The Kings Head in Spelthorne

Went for a meal to celebrate my birthday with family. They were working under usual staff numbers but the level of service was still exceptional. Food came out piping hot, really flavourful. Great value for money. Wide variety on the menu to suit all tastes.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and exceptional service

We booked with Tastecard and had never been before. We walked in and it is clearly cheap and cheerful, which is fine. Staff were friendly but didn't seem particularly organised. We were shown to the eating area and told we should grab our own cutlery and condiments and find a table. There were only a couple of other people sat down, but every other table was dirty, where previous customers had eaten, had their plates collected and no other clearing up done. There was food on the floor as well as on the table. Again, it wasn't busy and there were staff not doing anything. It was so dirty, we decided we couldn't stay, so we explained to the manager and left.

Very friendly staff, Burger I ordered was very juicy and tasty Alongside piping hot crispy chips Highly recommended

Food was ok, roast was questionable. If you like microwave meat then go for the roast the barmaid was not very happy, rude and swearing and the hump whenever we went up for drinks. Ruined the vibe. Understaffed and missing lots of items from the menu.

Great food, good choice of beer. Even better service from bartender billy!!!

Very good service and good food

Often a bit quiet but a reasonable pub otherwise.

Went to the Kings head last night and had a great night and Cllear and Mille was amazing once again thank you for a wonderful evening

Food was lovely and value for money and the chef Jo was very attentive

Love that there’s Zinfandel on the list now! Always a bit of atmosphere and friendly staff to make a drink enjoyable. Good local

Stumbled over this place whilst visiting friends. Great service, friendly and genuine. Food and drinks were all great would happily recommend

I often pop in to enjoy a jd n sometimes a meal. I always feel welcome and get excellent friendly and efficient service. I especially love the kitchen lady who makes & serves delicious meals and is genuinely pleased to hear her efforts are appreciated x

Great little local pub , nice beers and food

Easy to order food Food quality is good Drink not to pricey

Excellent food and Jo the cook was marvelous, my dog enjoyed it as much as I did... Of course will come back...

Lovely food, and Jo was super friendly

Had an amazing experience at The King’s Head in Ashford! Joe was absolutely fantastic—so kind, attentive, and genuinely made our visit special. The food was delicious, especially the onion rings and the Hunter’s Chicken, which were both cooked perfectly. It’s rare to come across someone as lovely as Joe, and we’d honestly return just for her incredible service. Highly recommend this place!

Night. Out with family and amilia was on duty with zara on bar Nathan in kitchen we had burger and chips also fish and chips changed sauce and very plesent evening

Had a really really nice lunch the bar staff were really helpful very polite can't thank Claire for her service and politeness

Came in lunchtime it was very busy but staff never kept us waiting special thanks to Claire for a great experience will be back again

Popped in for lunch with some colleagues and we were pleasantly surprised with how great the service was. The lady behind the bar was very attentive and took a genuine interest when taking our food order as one of our group has a Gluten allergy. Food came out hot and was super tasty, we will definitely be returning thank you Nicki and Jo!

Thank you Zara & Claire for a lovely night once again. I didn't arrive until almost 10pm so apart from their great service & being so welcoming as always, I was very grateful they kept the pub open until 12 even when there were very few customers left. Both ladies are always warm & welcoming & I'm always happy to see them. Thank you girls.

Was hear Sunday to watch the football harrisonwas on top form credit to the young man came back Monday and Sarah was welcoming and efficient and will be back tomorrow

Went in with a friend and had lunch and we both found the food amazing and the staff friendly and very helpful and would like to say special thanks to Claire who made our visit so enjoyable we will be making a return visit soon.

Had a lovely meal here, the atmosphere was great, thanks to Claire who made us feel special

Lovely pub, Nicki was fantastic would highly recommend

This is my local pub & it's getting better, when Claire's on the weekends as she keeps it open until midnight just like the old days, a few years ago anyway. The pub thrives when it's open until 12 but it needs to be consistent or nobody knows whether to leave the pub they're in to come to the King's Head as it might be closed. The midnight closing was one of the reasons I started drinking there in the first place. I couldn't comment on the food or food service as I've not eaten there for years.

There were only there of us for dinner but eight more for drinks later. Food there is always excellent. Service was friendly.

