King's Head Inn in Suffolk Coastal

So disappointed, booked online, but when we got there they didn’t have our booking but not a problem they found us a table, we ordered nachos to start for a sharer which wasn’t too bad but our mains was awful I had sausages with bubble and squeak, I had to send it back because it was cold and all in all I just only eat one out of the three Sausages because they were quite tough and the bubble and squeak well it was edible. The sister pub the Wilfred Bridge you cannot fault it, maybe I should’ve just gone there.

We have returned from an excellent dinner for 6 of us. The food, service and atmosphere were excellent. It was our first visit since the Deben Inns having taken over ownership. We would throughly recommend this establishment ..Thank you so much..

We had a fantastic evening at the Kings Head in Woodbridge, enjoying an excellent range of high quality food with incredibly conscientious & friendly staff looking after our table throughout the evening. I would highly recommend a visit to this excellent venue.

Very disappointing visit. Was practically ignored on arrival. Food was very much below par and overpriced for what it was. Have always liked deben inns and have always been very impressed with the maybush, pin mill and the swan but won’t be going back to the kings head Woodbridge any time soon.

This is a fantastic place, highly recommended, fantastic staff, all of our friends coming here and only here!! We won't stop coming back

Nice pub , some outside seating and a very inviting bar . The restaurant area is cosy and full of character too. Staff were very friendly and helpful, the menu was varied and the food delicious. Parking nearby was tricky when we went but we will definitely go back

2nd visit in 6mths . Manager was so helpful - Great service, great food. All food was perfect and arrived together . Will return thankyou

We visited on a Sunday for dinner, recommend reserving a table in advance if you're a big group. Some outdoor seating front and back and seating inside including several large tables. This place has definitely seen some improvement recently with a revised menu offering better choices and the food we had was all good quality. We did find the service a bit hit and miss with plenty of people around several asking if our food was okay, but then none returning after we asked for menus or to pay. So service needs to improve a bit but I would still recommend.

What can I say, have eaten as this pub serval times and every single time I’ve been super impressed. Lovely friendly staff, great selection and local brewed stuff to sink down the food.

Had a small fish platter , asked if I could have no bread but extra salad instead . It was no problem and when the platter came out I thought I’d mistakingly been given the bigger one ! I hadn’t . Absolutely the best value for money platter in the area , everything was so fresh . The staff were so helpful and I’m looking for a reason to come back very soon .

Was able to turn up and get a table on a Sunday afternoon, despite the place being fairly busy. Staff were really friendly and there was a lovely cozy atmosphere. The food was delicious and plenty of it! We couldn’t manage desert. Would definitely return and try other Debden Inns.

Very welcoming on a busy Sunday lunch with no reservation. All staff were so friendly and helpful. The menu was very reasonably priced and portion size generous. Great service throughout. Will definitely return.

Great meal,we had the souvlaki, the meat was lovely, tender & lean. Friends had pork & apple burgers, they were good too.

Took my mother to the Kings Head for a Sunday roast. We both had the sirloin of beef and it was amazing. There was very generous portion of beef some gorgeous red cabbage honey glazed carrots, plenty of potatoes and the most enormous Yorkshire pudding with very lovely Jus. I couldn’t finish mine. The staff are lovely and attentive and happy to assist with anything. Highly recommend.

Lovely breakfast at the Kings Head this morning. Amazing food and staff. I will definitely be going back. Highly recommend.

Went to the king head in Woodbridge for breakfast It was a ready ready good breakfast and hats off to the chef and table service was really really good also

The kings head offers a lovely breakfast with good quality food. Will definitely be back to try out the evening menu. Brilliant service we didn’t have to wait to be seen and drinks were taken very promptly.

Despite booking a table upon arrival no table was available, staff had to ask a gentleman to move so a table near the bar could be utilised. This was not idea as bar was very busy and people were constantly knocking into my chair. Drinks order was taken but no drinks appeared, after about 15 minutes we were asked if we were ready to order but had not yet been given a menu! After another 15 minutes still no drinks or no order taken, we decided to leave. Obviously they were suffering from a staff shortage but we would not have minded waiting if we had been given a proper table in the restaurant section.

