Kings Head Pub in Rushcliffe

Great pint of Wainwright's and delicious crispy Battered fish and chips, and our Sunday lunch the day previous was really good too.

Went in for a meal, not been in before. Food was very good and reasonable price, some nice selection of real ales on as well. Can recommend.

What a gem😃 Came recommended! Beautiful & tasty home cooked food. Priced reasonable considering the quality. Amazing. Thank you 😁

Lovely local pub visited twice and enjoyed it both times.

Looked after my group for lunch very efficiently. Very pleasant and helpful staff. The food was basic pub food at a reasonable price.

Smashing little pub had an amazing and large fish and chips, friendly staff and good food. Cheap for the quality on offer.

Loved it! Cosy, friendly atmosphere and a tasty Sunday roast in front of a real fire= bliss

Popped in to have a pint and exchange Christmas presents with a friend. Lovely pub with welcoming staff, good beer and a classic village pub feel. Going back today 😁.

Excellent Sunday dinner ! Visited today and sampled the Sunday dinner which was first rate. The new owners have put a lot of thought and effort into this venture. Excellent choice of meats and plentiful vegetables, and a new addition of your own gravy boat ! Simple but so thoughtful Reasonable price and good customer service Well done Michael and Lizzie !

We had a really delicious meal at the Kings Head - the food was beautifully cooked. The fish and chips had really fresh fish in a light crispy batter and the nut roast was very tasty with perfectly cooked veggies. The new landlord gave us a warm and friendly welcome and the changes to the pub decor and lighting have given it a good atmosphere. It's now a really nice place to come for both a drink and/or food. We'll definitely be back!

New management and staff were very welcoming. Typical warm village pub atmosphere with a little something extra. This was my second visit since they took over. We went for Sunday lunch and enjoyed every part of it. I hope this continues and hope everyone reading this pays a visit to a wonderful little village gem. "Keep up the great work"

Small/medium 'locals pub', just popped in for a couple of shandies after Sutton Bonington show. Nice friendly welcome, quiet but nice atmosphere (Sunday 4.30), locals seem friendly... 😉 Didn't try the food but it looked & smelt very good... PLUS !! We got to see the Lancaster fly-by whilst here - FAB !! (see vid) Will return when next in the area. Many thanks

1st visit after the Sutton Bonnington show. Busy, capable staff, cold beer, friendly locals & a Hurricance made a flyover, what more can you ask?

This place is amazing! It was 5 of us and the food was excellent.. the best we’ve had in the area. Friendly staff and good prices.. recommended!

The King's Head is a lovely historical pub. The food was wonderful. The staff were friendly with great service. It's also dog friendly with tables at the front and back of the pub. I would thoroughly recommend it.

A proper old English pub. Great home cooked food, with a good selection of vegi/vegan/gluten free options. Really friendly staff, and........ They have Theakstons Mild on draught! 😍

The end to a perfect 4 mile walk around the countryside of Sutton Bonnington would you believe, 5 weary lady walkers sitting in the sunshine at 11.45am waiting for the pub to open The landlord gave us a warm welcome after opening the front doors, and how decadent, we were the first there. After ordering a well earned long drink, and lunch we chatted away whilst waiting for lunch to appear What a lovely site, the fish chips and mushy peas looked appetising, so did the prawn cocktails and i had scampi and salad, and it all tasted as good as it looked Thank you for your warm hospitality from you and your efficient staff, we will call again soon

Staying close by for the night popped in for a meal awesome food service was very quick staff were brilliant made you feel very welcome and like a regular food was delicious and great value for money

Really friendly if I lived in the area I would be a local user for sure

Me and my friends came in last night after it had been hammering down from the bad storm and at first the workers were really sweet and gave us towels and gave us our own space to sit in. However the lady who was working there became extremely rude and made comments about how we were dressed and told us to “cover up because we were in a public place” . Bare in mind it was 28° so there wasn’t a lot of options to be fully covered. we were wearing shorts and a crop top. Its a pub!! we saw a few girls wear the exact same outfit and not have anything said to them. This comment made me and my group feel extremely violated and targeted and we left shortly after. I will not be coming back because of that lady. However i will say that the man working there at the time was very sweet and did keep checking up on us.

me and my friends went inside this pub during the storm yesterday afternoon and the workers were quite pleasant and gave us towels and somewhere to sit which was appreciated. however, shortly after the women who was on shift told me to “cover up because i’m in a public place” when it was 28° with no rain outside about 10 minutes before that, i didn’t have anything to “cover up” with but she continued to say it to me multiple times after. me and my friends saw other girls in that pub showing the same amount of skin as i was and they didn’t seem to get told to cover up. it’s even more disappointing that it came from a woman's mouth. it’s a pub, it’s really not that deep that i’m wearing a bikini top in hot weather. on a good note, the male worker did not mention a thing and kept checking up on us so props to him.

