Really good pub/restaurant. Service was amazing the food was to die for. The only grievance I have is the Opening hours that are displayed on Google are wrong. Other than that. No fault.

The location and ambience are good, and the food (burgers, fish & chips, pasta) was also tasty. But unfortunately the service was disastrous - it took a total of 90 minutes for the food to arrive (and it was only half full). There was no information from the waitress, no apology and no offer to bridge the waiting time - that was very annoying...

There were five of us and the food was really good. Fish and chips was great and the cheeseburger was really tasty. Almost a little insider tip. Everything at fair prices. ------ There were five of us and the food was really good. Fish and chips was great and the cheeseburger was really tasty. Almost a little insider tip.

Frustrating evening tonight. Walked in tonight have been to this pub a number times in the past. Went with a group of 5 sailors. Wasn’t a great welcome. To be fair the food was mainly good. What wasn’t good or right was being accosted by a pissed local who seemed to delight in trying to be rude behind my back whilst still being in clear ear shot. Like all bullies he didn’t like it when I said no my wife wasn’t ugly and no I didn’t want to shake his hand! Sorry to leave this review but there was a moment the bar staff/manager could have said something and she didn’t.

We usually walk past this pub, but the recent reviews were good so we gave it a try. We were not disappointed. Everything was perfect. We had pie and mash, scampi, buttermilk chicken burgers, fruit crumble, Eton mess and chocolate brownie. Each one was trimmed with home made relish, tartare sauce and trimmings etc, the chips were super hot crisp and fluffy (perfection) the Eton mess was a home made meringue with oodles of fruit and compote. It really was excellent. Home made and not the usual mass produced fayre you get in some pubs these days. Very reasonable prices too. The decor is lovely. It was cosy and homely and the staff were super friendly. I suspect this will be our new local in Yarmouth! In summary I would say as good as the George as affordable as the Bugle. Definitely recommended!

Recently reopened the Kings Head is conveniently situated in the centre of Yarmouth. We had a great Sunday roast there this week and they were one of the few places serving after 2:30 in the afternoon. Good service and good food. Friendly staff. Came out stuffed.

On entry to the pub we had a lovely welcome from very friendly staff. The pub wasn’t busy on a lovely sunny day. Ordered a couple of drinks and food. A little wait for the food which duly arrived. We had scampi and the steak, mushroom and ale pie. The scampi and chips were volcanic, but not unpleasant. They were served with mushy peas, not something I wanted or ate, I would have preferred ordinary pease. The Steak, mushroom and ale pie was served in what can only be described as a deconstructed state. It almost looked as if it was thrown on the plate (hopefully not past it and on the floor!) this was woefully over cooked and to be frank the meat was burnt. We did raise this with the staff member who just said ‘I’ll mention it to chef’ We paid and left but would not recommend this place for food, okay for a pint but that’s all

Booked a table for Sunday 1430. Arrived at 1420. Food ordered at 1425. Waited for over an hour for our food after being told when ordered it would be about 30 minutes. When chased about the order (4 roasts) we kept being told they were on the way. When they finally arrived at 1550, the potatoes and Yorkshire puddings were rock hard due to being overcooked and the vegetables were hard due to being raw. The meat was ok although the roast pork belly hadn't been butchered correctly and they had left the bones in. Another table of 4 people had booked the same time as us and they gave up at 1530 and left, we wish we had left too. Won't be eating there again.

We went to the Kings head for a Friday night out and to have some food. We are both vegan and ordered a vegan burger and vegan Wellington, which were very tasty, but also filled us up. There was a young lady singing lots of cover songs and she was brilliant, and just made for a great evening.

I had the pleasure of performing at The Kings Head in Yarmouth this past Friday, and I must say, it was an experience to remember. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was electric—buzzing with the anticipation of a great night ahead. The staff were incredibly welcoming and professional, ensuring that the setup for my gig went smoothly. My sound system setup was top-notch, allowing for a crisp and clear performance. It's evident that The Kings Head values quality entertainment and goes the extra mile to provide an excellent experience for both performers and patrons alike. The audience was fantastic—engaged, appreciative, and clearly included some regulars who know how to appreciate good music and a good time. It's not often you find a venue that brings together such a wonderful community of people. Let's not forget the food and drinks—absolutely divine. Whether you're a fan of traditional pub fare or looking for something a bit more gourmet, The Kings Head has you covered. The drinks menu is extensive, offering something for everyone, from local ales to fine wines. All in all, The Kings Head in Yarmouth is more than just a pub; it's a cornerstone of the West Wight community, a haven for music lovers, and an absolute must-visit if you find yourself in the area. I can't wait to return for another gig and another unforgettable evening.

