The Kings Head in Lichfield - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I live in Spain and therefore can only visit whenever I'm with friends and relatives in England. I thoroughly enjoyed the carvery meal . The choice was of meats and vegetables was very good. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The ambience was pleasing. I would recommend this pub. My only complaint was my difficulty to access the Wi-Fi!

It's quirky but in a good way, it has this feeling your somewhere different and yet it feels homely. There's a good diverse choice of food and drinks, and most off all seating. You can sit inside and yet still be outside so fresh air galore. Overall a nice and good experience.

Food was nice. Ambiance was nice too

A quick lunch after shopping and visiting the Cathedral. Would highly recommend

We came to Lichfield for the food festival but ended up eating here! Plentiful, tasty, great value and helpful staff! Will definitely be visiting again 👍

Dog friendly, nice outside seating area, all areas nice and clean. friendly staff. Good music. It's a lovely pub

Had a lovely lunch here in early August. The food was fantastic and you could tell that care and attention had been put in to making the meals to a great standard. The ingredients were of great quality which really makes a difference when you compare to other pubs in the area. I look forward to returning soon.

Nice place, we had the all day breakfast, was nice and hot, but could have been a bit more xx

Held our wedding reception in the function room, Dave looked after us from the day we first enquired and through out our special day. He catered for our menu choices, the food was excellent for a large group with vegetarian and vegan options catered for. All the staff were friendly and accommodating. Dave went over and above averting disaster, when he sourced and replaced our table balloons that had deflated overnight before we were even aware there was a problem. Our special day went well, our guests were looked after and enjoyed the venue as much as we did. We are grateful to Dave and his wonderful team for all their hard work looking after us. Thank you Adrian and Gillian

Friendly staff, great atmosphere and a good selection of drinks. We always make a point of calling in when we are visiting Lichfield.

This was our second time visiting for the popular Sunday carvery. There is a wide selection of vegetables and a generous portion of meat. One thing I would say is the beef in particular had become a little dry under the heater. Other than that a very tasty meal with plenty of gravy.

This is a friendly, historic pub with good and very reasonably priced pub-style food. The dining area is spacious and decorated with memorabilia relating to the Staffordshire Regiment, which has its origins here. I haven't been to any of the evening events but it sounds as if they have an interesting programme of music and spoken word events.

Good pub. Only fault as a regular visitor is the large amount of glasses always on bar areas and tables during busier times. Staff very helpful but a glass collector is definitely required as not a good look and makes me question the turn around and cleanliness of the glasses as shelves have little glasses to choose from off the shelf

Not had food here yet but been here for a few drinks and the atmosphere was really good

My mom and stepdad used to run the Kings Head from 2000 to 2007 I believe so it’s a place I love and have fond memories of. I visited The Kings Head on 13/07/2024 with my mom and she is now disabled but also has fond memories of running the pub. It’s developed into a great place to spend time in and remember all the times we spent there as a family. Keep on building the good work you are doing there. It was great to see all the army memorabilia too cause I think the last time I went it had disappeared . My parents were Alan and Jennifer Matthews Regards Belinda Oliver

We sat in the courtyard with a couple of pints and a traditional cheese and onion sandwich. “Proper pub”

Well What can I say about this pub and the staff want in for one drink as I was passing and the bar staff made me feel like I was at home being a new person in a new place I was quiet and not my self but then I got talking to this one barmaid Alex and she made me lighten up and and the conversation was flowing I would definitely be coming back just to see her and finish what we was talking about got to get to the end off everything I would give her more then five star if I could she is a great influence on new customers and make the experience Worth it and enjoyable to drink

Nice pub, frei day staff and Alex was really helpful. Highly recommended

We visited the not long ago for lunch. The food was absolutely beautiful. The lovely lady who served us was called Alex. Her service was perfect, everything you would expect from a little pub like this. 10/10 recommend.