I’ve lived in Woodbridge for 20 years and this pub has always been in the top three pubs in Suffolk for me. The more recent times I’ve been the staff have been incredibly warm and welcoming. Will always anticipate a pub crawl, start here, and end up not leaving till they shut! Highly recommend if you’re visiting Woodbridge as it’s in the town centre and easily accessible!

We decided to visit after Deben Inns had bought this establishment. We were pleasantly surprised by the appearance of the restaurant as well as the lovely staff that greeted us. Throughout, the food was sublime and cantered perfectly for my dairy allergy as well as the staff being attentive, friendly yet professional. Will definitely be visiting again very soon.

Excellent food. Great selection. Salmon dish very tasty. Only objection was the wait staff. Had to find them to place even drinks order. And then to order food. Will return because food Excellent. Service will hopefully improve.

Great atmosphere, excellent staff, very friendly & welcoming, fantastic chef too... I had the most amazing roast... gf gravy and gf Yorkshire pudding with a side order of gf cauliflower cheese. It was the best roast dinner I have had in a very long time, I'll definitely go back again. If you download the Deben Inn app.. you can see all the special offers... today after 6pm, the roast was only £10.. Fantastic value.

My wife and I enjoyed a fantastic Sunday lunch at The Kings Head. We shared the homemade prawn crackers with sweet chilli sauce to start; they were served warm and absolutely scrummy. The roasts - one beef, one pork belly - were exceptional. The amount of meat (and gravy) was very generous, and everything was cooked to perfection. The pub is definitely all the better for the takeover by Deben Inns. We’ll be back very soon!

We had a lovely time here. We've often had lunch at the Kings Head but not dinner. Our son was visiting so we went on a Saturday evening. They were very accommodating. Menu was good with lots of choice. Our son had the squid to start with and said it was the best he'd ever tasted. Husband and I shared some bread as we didn't want starters. The bread was delicious - 3 different types and loads of it. My son and I both had steaks for our main course. They were cooked to perfection and really tasty. I didn't have a starter as I knew I'd be too full to manage my main course if I did, but I couldn't manage all the delicious chips as I'd had too much bread! The staff were lovely and attentive, despite being run off their feet. The only downside for us is that there was a band playing, so it was very noisy. The band was good, but our dog was a bit freaked. If I'd known there was going to be a band I'd have left the dog at home and booked a table in the (dog free) restaurant area not the bar. I'm so glad Deben Inns took this pub over, they've retained all the best bits about it. We are so lucky to have this within a 15 minute walk from us

We were very happy with the lovely venue and delicious buffet that you provided on Jan 12th for our family get-together. Everything was just as we hoped for, and all the arrangements were carried out with flexibility, professionalism and respect. The whole family commented very favourably on the freshly prepared and beautifully presented food, as well as the venue and ease of parking. I'd definitely recommend The King's Head for a private function and buffet.

Took friends in for lunch, and our two dogs, lovely welcome from Harriett and Lilly, great service, fabulous food from the new menu, and dog treats for Mable and Lydia, recommend

We have had three meals at the pub since it changed hands. The inside is much brighter and very welcoming. The outside area is great for larger groups on a Friday evening in good weather. We think the staff are very welcoming, the food is good and though some drinks might be a tad more expensive than elsewhere we enjoy the very good house wine with fish and chips - especially when it is two 4 one fish and chips on a Friday evening. It is great to have a good local back in town,

What a difference from when Adnams ran it.....Such a good pint in this pub, you can tell the lines are clean and there's good turnover. The staff are so friendly Eleanor the manager is amazing!

Stopped by for Lunch & Drinks, glad we did, food were excellent, definitely recommend a visit, one waitress "Elena" was great.

Customer service seemed satisfactory to begin with today (Fri 3 Nov) and the barman friendly. I ordered and paid for a vegetable chilli and a drink, not cheap at £17.20, sat down and waited. And waited and waited and waited! There were only a few people in the pub, about seven or eight. After thirty minutes, I approached a different barman who had just taken over and questioned where my order was. He didn’t seem to understand the till system and after saying maybe I had ordered a takeaway (where was it then?!!), he proceeded to try to charge me for the drinks second time! He didn’t bother going into the kitchen to see what had happened. I pointed out that I had already paid and that the couple sitting near the bar, both with a chilli meal almost finished, had sat down quite a time after me. His comment was: “that’s the CEO”!! How unprofessional that this pub looks after its staff but not its patrons. Very very shoddy and no skills in how to deal with the situation - I would have expected a full refund as an apology. I have never experienced such behaviour in the other Deben Inns. Some serious training needed rather than the CEO sitting around eating with the staff whilst customers go unserved.