I’ve been seafaring for a good many years, dropping into ports and small towns across this great nation, and decided to try somewhere new called the Isle of Wight. Quite an exotic little island, I found myself in the seaside town of Yarmouth where I happened to stumble into the Kings Head. Upon walking into this fine establishment I was welcomed with what I could almost literally describe as open arms and was made to feel straight at home with the jovial and quite witty bar man. Anyway, I digress. As the day went on I decided this place looked like it could cook up a seriously good meal and I wasn’t wrong. I ordered the mushroom wellington and frankly, it was borderline a miracle of a meal. Possibly the best Wellington this side of the Brazilian football scene. I was aghast, shocked frankly at how good it was. Literally, this one meal, this one pub, just everything has almost coaxed me to pack up shop and settle down on this scenic little island. What a pub! 12/10. Top service.

My girlfriend and I had to check out of our Air BNB at 11am and our ferry wasn't until 4pm, so we went to the Kings Head to pass the time. We had some chips, which were great, and even though there was an issue with the electricity, the staff remained upbeat and happy the whole time. We stayed there for a good few hours, and when I got my girlfriend a coffee, I was given a free espresso, which was greatly appreciated too! The beer wasn't bad either! Great pub and I hope to return soon!

Friendly and attentive staff, very nicely decorated, food is good. I found my sweet chilli chicken very hot. So sadly I could not eat it , staff aware, but no alternative offered. However it did have chilli in the title of the dish, a 4 chilli warning might have been useful. Steak and Kidney pudding was superb. Looks like the chef knows their stuff and much seems homemade which is great. Also reasonable pricing for Yarmouth.

My family and I were visiting from Australia last month. It was a busy Saturday evening and we decided to go to this pub for dinner. As I was waiting to order at the bar, I was shocked to see the male bar manager having a go at the much younger female staff member, apparently for not pouring her pint to the standard he expected- even through she poured it perfectly. When this occurred, there were about 4/5 other men at the bar waiting to be served and it was clear that he did this as he knew he had an audience- it was a power-play move. The poor woman looked so humiliated as she was publicly scolded and none of us knew were to look. It was so unprofessional, paternalistic, misogynistic and just gross behaviour. Something that you’d see in a pub in 1970, not 2022. A part from him the staff were lovely, food was great and we loved the music. The bar manager needs to get back into a time machine and return to the era where he belongs. Men should not treat women this way, regardless of rank and status. If he had a problem with her performance there are ways and means of doing this instead of humiliating the poor woman.

The food was good but not exceptional and the portions were large enough for anyone (I hope). Update 2022, food service stops at 20:30! Surprising. However, we were here earlier and it remains a good option.

On positive points - beautiful place full of character- friendly and attentive staff - nice setting and decor. . On negative side - very cold and not comfortable at all. Lovely old open fireplace that had a few remaining glowing embers in it but front door wide open for duration of our visit. I didn’t take my coat off whilst we were there as was just too cold. We had a roast lunch , it being Sunday. Nice menu but the portions were extremely miserly especially for the prices. I had loin of pork at £18 and got just 2 small slices of rather dry pork. Little square of crackling which wasn’t particularly good. There was very little veg - the Yorkshire pudding was very nice as were the roast potatoes. It was a pity that the rest of the meal didn’t match up. The others in our party of 7 were equally unimpressed I’m afraid. The cauliflower cheese was very poor , just mush in a sauce and was cold in the middle, we had to ask for it to be heated up. Just not good enough at all. I suspect the kitchen was having a bad day as on the table next to us a Gentleman was in full flow complaining about his meal. One of our party also had to ask for the crumble to be heated up as it was lukewarm. Such a shame as it could have been so much better.

Enjoyed all areas of this characterful establishment many times over the years. On this occasion a family gathering in the adjacent "boatshed" was just the ambience we needed away from the (enjoyable though it was) bustle of the bar. Good pub grub in generous portions, and well kept local ales. The staff were all so accommodating to any dietary foibles, and were exceptionally friendly and welcoming (as were other customers too). I nearly forgot to mention the stunning sunset views across the sea. Not much out there until you reach the Caribbean. Look forward to returning.
