was odd, with the table being low. These are below the standards this restaurant pitches itself at. Furthermore we could hear the kitchen radio from the table, and a dispute the servers had with the kitchen. I probably would not go again, for this price point, customer experience is unfortunately lacking.

Had a really great meal for 2 on a Friday night. Could not fault anything with the food or service! Haven't been for a while and it was good to see that the food is fantastic as ever. My celeriac starter was super tasty and definitely Michelin star quality. I'm very fussy with wine and it's rare to find something on a wine list I like, but they had a fantastic Californian oaky Chardonnay, which sadly is a rare offering in most places. The nice relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff topped the evening off. Will be back very soon! Thanks ...Sarah

Had a Sunday roast here today and the food was absolutely phenomenal. The service however, appalling, our waitress was extremely rude and impatient with us. Itās been a little while since I had seen my parents so we had a lot to catch up on, the waitress came over mid conversation and asked us if we were ready to order, we simply told her we werenāt ready to order and could we please have a little more time. The young lady then immediately took umbrage to this and proceeded to interrupt my partner and dadās conversation to ask the same question, when they didnāt answer she rudely said āor ignore me thenā. We were speechless, clearly this young lady didnāt like her job very much to speak to customers in such a rude and confrontational way. This then affected her whole attitude from that point onwards towards us, she was rude, very dismissive and when she bought the dessert menu over after eventually clearing our mains she said āyouāve got 30 minutesā before basically throwing the menus at us!!! Absolutely terrible service, in fact, Iād go as far to say itās the WORST I have ever experienced which is a shame because itās no reflection of the chefās standard of food or other members of bar staff. Ā£146 to be treated like that, absolute shambles you seriously need to think about the people youāre hiring and their attitudes.

Impeccably presented culinary masterpieces served in a pleasant restaurant with polished wooden tables and floor. It appears that the evening menu changes monthly. Ours included pigeon breast, lamb rump, ox cheeks, monkfish and steak burger. The vegetarian option was charred Romanesco. I would recommend the restaurant for a celebration - the menu and food is special. It is pricier than your average fayre, but the experience is way above average! Expect to pay Ā£30 - Ā£50 for two courses, Ā£10 for a dessert. A good choice of wine by the glass or bottle. Very clean throughout, all tables backed by clear Covid-screens which were present but not imposing. Attentive table service with bell (although never had need to use it). Well stocked bar and wonderful wine. Very pleasant staff. Village is located in lovely rolling countryside not far from Holdenby (house) and Brixworth (Anglo Saxon church), easy to get to from both Northampton and the A14. Car park at rear. Can't wait to return !

The Kings Head is a halfway meeting place for my parents so weāve eaten here before and it has been superb. Unfortunately ā¦ šš¼ They had a bad day yesterday. Perhaps they have a new chef š¤·š¼āāļø. Food was very average but consistently expensive. Service was poor and for a Saturday afternoon the place was empty with no atmosphere. We all sent our starters (prawns) back partially eaten and all of our mains were just about edible but not one of us cleared our plates. No atmosphere today with an empty restaurant which was surprising for a Easter Saturday. When the bill came the starters were still charged at nearly Ā£50 but they acknowledged the starters were poor by offering us a free coffee so begs a question as to why they werenāt removed from the bill! The bill was nearly Ā£150 for the 4 of us (two courses with one uneaten) and that was without a dessert because 2 scoops of ice cream was Ā£7.50. Prices have gone up since our last visit! I donāt know that weāll use the Kings Head again. Probably not. Shame really.