Always a pleasure to come to the kings head. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. Special mention for Claire, fantastic

Popped in for a meal with my family on my way back to Essex after a weekend in Westerham. I was really impressed by the quality of the food which was probably the best pub food I’ve had in BC a very long time. It was hot tasty and brilliantly cooked and presented. My wife Esther who works in Guest services commented that the happy bubbly professional service we received from Nicki, whom we presume was the manager, was a joy to behold and something often lacking in other chain restaurants/pubs. The atmosphere was also perfect and the kids felt really at home and were looked after so well it was a pleasure taking them out for a change . Nothing was too much trouble for Nicki and her team who obviously take a lot of pride in their work and enjoy the buzz of a lovely pub . We will definitely return . Thank you

I came here with my family and had a lovely share meal! Jo was amazing and recommended the ultimate Ribs and chicken platter, which filled us up! I will definitely be returning sooner rather than later! 🍽️

Came to this pub with my friend and his male partner, it was amazing how they coped with my friend Teddy’s blindness which she read out the whole menu to him. Also the food was great, Jo recommended the mixed grill which was enough to fill two of us up. Would recommend to come here.

I went over to the kings head today as was meeting up with a couple friends for some drinks. I got served by the lovely lady behind the bar who is the new manager Nicola, we had three pints of cruzcampo which was amazingly poured and presented to us as well as the taste of the beer being exceptionally wonderful, can clearly see that its well looked after and cleaned. I then had a chat with Nicola at the bar and she was being very polite, funny and overall amazing. She made my friends and i feel super welcome and comfortable as had never been to this pub before. Will 100% definitely be going back more often as have just moved local to the area so will be using this at my N1 pub to go to. Would rate this pub and the service 5 stars especially! Thankyou again Nicola for making us feel so warm and welcoming.

Went here for dinner at the weekend and the food and service was top tier. Quick service at the bar and not a long wait on the food. I had the Katsu burger which I think was new to the menu and it did not disappoint! Proper curry sauce it was lush. Service was really friendly too we spoke to a lady called Nicki who let us know she was the new manager and the plans she had. We are excited to come back again to try out more of the menu!

Lovely service and food from Chef Jo

Popped in with my 2 children the place had a lovely atmosphere the food was amazing highly recommend the staff are welcoming would like to personally thank Claire for the service she went way and beyond and made the experience very worth while customer service

I visited the kings head today the barstaff was really polite and friendly she was really busy with a big food order but still made time to serve me a drink thanks Claire

Lovely little pub, only stopped for a couple of drinks so I'm yet to taste the food but the staff were friendly, as were the other customers. Tables were clean and chairs comfortable. There's a beautiful fireplace and a couple of tvs showing a sports channel. They also have a really pretty beer garden, which I bet looks even more lovely in the summer. This pub is dog friendly and has lots of parking at the front, it's also only a few minutes walk to a bus stop and about 10 minutes to the train station!

We was having a works night out so their was about 25 of us and the bar staff worked very hard, we wasn’t waiting for ages to be served. The DJ was fantastic. Will definitely be making it a regular thing

Christmas day dinner was an absolute joke with people walking out having to wait 3 hours to eat no staff 1 chef cooking for everyone on Christmas day No stuffing on plate no desert but still a good day

christmas day we did not receive any food sat waiting for 2 to receive nothing worst christmas for all my family staff was shocking and rude got a refund but that is not good enough won’t be back shame this pub was good 2 years ago Marston need to look at staff and management

We booked for a family Christmas dinner as a party of 11 people for 13.00. When we arrived in the main bar it was already very busy and we were greeted by friendly but busy bar staff. We got our drinks and headed to our table. The starters came out quickly and they were all to a very good standard and everyone was happy with them. There wasn’t many families sat down at this point but during the next hour the restaurant quickly filled up. It became obvious that there was limited staff working and they were running round servicing tables as quickly as they could, our main course came out about 1 hour and 15 minutes after we finished our starters but we didn’t complain because we could see the immense pressure the staff were under. Everyone’s main course was lovely and hot and fresh, the chef really did a great job After about another hour we helped clear our own table so the waitress didn’t have to and then our desserts came which again were to a high standard All in all our we were sat for about 3 hours and was given a free round of drinks due to the delay but we cannot praise and thank all the staff that were working so hard to keep everyone as happy as possible It was the first day at this pub for the lady behind the bar and although she struggled for most of the service on her own with a packed bar she always remained calmed and smiled the whole time I hope all the staff got a huge bonus and well done to such a great team! *****