Decent food. Good after a long walk.

We have been going to the king's head for a long time, but tonight was the last time. The meal wasn't good, some of the chips were hard, the cheesecake was not cheese cake. The food was not home made, it tasted and looked like it came straight from an Iceland shop. Out door seating is uncomfortable, it is dog friendly which as dog owners we don't mind but we would of liked to be able to sit and eat our food without their dogs being able to come and sit begging at our table.

Came in tonight for dinner. Welcoming staff, very efficient, our food order was taken & it arrived to the table promptly. Great idea to have scissors on table to undo condiment packaging, wish all pubs would do this. Food was really nice & good value for money.

Very welcoming . Great food, had fish and chips best I've had for ages! Husband had the lasagne. Dog friendly too.

Don't expect any 'frills'. The Pub is a typical village pub - log burner, friendly welcome and good food cooked to order by the landlady Caroline. No piped music, no slot machine, no pool table, just conversation and laughter (and lots of dogs !) - three cheers for a 'proper' pub !!

A good pub.! The food was excellent, quality, service very good. Priced very fair for the quality. Quick an attentive service, even tho it was packed. We didn't book. We sat outside in a very good covered area, the landlord came and put a very efficient heater on without being asked to. Good parking. Level wheelchair access altho it is a small and fairly narrow pub inside. We were very comfy outside, warm, no wind getting in, comfy padded benches and chairs. It was a cold day.! We all had a brilliant Sunday roast. Top marks. Recommended. 😊👍. ps. Dog friendly.!

We had Sunday Lunch at The Kings Head. This was a first time visit for my wife and I, and we have to say everything, from the service to the meal was exceptional. We pre-booked a table for 1.30pm, but arrived 10 minutes late due to traffic, but no problem, everything was ready for us. We both ordered the Sunday Roast, there was a choice of 3 meats, which you could mix and match, which was a nice surprise, plus lots of vegetables. The meal was superb and so much of it, no skimping on portions here. We followed with a dessert, and once again the portions were large, it’s definitely one of the best Sunday lunches we have had anywhere. Add lovely, friendly staff into the mix, plus a great pint of beer, you have all the makings for a very enjoyable couple of hours. We will definitely be returning, and has it’s also dog friendly, that’s the icing on the cake for us. Thank you all, we look forward to seeing you again.

Can't reccomend highly enough. Menu is 'basic' but bloody good. All food's cooked to order. Bar area is cosy (log burner) and very friendly. Extremely dog friendly. The Landlady has four dogs herself (2 Labradors, Old English Sheepdog and a German Shepherd) who you will certainly meet) Proper village pub - don't expect 'frills' 👍👍

Impromptu visit with my daughter to get some food. Not very cozy, very bright and doesn’t really have a country pub feel. Staff were pleasant and service was fast. Food was okay, nothing special and probably wouldn’t choose to eat here again. Menu for drinks and food was standard pub fare and overall it was adequate.

No hesitation in returning for my birthday pint and lunch. Traditional pub, locally managed, log fire, delicious home made steak pie as pictured here. Try it!!

Enjoyed the best fish and chip tea. A warm welcome & excellent service.

Fabulous fish and chips. Every time!

Had lunch. Really well cooked and a great choice. Priced just right. Would recommend to everyone.

Great meal, enjoyed by all 8 of us!

Went here for a meal and wasn't disappointed. Prompt and friendly service, tasty food and good portions at affordable prices. Definitely will be back.

Warm and friendly pub. Stopped off earlier in the day to book a table for this evening. Very prompt and courteous service from friendly staff with good knowledge of the gluten free options available. Food arrived soon afterwards. I had the gluten free fish and chips with one of the best gluten free batters that I have tasted. My daughter had an equally tasty gluten free pizza and my wife had the ‘normal’ scampi and chips which she thoroughly enjoyed. A great find close to the university and will definitely return when we come back up here. Thanks for some great cooking and a warm welcome!

