The Kings Head in Forest of Dean

Family of 9 went dining,food was off good standard, recommend if hungry and passing value for money,

No mobile signal and no connection to WiFi

Lovely staff and exceptional kids play area. Food convenient

Excellent place to stop of for lunch as its on the way home or when we travel from South Wales to Essex without driving on motorways. Service was friendly quick anf the food was very enjoyable.

Pop in yesterday evening as we do often, very friendly staff, excellent service, excellent food. I had the steak and ale pie and cheese cake, the wife had the classic burger and bonofi (not aa great speller)pie. Prices very reasonable.

The pub its self is lovey clean and well looked after as was the children’s play area sadly however we were left disappointed by the food it was definitely not the quality I was expecting by the price of the meals

Lovely people, lovely place. Thanks.

Popped in for lunch while out on our motorcycles, it was quiet at the time but the lady staff member was delightfully chatty, the Stake and Ale pie was splendid, and the apple crumble and custard really hit the spot! We will definitely be returning, the roads and countryside surrounding are beautiful, and perfect for our training trips. Knowing there is a lovely place like this, right on the A40, loads of parking space and a welcome, makes route planning easy! Thanks, see you again soon!

Lots of place to park... overlooked a stud farm...

We ate in the pub. Lovely meal large portions. Friendly staff.

Ate here with a coach tour. Very good food, luvly staff and clean pub and very nice. Will be back.

Dog friendly pub, with excellent food at great prices, I travel around the country and have never had a Hunters chicken this good!

Pleasant service off peak. Well run pub. Good car park.

Visited on the 2nd January for lunch. Enjoyed a lovely homemade lasagne which came with a huge salad and a side order of chips. Nicely presented and service was excellent. Food was obviously cooked fresh to order. Enjoyed a couple of ice cold pints of Stowford Press cider. Would recommend 👍

Ok, so why on earth this place hasn’t put the prices up god only knows!! It’s a steak house quality at hungry horse prices. The food is absolutely amazing flavour, very generous portions, but rock bottom prices. We were shocked at how great this restaurant was and wish we lived nearer because we want to try more menu items. Highly recommended!

Good portion sizes, fairly standard pub grub otherwise. Lots of seating, friendly staff.

I visited the Kings Head pub for a christening last weekend. Although the restaurant was incredibly busy at the time, the service provided by the entire team was outstanding. They remained professional, calm and couteous at all times. The buffet that was put on by the restaurant was of a high quality and was regulary refilled. The restaurant area was busy during my visit there, as was the bar area but the team were well managed and organised to deal with that effectively. Best Pub in the Area.

Lovely pub, staff friendly. Great play area for children, plenty of parking. I popped in with my husband just for a pint and a coffee, will definitely be back again to sample the food, menu looked varied and value for money

I've enjoyed my stay here the staff are so helpful and nothing was too much trouble the room was clean and we had a balcony it was a extra bonus to sit and enjoy a coffee outside food was great

Nice place to visit, especially if you are taking children with you. Food was lovely too

Amazing service recieved. Delicious food, welcoming pub on the main road in Huntley Definitely recommend.

Had some lunch not the best, very expensive for low quality food, staff very friendly

We went for a roast today, absolutely delicious, would recommend the food 100% lovely staff & so attentive. Thank you x x

Always nice to visit the Kings Head. Really friendly staff and a good pint of beer. Food very good aswell 😋

Lovely dinner very friendly staff

Family meal For 18th birthday celebrations

Beautiful location...food was delicious and staff very friendly...highly recommend 💫

Driving to Hereford with my family decided to stop for Sunday lunch, best decision of the day!! Food was amazing with large portions! We raved about it all the way home, will have to pop in again!

Very old fashioned, nice simple menu with plenty of choice. Quite expensive for the quality of the food

Just stopped for a drink really nice atmosphere play area for the kids 👌🏻

Amazing place, good food and lovely staff.

Went for a bike night and it was fantastic, definitely will be going again.

Another branch of KINGS HEAD pub & Restaurant near A40 Gloucester. Great ambience, food and drinks. Perfect place for family and friends getogether. Spacious parking and children's play area available. Beautiful and quiet area. We had a Sunday dinner from here and happy to recommend this place without a second thought.

On a lovely day, where else? The setting is fab plenty of seats inside and out.

Lovely pub, nice staff. Plenty of parking.

Stopped for drinks and snack only

Great pub. Great playground Fantastic views Service was brilliant, very welcoming and friendly staff. Food was delicious, home cooked. Big portions as well. Perfect stop for a meal ,dri k and rest coming back from Symonds Yat. We will definitely return !

