Kings Head in Great Yarmouth

We have been in for a meal twice this holiday and the food is amazing home cooked food the chips are unbelievably delicious. The omelettes are big and amazing. Our boy is fussy on his food but he cleans his plate every time we go. Highly recommend if on holiday near here, So we went again last night for last meal of season and oh boy did it not fail, it was the best pie I’ve ever had in a pub and the chips were fantastic as always, staff really friendly, and service is excellent, shame it would be 6 hour round trip to come back in winter.

A lovely Sunday Roast, and treacle sponge pudding and chocolate fudge cake. Be back soon.

Always fresh food....nice place to dine

Lovely home cooked food at very reasonable prices and excellent service.

We recently visited this lovely pub for lunch. The staff were really friendly, the atmosphere was nice, and the food was really decent. I had the Red Thai Curry which was really nice, and the wife had the beef lasange which she loved. Deserts were only a fiver too. Really reasonable prices!

We have been coming here once a month throughout the summer season, amazing food every time, lovely staff too

Amazing home cooked food, amazing lovely staff that were very helpful will definitely be returning x

Fantastic service, fantastic food amazing value for money.

Excellent service ,great food .regards paul hilden

Perfect for some homemade food if you are staying in Hemsby.

Amazing place for food... arrive just as kitchen was closing for a lite bite baguette, food arrived and was more than light.. baguette was perfectly toasted with the bacon as we asked for it home made chips was more than on par also would highly recommend 👌

Can't say how wonderful our experience with this pub is. Food is amazing and very reasonably priced .... always! Staff are always pleasant and accommodating. Real Ale is excellent (3 different ones). If you want the 'absolute best' roast on a Sunday £6.95 or £8.95 + a choice of 4 meats - a word of advice Book a table. Thank you Kings Head and to all the staff xxxxxx

Neat lil small pub, horrible food.

Great food and friendly staff that are always willing to go the extra mile. I'm here quite often.

Have been here before for lunch and really enjoyed it. Lovely lady serving the food which was delicious and a really nice atmosphere. We went again this evening for dinner and unfortunately what a difference! Firstly the bar area was full of workmen, which isn't a problem whatsoever. The noise with shouting and laughing was extremely loud, which again wasn't a problem, although not really a pleasant atmosphere to eat in, nevertheless nothing against people enjoying themselves. The problem was we were very loudly regailed with racism, vulgar shouting and virtually every swear word continually, particularly from one of the men. We ate our food as fast as possible and left. On reflection we should have walked out straight away but initially thought they were just letting off some steam after work. Absolutely no consideration for other people in the pub and the bar staff, who were pleasant enough, did nothing to ask them to tone down the language and content so I guess it's a usual occurrence. I mix with people from everywhere, in all situations but that was very unpleasant tonight unfortunately.

Excellent food and service, fully enjoyed our evening, many thanks to the staff, will definitely be back

Excellent service for such a busy pub. Both bar staff were brilliant. Food was great and good value for money.

Been here many times and never had a problem my partner booked a table for 18.30 because she had been on a course all day and I had been at work all day and her parents had been looking after our dogs for us so as a thank you we told them we would treat them to a meal ordered 4 meals was told by the lady behind the bar there would be a short wait didn't think it would be a problem but 19.30 still no food so my partner asked the same lady how much longer the food would be as one of our people was diabetic she just shrugged her shoulders and walked away the lady in question had tattoos on her leg and had glasses on 19.45 we told her that we would have to take it away as it was to late to eat it then to be told by the same lady's that we should have booked earlier she was so rude and unprofessional as locals we will never go back again

It was so nice it came out quickly and it was the best homemade food i have had in a while from a restraunt

We were down in Norfolk for a family holiday and were recommended from our hotel to come here so glad we did . Food choice and service was excellent and such a lovely happy atmosphere . Such lovely customers very friendly . Will visit again when next in Norfolk .

