Kings Head Pub in East Riding of Yorkshire

Working away from home and staying in a lovely guest house up the road and we decided to go for a pint. I saw other customers food being brought out and I couldn’t resist!!!! And I was the furthest from disappointed than a fat man who loves his food could be. The roast of the day Yorkshire wrap is beyond words and I will be returning when I’m over this way again and to top it off as this review is titled? The landlady and the staff are so welcoming I felt like I’d walked in to my local not a pub 200 miles away from home!! Thank you so much and I will be back.

Lovely evening with a great DJ. The family had a lovely time! We hope to have many good times here!!

Seen the ads so gave it a try. The approach from the car park to the pub was not welcoming. Kitchen door wide open and not a pretty picture. Place was almost empty ,maybe a good job as they still managed to get our orders wrong. Heaven knows how they cope when busy.Cutlery was all water marked. Food average . Wont be recomending to anyone I'm afraid.

Dog friendly lovely pub. Lovely friendly people. We had the 2 meals for £14. The fish and chips were excellent the sausage and mash came in a large Yorkshire pudding and masses of gravy We will be back thank you

Just what you need when you've been travelling a fair while. Excellent bar products, great food and very friendly staff made this a pub to remember.

Great food! Friendly staff fantastic atmosphere. Popped in while staying at a local guest house. Was immediately greeted with a warm welcome and well served drinks, had an incredible meal at a very reasonable price, lots of 2 for £ offers

Had our family Christmas meal here on Friday. Great food, hospitality and wine. I would recommend for any family occasion.

Visited for a bite to eat, typical village pub, even with a tractor parked outside. Local farmers at the bar so already looking good. Not an extensive menu but had the essentials. Wife had a Lamb Shank which fell off the bone. I had the Steak and Kidney pie which was worth every penny. Not a sprig of Parsley in sight, No frills, just good grub that does exactly what it should, and a good pint or two to wash it down.

Exploring the area on a sunny Sept Sunday, I stopped here for a quick Sunday Lunch. Fairly quiet little place, but always encouraging to see locals using the place - and taking away plated lunches for relatives and neighbours. A good sign. Had a platter of Roast Beef and trimmings, with a Yorkie of course. Good, simple food, and just what I needed. Washed down with a fine pint - Yep, that's just what I needed. Friendly staff, and all the necessary Covid precautions. No likelihood of a Michelin Star, but I'd be very happy to come back here for more food and beer.

We never ate a meal as had been to snaith for dinner and only popped in for drinks. Wish we had ate as food on other table looked really good. This pub felt really safe and had put in lots of things to keep you safe with pandemic. Tables spaced out one way entry system and a nice beer garden at back. If we ha stayed another night we would have eaten in pub really nice. Barmaid was really friendly.

What a lovely meal and atmosphere. Hi easy to park and find Will def go again Very welcoming and friendly Recommend the fish and chips!

Great food, the puddings were lovely too! Friendly and helpful staff. Following all covid guidance, felt very safe. Would highly recommend.

Would highly recommend New Years Eve there - great atmosphere, really friendly staff and locals, and good music :-)

Fabulous little place to eat and drink with wonderful food. We had Pork loin with pepper sauce and belly pork. Both were delicious. Followed by Chocolate Fudge cake and Lemon Meringue cheesecake both equally as delicious too. People are lovely, friendly and very attentive without being overbearing. Look forward to visiting again in the future.

This was no beer festival at all. It was just us as a great big group paying £10 each for each of us to get in and had to pay for 4 and 5 year olds. Music was just ear bleeding and food way too expensive. The hog roast was that small no one could find it and the bouncy castle was held together with Duct tape and only had 1 fan for a 2 fan castle. This meant there was no where near enough air to keep it up. Yes they had lots of different beers but all at a cost. Gin was on tap for anyone with a mortgage to buy it. So to recap you pay £10 for a ticket to then let your child on a death trip castle only to then pay just under a fiver for a Asda burger or hotdog because there is no hog roast as advertised! Utter rubbish ripoff!

The Kings Head is a friendly, welcoming, proper little village pub. Whilst staying locally, we visited on a Saturday evening and were not disappointed. The steak was cooked to perfection and the service excellent!

Traditional country pub. Really well priced food, good choice and well cooked. The bar isn’t designed very well so makes life difficult for the bar staff which means drinks rounds take a long time to get but really well priced drinks and a nice relaxed atmosphere make this pub a perfect choice. (They did keep running out of ice so I’d recommend investing in a bigger/better ice machine)

Visited to celebrate joint birthday tea. Warm welcome, great food, large portions. Chef made effort to come out to check all was well. He made a special point if making sure our daughter was happy. One of our party commented the onion rings were the best they had ever tasted. The one negative was the chefs singing when he brought out the birthday cake. Thanks for a great tea.