Great pint, Harriet served us who was lovely 😊 Atmosphere was great and will definitely return!!!!!

Great atmosphere and service. Eleanor and Harriet went out of their way to help with our menu choice. Chicken with black pudding bubble and squeak vegetables and delicious gravy. Would highly recommend a visit

Brilliant Breakfast got better, we have been coming here for Breakfast recently and found it to be excellent. When we first started coming the beans were not the best and the tea pots were only half full and the sausages were not quite browned but they listen to feed back here and now the Beans are delicious, Hot Drinks are free refills and the Sausages are browned perfectly. The things that we’re always good are that this is a Gluten Free Breakfast where you actually get Sausages, there is ample seating inside and out, the staff are very attentive and most importantly the Breakfast is tasty and good value. Well done we will keep coming here for our Sunday Breakfast

We were staying at the moon and sixpence caravan park with friends and decided to go into Woodbridge, visited a few pubs but decided to eat in the king's head. Service was amazing by Harriet and colleagues. Food was delicious and they were very helpful. Will be back soon

It’s mid-week and none of the other places to eat were serving food just after 3pm but The Kings Head were open and ready to offer some delicious food to keep us going. Apparently this is under new ownership and the staff were amazing, so friendly and accommodating. Thoroughly recommended .

We visited The King’s Head for a late lunch on a Sunday. They fitted us in at short notice and the service was excellent! Dog friendly and even provided treats. Food was delicious! Highly recommended!

Having heard Deben Inns recently have taken over this pub we were eager to go and try having always had a good experience with this group of pubs. The roasts were very well presented and delicious! I liked the touch of a puree on them as well as a selection of vegetables. The waiting staff very friendly and attentive. A nice balanced menu with a great selection of drinks. Well done from us!

Came here for drinks and dinner on a Tuesday evening. Greeted by friendly staff. This pub has just become part of the Deben inn group. Nice warm ambience inside. Ordered food which arrived promptly. Nice pate starter, following by a pulled pork burger. Both very good. Drinks are a little pricey, but food is reasonably priced. Pub has some seating at the front and a beer garden at the rear.. pub and toilets were clean. Certainly will return.

Lovely place with super friendly staff and locals! Our puppy got lots of attention! Great pint of Adnams Southwold which always goes down well

Very nice Pub, good serice Drinks were very good, nice location, will be back for sure, well worth a visit.

Drinks very overpriced as unfortunately deben inns are. Over 13pounds for a cider and glass of wine. Love the pub, always enjoyed it but at those prices will keep to the other woodbridge pubs.

We popped in this afternoon for a quick pint. We asked for a cheeky portion of chips, even though they had just stopped serving. The chef kindly agreed to do us some chippies. We pushed our luck a tad further by asking for some nachos...

Stopped by for drinks and enjoyed the views of the Market Square, a nice place to relax, drinks and service were good.

We were staying on a houseboat in Woodbridge, and found this lovely pub on our first day exploring this historic town. It sits proudly at the top of the hill on the town square, and has a wonderful exterior that just evokes history & charm....

We had the pie and mash that was unbelievable delish and the lamb shank was soo tasty and tender.highly recommends

This is a beautiful late 15th century grade II listed timber framed pub, so has bags of character and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. The staff are super friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious, beautifully presented, and hearty portions. I had fish and chips...

We had booked a table but it turned out to be a very quiet lunch service as there were only two other tables in. Good menu to cater for most people including vegetarian and vegan. Dog and child friendly. Lovely 15th century charm with open...

We had a delicious meal in this very attractive, unspoiled pub, sat in front of a large open log fire. Lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff. Thoroughly recommended.

Wonderful friendly family run pub. Very traditional and looked amazing with all the Christmas decorations Gemma was amazing. She was very helpful explaining the menu to us. And made sure we were happy with our choices This is a great pub. Well done to all...