"Youre wrong for not liking our food" the owner says 😂 absolutely horrendous way of treating customers that complain about being served on dirty dishes and terrible frozen food

We visited yesterday . Absolutely lovely meal. 4 people , 4 different meals. All cooked perfectly, hot & delicious. Will definitely visit again.

Just had a meal here was not impressed firstly my glass was disgusting so I paid for an orange juice that I wouldn’t drink we had starters which was probably the best bit of the meal I then had the ribs salad and chips husband had curry and rice all I can say is it’s a good job we had our starters because we both left our mains my ribs where only Luke warm the chips looked like old rewarmed chips my salad had some oil over it then was mixed with the bbq sauce from the ribs not nice to look at or pleasant to heat husband said the curry had a twang horrible after taste we did not stay for dessert The whole place had a strange odour of dog would not return

So, you want to go to a good honest pub, with great food, at a criminally low price?! The kings head, hemsby is the perfect place for you. We were made to feel so welcome by the bar staff, and can't wait to go back. Sadly, we were on holiday, and a three hour drive away 😢. Will definitely be back next year though, yay 😃!

Absolutely love the food here.its a hidden gem and real home cooked food. Proper chips too. Generous portions the best garlic bread with cheese. Lasagne to die for. Staff are so welcoming and friendly too. Definitely my favourite eating place in Norfolk !!!

Nice, average food. Not over priced.

Horrible food. Long waits Presented horribly, perhaps the only thing blonde hair sat nicely on the plate

Popped in to grab some lunch, but unfortunately we'd missed the lunch time cutoff. We stayed for a drink and it's sick a nice pub. Regulars are friendly and staff great. Would like to go back to try the food too. *** Edit: went back for luck today and we were not disappointed. I had the steak and it was goooood. Will certainly remember this pub. ***

Lovely meal, really enjoyed the homemade vegetable lasagne. Friendly staff. Reasonably priced. Definitely worth a visit ☺️

Always good food fair price Would recommend Definitely book for Sunday

We stopped in on our last night of our holidays - 2 adults, 2 teenagers, and 1 dog. Really lovely meal - portions were very generous and everything was cooked to perfection. The staff were very friendly and made all of us feel very welcome. This is a real gem of a pub and a perfect place for a tasty bite to eat.

We rolled up ,after going to the beach ⛱....Great pub and staff 👌 😎

Amazing food proper home cooked meals staff are all lovely customer service is above and beyond love this place want it to be my local 😀 ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Very friendly, good choice of food for adults and children.

Took a friend for Sunday roast as a birthday treat. I had lamb & she had pork. Thoroughly enjoyed by both.

Really lovely ladies serving and decent pub grub

Visited here recently. Husband had the steak and chips which were homemade and I had lasagne, garlic bread and a side of homemade chips. Absolutely piping hot, presented well and in good time. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. As a non-local visitor to the area we were made to feel so welcome. Thank you.

Lovely local pub with great staff.

What a gem of a place exerlant food and very reasonably priced .service was quick can't foot

Drove eight miles from Vauxhall camp site, as read the reviews and they looked good, on arriving at 7:50pm was told to order quickly as the chef finishes at 8:00pm, so ordered fish and chips, must Sat they was the worst I have ever had, wish I had gone to a chippy at Great Yarmouth now,

Great food and great atmosphere, with lovely staff and really good value. Ring ahead and book as it’s very popular.

Thank you kings head for such a great service at a wonderful pub . Booked along time in advance but wow it was so worth it . Already my children want to come back . Recommend the homemade chicken curry . Thank you for making us so welcome . It made a lovely birthday treat .

we love it here always busy which says a lot. staff are really friendly and can't do more for you. puddings are to die for especially the waffles. Lovely to see dogs are also welcome

This Family run Pub is brilliant great atmosphere great staff great food

Very uninvited we walked in and was told fully booked— and there were empty tables m, was just 2 of us

Lovely little pub. Good outside seating. Lovely home made food!!