20 plus of us booked Xmas dinner here ages 2 to 80 We sat down to eat at 2 and starters arrived 90 minutes later we then waited 3 hours for main courses that never arrived At this stage we asked for a refund and left This ruined everyone’s Xmas day plus other customers were left with nothing to eat Would never go back here again it’s an absolute joke

We booked here for dinner on Christmas Day in total 22 of us We were told at 2pm the table was ready for us and our starters arrived 1 hour and 30 minutes later The place was in utter chaos and other diners moaning about where there dinner’s were At 5pm still no dinner so we all left So Christmas Day was ruined by there inefficiency WE WONT BE RETURNING!!!

We arrived at 1pm for the Christmas day meal we had the starter around half an hour after we got here but the main disappointment of the main meal was that we had to wait for 2 hours and a half hours straight without our Christmas meal it finally came at 4pm but unfortunately one of the members of our table couldn't wait anymore, the bar service was terrible it was a 25 minute wait definitely wouldn't recommend coming for Christmas dinner here receiving this poor service also a table of 20 beside us left because of the poor service provided

I'm sitting in the restaurant amongst quite a few very unhappy people. We all booked a Christmas lunch. Our lunch was booked for 2 pm Christmas day, so far we have been waiting 2 hours for service. people are leaving without having had anything to eat, we paid upwards of £60 per head to have our Christmas ruined. Will never come to this venue again. No apologies or anything, the staff are overwhelmed and starting to get grumpy with all the customers. It's a bloody sham.

I would have given 4 stars if the owner hadn’t charged us for an extra person who didn’t show up for the meal. I find this practice absurd—it has never happened to me, even at the best restaurants. It feels unfair and unreasonable. If 3-4 people don’t turn up, would they charge for all of them too? Ridiculous!

So very mixed feelings but the staff were lovely but the christmas dinner could have been better (and hotter). Starter and pudding were great and very good value for money.

A bit worried after reading other reviews before going, but was excellent in all ways for us. Fish and chips was excellent as was the beef lasagne.

Had a lovely lunch. Guys behind the bar were great. Those fat chips are awesome!

Booked for my sisters 80th birthday, it was a family party. The venue was great, food was great. But what they neglected to tell us was Children had to leave by 9.30pm so 3/4 of our family had to go. As it was a very special occasion we had invited the children as it was her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Had we been informed we would have either booked elsewhere or arranged sitters. I brought cleaning stuff with me but was told by the shift manager to leave everything and that cleaners would do it. Then to overhear them running us down for the mess. We had bagged most of it and put everything together. We did what we could. Most disappointing evening

Zara and Joe were both extremely helpful. The food was to die for (order a cheeseburger or lasagna if you visit) and Zara’s bar and social skills were very welcoming. Can’t wait to see them again!

NO PIZZA TOPPINGS ON PIZZA & PINT NIGHT NO ICE FOR DRINKS NO BUTTER FOR BREAD So it's Monday. I've decided to play some poker, due to the tournament starting at 19.30 I thought to save time and eat at the pub .......BIG MISTAKE!!!!! I asked for the pepperoni pizza only to be told they had no pizza topping and I could only have a margarita, .......... OK in which case I'll have the mix grill please........sorry sir no mixed grill.......rather than risk picking another unavailable option I asked what they did have available. Eventually settled on leek & potato soup and a burger. Then I asked for a pint of coke with ice only to be told they also have NO ICE. When the soup (if u could class that over microwaved green blob as soup) arrived instead of being accompanied with half a baguette as advertised it was accompanied with two dry bits of brown bread. I asked for some butter and guess what ........NO BUTTER. On a more positive note I could not fault the burger and chips.

This is an absolute amazing family pub, the staff were amazing and so friendly. The food was lovely as well. I hold happily come back here and bring more people. 10/10

Friendly staff and good value pub grub food, burgers, chicken, steaks, scampi, fish, lasagne etc.

Food was great , Zara and her team was very helpful had a lovely sunder dinner great atmosphere all in all was very nice 10/10

6 of us had meal last night, very quite only 2 other people at tables at around 5.30, food was good. Decor was old faded & dirty the pub needs a complete re-furb, shame it's been let go so badly, so can only say, good food, poor surroundings

A nice little pub with an extensive food menu at reasonable prices.

