The Kings Head in Boston

The food was ok, must have been a specials evening as not much to choose from. They seemed understaffed and busy, service after we got our food was poor. The chips were excellent, possibly a new season local potato, the desserts were also very good.

Sorry but our experience differs. We went in for a meal on a Thursday evening. They were not serving food as no-one else had bought meals that day and our dog was unwelcome in the bar, even though their website says he is.....avoid this place and drive a little further to the very welcoming bricklayers arms.

Yet again another superb experience at this lovely country pub. We have a warm welcome each time we go and Charlie our dog gets a treat. Great hosts and very accommodating with excellent food. Our go to pub for dinner. From the Julie gang.

We both had the Sunday Lunch. The medium portion at £10. One Turkey one Beef. Portions sizes were perfect. Lovely accompanying vegetables. Freshly cooked. The most fantastic gravy ever. The welcome from all the staff and the friendly service was a highlight. Highly recommended.

Absolutely marvellous plates of fish and chips. Lovely beer battered cod and haddock. The chips weren’t too shabby either. Home made not the commercial ones. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Visited this pub after having been several times before lockdown Very disappointed with the whole set up, so won’t be returning, didn’t realise it had changed hands,

Lovely to see this pub re-opened with new management. Lovely & clean. Friendly staff, Covid safe. New improved menu with some great pub classics & brilliant burgers which were very tasty & had proper chips !! Seating area outside too which will be great once weather warms up. Give the Kings Head Burger a go - it was lush

Great food and always friendly. Eaten here via take away regularly since lockdown and always fab food. Great quality and tasty. Highly recommended

After reading all the good reviews we decided to give it a go. Did not enjoy one bit. Everything over cooked. I have to accept that we do appear the exception rather than the rule.

Had intended to eat in Boston, as cycling through, but nowhere appealed, so was happy to see the Kings head, until realised it was just after 2pm, and the sign said food was until 2. But popped my head in and happily, they would serve me. Friendly service and good food so happy refreshed rider.

I took the family here for a meal out, we all ordered different meals off the menu, wow it was amazing I had the steak it was cooked to perfection. We will definitely be going back. The price is very reasonable too

After being recommended to go here it was a total let down from start to finish.We waited nearly 2 hours for our food and when my steak came I think they had been cooking it for that long!!! The scampi was also well over done!!! In the poor girls defence that served us she admitted that they should not have taken our booking as they were too busy anyway!!! But no deductions or good will was made to our bill.Will not be returning!!!!

Lovely meal and lovely company with landlord and lady very friendly would recommend nice local friendly pub with excellent service and food

Lovely displayed meals and delicious. Waitress was really busy and still managed to interact with the customers. She had some very difficult customers there and kept her cool, regardless of the restaurant being so busy!! Well done

Went to celebrate a birthday, party of 8. Great meal with lots of choice, the lamb was very tasty, would definitely recommend

We had a fantastic Fish Lunch, with nice fresh and crispy beer battered Cod, real chips and mushy peas. Superb value for money, the service was excellent with the food being brought to us nice and hot and very quickly. The pub is a lovely quaint and traditional old style Pub. Dale the chef and landlord has recently taken over the Kings Head, on first impressions will be an asset to the local area. As there will be meals served daily and various things going off in the Pub. Well worth a visit but if eating may be good idea to book , especially the Fish and chips and Sunday carvery. .

We had a wonderful tasty Sunday lunch here yesterday Pork and beef, 2 yorkshire puddings and lots of fresh vegetables and delicious gravy. Finished off by delicious banana and toffee cheesecake and cream and blueberry muffin and custard. Very friendly and helpful landlord and staff. We will certainly go again.

After a visit to the nearby 'We'll Meet Again' museum, we decided to stop at the King's Head in Freiston for a plate of fish, chips and garden peas. The quality and quantity were excellent and the manageress very attentive to our needs for a jug of iced lemon water and tartare/tomato sauces. The fish was delicious and the chips crispy and done to our liking.We were tempted to an exquisitely home-made apple crumble and custard and we were very sorry when we had tasted the last mouthful!A superb meal served with flair and panache....

Had a great Sunday dinner for our family group of 24 to celebrate my dads 75th birthday. The freshly prepared plates of piping hot food was served a table at a time , each one came with beef and pork , roast pots, Yorkshire puddings , stuffing, and a separate tray of fresh veg and an individual jug of gravy. Very tasty ! Accompanied by a well kept pint of batemans xb. A choice of puddings we’re also available. Thankyou Steve and Carolyn, we all very much enjoyed our visit.

