Druid's Head in Kingston upon Thames

Everything top notch! 👏🙌 There's a number of pubs in kingston so it can be hard to choose where to stop off for that 'one for the road' or 'quick bite to eat.' So, to save you the hassle of making that decision, let me tell you: Druids head is where you want to be! Wandered in last week in search of a gem that ticked my aforementioned criteria, and this place did just that and beyond... Staff were super friendly and helpful, that perfect balance between treating everyone like a person and getting things done nice and fast, even when busy! Which, when having worked in hospitality, I know can be tough! And the food, my goodness the food.... I had a burger and it was just fantastic, perfectly cooked, tons of flavour and on my table with hardly any wait, I mean, what more can you ask for!! The place itself invokes everything a modern London pub should be; personable bar folk, incredible food and a proper range of drinks, you all should be proud! 👏 If you're around kingston and find yourself needing a bite to eat, I cannot recommend this place enough, best pub around right now....

Had a fantastic meal at The Druid’s Head on Sunday. Our meal was absolutely delicious and they have great Ale selection! Not very busy and all staff were amazing with quick service. Will definetly come again.

Had a wonderful meal at The Druid’s Head with my mum on Sunday. The food was delicious, freshly made, and full of flavor. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

I went to the druids head on the 29th of March and the food was absolutely delicious and affordable!!! 100% would recommend to all passing through Kingston!

Took my mother and I to the Druids Head for mother's days, here was my experience. The pork was tender with a perfectly crispy exterior, bursting with flavor in every bite. The beef was incredibly juicy and cooked to perfection, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich, savory taste. Both meats were seasoned flawlessly, making this dish a standout. 5/5! Would recommend anyone looking for some good food to go immediately.

Wen for mother's day on Sunday - great food and atmosphere. The beef and chicken roast was amazing.

Visited on 2-nd of march for dinner , BEST SUNDAY ROAST well done Druids Head , will come again!!! Yet again....had a great time Great lunch, not busy at all on tuesday, would recomend the toasties

Had a nice meal at the druids head , most of the restaurants where full and decided to go at the druids head and was the perfect mothers day , thank you

Had the most delicious Sunday roast at The Druid’s Head for Mother’s Day. The food was cooked to perfection—tender chicken, crispy roast potatoes, and flavorful gravy. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect place to celebrate. Huge thanks to the team for the fantastic meal and great service. We’ll definitely be back!

Roast dinner was the worst food in the world , waiting for over an hour. And was so cold plus the chef dose not care and was so rude

A typical British Pub. I loved the dining experience.

Great food, great atmosphere, attentive staff and really kind and considerate of my dog too. Perfect! Been before but this time was even better - will definitely be back.

Nice place for having drinks with friends and the foods are so nice

Interesting pub, with a good atmosphere, friendly staff and a good selection of beers.

Came to Kingston to meet family and went to the Druids Head as it was the favourite place to go. Great service, food excellent and we all had a great time

Great food with large portions. Only let down was the length of time waiting to be served, about 40mins! Scored it very good as couldn't fault the quality of the meals.

Good food and drink at reasonable prices. Went in the afternoon so was a bit quiet so can’t say what night atmosphere would be.

Tom was Amazing! Lovely Service!

Tom and Max are fantastic a credit to this pub!

max the love of my life!!! and tom served me tonight and they were amazing !! highly recommend this pub amazing service

Graduation Drinks and snacks Family and Friends celebrated my sons partner’s graduation ceremony at the nearby Guildhall Had shared snacks to soak up the booze Staff were great, no waiting for ages for service and all very friendly

Great food and atmosphere. Thanks.

Nice atmosphere and really good food. Friendly staff and good service. Will come back soon. The pub is very central in Kingston Market Place and it’s worth visiting

Nice atmosphere, A good variety of beers

I love this pub. The cheese toasties were great, the staff very nice and the atmosphere on point. It is a bit pricey, but it’s worth it to walk through heavens gates. I cannot overstate the quality of the cheese toasties.