Went with a group of 18 the menu had a excellent choice the meals were well cooked the service was excellent it was very good value large portions the Kings head is charming and friendly I would definitely recommend a visit to this pub

Went with a group of friends and family for their annual beer fest, beautiful Sunday lunch very good value, would highly recommend, beer fest would have been better, but as per the english weather was not kind. went to the beer fest last year and it was brilliant, plenty of entertainment so will definitely make this our yearly trip.

Quality homemade food, well cooked, friendly atmosphere, and a warm welcome, will be returning to try other dishes.

This pub has a large Wow factor, called in after a walk in the area for a drink and a meal was not disappointed both had the steak special absolutely brilliant not one fault both meals where cooked to perfection,staff and the owner (sorry did not get your name) was very friendly and had time to have a chat, would we be going back YesMany thanks

We have visited and eaten here several times and are always impressed with the standard of the food and how friendly all the staff are.

We called in on a Saturday evening as we’ve just moved to the area. We hadn’t booked but they squeezed the two of us in (and didn’t make us feel silly for not booking!).

Moored the boat at Pollington lock and walked the short way to the pub. Excellent pub food, great value. Worth stopping off if you are on the Aire and Calder navigation.

Just come back from the kings head .. what a great place to go for your tea !

Convivial, great value and freshly cooked food! Huge portions and friendly chef! Loved it!! Homemade steak pie was delicious! Would go again

I visited the kings head today and was treated like I had been there thousands of times made me fill so welcomed. Lovely locale pub where every one knows every one. I had food there as well and I must say was a beautiful dinner very big portions and lots of flavour. Couldn’t fined one bad thing about it. Will definitely be coming back in the future and would recommend going there even for a quick drink if passing by.

We were staying in the village and had 2 meals here. Friendly staff and a big thumbs up to the chef who served up the yummiest of food. The first night he came out to see how the food was and the 2nd eve he asked if I was a vegetarian and offered to cook me anything I wanted. Fantastic service!!!

After walking one of the Snaith council heritage walks, twenty of us had Christmas lunch at this lovely little pub. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed their meals. The staff were very friendly and helpful and I would recommend the Kings Head to anybody. A great Christmas menu with lots of choice. Thank you, I will definitely come again.

Mrs East Yorkshire Fingers and I could not face preparing Sunday lunch last week. For the first time in ages (too long!) we decided to go down to our village pub instead. Great decision. Not only was the bar lively and full of the usual Sunday afternoon banter from locals and visitors alike, the beer was spot on. My good lady wife had the roast pork lunch and I chose, for a change, to have the beef sandwich with salad and chips; this after we had each had the cauliflower and cheese soup to start with. Certainly no need for a pud after that!

Comimos en la Cabeza Kings dos noches consecutivas. Debo decir que fue una buena relación calidad-precio. Hay una buena variedad de menús y ofertas especiales en una amplia gama de precios para todos los gustos. La comida era de buena calidad y abundante. No es un local, así que no puedo comentar sobre la coherencia, pero en las dos noches que cenamos aquí, sin problemas!

Esta crítica está basada en el almuerzo del domingo tuvimos el 28 / 5 / 17.

Visited this pub the other day after hearing about how lovely it was......The service was ok but got overcharged, only realised when we got home, after questioning the staff about this they were adamant they were right.....Also i found the food was overpriced

De haber estado aquí unas cuantas veces en el pasado fuimos para una comida por el cumpleaños de mi madre. El lugar ha ido cuesta abajo. El bar estaba lleno de gente con un montón de niños no es un problema normalmente, pero estaba sucio...

Pasamos Navidad y año nuevo en el Kings Head. Gran ambiente y animación genial. No se escatimó de karaoke, discoteca, bandas y noche temática bond james en año nuevo. Bien hecho, seguir manteniendo xxx

We called for lunch with our little boy and was great food goo value and cooked fresh. There is now a large selection of quality wine which is great. Landlady and landlord can't do enough for you. Great country pub and worth a visit

We've eaten here before in the past and since change of chef it's now in a new league! The food is of a great standard at a really good price. The bar staff are full of fun and make you feel really welcome! All the staff look smart with 'kings head' matching uniforms. My wife has a gluten free diet and it was no trouble at all. Chef himself even came out to see if we enjoyed the meal. They serve well kept cask ales, and Ogio wine which my wife was really impressed! Will definitely be back!!

