Kings Head in Stroud

Visited here the night before my wedding with 10 friends as we were staying locally. I called ahead and Sophie was so helpful. The food was superb, the beer was great and the atmosphere was great. The whole group loved it. Thank you

This is the best Sunday roast in the Cotswolds. Great there is a choice for vegetarians and vegans too. If you want a warm welcome, delicious food and a friendly vibe then treat yourself now. Thanks to Nicky, Jo and the team for a wonderful Sunday lunch. We will return soon.

What a burger…….. stoped between jobs had me tea . Staff friendly! And great burger and chips.friendly locals(as I’m very outgoing) and nicely tucked away , like a proper forget Cotswold pub . Work clothes where acceptable 😊😊

On a family trip we booked an evening meal. Traditional pub with a great atmosphere and friendly locals. It was busy and we enjoyed a drink in the garden before eating inside. The food was excellent. I had a steak which was cooked to perfection. My granddaughter had a cheese burger and my wife had lasagne. The real ale was kept to perfection. However the star of the show was Sophie and her kitchen team. Sophie was welcoming and a great host. She looked after us throughout the evening and was funny and charming. If you're in the area drop in for a drink but make sure you book if you want to eat.

Lovely pub, friendly staff, great atmosphere. Recommended booking though if you want food, but luckily staff managed to fit us in :)

The pub is quite small inside, but has a large outdoor seating. Would recommend booking a table. We ate few times and our favourite was the burger. It was a large portion, juicy burger 🍔 salad 🥗 and french fries 🍟 all were delicious 😋

Absolutely fantastic Sunday roast: really impressed with the food here! Our families ate the beef, pork, vegetarian and vegan nut roasts and everyone was wowed by the great taste and also the generous perfectly cooked vegetables . Fabulous all round. Helpful and accommodating staff. Beautiful scenery and views, indoor and a variety of outdoor seating in sun and shade- highly recommend Sunday lunch here.

I was born and brought up in France Lynch but left some 40 years ago to see the world - a trip down memory Lane took us to the Kings Head for lunch. It’s changed a bit, 2 bars have become one - it’s warm and bright, and does food - things have moved on! It was so nice to see it’s still a village pub with a lunchtime trade - we had the scampi and it was excellently cooked and a decent pint to go with it. Retired and living in Scotland we probably won’t be back again If you want a pub off the beaten track with good beer and honest prices in a real Cotswold village give it a go .

Visited here Christmas Day for a cheeky Baileys !! A Lovely traditional pub in a beautiful part of the U.K . A lovely atmosphere and although we wasn't locals we felt at home. Got served almost immediately, a verity in the city ! Definitely recommend if your in the area.

This little pub has always been our favourite. A recent makeover has made it much better to enjoy both inside and out. Well done to Joe and team.

Hard to find and get to by car - narrow lanes all around - we had stopped here some years previously while walking. Staff are friendly and beer was very good - Doombar and Stroud Budding were perfectly cellared - but this is a small pub in a difficult location so not busy - we had options of scmpi and chips or curry so we had one of each. Both were adequate but not overly appealing. The attraction os the lovely peaceful locatio with good views over the valley - and we read about upcoming music events which looked interesting - we'll walk over.

The pub is small and under new ownership these last couple of months however the welcome received was great and the Sunday meal even better, in fact the tastiest Sunday roast I have had in a pub. Well recommended

New owners, but still a warm welcome and great food, ambiance etc. This is a small pub with a wonderful sunny garden.

Meals for a family of 6. Lots of different choices were had, 2 Steaks 1 x lasagne 1x beef bourgoine 1x fish and chips and a portion of chips. If the best compliment you can give a chef is an empty plate.... they were all empty Deserts.... all devoured. I believe this place is under new ownership if so once word gets out how good it is a booking will be the only way to get a seat. Great Staff, great food, great atmosphere 100% reccomend

Stopped here mid walk for lunch. Friendly, easy going staff and a pleasant atmosphere. There was reasonable spacing between tables. A good selection of beers, ciders and a reasonable selection of baguette’s for lunch, which were very good. Very pleasant,

Crazy weather meant it was too cold to sit out, even with patio heaters. Ordered by phone to collect. Limited menu but two options we wanted were available. Stick to main roads to get there but last bit is single car wide. Meant we had a nice cosy warm dinner at home to help wash down our Anniversary champagne.