Used to be good for real ale with lots from independent breweries locally and further away. Now a poor selection. One of the pump clips even says ‘what is real ale?’ I’d like to know!

Nice place. Good vibe. Food is good

I had the chicken wings dry this time with sauce on the side and it was a dramatic improvement. Sadly, I had to send the smoked salmon back as it came out on a piece of bread instead of the sourdough toast promised. The waitress was very friendly and attentive though and she sorted it all out smoothly.

It's a Greene King pub, I avoid Greene King beers because they're either not nice or not kept well. But here, there's a very wide selection of other beers (don't miss the taps on the back wall of the bar). And they're very dog friendly, we sat upstairs to watch the football and the staff brought up a dog bowl so our pup could keep hydrated.

Service poor, atmosphere and vibe top notch as always

Alan was exceptionally helpful and friendly. He advised us on drinks and was very patient and knowledgeable through the whole service.

Staff are lovely Atmosphere is great It’s a pub! Food is overpriced for the quality! Or at least they should charge maybe a bit more but give more quality! 28 days mature steaks looks like daily basics from cheap supermarket! Should improve!

Food ordered at the till, but one meal was missed out. It was disappointing as my family member had to reorder while others finished eating. Service was slow although the pub was not busy when we arrived for lunch on a Friday.

I don’t usually leave reviews but our waitress, Julie, was so friendly and kind. Best customer service I have had for ages! Thank you so much Julie! :)

Lovely staff Lovely food miserable landlord doesn't answer when you say thankyou

Very slow service and no tea or coffee

Upstairs is very comfortable for large groups. Also the staff is very kind and helpful. The food has room for improvement though.

A tradiional town centre pub. Very good and friendly staff, varied selection of beers. Haven't tried the food yet. Best place in Kingston to watch the rugby.

Came here on Saturday, I ordered a meal with my friend and was served by a waitress named Julie. She started by greeting us and letting us know if we needed her we should give her a shout. Her service was impeccable, she was very friendly and it definitely made my experience more enjoyable! I loved the food and the customer service, will definitely be coming again! Additionally, the pricing was very fair for the quality of the food and I’m excited to try more menu items. I noticed a beer garden, I would love to visit this next time.

Great atmosphere, superb service. We were very well taken care off. Julie went the extra mile and the manager was very helpful. Will be back!

We had a lovely lunch, the food was fresh and surprisingly good. Service was really friendly and attentive, Julie and Tom couldn't do enough for us. It was my first time in the Druids Head but it was cost and festive and I will be back.

Had a light lunch yesterday (19.11.24). At this pub. Arrived approx 11.50 fir annearly lunch. Greeted by a young man who was welcoming, friendly, informative and extremely helpful. This barman is an asset to your staff. We had a very pleasant and tasty steak sandwich and fries. Enjoyed our time in this historic pub. Recommend a visit, enjoyable experience.

So disappointing, booked for 2.30 to enjoy the turkey roast lunch. None available.! Last time we booked about 6 months ago at 4pm for a Sunday roast, none left! Such poor service. Never again. Why advertise meals if not available at peak times? Busy pub, staff always seem under pressure, food service not good, after being told no roast turkey meals available, told 40 minutes wait for two burgers. Really poor

will was so lovely! knew so much about all beers and wines and he was fantatic! 10/10 recommendations!!

very good pub where you eat very well

Super cosy pub by the river. Very engaging young barman, nothing was too much trouble for him. Put my wife onto a banana old fashioned. They serve a mean pint of Greene King Hazy Day in there too.

Amazing place, I work at a nearby pub, but for some reason m, druids head is undisputed.

Pre cinema drinks and a chicken sharing platter. Would highly recommend. Barman Tom was attentive efficient and even lit a table candle to create a bit of romance!!

Awesome place! We were looking for a place for a sunday roast and we did! Service is incredible they made sure if everything was ok. Definetly coming back for the burger!!