Such a lovely pub in Lichfield with a great atmosphere! Food is 10/10 and service was really quick. Staff are all really friendly, special mention to Alex and Stuart who were super friendly and even gave us a great deal on the multiple rounds of shots we had. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Just the best pub in Lichfield for me … so glad the new owners have taken it over and are using their vast experience to bring the pub back to life after a long time where it had lost its way … the team are exceptional (without a single exception) … I simply cannot recommend this place more highly (and I’m a fussy bugger) … well done Dave and crew … a great job brilliantly done

Thanks to the bar staff who replaced my pint without question after I sort of dropped it in the courtyard ( it slipped off the table)! Cheers!

This pub only has 2 real ales on, but good quality and decent price. Staff are always a delight to talk to.

Fantastic pub! Quirky and historic. Great staff too 🤙🏻

Could not recommend this pub enough. The landlord was very generous and accommodating with a request I had put to him. Being in the industry myself I can see this is a top notch well run venue with excellent staff. Sunday lunch looked superb. I will highly recommend to all my friends and family. And hope to return in the future. Thanks again. Xx

A great city pub. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff.

Great proper Lichfield boozer! It’s not a place for food…poor!

Me and my friend were looking for food but they had stopped serving. Barman went out of his way to recommend local restaurants and even pointed out the directions, he was lovely 🙂 will be going back

First visit here we had the two meals for £12 which was very good value. The place was very busy but we didn't have to wait long for the food to come out. We plan to visit again next time we're in Lichfield.

Come here often for the live music. Always a fab atmosphere. Reasonably priced drinks. Great bar staff.

A lovely historical pub with friendly staff. Went in for Sunday roast. The beef was a bit tough but all the trimmings were great, excellent ale. Enjoyed the atmosphere and decorations very much! Will definitely come back 👍😊

Claire was great, advised the best beer to have & was attentive when we needed serving

Went in the kings head had the 2 meals for £12 deal and it was lovely. Fantastic value for money. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Very clean and dog friendly to. Definitely will call again when passing

We pop in for a meal, we was celebrating owe wedding anniversary meals are good value for money, presentable good choice on menu, Staff was very friendly and helpful Would definitely recommend the food

Lovely food, great service and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. A traditional pub in the heart of the city. Staff were friendly and efficient too.

Great traditional pub in Lichfield - always a port of call on a bus trip over! New pubs come along but can't beat the old ones.

Didn't have food but went in for a few drinks and it's looking good pubs been refurb and more people in as well, service good also all table chairs full and this couple moved over so we could sit excellent

Great time in the pub thank you good guinness thank you

Great place to eat, good beer and friendly staff. Some great history of this place dating from 1408 :)

First time in here and everything was amazing! The food was delicious and hot and arrived in a good time! Would definitely recommend!

I had very nice burger king burger with chips. Nice and tasty. Well recommend it.

Popped in 4 a meal on Monday, quick service, food reasonably priced and good the roast looked great too ,ale excellent and on offer on a moday and dog friendly, whats not to like ,worth a visit defo.

Lovely bar with a good selection of drinks, lovely food at a really good price, well presented, delicious to eat & a very friendly welcoming service.

Good and reasonable priced food,great atmosphere, very polite and helpfull staff,will definitely go back.

The place was busy but we managed to find a table,( albeit a high one which I'm not keen on). Warm and comfortable inside and friendly bar staff. We had the lunchtime offer which was good value, and the chicken in the hunter's chicken was massive! Will go back if visiting Lichfield again.

This is a lovely warm and friendly pub, a perfect place for really good drinks, with a friendly welcome from very nice staff and has a great atmosphere. Sadly the lunchtime food was less impressive as far as we were concerned but I guess you get what you pay for, it’s very budget friendly, so maybe we were expecting too much for the price, and not everyone would agree with me as the place was packed on a Friday lunchtime with happy diners. We really like this pub but would probably drink there and eat elsewhere nect time.

Planned visit due to military background. Ordered food and waited, and waited, and waited. Other customers walked out. Finally our sandwiches/toasties arrived. They had obviously been warmed up via the microwave and were a real test on the teeth, due to being rock hard. Had we not already waited over an hour we would have sent them back. Totally disappointed will not return 😕

Lovely pub. Good, well-kept beer & the food is great, and reasonably priced. Very impressed.