He was the rudest person we have ever met. Rude to teenage girls Violent threats Calling us ridiculous for wanting to split a bill We have never had a worse experience

This place was only a 5 min walk from our air bnb, very welcoming, good food and fair price. Have not complaints especially when it was so close. Would be a good place for outside drinks in the summer after a walk.

We received a very warm welcome at the Kings Head and enjoyed the choice of vegan options available. The choc chip sponge dessert was particularly delicious!! It’s quite rare to find a pub with a vegan dessert option so that was a real treat. Lovely cosy atmosphere and traditional vibe. Great experience all round.

Este lugar fue seleccionado para una celebración familiar de cumpleaños. Qué excelente elección.Preciosas vistas desde el jardín con muchos asientos.Excelente personal acogedor con un gran enfoque.Muy buen menú con amplia variedad.Tres de nosotros elegimos un excelente curry de pescado y gambas. Probablemente el mejor que he probado en la memoria reciente.

A very warm welcome and my dachshund was also fully welcomed. The food was great. The locals were very friendly and made us feel really welcome and added to the atmosphere. Thank you. Luke & Katrina

No es tan fácil de encontrar y es un acceso estrecho en coche por decir lo menos.Dicho esto, disfrutamos de una breve bienvenida y breve de Covid Safe.Pub clásico que entregó comida y servicio deliciosos con una sonrisa.no espere muebles o instalaciones de alta gama, pero vaya y disfrute del servicio, el ambiente y la comida.

During our visit to france lynch village we found a very friendly pub. They are very attentive and good food. The food was so delish and yummy. I really enjoyed our meal there and recommended it to other visitors.

Popped in for beer and snacks whilst on a walk. We are not local but made to feel very welcome by the staff. Fantastic local beer, and hot tasty food. We will return.

The pub with very friendly and good British pub food and nice and quiet and very nice. It’s was nice food.

Small rural pub in hard to find location. The King’s Head has a few tables for food next to a cosy bar which serves a decent pint of real ale. There is a reasonable sized car park with a beer garden next to it. The menu was limited and from it I had sausage eggs and chips. All good. In my opinion this would make a great local for beer drinkers. The limited food menu would not entice me to drive out unless I particularly wanted a pub grub meal. Staff were pleasant, helpful and courteous. NOTE: Don’t attempt to drive down the road to the pub below, it narrows dramatically at the first bend and the majority of cars (including me) will get stuck. All the lanes in this area are very narrow.

Lovely little village pub that was packed full of Locals and visitors, found it well recommended on trip advisor. Booked a table by phone ( there isn’t a lot of tables) and went along in the evening. We were made to feel welcome straight away by locals and staff and quickly found out table which had been reserved for us. I personally would recommend the Doombar for any real ale lovers it was an excellent pint. Their was plenty on the menu and for our mains we both ordered the Lamb Shank in a red wine and Rosemary sauce, with new potatoes and veg, it was outstanding, very tasty, the veg wasn’t over cooked and delicious, we could not fault the service, in all we had a good night and a lovely meal. If you are driving here try and find the best way in as the lanes leading up to the pub are treacherously tight, the lady at the bar said you could park above the pub somewhere and walk down to it. It’s probably best to plot beforehand, it’s not impossible to get to the car park (we did) but for nervous drivers it’s tight and worrying if someone comes in the opposite direction. Don’t let it put you off, it’s a great little pub.

Good range of food to choose from being Vegetarian, friendly staff, nice views from the pretty garden.

Wonderful evening at this traditional English pub. The owner gave great recommendations for both food and local beer and cider. The food was tasty with generous portion sizes. It was raining so we sat inside but the outdoor courtyard looks very inviting. The owner and staff were friendly , interesting and gave local tips and recommendations which were most welcome.

Absolutely yummy! A small but delicious menu - so glad we stumbled across this place :) definitely recommend

Visited for evening meal last Friday. Very friendly staff and good tasty food at a reasonable price.