Me and my boyfriend came here for lunch on my birthday. The staff were so lovely, we interacted with Tom and Charlie and they were so welcoming and friendly, they would talk to us like we knew them prior which just made a conversation with them so easy-going and comfortable. They are a staple to this pub and definitely put the cherry on top of our visit, some of the best servers I have interacted with. When we first came in, Tom gave us options for where to sit and when we said we were here for my birthday, he showed us to a quiet, more secluded area so we could really enjoy our visit. As for the food, wow. It was so delicious and well worth the price. There is a really large drink selection so you’re guaranteed to get something you like. When we next come to Kingston, I’m definitely going to come here again, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a place for drinks and/or some good food. (The photos were just after we had started eating as the food was honestly too good)

I had a roast which was very nice, particularly the cabbage. The service was generally good as well. I was given a very small pot of gravy so I asked for another pot. I was flabbergasted when they wanted to charge me £1.50 for another small pot of gravy.

A lovely place, friendly staff, good pours and the burgers were delicious 😋

What a pleasant pub. Traditional feel, staff were really nice, pleasant and polite. Didn't eat but wanted to share it was a really nice environment. Five star service, five star Atmosphere, shame we didn't eat, then google might show five stars.

My favourite pub in Kingston. Great selection of beer & excellent food. A must visit if you’re in the area!

Lovely old pub. Friendly staff. Great food and drink. Perfect!

Great food, friendly bar & wait staff, excellent beers. The pub has a nice atmosphere, and lots of cozy areas. There’s a lovely beer garden & patio around the back as well.

Plenty of screens to watch different sports, lots of areas to sit including outside, or upstairs with a big screen. Friendly staff and lovely food! Will be back!

Great price on food and drinks Friendly staff

Decent pub in the Old Apple Market. Large pub/dining area inside which is nice throughout. Great selection of draught beers (one alcohol free,-Lucky Saint) good sized garden, some parts undercover, also 2 huts which looked cosy. Nice pub. Staff friendly. Food looked nice, Recommended for families too.

Price is decent, atmosphere and garden are good if you like a cheeky smoke. In regards with staff, they're all kids with no social skills and no wish to work, don't know why they hire people like that to be honest.

One staff member only, no food available & He could not make Margarita

Great place for a pint with friends and for crowd watching

I recently visited Druids Head, a fantastic bar and restaurant located in the historic area of Kingston upon Thames. The place is truly impressive with its vast seating area, accommodating a large number of guests without feeling crowded. The atmosphere is a perfect blend of lively and relaxed, making it an ideal spot for both casual drinks and dining. The menu offers a wide variety of delicious options, each dish well-prepared and flavorful. The staff are friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. Set in a historic location, Druids Head combines charm, great service, and ample space, making it a must-visit in Kingston.

Good selection of beers and cask ales, and the food was pretty good, too. Also, it's dog-friendly. #winning

Love this pub, great service , great drink and food. Will be back for sure

Nice atmosphere and friendly staff, small outside seating area looking out on the old Apple market and lots of comfy indoors seating. Fairly usual choice of beers but a couple of guest casks.

Such a lovely pub, great big space and lovely for some afternoon drinks. Food was also delicious and super well priced

We come here for a family meal, the staff was all super helpful and friendly especially Tom and Aimee who brought out our food.

Fantastic time at the Druids Head, great selection of drinks and the food was amazing, I would like to mention Aimee who is a great member of staff and couldn’t do enough for us, well done Aimee.

Nice pub next to my bank so very convenient!

Pretty big pub in Kingston with several floors and nice little nooks if you're lucky enough to grab one. The bar staff are really nice, super helpful and polite, some of the nicest bar staff I've ever met really! If you're in the area, it's definitely a safe bet for a nice pint, a table, & good service.

James served me in there this one afternoon, great experience all round, lovely pub

Great spot for a bite, lovely garden and patio, lively atmosphere, great service, and food is an absolute treat. 👏👏👏

Visited this week had amazing food off the specials and stayed and watched football. Lovely atmosphere and great service

Nice pub. Food was excellent. It's a bit pricy but worth it. I am sure it is a good place to hang out. But was quiet when I was here. Staff friendly. If you have some spare change and looking for a good old fashioned Sunday roast then I can recommend it.