Very nice place for a great quality lunch. Beer was nice and well kept. The young lady serving was polite friendly and respectful.

Had my wedding party here !!! overall all great pub fantastic staff well known history of the pub, just over all i nice old fashion pub. Pints are cheep here to.

Currently staying in the area and have made this our "local". Awesome staff and great atmosphere, would highly recommend.

Nice pub and good service. Beers were good to and the cheese baps looked good even if not tried.

Lovely dog friendly pub. Staff are always extra friendly (especially with the dog), and the pub has a nice cosy atmosphere.

A very pleasant experience! Good value with the 2 for £12 and a nice ham, egg and chips.

Great pub and well priced food. A lot of food options unavailable but still had a good meal

Lovely pub with the friendlest of staff, great surroundings, decent array of ales and a great value and quality carvery on Sundays too. Highly recommended 👍

Me and the wife had the carvery. Was very impressed, everything tasted fresh and was the perfect temperature. Highly recommended for your Sunday lunch.

Worth a look, has a comprehensive range of items

Why only two stars? Well everything was very good apart from I don't like being fleeced. Beer - £3 pint including 49p duty Pepsi Max - £3.60 pint - no duty Pepsi Max - £2.70 1/2pint or £5.40 pint - no duty I call that a complete rip off, and whilst I otherwise had a nice time I don't think I'll be coming back on a regular basis to be gouged like that. Edit. Thank you for your reply. I will be contacting Marston's. However, can I ask if you will be talking to Marston's yourselves to express an opinion on the prices or are you happy with them and think them fair?

We came with friends 6 friends for our Christmas Lunch. We all had a fabulous time. The staff were very attentive and friendly, and the food was delicious and so much of it. Plus the price was so reasonable We will certainly go back and need the thank David and Paul plus the bar staff for making our stay so enjoyable.

Become regulars here. Nice atmospheric pub. Great food friendly staff. Dog friendly too.

Always a great atmosphere here especially when there is a live band on

A really good quality carvery lunch. Full marks

An old coach house in need of some attention. Buzzing and grest beer.

Litchfields oldest pub ,cosy and friendly staff. Good beer.

Worst meal I have ever had in my life today 29th Nov. We had the steak pie Chips and gravy. Supposed to be short crust pastry . It had obviously been microwaved to warm it up. Pastry was as tough as old boots difficult to cut with the knife Peas cold and half the chips were Luke warm. Hubby complained to the bar Maid who said she would speak to the chef. No feedback from her what's so ever just walked past us to the bar to resume her work after coming from the kitchen. So hubby said on the way out no answer then from the chef she totally ignored him. Would never go there again for food and I suggest no one else does either. It was total rubbish. X

Lovely evening in a relaxing atmosphere. Very good customer service and a good variety of drinks at a reasonable price.

Didn't eat here, I'm afraid, but we did go for the live music... which was brilliant. They played a massive variety of music to cater to every age group. Plenty of Staffordshire Regiment memorabilia, which I found mega with being a "Stokie".. Great crowd of people all enjoying their night.

Very busy, good atmosphere and beers

Food was amazing, staff are Friendly the atmosphere is warm and welcoming highly recommend this place.

Fantastic breakfast at the kingshead, great service, good atmosphere recommend a visit if you are in Lichfield

Called in for a bite to eat, on a visit to Lichfield, with two hungry children and was far from disappointed. The staff were friendly and professional, with nothing being too much trouble for them. They were very clued up when I asked them about allergen information, as my Grandson has a peanut allergy. The food was lovely, plentiful and came out hot and served on warm plates and very reasonably priced. After lunch I asked if there were any baby change facilities, to which I was handed a key to the disabled toilet. Inside I found an extremely clean and tidy room which was well equipped with what was needed. Thank you for a great experience. We will definitely return

This establishment should stop serving food, the worst burger of my entire life, on top of that they dare to call it the king burger...