We have had dinner when passing a couple of times usually very good. Don’t know if last night was an exception it was terrible had to ask to warm up the pie which was well over cooked and mushy not a crispy top. The crumble also mushy but ice cream nice. We did get a refund as if they expected it to come back. Guys this is a great pub please don’t let it slip we have put our visit down to your busy or new chief

I had a lovely meal in the restaurant outside seating area was lovely

Popped in on way back from symonds yat, for a bite to eat. We popped here a good 10 years or so back after a fame of golf, the burgers weren't cooked properly raw in the middle. This time it wasn't much better, my husband had beef lasagna and it was a weird colour and watery so didn't eat much of it. My sons steak wasn't very hot, my hunters chicken was OK, but very dry. Won't be stopping here again.

We had lunch here today en route to Ross on Wye. The landlady warmly welcomed us. They have a large dining area. A lot of seniors were enjoying £14 for 2 courses promotion and the restaurant seemed to be fairly full. Kings Head offers a no fuss typical pub grub ( no pretence of being a gastro pub here ) We ordered one small burger with chips and one of their whopper burgers. The whopper is really a whopping combination of two large beef patties with two bacon rashers, two eggs along with 4 onion rings, chunky chips and crispy leaves and tomato salad. We hate wasting food and my wife somehow managed to finish her small burger meal but I struggled to finish my 'Whopper Burger' and ended up leaving most of the chips untouched. I am sure The Kings Head must attract a lot of passing trade just like us apart from the regulars. If you are hungry and in the vicinity, do drop in, you will leave happy and well satisfied.

Lovely family pub with big play area and interesting features, food was ok but should concentrate less on quantity and more on quality

Well what can I say! So very disappointed! Used to always go to this pub, but today... food was awful. A female member of staff was very rude and her manners were terrible. We complained and she said she would get the manager, but they never came out to see us. Last time we be going there. Pitty it used to be such a nice place. Credit only to the young lad who served us behind the bar, he was very polite and had lovely front of house manners.

Passing by and called in here for lunch. Myself, husband and dog. They have great deals on. We chose seniors 2 courses for £13. We chose the steak pie, chips and peas. Proper homemade pie with tender beef in gravy and nice pastry. Nice puddings as well. Really nice lady runn8ng the bar. Well recommended 👌

Recently been quite good, but Christmas dinner very disappointing.

Clean room, comfy bed, great food, warm fire and extremely helpful staff. 😎😎😎

I think the Xmas decorations look amazing the chap that put them up is awesome you really should give him a bonus for the fabulous work.....xx

Great service and food. Friendly staff. Highly recommended

A little misunderstanding about the booking initially but promptly fixed. Dinner was excellent

Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit ! Die Gastgeber sind sehr sympathisch und sehr höflich. Die Zimmer sind sehr funktional. Die Lage ist wunderschön. Das Frühstück ist ausreichend und vielfältig.

Been before to the Kings Head for a family get together. Went again today and the Sunday Lunch was 2nd to none. Amazing quality and large portion size and with a free dessert!!! Highly recommended and will be returning for more wonderful food and the warm welcome.

Absolutely wonderful food and service. Steak pie was genuinely homemade and the best I've had from a pub meal in a long time. Thank you and we will see you very soon.

We stayed here for a weekend. the staff were really helpful and very friendly very basic but extremely good value for money

Just had drinks here. Quaint n lovely place 😊

Always good beer and good food served here

Went for lunch. Food and service was amazing. Definitely value for money. Would highly recommend

Food expensive and not particularly good quality. No fan in the room. Very noisy kitchen fan that was on most of the night. Expensive for one night.

Whilst in the area visiting family they recommended the Kings Head and we were not disappointed Food was fantastic and portion sizes are big making it very much worth the money. Would defo visit again.

A quick stop for lunch. Standard pub classics served quickly by pleasant staff

The food was amazing I'm definitely going back I can't wait ☺️

Called in on a random Sunday ride pleasant atmosphere with great food and reasonable prices + free desert with Sunday lunch! there's a play area for children outside I must comment on the cleanliness of the rest room / toilet as was the pub in general top marks 👍

Good was great & service was really good

Went for a 40th party. Lovely food and if you had a Sunday roast you could have a free pudding. That was also lovely. It was chosen for the children's play area which was very good.

Nice location for me in Wales good food and beer dog friendly and motorbike friendly great staff.

I phoned direct to book a room for myself yesterday booking on phone was quick good communication from member of staff I booked room with balcony was impressed with this staff are brilliant & breakfast was cooked to order which I prefer & was freshly cooked was lovely just a shame I couldn’t stay second night but had to work but will definitely book again

Stopped in gor food. Never stayed the night 🌙. Food was good 👍

We popped in for a quick drink, play area is great for the children, then it rained so we headed inside to play darts & a game of pool. Food smelled amazing, shall try some next time. Friendly staff.