Where do I start? Firstly had to wait for our table which was booked beforehand. Not once while we were waiting offered a drink, the staff were too busy talking between themselves to even acknowledge us while there we uncleansed tables. When we were taken to our table, they tried to put 6 of us on a table which was for only 4 people. The food and presentation was poor, and we had to wait for over 10 minutes for extra gravy which we requested when our order was taken, making our food go cold! When we asked to speak to the manager/owner he was very rude, disinterested and lacked the quality's of an experienced owner/manager should have. Having previously owned and ran my own pubs, this is THE WORST PLACE I have ever visited, and please see this and act. The great british pub culture is sadly going down, and unfortunately these cowboys are taking the trade with them.

This is our local pub, we've always been regular visitors. Having found out that Di & Adam had left, we went with a little trepidation, unfortunately it was just not the same. No warm welcome, considering this was a Saturday night, only 3 tables in use including ours, before it was always packed with a great atmosphere. The food was ok, chips were enormous & for me could've been cooked more, like mine crispy not anaemic & peas were overcooked they were shriveled. Prices are still reasonable, even if portion sizes are smaller than before, better for me though. We will give it another go sometime.

Great food excellent service reasonable price. Friendly staff . Lovely night out for a family birthday.

Just had a great meal at the Kings Head. My daughter is a Mexican food fanatic therefore we shared the nacho starter between three. All I can say is it was the best, gaining my daughter's very particular seal of approval. The mains arrived with just the right amount of time between service. Steak was cooked to order and exceptionally done so. My choice was Hunter's Chicken which was moist and tasty. I liked how the large portion of salad was served on the plate with the chicken and sauce in a dish. The chips, which were homemade and delicious, were served in a seperate bowl, which I preferred. Huge portions! We also ordered an extra portion of onion rings, perfect!My daughter chose curry which came with rice, chips and naan bread. She said 'it was gorgeous'.All in all a great meal and we'll definitely return with more family!Although the menu was simple, which is something I prefer rather than a menu which gives you a headache, everything I could see other people order also looked great. I feel that a simple menu, cooked well, is far better than being bombarded by poor quality choices.All the staff were super, just the right amount of attention, friendly and polite.Great chef. Keep up the good work!

We have been to this pub for the last three years, we live on a boat and call whenever we can. The landlady is great always friendly and more than helpful, they even let us use their carpark for our van. The food is fantastic, always freshly cooked and theres plenty of it! Value for money is second to none. The starters are as big as most pubs main meals!! Good variety of choice but not too big to have you pondering for long. The breakfasts are great value too, good size and all you can drink juice, tea or coffee. You'll have to go a long way to beat the team at the Kings Head!!

We visited twice last week while out no our boat once for a drink then for a meal really helpful staff accommodated us with disabled access and storage of the motorised wheel chair and reserved an accessible table great food big portions and great price

The food was great (massive portions!) Delicious, hot and well worth the price! And service was great- Lovely pub with nice, friendly staff. Thanks so much!!

Very good food and easy to get to,just within walking distance no need to take the car so you can have a drink.

Feel rather harsh at a 3 star, but a fair reflection as a whole. The pub itself has a traditional village feel which is nice. Staff were friendly. Portion sizes were huge. I had the lamb rogan josh, which ended up as chicken and it came with a large side salad which I thought was odd for a curry and ate non of it. The price was good for the portion size as no one finished all of theirs.

Chuffed with our choices, well cooked, plenty of it and excellent prices - wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

We have been here on a number of occasions, both as a couple and with family and friends. The local brewery draught beer is superb (Heck Brewery) and the food is exceptionally good, reasonably priced and locally sourced. The staff are friendly and efficient. All in all a place for a good night out.

We have visited The Kings Head many many times. In this small village pub the food is always good quality and well presented with and excellent menu. The service is always good and the welcome warm and friendly. The beer is well kept too.

Called recently with friends,although rather small,we were welcomed in and sat at our pre booked table,the food was wonderful large helpings,double cooked chips, battered onion rings, well cooked steaks,veg, + salad, only 2 desserts,but I couldn't manage one anyway, but looked good, and cask beers,great photos of the wartime airbase nearby .toilets spotless ,well worth a visit booking recommended, got quite busy later , prices are reasonable,give it a try you will not be disappointed,

Been here quite a few times for Sunday lunch and pub food and can recommend it! Portions are really generous and it's great value for money! Book before you go as its quite a small pub and can get busy!

I was invited to a Christmas lunch with a large group of 14 today and what a fabulous meal! Starter if homemade mushroom soup with warm crusty rolls and real butter. Stuffed turkey, roast potatoes, fresh veg, roast potatoes and homemade Yorkshire puds for main. Followed by homemade trifle with lots of cream, all for £15 quid! Do I need to say anymore! Fab food, great comfortable environment and friendly staff that can't do enough! "Enjoy" and that we did!