Great food very reasonable prices. Always piping hot with a lot to choose from. Sell my favourite beer too, Neck Oil

Plenty of history in Lichfield's oldest remaining pub with the roots of the Staffordshire Regiment created here. Plenty of seating, real fire, and a playlist on the sound system. Certainly worth a look if you're visiting this city. I didn't eat and couldn't see any other diners. However, it was a Monday in October. Will return.

What a fab pub if your in lichfield and need a lovely well cooked meal that's good value it's the place to be .... we will be back ...

Excellent service and excellent staff 👏 lovely atmosphere 😀 10/10 drinks were lovely 🍺👍🍻

Just popped down for a carvery. Was excellent. Lovely pub and food was great. Will be down again. 👍

6 people ordered 3 x 2 meals for £12 x 3 4 meals came after a long wait, 1 more came after prompting the waiter 1 didn't come at all, the manager came apologised and offered us a free drink for the inconvenience caused, needless to say we won't be going back.

Terrible food, first we ordered a roasted chicken and after a long period of time it was brought with iced still inside. Then we ordered some sandwiches and the cheese was not melted, the chips terrible and small slices of tomatoes. We would have been better off for sure somewhere else!

Yet again a faultless Sunday roast dinner carvery. It was delicious one of my favorite pubs in lichfield.

My first time in lichfield after moving from Banbury. This pub is absolutely amazing It was a pleasure to be in the same building with so many veterans . I was so proud to be in their company. Just amazing.

Stopped here for lunch, we sat outside on the benches - no garden as such but plenty of outdoor space. The bar lady was friendly and efficient, and food was quick and tasty - plenty of options.

great family pub since its been recently taken over by experienced managers, they have turned the pub into a welcoming fresh atmosphere.

Great old staffordshire regiment pub. Luckily, a very professional couple have now taken on this pub and it is a joy to walk into the place again. Spotlessly clean, professional and friendly staff, live entertainment and fine fayre. We salute you...

This recently renovated traditional pub, has a lovely, cosy feel.. log burner & original coal fires. We had a fresh home cooked Sunday carvery today with family, which was exceptionally good. Child friendly. Very safe and pleasant surroundings. Delightfully helpful staff. Great outside space too.. Cleanliness impeccable. We have also been here on a Sat evening with friends. Great atmosphere & live entertainment. Great location, right in the centre of Lichfield City. I would 100% recommend

Called in on a reccomendation from a local shop owner, was not dissapointed. Best value carvery we have ever had, and the treacle sponge and custard was amazing too! Staff are friendly, looking forward to visiting again.

Enjoyed the food ,,easy to get served ,,very reasonable

A nice place in the centre of Lichfield

We love this great pub. Normally pop in on a Friday and have a couple of cobs, of which are lovely and fresh. This tempted us to try their Sunday carvery. Wow! So glad we did. The 4 meats on offer were so lovely and tender, along with a nice selection of vegetables. Absolutely huge portions of meat, of which, unfortunately we couldn't finish our meal. But the doggy bag soon sorted that. I personally left some food, just so I could sample their Apple and caramel pie with custard. It was divine. Massive thanks go to Jo and Kev for their gorgeous food and also to the very attentive bar staff Emily, Mollie and Dylan.

Asked for a medium steak, they gave me a burnt well-done steak with no flavour, and it was so dry. When we said the lady said she would sort in so we stayed for 15m and then asked again and was told she had forgot about it and wasted our time

Nice ye olde world pub with a lot of visual references to the local history of the area. Decorated with original wooden Tudor beams from the something-century! I didn't eat so I can't give an opinion on food. Nice enclosed beer garden with an entrance/exit that leads to a public car park.

Lovely old pub, food v.nice and well priced,worth a visit if in town,

Decent pub with great live music

Popped in during a food festival - so rammed beer was ok Sat outside - inside full looked pleasant

Cheap and cheerful, will visit again.

Very pleasant atmosphere, good honest food at a reasonable price. The conservatory-style covered courtyard was also a very nice place to be in the sunny weather!

Sunday Carvery was amazing, great food and friendly service. The atmosphere was good. Choice of beef or pork or have both. Good selection of veggies you can choose how large/small your meal -just perfect. Thank you

What a lovely pub, so friendly nicely decorated too