Aussies looking to watch Rugby League - State of Origin. Declan was very helpful and made sure the game was on the big screen. Queenslander!!!!

Came for drinks good selection and reasonably priced for the area.

Fantasic service. Two lads behind the bar were super helpful & accomodating. Delicious roast dinners. Will definately be coming back!

Family with 2 teens shopping. We ordered 3 burgers & 1 plant based mushroom chilli . The veggie choices were great . Friendly staff . Lots of screens to watch footie . And good prices on menu .

One of my favourite pubs in the area. Amazing staff and a good selection of keg and cask beer. Will alway come back here if I'm in the area

We got there on Saturday, 3pm. Place was pretty quite. Ordered food and drink from table. Drinks came early, from 3 deinks 1 was missing. We waited for a while after went to talk to the bar member. They daid havinga new system and they cant see the amounts on the orders. Food waiting time was 30mins. 1 was missing out of 5 meals. Someone came and double checked what we got and what was missing. All grilled burger meat patty was burnt. Proper black. 3 out of 5 meals. Ordered some coffe after meals, was taking ages to get them. Young girl, with black ponytail was lovely, she was cleaning our table. Overall I would not recommend this place for having meal.

Nice pub, good vibes James was very friendly

I have been going to Druids head in Kingston for a very long time! Very good food, and great team! Really like the outside space too! I would definitely recommend to go and have drinks/food there!

Very poor service and food. Ordered drinks and food for 5 of us. Half of the drinks didn’t arrive and one of the mains was missing as well. They were keep on blaming the system that the printer doesn’t always print the tickets correctly. We ordered online via the app. Unacceptable to have missing drinks and food as well when everything was done digitally. Food came out burnt as it can be seen on the picture. Only giving 2 stars because our waitress despite all the hiccups was actually smiling and super friendly and tried her best to sort things out for us.

A really lovely evening at the Druids head! Staff are always pleasant and friendly and take time to make sure their customer's are happy! Doing us proud for the oldest pub in Kingston, keep it up team Druids. Also, we really enjoy the quiz night on Thursdays great atmosphere! A special mention to Olivia as she is always welcoming and attentive!

Amazing food and great service, highly recommend!!

Good food, good service, good location, really friendly staff. Nice outdoor space too. Recommend a visit. Love the feel good messages on the walls in the beer garden.

favourite pub in Kingston! Staff are so friendly and helpful, food is always delicious. can’t fault it.

Really lovely pub, nice garden and very relaxing atmosphere. The service was fantastic and very friendly, they had a lots of wine and beers selection.

Great service from the staff excellent

The food is always amazing, the beer garden gets a really nice amount of sun and there are enough umbrellas for everyone and all the staff are very friendly

Had the pie and a guiness. Really recommend 👍

A pub steeped with history in Kingston’s market square and a nice escape from the hustle and bustle of the town centre. The drink selection is fairly decent, but pretty expensive. I get that the prices are relative to the area, but Druids is getting quite scruffy and in need of a refurb so the prices don’t really befit the premises. The food is also quite basic and pricy for what it is (no better than Spoons really but much more pricy). That said, it’s a nice outlet in town and the staff are always friendly, including door staff on Friday and Saturday nights. Often there’s live music at the weekend too. Not the best pub in town - hopefully Greene King throw some money at the place to smarten it up a bit! Update: visited on a sultry May evening and was impressed by the way they have decorated the side courtyard and the nice dimly lit evening feel with lamps on the tables. Upgraded my review to 4/5 as the outside is much better now and very inviting. Will make a nice place to go in the warmer months.

We had a beautiful house salad.

Lovely staff lovely atmosphere really it’s a huge pub I really had a good time with my friends

Immaculately Clean , tasty food , Really good service

Really nice environment, lovely food. Definitely would recommend

Always a good atmosphere , the new menu is very good! Well worth a visit !

Great food and service the squid and halloumi dish was great 😊

Amazing food and amazing service, i had such a good time there with my friends.