Impromptu decision to dine - we had steak which was cooked to perfection. The whole meal was so tasty including the tasty honeycomb cheesecake. The service was excellent, and the amaretto just topped everything off - thank you

I took a group of 15 British Legion members for Sunday lunch and was glad I chose The Kings Head. We were met by the landlord who invited us into a lovely laid out dinning room. When we were all seated our order was taken by Steve who is a wonderful host.

15 of us went for Sunday Lunch today and the whole experience was “SMASHTASTIC “ we were greeted and seated on entry by a the landlord who played the host perfectly. The Roast dinner consisted os a large slab of Roast beef succulent Roast pork, TWO home made giant Yorkshire puddings new potatoes and crispy golden roast potatoes plus a stuffing ball ,each of us were served a dish of vegetables, broccoli, carrots,peas,parsnips and roasted red onions and to top it all off a jug each of delicious gray. Just a plate full of gourmet delight, hats off to the chef , dessert ( if you had room left ) was equally delicious. We all enjoyed it so much we have planned to visit again in September. The landlord gave us all a calendar on leaving which was a very nice touch.

We went yesterday 18/02/18 for lunch to celebrate a family birthday, the food was superb, the staff friendly and accommodating, amazing value for money, all set in a cosy village pub, we will be visiting again :-)

Hadn’t been to this pub for some time but decided to visit for an evening meal. Landlord very friendly and welcoming and the pub had a good atmosphere and was very warm and cosy.

The Bateman XB is truly the best kept Bitter I have had the pleasure to drink. We regularly travel up to the Shire from Surrey to drink this beer. Landlord and Landlady make all welcome.

We were here having a family drink and straight away were greeted very warmly by the landlords and nothing seemed too much trouble for them.several people were eating in their restaurant and it smelled and looked lovely.will definitely be returning to eat.a lovely pub nice people and the beer was perfect

We booked for the second year running for a pre-Christmas treat of fish 'n' chips at the King's Head and thoroughly enjoyed the warm, friendly atmosphere fuelled by the welcoming log fire in the bar.

We pre-booked for the Friday fish and chips,which was just as well as the pub got quite busy. We quaffed a pint of top notch Batemans bitter before tucking into haddock, chips and mushy peas...mmm cooked to perfection. We will definately be back soon.

Tuvimos una comida en un sábado por la noche y la comida era muy buena, aunque la variedad si el menú no dejes que esta abajo. Si no te gusta la carne, entonces no hay mucho.

No se pierda una visita a este cálido y maravilloso pub. Buena cerveza y comida a precios económicos. Si te encuentras gratis en una llamada el domingo por la tarde para un montón de diversión bingo

Un lugar fabuloso para comer y beber. El propietario/casera dar la bienvenida más cálida y la comida más sabrosa. Asegúrese de dejar en si estás en cualquier lugar cerca de Freiston y no te decepcionará. Estuvimos allí durante el día en la calle George salchichas...

Steve y Carol han sido en el pub durante un año, pero que han desarrollado un maravilloso rapport con los lugareños. La comida es de alto nivel y un precio moderado, así que el restaurante estaba lleno para comer el domingo. La decoración puede ser...

Encantador pequeño pub, buena comida - comino zanahorias asadas eran preciosas, el servicio amable, personal hospitalario y encantador bar, cerveza excelente

After a lengthy walk from Boston to Freiston Shore Nature Reserve and then back to Freiston, we were delighted to find the King's Head open for lunch. The owner was most accommodating and we were immediately served a pint of well kept bitter.The menu was smartly presented and looked attractive: we opted for scampi and chips and gammon and chips and the tasty home-cooked food was served creatively in separate containers which made a nice change from having everything piled on one plate. The gammon was really large and succulent.We just had enough room for a sweet and the lady in charge of the kitchen kindly came out to explain the options. She had just made a honeycomb cheesecake with crunchy bits and cream that morning and though it was no doubt teeming with calories, we thought it was exquisite--certainly the best cheesecake we had ever encountered!Congratulations to the Kings Head on setting such a high standard!

Visiting friends we had Sunday lunch at The Kings Head - what a treat, excellent food, friendly and efficient service and good value for money. Such a friendly place.

We have visited here several times for food and always had a good meal.They can't do enough to ensure you are having a good evening and the food is good great home cooked pub grub.For our last meal there were 10 adults, 8 of which had steaks all cooked differently, and all were served correctly within a few minutes of each other.