I do love a steak and kidney pudding, one of my favourites but I do like one with some actual steak and kidney in it! I suppose that’s not fair as there was a couple of bits in there but they were chewy and I...

Lovely traditional pub, with a bit of a local vibe, sat in front of the fire, ordered scampi not the hugest portion but fine came with loads of skinny fries and a very nicely dressed salad, hubby went for steak and kidney pudding and it...

Had a few pints here with mates and ordered the nachos with cheese and guac. They tasted incredible. Would return, just for the food!

Come here for an evening meal after ending uo in Woodbridge. There was a good atmosphere, nice veggie food and great beer. None of which broke the bank. What is there not to like?

I booked the Kings Head Woodbridge for 6pm car park closed very hard to park in road,food OK but wasn't impressed with toddlers running round pub climbing on benches & the mother vapeing in pub with signs saying smoke outside yet wasn't told to go...

Lovely pub with an open fire. Adnams ales and really good food. I had home made steak and kidney pudding which was large and delicious. Mash, lots of well cooked veg and plenty of gravy. My wife had home made cajun chicken thigh meat burger.

Delicious Sunday roast today. Arrived as a walk in at 1 pm And were promptly shown to a table and served with drinks. The staff were so friendly and efficient and it showed that they really enjoyed their jobs. I had the roast pork and...

Having survived the Covid restriction was good to be back to a normal pub evening. Staff were pleasant and welcoming, good choice of food all served promptly and good quality. Well done and keep it up!

nice pub to sit outside or in the beer garden, situated in the square at Woodbridge so pleasant surroundings. Staff very pleasant and the food looked good from what we could see, the only thing was the price of the beer as we paid £4.80...

Another satisfying dinner and superb Adnams Ghostship ale. Less than 20 mins walk from our hotel so it was very convenient.

Now been to the King's Head twice on a Thursday night which is usually a lively night and on both occasions it's been completely soulless. Last orders were called at 9.30pm! What's that about? A group of what looked like students walked in and then...

We ate here today and found the staff very friendly and they accommodated dogs which is a plus for us. However the food, although OK was so overpriced. Also the description of mine was not accurate, I chose handmade cajun spiced chicken thigh burger but...

Visited this pub for a drink and a meal. Bar staff very friendly gave a very good service. Ordered two meals one being steak pie which had been bought in and heated but was a nice enough meal second one being a fish pie and...

The attitude from the bar staff was shocking. The blonde waitress was rude and snotty and the bartender seemed to enjoy the fact that we were treated that way. I’m not sure how or why these people were hired

We came for supper . Well distanced covid measures The food was great - service very friendly and prompt and would recommend

We gathered for dinner having said farewell to my mother earlier in the day. The food and service was outstanding. Thank you for making us feel so relaxed. Well worth the money.

My wife and I visited at lunch-time on a bleak, wet day in January and were stunned by the welcome from the pleasant young man behind the bar, the roaring log fire, excellent range of Adnams beers and lots of locals who talk to you...

Disappointed, this has been our favourite pub for years for lunch or dinner. However the meal we had on Saturday lunchtime for hubby’s birthday was average and not up to the usual quality we’ve come to expect.

We booked a table for a family dinner here including my 87year old mum with mobility issues a few weeks ago, confirming two days before visiting. We were assured there would be no problems. On the night we were told we didn't have a table....

Had reserved a specific table for dinner approx 6 weeks prior to visit & as it was so far ahead had rang 2 days before to confirm. Was assured everything was booked at the time requested and even the table requested. On arrival the table...

Nice relaxed meal on our first night whilst staying on holiday in lovely Woodbridge. The young barman was really friendly and accommodating. Good pub grub and beer enjoyed by all next to the cosy fire. With thanks. Ps...enjoy Europe!

A poor selection of beers. This could be far better, but any pub that advertises a range of doggy treats has become far too poncy.

Having driven up from Kent for a long weekend in the area we had decided in advance to have lunch at the King's Head. We were so glad we did. The pub is lovely. One of the great old dames with heaps of character but lovely modern loos! Very important. The atmosphere was great with loads of friends and families eating. We had a delicious meal and well kept beers. The sausages were so amazing we tracked down the butcher in Wickham Market to buy a year's supply to take home. The staff were very welcoming and we had the best start to a break possible. Thank you team King's Head.