Lovely little country pub looking over a beautiful remote cotswolds valley. Food was great and staff really friendly and helpful. Idyllic.

En primer lugar, nos gusta el área, es como el Señor de los Anillos por aquí: campos de casas de piedra, etc.

Apart from it being difficult to find, this pub is a gem of a place. We had baguettes + light bites and all very happy

Este encantador pub local era exactamente lo que buscábamos, pero pensamos que nunca lo encontraríamos. Cerveza y comida absolutamente brillantes servidas en el jardín más encantador e idílico. Está fuera de los caminos trillados y, obviamente, no está marcado, pero recomendaría encontrarlo. Fantástico.

We called in for a drink during a walk with our two dogs. The beer was good. The pub has a lovely garden at the front with a nce view across the countryside. It would be lovely in the summer. It was lucky that we didn't get there earlier because dogs are not welcome when food is being served. Service had just ended so we were allowed in . This is a shame because we might have come back another time to eat. It is very unusual in the Cotswolds for dogs not to be welcome at all times in a pub. Even the fancy gastro pubs and most cafes allow dogs. So sadly we won't be back.

A haven of a pub overlooking a wild Cotswold valley and serving a vegan Sunday lunch! Real vegan gravy and the best nut roast home-cooked with lots of local vegetables and served by lovely people, a joyful Sunday afternoon, thank you!

Found this pub as the starting point of a walk listed in a booklet- and what a find! Lovely country pub with garden. Had the baguettes , two of us had prawn mayo and son in law had sausage and onion - all came with side salad, all lovely and fresh! A credit to the landlords had to be the cleanest toilets ever including spotless baby changing facilities! We will be back!!

Stayed in France Lynch for a few nights and was pleasantly surprised to find this pub in walking distance. Although I was an obvious tourist, people were kind and welcoming and the beers were great.

Went into the kings head for lunch after doing the circular country walk. We had a baguette which was very nice with a good filling. I also had a pint of Stroud ale very good pint. Staff were very friendly .

Beautiful setting in the village of France Lynch. I had high hopes for the food but I was a little disappointed. I ordered pork tenderloin which was tough. My husband had the fish and chips which were nice.

Just returned from a fabulous 2 night break in the loft which is in the grounds of the King's Head Pub. From the time we arrived we were made to feel so welcome.

A charming, friendly pub with welcoming service. We enjoyed the local pale ale - Budding - with two fantastic bacon and brie baguettes. Crispy, good quality bacon on crusty granary with a fresh side salad and vinaigrette. Very good value and would definitely recommend for a hearty meal in this beautiful area.

Went to the Kings Head with a friend and decided to eat whilst we were there. Saw other diners food coming out and decided to try the Prawn baguette option. It arrived quickly at the table having been booked by hailing the waitress on her way back to the kitchen. Brown torpedo rolls arrived stuffed with prawn mayonaise and the rolls had been warmed as well. Dish arrived with a dressing of mixed sald leaves with a vinigraite on the leaves. The ensemble was simply wonderful for the price at the time of £5.50 I think. Great atmosphere as well and a good pint of real ale to partner the food Stroud Budding bitter in fact.

Was very disappointed to have paid for our room through a booking.com site only to find the owner does not acknowledge that payment, therefore forced to pay twice and then my problem to get my money back, i guess this flavoured my review of the place, when we found a noisy toilet maserator in the room did not help,,The place is nice the rooms clean and tidy, manager seems a nice chap however i thought i had paid for bed & breakfast so was double disappointed to find breakfast not included, ,was a last minute booking searching for b&b; near stroud so i should have done more research ,, hey ho will not go again

My partner and I visited this pub on Friday evening as we were staying in France Lynch. I am so glad we chose to walk to the local and not drive further afield to the pub that we were recommended! From the cute fairy lights outside to the cosy little feel inside, this place is perfect! Proper cotswolds countryside pub! The building is beautiful, the people are friendly and helpful and the food, well.. that was something I'd expect in a restaurant! Certainly not 'pub grub' at all!