Very nice local pub with friendly owners and nice ale in the summer they have very welcoming and beautiful flowers out side very pleasent pub

I really enjoyed my first visit to the King's Head for a very long time. I arrived before my friends and I was greeted warmly, offered a welcome drink and shown to our table which was tastefully set out in the lounge behind the bar area.We had pre-ordered fish and chips (two x cod/two x haddock) and burger and chips and they were absolutely delicious and beautifully served with plenty of tartare sauce and ketchup available. The youngest member of the party commented on how good the chips were and managed to tackle most of his rather large plateful.We ordered a bottle of Jack Rabbit chardonnay which went down a treat.To top it off four of us found room for a sweet: two x ice cream and chocolate sauce and two x dime bar-type gateau with ice cream. Both desserts were delicious!This pub is not open on Mondays and Tuesdays, but it certainly makes up for that the rest of the week....

Have visited three times now; twice for Sunday roast and once for friday fish and chips.Each time we are greeted with such warmth, and the food really good quality and plentiful.Homely feel to the pub, both with decor and the owners.As dog owners we've taken our dog in who is also made welcome in the bar area whilst we eat. Lovely walk down at frieston wash about 10 mins from the pub.Highly recommended - we'll be back again soon!

18 of us sat down to an awesime Sunday lunch to celenrate Brownies birthday. Excellent service, lovely atmosphere, exceptional service and all paid for ny somebody else! Result :). Then to finish off a lovely day bingo and we won the meat raffle!

Anyone who reads my reviews knows i'm always on the lookout for dog friendly places where we can take our cavalier spaniels, Peanut and Pebbles with us for lunch, and we stumbled upon this gem of a place after a walk around Freiston Shore. I had the homemade stilton and broccoli soup, hubby had the gammon - both were delicious. We then tried the homemade apple crumble and custard - a scrummy bargain for £2.95. Hostess was lovely and very friendly to the dogs. We'll be back!!

Four of us went for the Saturday steak night. Very nicely presented meal, tasty steak, hand cut fresh chips, home made apple crumble and custard , couldn't fault it!

There was 13 in our party and we all enjoyed our meals, very tasty and presented well, never felt rushed, was made to feel very welcome. Lovely village pub atmosphere. Will definitely be eating here again.

Had a meal here after funeral. 21 persons and they did a fantastic job. Small and intimate, had lovely roast beef and pork, vegetables served separate. Owners could not do enough to ensure we were all catered for.well done.

We called into the Kings Head for a drink and Sunday lunch. It's a proper English pub, not a large chain, serving mass produced microwave food.The lunch was all homemade and we particularly enjoyed the fact that we were given a lunch with two meats and all of the vegetables and gravy were served in separate dishes for each person to help themselves. My husband and son enjoyed the homemade dessert of sherry trifle. The pub and restaurant is very welcoming and friendly.

Well worth a visit. A warm and friendly welcome,a proper English pub with a fine pint of Batemans and perfectly cooked Sunday lunch.

Went on Saturday evening to be told they now only serve food on Sunday lunch. Maybe it has changed hands?

Visited on fish and chip Friday, absolutely well worth the 150+ miles to taste perfection, a great atmosphere created by Gareth & Andrea who made us so welcome and appreciated, an absolute credit to the profession.Highly recommended..

We visited the Kings Head on the recommendation of friends and were more than happy we did. i would go so far as to say that the fish supper was the best we have had anywhere for a long time. Very FRESH fish,hand cut chips both cooked to perfection. Pleasant village pub with amiable hosts serving good quality food and ales in a pleasant clean setting. Hopefully they will get the trade they deserve and reintroduce a full menu as I,m sure whatever is cooked would be of an equal high standard. Going to have to try the Sunday lunch very soon.Phil L

This place is the best for fish and chips around here....... you sit in the bar having a nice drink in such a lovely atmosphere where the locals make you feel most welcome and the smell of fish is amazing and when your table is ready it is just wow!! The fish is so white and very tasty.... oh and not forgetting the hand cut chips!! I deliver to fish and chip shops around the county but never have I tasted fish this good.... cannot wait to get back off holiday to go again. ... the service in the pub is the best around town..

Even though they should have stopped serving food the owner and his wife were very kind and obliging. Lovely people, lovely food. Can see why the villagers look so happy!

Visited with friends. Friendly welcome. Excellent home cooked food, the gammon is really good. Would definitely visit again.

Always a friendly greeting in this country pub, home cooked great quality food.Nice group of friendly regulars always there for a chat

Can highly recommend the Kings head, there was a large party of us eating and nothing was too much trouble, the service was lovely and greeted with a warm and friendly welcome. The meals was delicious and nicely presented. We will definitely be returning.