Booked short notice for our work meal and the Kings Head was very accommodating!! We had the back room to ourselves. Food was amazing. The best Cajun burger and sweet potato fries that I have had!! Steve the manager was very attentive. Lovely relaxed atmosphere!

On a very hot day we waited until the crowds subsided and ordered our food at 1.50pm.By 3pm I chased it up.No apology,and as we decided to leave and pay for our drinks,the food at last materialised.At no point did anyone ask us 'Is everything all right with your meal?,would you like any more drinks,sauces' etc.Excellent food and beer but dreadful service,no apology,no explanation of over an hour's wait either when we ordered or when we paid.Everywhere else during our week in Suffolk has been warm and welcoming.Here they just didn't seem to care.

After being let down by a Italian chain eatery in Woodbridge, dining at the The Kings Head Inn was meant be be and so glad it was! The staff at the inn were so welcoming and attentive. The menu offered a broad selections of pub favourite and twists. With the day being hot the inn offered an outside under cover dining area to the rear of the premises enclosed with potted bamboo, The sausage/mash and haddock with chips ordered were served as large ample portions and great value for money! And yes, I’ll definitely return with the family having received a great experience!

Stopped in to this atmospheric pub on Market Hill for lunch because home-made pies were on the menu, plus it serves Adnams ales. Increasingly these days the moniker "home made" is appended to any pie involving a tin of stewed steak and a pop on flaky pastry top. Not so at The King's Head where one gets the real thing.

We had two evening meals in this pub . The bar staff were extremely friendly and amenable . Nothing was too much trouble. Fantastic steak and ale pies. A homely pub in the centre of Woodbridge. Will definitley go there again.

Had a day in Woodbridge as the weather was so lovely, a perfect Spring day in Suffolk.

We popped in for lunch last Friday, was not disappointed. Barman really friendly and the food was fantastic, we both had the steak & ale pie. We will return.

Lovely pub with great food served A very busy Friday evening with a few different group there on the night Staff were friendly and efficient. Good very good Good portions served. Price was ok

This was a family lunch, in a wonderfully traditional, log-fired, nicotine-coloured, proper beer and home-made food pub, right in the centre of Woodbridge. The kids had scampi and chicken nuggets, my wife a jacket potato, and I had the pie with goose-fat cooked chips. Wow - the pie! Now, I do like a pie, and this has to have been one of the best ever. Great pastry, fully-filled with chicken etc, no messing around. Add a great pint of Ghostship and you have the perfect lunch for a cold, rainy Saturday afternoon. Service was friendly and quick, and is a pub clearly favoured by locals for a glass of wine and a natter. This place should be far higher the rankings in Woodbridge. There is also a small car park at the back. Totally recommend!

I went here for lunch with my dog when visiting Woodbridge. Lovely old building and a big log fire. Toilets were lovely and clean always a bonus . Very friendly staff and had a wide selection of food. I ordered the Macaroni cheese and ciabatta garlic bread and loved it . Will be going there again when I go to Woodbridge next .

You can always tell a good pub when you struggle to get a seat. This one was heaving. Food mrnu looked good although we didn't eat there but the drinks were certainly reasonable.

We visit the pub regularly and have always had great food. Today was after a lovely walk along the estuary with our dog. All three of us had steak and ale pie and our dog had gravy bones - all happy customers. Lovely steak in the pie and lots of it plus extra gravy. We brought family here around Christmas and they all loved it. Great atmosphere, lovely staff and fab food.

That wasn't a planned visit. We just went to Woodbridge for a change and a nice walk along the Debben. After watching some beautiful scenery we had to find some food so we started heading to the town center without really knowing where we were going to go. After another walk we spotted the King's Head, Adnams pub as expected in that area, and decided to check if they were still serving food. That's the beauty of most of the pubs along the coast, even after 2 pm on a Sunday you can get served. They do serve food on Sunday from 12 to 6 pm, which is really great. As we entered the pub I realised that was the kind of pubs which made me love pubs when I moved to England 17 years ago. This one is a typical classic full of character English one. The interior is beautiful with beams everywhere on the ceiling and an open fire place. It is certainly full of atmosphere. We got to the bar, asked if we could have a table for two for some lunch. We were placed not far from the fire place, but far enough not to get too hot. We ordered the Haddock and chips which came with hand cut chips and mushee peas and sausages and buttery mash which came with lovely red cabbages and an amazing very tasty gravy. The haddock was perfectly cooked, white and flaky. The batter was light, not too crispy. The peas were perfectly cooked. All those served on very hot plates, which again, was just as expected. We had a very good lunch indeed and enjoyed time all experience as much as possible. Could that become one of our favourite pubs? Definitely!