Went to the Kings Head for lunch today. It was fairly quiet at the time so easy to get a table. The menu had a good selection of options and there was a separate gluten free menu as well. Overall certainly enough options for lunch or the evening. my partner had he scampi and i had the steak pie. we waited about 15mins for the food and both meals were really tasty & enjoyable. it was good value for money and an added bonus that they accepted the 'Tastecard'. the staff were pleasant as well. Will definitely return, perhaps for a family meal next rime. Well done the Kings Head for good honest value food, very important these days!

Didn't get food only drinks, nice pub, nice outside area,

The meals and service were extremely good as usual. Very good value.

Welcomed when we arrived. Great service felt really welcome. Food was lovely. Zara and the team went out of there way to make us welcome ☺️

Came this evening for a friends birthday, the manager was really kind, the lady serving food and bar staff were really friendly

Great service food and drinks lovely pub.

Popped in for a few drinks for my friends birthday. Was welcomed on arrival! Manager couldn't be more helpful, staff was friendly and welcoming. Food was lovely

Lovely pub, helpful staff, great food. Special mention to Jo who was very friendly. Will be back soon.

Food was fantastic, prices were good. lovely and friendly staff, very helpful. Great atmosphere. Will definitely go again.

We visited twice and both times had lovely meals. Fresh food, tasty and hot. Highly recommend.

A real let down. The food was okay, pretty bland and quite a distance from what the menu describes. The real let down was the prawn cocktail which was drowned in Monterey sauce so much that you could drink it. All chefs make mistakes so I was not upset and simply sent it back after having a few bites and asked a staff member, who immediately agreed with my observation, to ask the chef to fix. Unfortunately nothing came back and no further gesture was offered. Instead the same staff member and chef sat next to us smoking a couple of cigarettes. Very confusing and insulting to my patronage.

Great local pub. Went with friends for dinner and a beer. Didn't dissapoint on both. We recieved a warm & friendly welcome, taken to a table and the ordering system explained. Whilst ordering from the table was an option, we ordered from the bar which was easy & friendly. Our meals arrived in about 20 minutes which was perfect. All 3 were piping hot, looked and tasted fab! The Kings Head is a great venue, lots going on and we were told about lots of Christmas events planned. I'll definetly be back when in the area!

Great place to have family gatherings! Great function room and Buffett options to choose from, also have good Dj event nights which is great to!

Great food and service. Was happy with the quality of food and the time in which it arrived was pretty fast. The staff were happy to serve and made sure everything was good when I received it.

Was brought my food for two people ask for beer and was told I would have to go bar or go on the app by the member of staff not helpful .

Lovely pub very accommodating for a fussy eater. All staff very welcoming and helpful We’ll definitely be returning 👍🏻

We had the mixed grill with chips, fish and chips with peas, meat lovers pizza and steak and ale pie with chips, followed by sticky toffee pudding sherry trifle cheesecake and chocolate fudge cake. The hot food was perfectly cooked, the portions generous and the chef was very attentive and personable checking our requirements. The pub was very quiet but we didn't mind as it gave us a chance to have a good conversation without struggling to hear one another. I definitely recommend the King's Head for a tasty meal in a relaxed setting.

Everything was so much better than the last time we visited. The food was perfect, staff were lovely and everyone had a great time. I must add that the pizza was extremely tasty! My family had a great time celebrating our sons 21st birthday. Thank you for the great hospitality.

Lovely friendly local pub. Popped in for a pint and found it very friendly. Service was excellent. Food being served looked great

Lovely pub great food and friendly staff, it’s very welcoming will definatly be coming back!

Had this amazing burger and it was the best burger I have had in a long time and the chef Jo and barman Jordan were great! So happy with the service

Our first time here, and was such a nice experience, Jo was a fantastic chef and our food was fantastic, and the service from Jordan on the bar made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend this place for a nice relaxing meal with good food and drinks.