The King's Head is a great example of what an modern day English pub should be. A selection of local beers, a good, varied menu, good service,Cotswold locals recruited from Central Casting, a relaxed atmosphere, NO music, and good value for money. If it is up for sale I suggest the locals club together and buy this brilliant local asset.

Never having visited the Kings Head before, I chose it as the lunchtime destination for up to 29 runners/walkers helping me to celebrate my 69th birthday. Pat was both friendly and practical in making the arrangements to serve pre-ordered baguettes and fries to our group...

I was staying close by and came down for dinner each night. Everyone was friendly and made me very welcome. The menu isn't large but plenty of variety and every meals was great. The friendly atmosphere added to my enjoyable evenings chatting with the locals.

went in for some lunch with a couple of friends seven of us in all, real ale was first class Wye valley at its best, we all had baguettes with either a salad or chips the food came out very quickly and was a excellent...

Set down narrow lanes in France Lynch this 100 year old pub is the real deal as a genuine English village pub. Small and cosy. Very friendly and welcoming patrons and staff. The beer was excellent draft and the food a very high standard.

Nuevamente visitamos este pub durante las últimas vacaciones en el Cotswold y no nos decepcionó. Siempre nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos y la comida y la bebida es siempre excelente. Bien merece una visita si estás en la zona.

Tenemos unos amigos que son locales en este pub, y fueron invitados a unirse a ellos para comer el domingo. Claramente aislada, sin pasar el comercio, nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos por la gente y me gustó el ambiente agradable. Un pub tradicional y un creciente rareza como muchos cerca, nunca vuelve a abrir.

Real pubs are hard to find but this lovely Cotswold pub is worth the effort. In a quiet setting, the atmosphere is friendly, there is a garden with superb views and the beer is well kept. The food is also good and not expensive.

We came for a wedding and 4 of us stayed here for long weekend . We had everything we needed. The loft was very well appointed, comfortable, and with lovely views over the valley. Pat had left food for our breakfast and we had a very good "pub grub" meal on the Friday night . If we had stayed longer we would have walked in the beautiful countryside right next to the pub. It's a lovely village, and a little off the beaten track so quite peaceful and not full of tourists. The roads through the village are VERY narrow, but with care a car can be driven right to the pub. There are lots of good places to visit a short drive away and wonderful walks from the pub itself. I would definitely recommend this as a holiday apartment. Thank you Pat.

A little gem in the Cotswold hills beautiful location good English pub with English ales excellent food and friendly staff. great accommodation in a separate apartment. Mick and Pat are excellent hosts lovely atmosphere and some good music gets played there well worth the trouble to find it.

Stopped here after going for a walk with the dogs, we ordered fish and chips and sat outside in the garden with the dogs. Lovely meal that came very quickly. Lady offered us a bowl of water for the dogs, very pretty gardens, with awning to cover if it rains. Would go again for food.

On a business trip with a colleague and we had a lot to discuss. We were pointed in the unlikely direction of this pub. It turned out to be a small jewel. Not easy to get to but a warm welcome and a great choice of beers helped get us relaxed. The pub is fairly basic in its decor but has great charm. Everything beautifully clean. The menu was traditional but had some original touches.We both chose the fish and chips which turned out to be great. The fish was fresh and beautifully cooked. We sat in the garden to eat and the food arrived hot in a few minutes.Lovely staff who paid attention to the customers. A place for the locals that welcomes strangers. If you are travelling with foreign visitors this is the place to show them what a pub should be.

made welcome on a busy night. Food and service was faultless. Small menu but nonetheless there was good choices suiting most. Good choice of ales and wines.

Very good friends and we are part of the family known them for many many years we did help them move into the excellent pub and to and never change it as a drinking establishment & pub food which is second to none well done pat&mikeDave &yvonne

We loved it here! It was a beautiful authentic English pub in design. Unfortunately it was raining when we went (although it made for a cosy meal inside) but we would love to return when it is sunshine as the views and the garden were beautiful. The food was delicious and all the staff were friendly and helpful!

Been there a couple times before but enjoyed this time most. It was quiet and staff and locals were all friendly. Just what's expected

Sirloin steak, chips and vegetables along with Thai curry all cooked well with good serviceSurprised to see Doombar had ran out and not available until the following day.