We called into the Kings Head for drinks and a warm up on a very cold lunchtime, confronted with a beautiful log fire, we settled in and stayed on for lunch. The menu and staff were very impressive and the venison pie was to die for, the other choices within our group were well presented and delicious.

I was visiting a friend who has moved back to Suffolk from London with his family. I found it to be a good local pub, with plenty of character. We were drinking in the late evening and for some reason I found myself imagining the pub at Christmas, full of decorations. It had that sort of feel about it. Well worth a visit if you are passing.

We visited Woodbridge for the day and wanted to get an informal pub lunch. We stumbled across the King's Head Inn at the market place and thought it would be a good place to grab a pint and sandwich.

Found this lovely pub whilst on a day out in Woodbridge with my boyfriend. We were greeted by friendly, welcoming staff behind the bar and served two great looking pints. For lunch I had the venison pie with mash, which was amazing, and my boyfriend had 'Dave's delicious mac n cheese', which was indeed delicious! A great experience, everything you could want in a traditional, English pub. Will definitely return.

When we arrived the staff were smiling and were very happy to take us to our table, I had one of the homemade pies and it was delicious, the beer was also very good and average price for the area, all in all a very nice pub (and the doggy menu was a very nice touch)

The food was absolutely awful. Tasted like school dinners. We hardly ate anything and has to eat mints in the car to get rid of the awful taste.

On the basis of the recent excellent reviews we booked a table for two on saturday 15th. When we got there they claimed they had no record of our booking, even although it had been made no more than 90 minutes beforehand. They were able to accommodate us a bit later which suited as we were happy to have a drink before our meal. However, once we got our table and had ordered we did not expect to wait an hour for our meal to arrive. We weren't the only people in this situation.Another couple seated next to us had similar experience. When we returned to our hotel we found other guests there who had also waited a very long time. When the food arrived it was good but we were no longer hungry.

Natasha, thank you for your friendly helpful customer service, who went the extra mile on our recent visit .

Just moved to Woodbridge and found out there was a market on a Thur walked to the town when the heavens opened and the rain did not stop !! Went to the Kings head to warm up and had a wonderful lunch here they even have a menu for the dogs which my two boys loved pugs ear and sausage how fantastic is that !! Can’t wait to go back

We phoned randomly an0d had a table waiting for us when we got there. Lovely beer, amazing fish and chips Made to feel so welcome including the dogs. Will definately be our pit stop when visiting this area and the coast. What a lovely find!

Called into the King's Head this week for a meal and couple of beers and thoroughly enjoyed my visit. An Adnams Pub which does a good range of there ales including a Blackshore stout and a very nice pint of Broadside which were both well kept.

Best pub in Woodbridge by far. You can feel the friendly vibe as soon as you walk in and the staff really cannot do enough for you they are so friendly and helpful. We went on a really hot day no seats free at the front of the pub but it didn't matter as with front and rear doors open a lovely breeze blows through. This pub has so much character with its mismatched furniture and lots of room inside it is full of charm. The beer is well kept and the food is really good as well, reasonably priced and really wholesome. Cannot fault this pub one of the best i have been in for some time.

Went in here this afternoon for lunch , had fish and chips my wife had macaroni cheese and my son had chicken . Food was very good , service was quick , drink prices were quite expensive but it is a touristy area so reflects this . All in all would recommend

Popped in last week for a quick lunch. Only a handful of people in the pub so service was nice and quick. We opted for sandwiches with chips on the side with salad enjoyed in the summer sun at rear of the pub. Nice portion sizes, good ingredients including the sausages. If you are in Woodbridge, definitely pop in for a drink and a bite to eat. Oh, and there’s parking at the rear too. Cheers!

Visited with wife and dog after a long walk down the river Debden. Water outside for dog = good start! Barmaid came out to fuss the dog with a biscuit!