We had a booking for 8 people, but there was no designated table prepared for us, didn't even have anyone welcome us in. No table big enough so we had to move a table ourselves. After sitting down and asking them to clean the table for us, another member of staff made us move as we were slightly obstructing the way to the toilets and for health and safety purposes (even though we wasn't blocking them) and told us to move to a different table that wouldn't be in the way of other diners when we put a table on the end which then meant we were completely blocking the fire exit. Clearly h&s doesn't really matter. Even though we were there for Sunday lunch (1pm) they didn't have some of the items on the menu, including 2 out of the 3 roast options. After 55 minutes of waiting, the food finally arrived and wasn't great. Steak wasn't cooked to order, fish batter was soggy, roast chicken over cooked and garnishes missing. Been a long time since we last came and will certainly be a long time until we come again.

Had an amazing family lunch. Despite having no grill and therefore a reduced menu, the staff did amazingly well and we all chose a variety of meals including a Sunday Roast, Scampi, Hunters Chicken and a Veggie Burger. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food. Big shout out to Jo who did an amazing job looking after us.

Great place , awesome atmosphere, perfect service.

Staff are amazing and food fantastic Highly recommend

Chicken wings nice n crispy, tenders n popcorn chicken hot n tasty. Cheese bits lovely flavour just a stingy on portion size for £4.99.overall good value. 👍

This was the worst meal I have had out. Had the chicken roast - the meat was okay but the vegetables were terrible. One of our group asked for the vegetarian sausages with the roast vegetables - the unappetising sausages arrived about 20 minutes before the vegetables which were terrible. The pub did not feel very welcoming or very clean. The place was nearly empty - word has obviously got around about the standard of the food. We only went there because all the other local ones were booked up

Food not available when I visited, which was surprising at 5pm. This wasn't a problem though as I was there for the football, which was a great atmosphere and staff worked very hard to keep up with drinks needed.

Great guys… went in for a wine bottle and the lad who served me was superb

Will not return here. Party of seven , no bacon on hunters chicken , no chips for half of orders so had to have FRIES.. Chicken was tough and crumble was very hard . Not good at all .

Lovely people , service was great. Very friendly stuff

We had a drink and food here absolutely tasty and staff are lovely. Chef, best . Definitely we be back!!!

Awful place....where do I start. Dirty and rundown, needs a deep clean and complete refurbishment. Tables, menus dirty, food staining on the walls, chairs tatty....I could go on. No one to greet or point you to a table or even a notice telling you to take a seat and order at the bar. Eventually when food was served.... mains arrived before the starters. When we asked where the starter was, the server marched off back to the kitchen, came back with starters and plonked them on the table...in the middle of the main courses. Needless to say the chicken strips and popcorn were dried up. Everyone had something missing on their mains plate...no peas, no sauce, no sour cream or no gravy as listed on the menu. No excuse as there were only 3 tables of customers, 12 people in total. When we complained, we were given 30 per cent off the bill...some consolidation....but we won't be rushing back anytime soon. This was the second time within a few weeks that we visited this pub...last time (2 of us, totalling 9 in the restaurant area) we waited 2 hours for the food to be served, firstly to the wrong table and then items missing. Shame, as it used to be a lively pub with events and live music. Food was basic, but cooked well and service was good. But as for our visit last Saturday night... there's more life in a cemetery.

Jo in the kitchen is absolutely lovely and super helpful. Delivered the food out herself with a lovely smile. Top service.

had a great afternoon with family in the snug. Very attentive staff who were very friendly, nothing was to much. one of my favourite local places to spend time with friends and family. thanks so much the Kingshead, once again!

Went in the pub today was really greeted by friendly staff and land lady was very very helpful and the service was fantastic I will recommend the pub to my friends also first time in my pub will be using it again in the future

Friendly and helpful and very good service

Steak And ale pie. Under Cooked pastry, steak inards bland. I think it had carrot in the pie And no mention of it on menu. Maybe, I should hope its carrot and not swede or ill be ill. Chips bland and no finesse with food presentation.

Extremely rude lady on the bar. We were there last Friday afternoon. The lady on the bar who was extremely rude and had no sense of customer service at all! We were greeted with 'What do you want? Couldn't be any more miserable!! Ordered food, she slammed on the table and told us' if we need cutlery or anything to go inside to get ourselves. What a ......! Seriously if you don't like that job, you know where the door is hun!! And I've been polite! What a Joke!

Didn't have paper napkins on the table. One employee, Jo, was clever and got us some kitchen roll. Later she discovered two napkins and brought them to us. We sat by the windows on a sunny day but it still seemed a bit dim. Lighting could be improved. Noise from enthusiastic watchers of football on the bar TVs.