Nice food, nice place, nice staff and all at a reasonable price

Brilliant time had playing pool with our friends staff showing good hospitality

Worst Sunday roast I've ever had, no fresh veg all out of a tin or out of the freezer.

Had Sunday dinner. It has got to be one of the worst Sunday dinners we have ever had. Meat was paper thin and tasted like it had been kept warm for ages. Veg was frozen. It was like eating a ready meal. Staff were pleasant with good service. Also forgot to mention my wine was warm. Wasn't cheap either. We have eaten in lots of lovely pubs whilst we have been on holiday this week and their food was fantastic and similar price.

Nice baguette and lager, sitting outside in the sunshine.

Lovely family friendly pub. Used to visit when younger. Stopped off last week for food and drinks. Had hunters chicken. Was delicious, lage meal, filling and definitely worth the money. Lovely place for a quiet meal

Met family here for my mum’s 80th birthday and staff were helpful and friendly. Huge portions and relaxed atmosphere.

This is the 3rd or 4th time of coming here for a meal with the family. Will be back again. Highly recommended. Fantastic menu and great staff

We had a lovely meal good portion and drinks reasonably priced nice and friendly staff definitely come again 🤠

Great food and fabulous portions!

We have used this excellent venue for over 50 years and can never fault it. It's a great family venue, nice views, great food and play area for the youngsters.

Good place to eat. Friendly staff. Would highly recommend

Been here quite a few times recently, food is always delicious, quick service and friendly staff. There’s not anything negative to say. I’d definitely recommend this pub

Evening meal with friends. Popped in this evening to a lovely toasty, festive welcome. 4 friends get together. Food was deliciously hot, good quality ingredients and lashings of it. Generous portions served with a smile. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and we will be back as well as recommend.

Myself, my husband and our kids come for a Sunday lunch, I asked for pork, they gave me beef, so asked politely to change it, it got scrapped of the plate and pork put on there with gravey scrape marks over the plate, then I tried my food, I had two tiny “ roast “ potatoes, which were so hard inside I struggled to cut, they were basically new potatoes, only I knew the difference as I had 2 small new potatoes on my plate and they more colour to them than my actual roast potatoes, the pork was dry and tasteless, as were the potatoes, the gravy was like dish water and completely bland. I had a soggy awful tasting Yorkshire pudding, which I had one bite and couldn’t eat also, after a couple of mouthfulls my husbands, apologised and said it’s not very nice, the manager come over, and told me she’s eating the same and it’s absolutely fine and she don’t see the problem. She was smirking at me and told me she won’t be refunding or doing anything about it as it’s fine. Her customer service is shocking. Their prices are absolutely shocking for the dogs dinner they’re actually serving! Her food is terrible. I wouldn’t employ her to work at a fast food restaurant, let alone a quite village “ warm welcoming “ pub.

Best steak and ale pie ever- tender melt in mouth beef with a rich ale gravy. Don't think just because the portions are large the food is basic. It's really good! Great meal

Large group of us had a meal for our sons 18th birthday, the food and staff were amazing and so accommodating, highly recommended and thank you for looking after us so well 😊

Good to see its still hanging in there,

Wonderful food and drink. Polite and friendly staff made us feel welcomed. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, spacious and clean. The food was great value and large quantity, the hunters chicken was the biggest I've ever had. Well cooked and if we visit the area again will definitely be back here.

Really nice friendly place esp to us bikers...😊

Lovely and clean and the food was excellent

Had my son's wedding reception at amici the food and service was excellent.

We stopped on the off chance for a Sunday lunch. Well the Sunday lunch literally filled the whole plate and was absolutely delicious, and to top it off we had a dessert in with the price.. all in all the service and food was fabulous, we would definitely call in again and would recommend it to anyone. Definitely worth 5 star rating.

Nice food, good value. Senior citizens 2 course menu excellent value and good size portions. Friendly staff.

Very friendly, good food, sensible prices.

Food was okay but location was good. Lots of parking space plus play area for kids so parents can sit outside on bench have drinks. Never seen a well inside a pub or restaurant before...

Nice and quiet, drinks are good. The place has a play area for children and lots of parking. Bathrooms seemed clean too.

Nice place, excellent food, staff were great.

Fantastic Bar well worth a look

Nice breakfast. We didn't stay but met family for brekkie who were.

Great place to stop and have a drink

Great pub with good value food. Service is fab and you don't need to book. Sunday lunch is also great value. Staff are friendly and always happy to serve.

Friendly staff. Good food. Happened to be passing on a way to another site so decided to stop and eat.