A family of 8 all ate out last Saturday evening to celebrate daughters GCSE's results, lovely warm welcome, great food and drinks in a traditional country pub, would highly recommend a visit! We have also heard that fish and chip Friday is excellent! :)

We called in here for lunch on a Wednesday. It was such a refreshing change to be warmly welcomed by the barman. We sat in the bar to order our lunch with a very welcome pot of tea. The lunch choice is very limited. On the main menu was scampi and chips with side salad or ham and egg and chips. There were specials of jacket potato with the option of 3 fillings or a couple of salads. We chose the main menu and had 1 of each. Our meal was quickly ready and we ate in the dining room. The food was perfectly ok, just nothing out of the ordinary. The barman explained that it's usually very quiet at lunchtimes in the week which is why the choices are limited. I would like to have been able to give a higher rating as the barman was so nice and friendly, but due to the limited options and fairly ordinary meal I can't justify it.

Read the reviews which looked very good. A small country pub doing pub food. Food was good beer excellent but no atmosphere only us eating but it was early in the week. Nothing bad about it but nothing special.

Friendly village pub. We popped in for lunch as we were staying in the area. We were disappointed in the lunch menu in how limited it was. However our food was good .

Excellent fish and chips with the family . Warm welcome every time , very friendly pub 5* food & company

This is not a review this is a response to a previous untrue review about the kings head..... This is a really friendly village pub who serve good real ales, fantastic home cooked food, and other superb drinks. They do not advertise bed and breakfast and have absolutely no room to provide this service so I have no idea why the lady on the previous statement, who made the comments about the standard of the accommodation, posted her comments on here.(name: Di H from Lowestoft). They serve great food at reasonable prices, I really hope that the untrue comments about this friendly village public house doesn't put people off from visiting.

Went there on a friday for the fish. It was outstanding, very fresh and tasty, The beer was equally as good. I really liked the atmosphere of the fairly small pub. Feels relaxed and welcoming with very helpful staff.

wonderful experience. popped in by chance. excellent food, price and service very good. definitely recommend

The landlord Gareth keeps his Xb perfectly.Lovely relaxed atmosphere with superb home cooked food.Such a pretty pub,best in village.

Had heard about the food and decided to try it.the fresh cod was delicious and homemade chips too.great value and the whole pub was immaculate .landlords were very welcoming and friendly.definitely returning

Looking on the net for somewhere to eat we came across The Kings Head at Freiston Nr Boston.The greeting by the host was very welcoming and we were shown through to the dining room with our drinks. The room is so tastefully decorated and so to the food. Well the Garlic Mushrooms were the BEST we have ever tasted- my partner had the Chicken madrass and I had Breast of chicken in white wine sauce- DELICIOUS. If you are in the area DO GO THERE a little off the beaten track but OH! so worthwhile. In a pleasant country area- nice locals- we felt we were regular customers- which we certainly will be we have already booked for a return visit !!!

Excellent home made burgers service very friendly all friendly a most enjoyable evening and both Andrea Gareth and staff lovely not been here long but will be going back perhaps a bit more variation of menus needed as not everyone likes cheese or curries overall excellent visit give it a go

After a hard days work, my wife and I couldn't be bothered to cook for ourselves so we had dinner out with the perfect hosts Gareth and Andrea at the kings Head. We both had an excellent chilli and rice with garlic bread, as I was starving I asked for chips as well as rice, this was no problem and service was very quick. Thank for another lovely mealJo and Simon

I am not sure I am doing the right thing in praising this establishment, Everything about it is perfection and maybe I should keep it to myself. This was our first visit and the welcome was warm and sincere.The menu was not vast but certainly more than adequate and if you like a starter the garlic mushrooms are the best ever.For the main dish my partner had chicken which she enthused over for the rest of the evening. As for myself I had a curry and my mouth waters at the thought of it even now.Neither of us had a desert because we were too full. The plan is at our next visit to skip the starters and try the deserts which sound delicious.The building is beautiful inside and out, an absolute gem. The whole package as near to perfection as is possible.

Only been once but it was amazing, the service was brilliant and the food was just as good, can't wait to go again

Fresh fish is delivered from Grimsby every Friday and is served with homemade chips and mushy peas. This fish meal must be one of the best in the area. Today, Sunday lunch was roasted Spring Lamb and the accompanying vegetables were cooked to perfection. Landlord and landlady are very sociable and do everything in their power to please. They must be the best hosts around, and if this is not enough, Andrea sings for us occasionally!