Regularly on a Sunday we head off in our classic Triumph to nowhere in particular - just pottering about: this is how we stumbled across this hidden gem a couple of years ago. Nestled in the hillside, down a very narrow lane, but with a not-huge car park, it has a lovely sheltered garden with complete countryside outlook. We had a baguette meal each (ordering different choices & sharing), it was superb. Consequently we have been back numerous times since, seemingly approaching from different parts of the higgledy piggledy village each time! We always have a baguette,the Doombar is served to perfection and the wine served in a high quality glass.Our last visit, we took a chance on Mother's Day and although busy, we managed to claim an alcove table, as it was just a little chilly for the garden. Many customers appeared to be locals, the service was, as always friendly and professional and the atmosphere warm and welcoming.If I had reviewed this pub last year it would have had 1 star less because of the tired unwelcoming toilets, however the newly built ladies and gents were just what it needed.

Ate fish chips and peas for £8.95 but the fish had more batter than fish. Lots of chips and peas though.

The food was delicious and a great price. Very generous servings. The landlady was polite and the interior was warm and inviting.

We were a party of 18 that visited the Kings Head at the weekend, while visiting the area over the weekend. What a lovely characterful pub we found! The staff were very friendly and so accommodating of our large party. We ordered a variety of meals that all came out in good time – excellent fayre and portions – including five different veg with the roasts! Really good food for a really good price. The hosts were very friendly and did everything they could to assist us. An idyllic spot, a great find and totally recommended!

Pat and Mike couldn't have been more welcoming. We stayed at their apartment next door to the pub and it was perfect. Lovely views from the apartment with private garden and balcony, kitchen and open lounge area. It was perfect for two couples (or equally a family of four).The pub food was lovely and the atmosphere friendly and cosy. All round an amazing little pub and accommodation. What a find!

A great little find in an out of the way place. We were strangers but were welcomed with open arms in the friendliest pub we have ever been to. Pat behind the bar could not have been more helpful in finding out information for us, even making phone calls and sending a text message to help us contact a local regular. We are jealous of the residents of France Lynch for having such a warm and friendly "local" and wish we could take it home to Australia with us. M&D Hale

We were a large family group. We all had Sunday roasts of varying descriptions...pork, beef, vegetarian and even vegan (vegan requested in advance, everything else off the standard menu). Everyone was very happy with their meals, definitely the best Sunday lunch we've had in the area. Nice touches included pork crackling served with pork, and special smaller portions for children and elderly people with smaller appetites.The pub itself is a traditional Cotswold pub- nothing fancy, but still nice. But it is in a lovely spot, so I imagine it is great in the summer when you can eat outside. We'll definitely return.

I took my In-Laws to this pub to see if they liked it as much as my wife and I did last year. They loved it. The Sunday Roast dinner was excellent (advisable to book) but it's also just a comfortable Cotswold pub to go into if you just want a drink in comfortable surroundings.

Went for a meal based on some TA reviews and were very pleased we did. Delightful pub tucked away and down a VERY narrow road. Park at the top and walk down. The welcome, the locals and the staff were all very warm and friendly and the food very good indeed and well priced. All in all a very good experience and recommended. Worth the effort to find it.

We're in this area of the Cotsowlds for a month and have visited The Kings Head three times so far: twice for Sunday dinner, and once for drinks. It's the real deal! With the exception of us, there's not a tourist in sight and the locals couldn't be more friendly and welcoming (and that includes the innkeepers). The second time we arrived, we were treated like old friends. The pub itself is like something from a movie set - but not overdone like some of the more tourist-oriented places. You can sit at the bar, at a cozy table inside, or at one of the picnic tables outside when the weather is good. Each time we've come, there has been a good-sized crowd eating and drinking and we've been encouraged to join in the conversations over a pint or glass of wine (both reasonably-priced).Our meals have also been totally enjoyable! We celebrated my husband's birthday there, and being vegetarians, we ordered the vegetarian Wellington. It was delicious - as good as anything we'd get in our food-focused home town of San Francisco. We will return again before we leave, and we recommend The Kings Pub to anyone who isn't afraid to get off the Tourist Track and experience a genuine English country pub, complete with friendly people, good food and drink, and an authentically-British atmosphere.