Went in for a drink and food the staff were very friendly and a great location, drinks are a good price and so is the food it came out freshly cooked and tasted great only negative was the scampy was a bit to hard , other than that great pub and will be visiting again

Nice quaint little pub. After an unplanned visit I walked in. The staff were very welcoming even after trying to serve alcohol free 🤣. However the other regular patrons clearly didn't like new people coming into there pub. Getting many odd stares from different corners of the pub wasn't the most welcoming.

Took a friend for their first ever visit ...they thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance , food and service .. love that dogs are welcome too .. 🐾🐾...the young boy on next table was feeding her his left over green peas 💚...one at a time !!🤣🤣🤣

Great Sunday lunch. Friendly, helpful service.

Lovely staff and nice little pub

Warm, friendly welcome. Great food and catered for food allergies. The service was excellent and we couldn't have asked for more. We held a family gathering, following the internment of ashes at St Annes church in the vilkage. The pub was opened up on a Monday for us and we had sole use of the restaurant room. The pub holds significant family connections and we couldn't have been allowed a more fitting environment to celebrate our Mum. Thank you all so very much.

Lovely dog friendly family pub. Great food and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Nice friendly pub in a quieter part of Leicester near the leafy New Walk. Pub has an outdoor roof terrace at the back which is nice on a warm day or evening. Good spot to relax and good choice of local beers

Went for a meal there. Very good quality. Lots of choice on the menu. Staff were very friendly and polite.

Friendly and efficient service, good menu and great food. What's not to like? Tres bon!

Polite staff, but overpriced average beer

Great place, goid food, friendly staff and good wi e

Love the Place Old world charm warm Welcome Food and Beer 😬

We have been to the Kings for our silver weeding joint Father’s Day 20 of us and everyone was completely satisfied . Nigel , Caroline and all the staff could not have looked after us all any better . Stuart Matthews

Great letter pub lovely landlady. Food good

Visited for an evening meal and had a very enjoyable time. Staff were very welcoming and the food was well priced and tasty. I didn't have any beer, but there was a good selection on tap. We'll definitely be back next time we're visiting.

My husband and I have recently moved to the area. We parked up here to have some dinner. As it was so close to the local shop we thought we’d grab some bits quickly before it closed and then head to the pub to eat. We were reading the memorial bench outside the pub and before we had even left the car park the owner (what we think was the owner) came out and shouted aggressively, “are you alright, you’ve left your car in my car park.” To which we were quite shocked. My husband calmly got back in the vehicle and we ended up going to a lovely pub with friendly staff in west leak. Just an outrageous way to speak to someone, and a potential customer. To add there is no clear postage or signage to our knowledge indicating that the car park we had entered was a private car park and we are completely new to the area. I think we won’t be returning here because she was incredibly rude.

Booked on Saturday afternoon with a group of six friends for lunch on 1/5/22. It was very welcoming by all the staff. The food was delicious and plentiful. Would definitely recommend if you are driving past this village. All home cooked,and delicious. We will be booking again when we visit Normanton on Soar with the caravan

Food was amazing. And not a bad price. Would recommend anytime

Lovely old English village pub really nice ☕ coffee perfect after a country walk

Awesome Sunday lunch. Choice of beef chicken and turkey plus regular menu. Great food great staff. Lovely atmosphere 👌 xxx

Very nice village pub lovely home made cottage pie worme and welcome feeling

Went for Sunday lunch myself wife and grandaughter food was good service very good

It's lovely to see a traditional pub offering a wide selection of real ales and good low cost food. Drop in for a warm welcome

A great night out. Celebrating a 50th wedding anniversary with friends. Staff were on hand with drinks and food. All staff were friendly and made everyone feel welcome.

Returned many times. Nice food, relaxed atmosphere and pleasant staff.

Lovely meal, great choice and huge portions. Staff all helpful and friendly.

Out for a drive and found this gem of a pub, very friendly staff, reasonably priced food and drinks. Highly recommended 😀😀

Top place. Great service and food

Nice simple pub grub. Beer lovely.

Good food good prices, friendly staff

Great, friendly atmosphere, great food and good value for money. Adored petting the dogs as they come around in the evening. Would love to visit again!

Good food excellent staff hopefully eat in or eat in the sun next time

Fantastic pub in a superb location. If you're driving through the area definitely stop by for an unforgettable experience at what I believe to be one of Britains best pubs.