Not being from the local area I was invited to go to this pub, and we all know what it's like when you are not a local... everyone likes to know who you are.... well I can say this did happen... and it made the visit more enjoyable!! The staff, especially the landlady, went out of their way to make me feel welcome. I can say there was no signs of "Peggy Mitchell" behind the bar here!! The food was second to none... tempted by the offer of a bbq on the hot sunny day, I declined the offer to eat here instead.. efficenct service, freshly cooked food and not a burnt sausage in sight!! Next time i go back i will be sampling a pudding.. didn't quite save room this time. There is a separate area for food so you can sample the full pub and dining experience.I would definitely go out of my way to visit this country pub again... If it's sitting inside or a pit stop on a country walk, this is the place for you... Make sure you are not the one who misses out on this place.... its worth a visit on any day of the week! !

Now I deliver to alot of food outlets all over Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire so I get to taste their food.... I can honestly say that this is the best fish i have tasted in a long while. When it's delivered onto the table the smell is lovely, I wasn't a fan of skin until I actually tasted it and I will be totally honest my plate was completely clean when I had finished. I would recommend this establishment to anybody and everybody, even the chips where hand cut!! Friendly couple who like everything to be spot on for their customers, nothing is too much trouble for them. The Sunday lunch is superb too as I treat my mum to one 3 weeks ago!!

we got a warm friendly welcome from Gareth when we went for another visit this weekend, we last went about 6 to 8 weeks ago but he remembered us. Once again we had a lovely meal of ham egg and chips it was lovely. we did enjoy our starter and dessert as well. Nothing was to much trouble both Gareth and Andrea have a pleasant personality, they work hard and deserve the lovely remarks they are given. Carry on the good work

We visited the King's Head for a family meal. The owners were extremely helpful and very friendly, and a couple of the locals that were in at the time were as welcoming too. The menu was typical pub food with enough choice. One of our group wanted the fish and chips, but were advised that this is only served on Friday when they order in fresh fish for the day's special. Shame such staple 'pub' meal wasn't available everyday but the food we had was excellent and the service was spot on. It was also good to see locals dining too. Would certainly reccomend.

Fantastic Meal. All food locally purchased, well done. Great size portions, cooked beautifully. Easy to find in Freiston and lots of parking. See you again soon. Thank you for such lovely meals.

Nothing too much trouble, Andrea & Gareth were fantastic hosts wonderful home cooked food, throughly recommend this pub been a couple of times will definitely be going back

My sister has recently moved into Freiston, Lincs. and the Kings Head Inn is her local pub so we all thought we would try "the pub" for Sunday lunch and we are so glad we did. Andrea and Gareth made us so welcome. All three of us ordered Sunday lunch the choice was roast pork or beef with all the trimmings. Without exception we all said this was THE BEST Sunday lunch we had ever had out. Cooked perfectly, presented well and excellent size portions. What we also liked was the produce was all sourced locally, so local vegetables and meat. We all finished off with a homemade strawberry cheesecake, again absolutely delicious. We cannot recommend this pub and its restaurant highly enough. Thank you for a lovely meal and we cannot wait to visit you again in May.

Great food here. The portions are lovely plenty of local veg and nice selection of dishes. I had the fillet steak last time and was cooked to perfection. Really impressed. Staff are also very welcoming and accommodating and friendly. Go for a roast!

we visited the kings head following a recommendation as it had only just started doing food. we had a lovely meal which was quite plentiful and filling, lovely little pub not got a large area for dining, but large enough for staff to manage and cook for. will be going back for another meal soon

Enjoyed a fabulous evening meal home made Bateman's Ale and steak pie and the curry of the week. Very well presented and extremely tasty!Will be back for Fish and Chip Friday

Very nice food well presented. All home made and locally sourced. A fairly concise menu but well selected dishes and cooked very well. Comfortable dining room and a friendly traditional village bar room next door. Looking forward to our next visit.

What a lovely evening at The Kings Head, Freiston. The food was well presented, excellently cooked and delicious. Three rib eye steaks and one fillet - scrumptious!Lovely Batemans pub in the beautiful village of Freiston. Friendly welcome, good beer, good prices, worth a visit.

My husband and I ate dinner here whilst on a weekend away with our dog. The Kings Head was recommended by the owner of our B&B as it serves good food at reasonable prices and accepts dogs. The menu offered a fair amount of choices, and a couple of specials were also available. My husband had steak and chips, which he said was cooked just how he likes it, and I had scampi and chips. The portions were enormous - I had trouble finishing mine even with the dog's help! Despite this, we did also share a dessert - an apple crumble with homemade custard, which was also lovely. Drinks were reasonably priced and the landlord and landlady were very welcoming. I would definitely return if in the area again.