Lovely friendly atmosphere with great staff. Meals were excellent. Highly recommend this place 👌

Went for dinner on monday night. 5 adults 1 child and the dog... Lovely ppl, very welcoming.. Food was lovely, totally recommended home made chicken curry, was lovely. All food was great standard and the portion size great value. Thank you

Outstanding food and great prices.

Didn’t eat, but what we saw looked amazing. Staff excellent, very accommodating with kids and pram

First time and maybe go again. Had homemade chilli served with tortilla chips and rice plus a side salad ( added dressing) not a fan of dressing on my salad so left it. Rather a tight area to sit in and a group behind were rather loud. Had a wait for food but was informed prior so no Biggie. Return visit in May 2024, had the chilli again but managed to also eat a fruit pudding and custard.

Amazing food and very well priced. We love the roast dinners and the homemade pies. Always a lovely warm friendly atmosphere too. Very child friendly and pet friendly too. Can't wait to go back again.

Only had a drink very friendly and reasonably priced

Food was really good for the price (5 Adults and 2 children = £75) and service was quick and friendly

Picked a pub out of the air for Sunday roast and what a choice. Friendly, sports bar orientated pub, nice crowd and friendly staff. My wife and I only wanted the roast beef but were spoilt for choice with lamb, turkey or pork as other options. The beef was delicious with a healthy portion of veg, it reminded us of good home cooking and at a price that wasn’t going to break the bank. Worth every penny and looking forward to future returns.

First time here great food plentiful and hot will definitely come again great place for us and our greyhound to dine out at very clean advisable to book

Called into this pub tonight the meal was delicious 😋 service was excellent what a lovely pleasant lady working tonight 5* every one in the pub made us feel so welcomed. Highly recommend this lovely local pub.👋👋👋

Traditional village pub. Didn't eat so can't comment on that, but had a lovely couple of hours here drinking.

Second time we have been here whilst visiting for the weekend to Hemsby Beach, the food is always amazing and the owner went out of her way to open the kitchen and make food for us as we missed the service time as the kitchen closes 15:00-17:00. Really pleased she did as we love the home cooked food. Thank you 🌟

Friendly staff. Very good pub food. Had a toastie and it came with chips and salad.

The food was really tasty ! The staff friendly and the atmosphere exactly what you would expect from a village pub! Bonus was it is dog friendly and everyone in there loves dogs. Would highly recommend !

Great food, great staff and lovely atmosphere

Best Sunday roasts in Norkolk Generous portions home style food and including a coke less than a tenner! First class service from the staff too. Four visits always same quality Highly recommended

Very good place. Great food. Very low prices. Comfy bar with wood burning stove. Book for Sunday lunch. We’ll come again good food choices. Good staff happy if you are picky. I only wanted lettuce and cucumber in salad. No problem. Worthy of 5 stars

Best pub in the area, real good atmosphere and very good entertainment 👌

Not very warm regardless they had fires.

Fabulous local with a super friendly staff. Food was very good too, even had a doggy Sunday lunch! Well worth a visit 😉

Great food love this pub 😀 👌 👍 😉 😄 😜

Very few good pubby type pubs left in this area, but, this really is one! Very reasonable prices, good variety of menu choices, good selection of beers, friendly, and most of all excellent value for money! If you can't find something to eat on the menu, you are worse than me! Only one small criticism, because it is so good, when it is busy, service can be just a little slow, is it worth the wait? Yes!

A very nice pub, friendly staff, good menu choices and service is quick even at busy times - delicious too!

My husband and I popped in for dinner with our little dog after a day at Holkham beach. The staff and clientele were very welcoming and made our dog feel very special! 😀 We had the chicken, leek and mushroom pie with chips and it was extremely flavourful and delicious! Our dog had some sausages which he thoroughly enjoyed! It’s a shame we’re only staying in the area for a few days, as we’d happily come here every evening! Thank you for taking such great care of us!