A real nice pub nice views good beer but spoilt by a barman who finds a smile the hardest thing to do. Such a shame please give him some customer service training

Mango shrimp starters and Thai fish curry to die for in a true family friendly atmosphere. Quiet, warm and welcoming place, well worth a visit.

Après 2 semaines en Angleterre, notre meilleur souvenir : notre séjour au Kings Head ! La qualité de son hébergement, nous y avons dormi comme des loirs, le charme de son cadre, les petites attentions de Pat pour nous faciliter notre quotidien mais surtout l’accueil que nous avons reçu, chaleureux et amical, et que dire du concert du lundi soir, que du plaisir ! Nous aurions presque envie de garder cette adresse que pour nous car une seule idée en tête : Y retourner !

The atmosphere in this pub is a delight. It is a lovely pub in a quiet location. The bottle of Proseco we ordered was served correctly and tasted very good. It was also a great price at £16.50p. However a meal out is more than the atmosphere and the wine. I can get that at home. The food did not go well. I ordered a very rare steak and my other half ordered a medium steak. I was served a medium steak and she was served a rare steak. I only like steak when it is rare. There was no ok check so I had to actually go to the bar to make my complaint. A very polite man came to the table who I presume to be the owner/chef. He apologized for the problem, blamed the waitress and offered to make the meal again. As this would have put the meal completely out of sync I refused his offer and he said I did not have to pay for the course. As both meals had been served incorrectly it would have been proper to charge for neither of the main courses, however I did not want to make any more of a scene so I did not complain further. We settled up finished the proseco and left. I am happy to go back for a drink but I will never eat there again.

My wife and I had just arrived for our short stay in France Lynch and thought we would have our evening meal at The Kings Head. We were told that although they were fully booked with a Golfing Club dinner they would be able to squeeze us in the bar area. Even though they were very busy our food arrived quickly and was excellent.We returned for lunch on New Years Day and again the food was first class as was the ale and wine. The pub is so comfortable and welcoming that we stayed a lot longer than we intended.A 'must visit' pub. Not so good if you've got plans later in the day though as you won't want to leave.

Great Sunday lunch as usual. Mixed meat, roast and boiled potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and five veg on a piping hot plate. Well done to Pat and Mike and all their helpers. Magic

Have eaten at this pub many times. It's in a really beautiful location and they serve the best vegetarian Sunday lunch on the planet. It's totally gorgeous. Fact.

We ate here when we stayed in a nearby B & B during our visit to the Cotswolds. We found this to be a charming little pub. It was very old but welcoming. It was frequented mainly by locals and has a limited menu but the food and service were great. It has a garden area and seating outside which would be good in the summer. It stocks a good range of local beers and wine. If you are in the area eat here. You will not be disappointed.

I can't believe I did this. I ordered a vegetarian meal. well, nearly. And it was excellent.What a great pub. Perched above the village of Chalford with its stone buildings and narrow lanes - leave the Rangerover at home - where one almost feels one has strayed into a corner of Cornwall. Not easy to find, one has to make a point of going there, but the combination of flourishing and hard to find, says it has to be good.The décor, too pretentious a word for this down to earth establishment, is typical olde pub, but in a good way. Pubby carpet, offwhite walls, beams, all a bit ramshackle and funky. Rather like being in a well worn sitting room. No muzak. No games machines. No tele. Bliss.There's a garden with both covered and uncovered seating. The staff, very welcoming. Decent choice of ales and ciders. Locals debating the Times crossword in the bar. It felt like a locals pub - no big boozy parties. Like a step into the past, and all the better for it.We went on Sunday. The menu is small, and all fresh. No huge list of 'specials' out of a freezer.Despite there being roast beef or pork on offer, wife and I both had Nut Wellington, which came piping hot with vegetarian or meat gravy, and an excellent selection of vegetables including some super roast potatoes.Then chocolate orange sponge with ice cream, superb.And not expensive.There was no sense of being rushed, relaxed service, stayed 2 hours over our meal and a drink.Five stars.Will certainly go again.