I called in for supper after a long drive, the pub was very busy with locals (always a good sign). A friendly welcome and very fast service, my meal was freshly cooked and importantly very clearly all home made. Wholesome and huge portions (I think I managed about half), sophisticated dining this is not, but as a refuelling stop it was good and I couldn't believe the price.

We went to the Yorkshire Tapas night last night and it was delicious! Hearty traditional Yorkshire grub and you can't beat it. Absolute value for money and a great atmosphere to go with it! Well done Kings Head, as always!

From the moment you walk into the kings head pub your met by friendly staff and the warm feel of a traditional english country pub. The beer tastes good and the food tastes amazing, they have a varied menu and a specials board that caters for all tastes. The portion sizes are generous and every time we have been the food has been to a consistently high standard. They also do themed food nights, for example Italian, tapas and American grill just to name a few....but make sure you book early as tables go fast. I cannot recommend this pub enough and promise you that when you eat at other pubs you will be saying "That food was nice, but not as nice as the kings head".

Best pub food in the area, friendly staff and locals.food is excellent and the Sunday lunch is too good to miss, highly recommend the kings Head if your local or just passing through pollington.

Excellent home cooked food, massive portions. We were a party of six, we had curries, ham and eggs, chicken, lasagne, fish and chips. All food was fresh cooked, piping hot, good quality and came out at the same time. Lovely.

thought we would try this again as it had changed hands....again but have to say what a load of tripe.The place may have had a lick of paint and a few new staff but the food is shockingly poor third rate slop.

We have been twice, first time the food was very nice and the service was very good. Second time they were not serving food due to what I can only assume was the anniversary bash. I assume this was just a one off, well hope so as this will be our local in the next few weeks.

Called in for lunch and was so impressed I booked a table for an evening meal. The staff are very welcoming and make sure that everything is satisfactory. Excellent food and plenty of it.

The owners, Diane & Adam have completely turned this pub around over the last year or so.Excellent value for moneyLocal produceTraditional pub fareSeasonal menu plus specials boardBank holiday bbqsVery generous portionsThemed Saturday eveningsFriendly localIn response to a previous reviewer, I would say that children are always made welcome, they are often to be seen in and sound the pub, being an integral part of the village community, at which the pub is at the heart. This previous visitor makes it look like children are undesirable and unwelcome here. This is NOT true at all!

Great little village pub serving good beer and great food. Portions are very generous and the staff are great. Will be a regular every time we pass from now on. What a great find....Low music so you can hear yourself speak, warm atmosphere and best of all NO KIDS.

We are locals to this pub and every meal we have had in here has been fantastic! The food is very affordable and the portions are generous. They are happy to amend dishes for special requests and do smaller portions of everything. The pub is very involved in events for bank holidays and such, and these are never a disappointment either!

WOW! Great food and fantastic value. Large selection from the menu plus specials board. Huge portions of freshly cooked piping hot food delivered by friendly staff. We couldn't manage a dessert!

Called for Sunday lunch and I have to say that this was one of the best if not THE best Sunday meal I have ever eaten. Everything is home cooked and the ingredients locally sourced. The mashed potatoes were a true delight with not a single lump in sight. The meat was scrumptious and fell apart when cutting it. I could go on and on about how wonderful the quality of the food was.Katie our server was delightful and kept making sure that we had everything we needed.The pub boasts a lovely rear beer garden with toys for the children and it is well fenced off to prevent little ones straying into the car park.A definite return is on the cards!

Awful, truly awful. Felt alienated as soon as I arrived. Very local pub for local people. Couldn't wait to get out of there. The fact there was no wifi didn't help and the way I was informed of such was downright rude. Gave it a rating as I had to to submit this review, if I could have given a negative rating I would have.

we ate there on two evenings, portions are plentyfull and reasonably priced. It is advisable to book as it does get busy at weekends

Lovely meal,good value,stuffed beyond belief! Nice and warm and cosy,pity about ignorant locals who covered the chairs with their coats.

We were staying in Pollington overnight and the Kings Head came recommended. A lovely village pub atmosphere with very friendly and helpful staff. My partner and I both opted for the belly pork, mash, and veg priced at £7.95 on the 'Specials' board. We were not disappointed by our choice. Succulent, tasty, and with a quality second to none. Absolutely delicious! Not only are the portions plentiful from the extensive menu, but everything we saw come out of the kitchen, and on other diners plates looked mouth wateringly good. We were hoping to come back the next day for Sunday lunch but unfortunately our itinerary didn't allow. However, rest assured we will be back (and soon!) to further enjoy the friendliness of the staff and locals, and the superb food in this lovely village pub. In short, we have no hesitation in recommending it to others ...... don't pass this little gem by!

Been several times to the Kings Head, its never failed to please - good atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff and the food is good quality, home cooked, and good value.