We were treated to a meal by very good family friends

called in today 1st time good service .good food home made chips a plus for sure .one gripe salad had dressing dont like mine with any on shame you could have saved money and waste i only ate a little ,re booked for sunday lunch in a few weeks looking forward to it ,keep up good work

Four of us for Sunday Dinner. Great food

Was initially worried as it advertised sky sports etc. But the tvsi were on quite or silent and it wasn't intrusive. The food was very well presented and tasty. The pub was clean and modern. Staff very cheery and attentive. Very good value for good and drinks.

Nice local pub. Not a big selection of food on the menu but we chose the homemade chilli with rice, waffles with ice cream and fruit pie with custard. Very reasonably priced and decent sized portions. Food tasted good.

It's a great place for food and a great selection of beers. Very friendly staff and people are happy to have time for a conversation. All in all a very nice place.

The food was excellent and the portions were good, very pleasant evening. Service excellent, would go again soon.

Had an amazing roast dinner today. The most dog friendly pub I have ever been to.

Great little pub and lovely very good priced food

My ‘Go to’ place for food, drinks and atmosphere. From the locals to those that run the pub, they’re all fantastic. Incredibly reasonably priced too. Always new local ales on rotation as well as your favourite household names for lagers. What makes this place stand out from the rest? It’s dog friendly!!

Food was lovely small portions but tasted great but the service from the guy behind the bar sarcastic and sharp like chill out buddy we all hot get yourself a fan behind the bar and try a little better customer service 👍

I have been calling in the kings head every year ( when open ) since 1975. The frontage is still very similar a few changes inside of course. Garden still a nice place and the beer was very reasonably price. Lots of sports TV if that's what you like. This latest visit was this year 1st week in June, mid week and mid afternoon this is where the negative bit of this review comes. There was a old builder type sat at the bar with his mate, his mate was talking about fast fords but the builder type was swearing his head off ranting about gays and migrants I wouldn't of thought that was a problem in hemsby. Yes you can call it bar talk but it lowers the standards of the proprietors who clearly looking at the reviews are trying there best. Hopefully it was a one off.

First time we have been to the Kings Head what a great village pub the food was excellent and great value for money keep up the good work we will be returning 👍

Good beer, good food, good atmosphere

Lovely welcoming village pub with a garden overlooking fields, live sports on TV and really good value for money home-cooked style food. Regular menu and Specials board with a very accommodating welcome from this family-run pub. Dogs and children are welcome too. We’ve been several times now and can’t fault it. We will be regularly visiting for the foreseeable!

we have come to Hemsby for a holiday! we wanted to find a local family pub! Lovely people friendly atmosphere, dog friendly, food is amazing and they adapt to your needs would highly recommend this restaurant.

A good village pub restaurant seem very popular but I haven't tried it yet looked at menu seems to be reasonably priced and wholesome

Lovely evening, relaxing and pleasant

Absolutely amazing food. Mother in law was still talking about it an hour later!

Nice place to stop for some reasonably priced food. Family that run the place very very friendly. Great selection of food. Lots of specials

Such a beautfull hidden gem, beautifull food and staff were amazing. Very happy with the food and service we received and very much a lovely evening to spend the last day of our holiday. Staff are very polite and happy to help with any enquiry. We desided to call and book ahead with just an hour's notice on a Friday and got so lucky. We sat outside with a beautfull view, Most defently will be returning when we come back.

What s little gem. Had a Roadt dinner to die fir, 6 veg loads of meat and roasting well worth the £8.95 per head !! What value and so ao tasty thank-you

Food was very tasty and a great price!

Friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere, good food. Bada bing Bada boom !

Called in through the week for evening meal. Which was fresh hot and delicious. While there booked for Sunday lunch. The meal was just like home Sunday roast with a choice of meats. The atmosphere was lovely and friendly and staff couldn’t do enough. The dessert menu was also good but especially the ginger cake and custard which was yummy! Overall a very pleasant experience.