Food was cooked to order, Gluten-free not a problem. Good range of real ales. Friendly locals. Busy on a Monday night with live musicians jamming. Difficult to find but well worth it.

Only went for a drink, but the staff were friendly and attentive. A lovely pub in the middle of an idyllic village. Quite busy for a Monday night with friendly locals. Would definitely visiit again, probbaly in the summer when I could sit outside - but away from the smokers who seem to congregate just outside the main door

The Kings Head is a fine pub. Not only because of the good selection of beers, really good wines and delicious food (the nut wellington at sunday lunch an absolute favorite!), but also because the local people make you feel so very welcome! This includes the landlord and landlady, Pat and Mike Duff. On a monday night, there is live music to enjoy and even to join in if wanted. We stayed for 12 days in the loft that they rent out at the premises and had the best time. A perfect view of the valley, a lovely private garden in which we enjoyed the sun every day. A view of the pub garden from our kitchen window and noise was never a problem. This is a pub you could walk in, all by yourself and find yourself having a great time because people connect (if you want) and the garden is lovely.We hope to go back there soon, because we certainly will! Roel & Joke from the Netherlands

My husband and I went here after reading some online reviews. Our high expectations were surpassed and the vegetarian roast was even more beautiful. It was excellent value for money, imaginative and sensitive to vegetarian considerations (a different vegetarian gravy was on offer). My husband (who is not vegetarian) enjoyed his meat roast though kept looking longingly at mine too. We wish we lived nearer as would definitely be regulars :) thank you for a lovely experience!

The Kings Head never disappoints; cosy in the winter and beautiful beer garden for the summer. Live music, excellent food and friendly, welcoming owners. What more could you ask for? A good selection of wine and beer? Oh yeah, they've got that too :-) Keep up the good work Pat and Mike.

Went to Kingshead at France Lynch yesterday Sunday 23rd February for Sunday roast .... Wow a proper vegetarian dinner cooked to perfection, no massaquared vegetables here just perfectly cooked Vegetarian Wellington and lush medeira gravy. Lovely atmosphere and very friendly owners and staff will be visiting again soon. About time a local Pub in the Stroud area catered for veggies with proper roast dinner have told loads of my veggie friends. Well done Kings Head my husband loved the roast potatoes .

This is a great local pub with very friendly staff and customers. Its a small pub with a large garden with great views. I especially like the music night on a Monday. The pub does a good Sunday lunch.

Have been coming to the Kings Head for over 10 years now, and can promise you its one of the finest in the regionFrom the friendly owners, Pat and Mike, to the stunning view down one of the Stroud Valleys, it really is a hidden gem. Great range of local ales, Doombar, Cornish, plus the usual lagers, and a good menu of freshly cooked food as well. Cater for vegetarians, my wife has indeed had many lunch and evening meals here. In particular their Sunday roast is excelllent, but suggest phoning up and booking as it does get busyVery family friendly with a small play area and one of the best beer gardens for miles around.Dogs welcome unless food is being servedSeek this wonderful venue out, you will not be disappointed!

It's always surprised me that in a town like Stroud where there are a large number of vegetarians it's almost impossible to get a decent veggie Sunday pub lunch. Brie and broccoli bake or vegetarian lasagne don't quite cut it when all around are enjoying their Sunday roast, but that's what is usually found on offer in most pubs in the area. The management of the Kings Head have obviously taken note of this as they provide exactly the same menu for veggies as for meat eaters, with the substitution of a delicious Nut and Mushroom Wellington instead of meat. All the other trimmings are the same, including roast potatoes, three or four veg, and a vegetarian Madiera gravy. Considering the fact that the normal Kings Head Sunday lunch is renowned, and that there are usually four real ales on offer, vegetarians would be daft to go anywhere else.

One of the few proper country pubs left.Independent concern, owned by a very independent landlord!!, real ales kept really wellNo jukebox or machines. Live music or nothing!!Monday night is open mic night produces some incredible local talent, young and old and extremely varied.Takes a little finding as the lanes that lead to this gem are very narrow, but be brave! it's worth it.You won't find any better value for food in Gloucestershire, especially Sunday lunches.