We have always enjoyed fabulous food and service here. The atmosphere is fantastic. In the current situation they have done everything they possibly can to keep to guidelines.

Friendly staff and great choices on the menu pub grub with Spanish tapas as well.

Always a good welcome and care taken to ensure that the service is good.

Nice village pub. Decent sunday dinner with fresh veg cooked to order.

Love this pub. Great village feel, lovely food, fantastic staff, landlord and landlady!

Cosy pub welcomes dogs in the public bar. Serves excellent gluten free fish and chips

Lovely pint and really friendly

Awesome place, good customer service and social distancing measures. Great food eat in or takeaway

Very busy family and pet friendly village pub

unfortunately The Kngs Arms have decided to do away with table service i guess to cut down costs ,which in my opion put them above places like The Ring of Bells / Maxwells watched tonight as there was a big que at the bar as a customer was getting a large round of drinks which held everthing up.A table just across from us was also complaining [to them selves] about the system and also a table of gentlemen were doing the same as we left shame as we enjoyed the service side .

Had the pleasure of visiting with a group of Morris Men. A warm welcome and great beer. A lovely pub all round.

Good pub, good food and great landlord and landlady

Consistently excellent food both to eat in the lovely bars or to take away. Great value proper pub food, well cooked, and the staff always have a welcoming smile

Good host ,Beer good, food excellent value. place was full of people eating, Manager very helpful kept an eye to se you were alright. bar are was full Saturday lunch.

After eating at other pub restaurants in area I am going to find it had to be positive. On a plus side the dishes were VERY hot no worry of them cooling for at least 30 mins.. I had a very ordinary Steak and Guinness pie, the pastry topping was not cooked within the same bowl as the meat. Struggled to taste any Guinness, maybe as the pie was so hot, maybe reheated in a microwave. Would I recommend this pub.. NO, there are better in the area.

Friendly and relaxing just how it should be

Great friendly little pub for a nice cold pint sitting outside in the sunshine..has a reputation for great food but didn't eat there this time..

Went for the fish and chips as this is always a good barometer of a venue. It was piping hot, reasonable portion (I went large) but the batter which claimed to be a “special recipe” was quite bland. Dessert was nice but clearly bought in from the cash and carry. Ale was well kept. Very solid pub food that in 1990 would have earned 5 stars but in 2019 most pubs have moved on a long way (tartre sauce in slimes little tearing packets??). A little attention to detail could make this a destination eatery rather than a convenience eatery. You won’t get bad food, but you won’t leave smiling either (as the guests on the next table evidenced).

Very happy, welcoming local pub run by a lovely family. Good home cooked food and selection of drinks.

Good beer, friendly bar staff, and pleasant to sit outside the front of the pub.

No idea why the TripAdvisor reviews are so good, the pub and food are average at best. One of our mains had to go back to be microwaved it was so cool and the chips were not hot at all. Beer OK and nice people, but won't be going back.

Lovely local pub with friendly staff. Very good food, service and atmosphere.

I treated my Mum to the King’s afternoon tea today, which we both agreed was absolutely delicious. We were greeted by a lovely young lady behind the bar and all of the staff were attentive and friendly throughout. Our table had clearly been prepared with care and the vintage china was a really nice touch. The tea included freshly made sandwiches with a variety of fillings, homemade scones (still warm) and a fantastic choice of cake and sweet treats. The homemade mixed berry trifle was a highlight. The attention to detail was perfect from the table arrangement to the presentation of the food. We were both extremely impressed and feel that this is by far the best afternoon tea we have had (and we’ve had a few!) We couldn’t quite manage all of our food and so we took the rest home. This was no trouble for the staff. What a cracking afternoon tea! Thank you for a really enjoyable experience, hope to see you again soon.

Called in at the Kings Head on July 26th with two good friends for lunch, the staff were most helpful and polite and couldn’t do enough for us, we had a couple of drinks on the seating area on the front of the Pub whilst perusing through the excellent pub menu, When our food was ready we went inside to our previously arranged table which was most comfortable compared with most other pubs , the food was delicious and the service was second to none, we will certainly recommend this place to anyone, and will call in again sooner than later .

Poor service ,need more training fo staff meal not good value for the prices charged aa

Great pub with lovely people and wonderful food

Nice local pub. didn't eat there but food is supposed to be good. Seating area out the front and a small enclosed beer garden at the rear.

Just went in for a drink with the dog. Was made to feel v welcome. Dog friendly. Would go again, nice location.
