Quaint little pub on the coast with good food. Accommodated us for an early dinner with no notice so quiet to begin with but picked up as the reserved clients started turning up. Parking a bit of a challenge but worth the effort.

'The Kings Head' is a rustic, cozy inn. There is a bar in the entrance area, and tables are placed in the rest of the guest room. There is also a small beer garden behind the building. The food was the best we've had in the area (Deal, Walmer and Kingsdown) at a fair price. Dogs are welcome here. When we were welcomed there was not only a bowl of water, but also a dog bone.

Food is supposed to be excellent as we were told by other guests, on Monday there was no food available BUT we were allowed to order from various take away restaurants and they delivered the food to the pub. We got plates and cutlery from the pub and enjoyed our meal in the beer garden with a lovely pint of Guinness and Cider. The lady in the pub was so nice and helpful! Payment is possible with credit card. A group of very sweet musicians played traditional songs and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. It’s just a 10 minutes walk from the campsite and also very close to the beach.

Unfortunately, places like this are rarely found in England anymore. A British freehouse as you imagine it. Very nice owners, good home-made food and the best ales I was able to try in my 3 week holiday in the UK. Even as a tourist you feel very welcome. A return visit is definitely planned for the next holiday on the “island”.

Called in for food, was told no tables due to quiz night, it was empty, we went down the road had a drink at the Zetland then went for food in the Rising sun, and walked back up the hill past this place and it was still empty, could it be they do not want campers in there on quizz night ? There loss we had several drinks two meals and two sweets so they lost our money and we will not visit again. They did not even try to accomodate us point blank No. We would of been happy to sit at the bar or in the tap room. Your reply just shows how you treat others, you obviously do not know what a snowflake is, you have simply heard the word and feel it makes you sound good. I did get what I wanted, I got a lovely meal and a cold beer and received great service, met some great locals just not in your place. The way you have taken my review you appear to be overly emotional and easily offended, Sounds like your Snow flake comment refers to you. If your kitchen staff could not cope with two extra covers you have a serious problem, I guess that must be your problem you can not cope with more than 5 covers.

The pub is located in the middle of the small town of Kingsdown - parking spaces at the entrance to the town. It's quaint, typically British with a separate pub and restaurant area - simple but warm! We always enjoy coming here!

My friends and I visited while we were roadtripping and camping through the UK per the recommendation of the campsite and we were so happy we did. The pub is everything I'd expect (as an American) of an old English pub. It was small, warm, welcoming, and had great beer. The owner even made us complimentary sandwiches at the end of the night while we were finishing up our last beers. We were by far the youngest people in the pub but we didn't feel out of place. Everyone was welcoming and even came over to talk to us. We didn't get a chance to try to the food because we came in late in the evening, but everything on their menu and in the reviews looks great as well. If I'm ever back in the area, I'd make this a must-visit. Cheers!

Lovely old traditional pub. We all loved the real ales and the food. The burgers (chilli cheese) were the best. Thanks for looking after us. Another visit. Sunday evening. Skittles match was on outside. Lovely beer garden. Absolutely buzzing inside and out - and again, great real ales. Barmaid was really welcoming and pleasant. And funny. Great night.

It always amazes me when you walk into a 'free house' and see Carling on the bar; so the owner has actually 'chosen' to sell it - I'll never get over that. The pub is situated in the middle of Kingsdown village - a near chocolate box scene. We didn't eat here, but the Sunday Lunch looked really good. The beer garden was a bit like sitting in Steptoe's yard, but sort that out and you would have the quintessential English village pub.

Si quieres vivir inglaterra, desde las comunidades rurales y costeras, Kings Head es el lugar perfecto para ti. Una comunidad muy muy muy inglesa, de encanto, con mucha historia que contar, buena cerveza, buena comida y espectacular el dia del quizz o el squeetel, puedes competir con los lugareños, a una partida a los dardos, pero sin duda lo mejor son las personas que hacen de Kings Head un lugar entrañable.
