The King's Head in Winchester

Best Sunday lunch. Had the lamb shoulder and it didn’t disappoint. Loved it. Lovely atmosphere and the team were really friendly. Highly recommend.

Really lovely experience. Food was great, but some dishes were slightly dry (mainly the burger). That said, the food was served hot and was absolutely delicious! Drinks were great and service was good. We'll definitely be back!

Great pub and beer garden. Expensive drinks but that may just be Hampshire prices we live in Devon

Average village boozer. Closed at 10.30pm on a Thursday evening even though a big group of us arrived an hour earlier.

Didn't eat this time but saw the Sunday roasts so definitely will return. Lovely pub with a great atmosphere. Good selection ales and ciders. Easy to access and a hidden gem.

Great pub, friendly staff, good food

We went to a wedding reception here, it was lovely. Loads of space.

Lovely place. Good food. service we had to wait a while for our meal to come out

The food was good although our food was only warm and got sent back, the plates were collected. But some food was still on table ,no body wiped the table so that's why only 2 stars

Food was good, had a prawn and crawfish sandwich and creole chicken wrap both with chips. A pint of HSB and a large glass of wine was almost £16! Waited almost 50 mins for the sandwiches to finally arrive at our table.

Lovely warm welcome 🤗. Food piping hot and excellent quality and quantity.

Stopped off in Wickham in need of refreshments but no cafes were open. The menu at The Kings Head looked good. We had 10 minutes to order sandwiches and chose the shrimp and egg, the falafel wrap and the crispy squid. All excellent choices and came with chips. The coffee was very good and of course the ale was perfect. So glad we dropped in. Lovely staff by the way.

Lovely atmosphere. Friendly staff. Great coffee.

Called in for a pint and vegetarian option off the menu. We were at the Wickham folk festival for the weekend. We were not disappointed and thoroughly enjoyed the meal and service. The outside seating area both covered and uncovered looked great. We enjoyed the atmosphere inside the pub, the stone floors, architecture and old prints on the walls. Great place to while away a few hours.

Nice food but the beer is way too expensive.

As most pubs Sunday lunch at £20 is a bit pricey, but worth it when as good as it was here. Two of us had beef which was excellent. Staff friendly and helpful.

A drink with friends before going elsewhere to eat. Good bar service and table cleared of previous customers' cups etc.

I went for a roast dinner with my partner . Staff friendly ordered my food didn’t have long to wait . It was well presented and generous serving . It was lovely . Will definitely go back.

Me and the missus went here to meet a friend and his daughter for a carvery Tuesday night, gotta say the decor confused me like crazy a mix between chinese, Greek and English, other than that th carvery was very nice thanks.

Unfortunately it was disappointing 😞

Lovely pub with decent outside seating covered and open. playground for children too :) Amazing food and good selection of beers :)

Lovely big pub, with plenty of space. We attended a private function in their rooms at the back. Lovely big garden too. (We didn't have food)

Tasty Lunch and Drinks. Clean and Friendly staff.

Had issue with one meal. Bought wrong order twice. Decided to just eat it the third time.

I often visit here for the occasional pint. There are always other customers in the bar. The beer is fine, although the selection is limited. My latest visit was to watch England in the Euro final. The covered courtyard and the function room were used to show the match. These were ideal locations and left the bar football free which would please customers wishing to have a quiet drink without the noise.

We hired the function room for a party, fabulous service, staff and food. Just the right size for a band with 70 guests. Highly recommend this venue.

Lovely friendly staff. I had the chicken roast. Absolutely delicious and plenty of it. My husband had a burger and he really enjoyed it.

It’s where ancient meets modern! Beautifully built to hold on to its history yet up to the minute service and billing! Parking near is Pay in Dismay and very tight! Some locals seem to abandon their cars in the middle of the square but no_one seems to care! Yes I’d recommend it and yes I’ll go again!!

Lovely pub, good food and dog friendly

A keep going back to kind of pub, Food lush, good price and well worth a visit. Staff always helpful.

Second time here and soon to be back for a third! Lovely pub with so much to offer with seating and space. Kids are very much welcome here with a great garden space and playground. The food here is beautiful. The beef Sunday roast was a highlight with scampi and chips proving a winner, too.

A lovely old pub with the biggest garden and a great courtyard. Food was very good, fresh vegetables and mashed potatoes. Service was polite but no conversation.

Lovely old coaching Inn, food and service was excellent.

The pub has a fantastic private room with a skittles alley. I organised a team social event their and it was a great setup. The staff for incredibly helpful and the room has door which lead out onto a nice bear garden. Its a great pub.

Loved the beer garden and building. Beavertown pints a bit pricey tho.

We visited as part of a large group to play skittles and eat. Very well organised, the staff were all extremely friendly, delicious food served promptly (and with a smile). We had a very enjoyable evening and hope to return.

We visited Sat June 1st as part of a pre booked group booking of the skittle alley, and had a really great time. Great facility, excellent service (especially considering we were a large group) and the food was just fab. Looking forward to a return visit, I just need to get better at skittles!

Lovely pub with a hidden gem of a garden.

I wouldn’t normally go to the trouble of leaving a review for a pub. But feel others need to be pre-warned! Me and my other half were disgusted at what was served for the price. We ordered two burgers (this was on a Sunday for reference). We were presented with a small portion of warm chips and the burger was pitiful. An over toasted bun which was small, one patty, burger sauce evidently out of a bottle and not freshly made, some onion and a slice of lettuce! It looked like it had been kept under a lamp too long or had been microwaved. This is fine if you’re paying under a tenner for the privilege…but £17.50 EACH. It’s just appalling! We popped in on an off chance for a bit of rare couple time without our son. We honestly wished we hadn’t bothered. We can cook better food at home. We would never return and will be telling all to avoid…honestly just because you’re in ‘Wickham’ doesn’t give you the right to charge stupid prices for crap. The beer was also presented with no head on it at all. The final staff member we dealt with was a lady with dark hair who had no sense of humour, no warmth and was very rude when paying our bill. Just finished off an already rubbish experience. There are way nicer places for less money and better food. Don’t even bother wasting your time….

A fantastic experience from booking Skittles, sorting out food for 32 people and then the evening itself on Sat 1st June 2024. Special thanks to Ella Taylor who managed the whole experience to from start to finish. It was such a great experience, we will for sure book again and others were saying they would return individually at some point.

Don’t have a sandwich meagre filling with dry bread

Good service, good food. Lovely village pub

Never been before . Popped in for lunch . Tea came in chipped cups and teapot was just as bad Haddock finger sandwich was thick greasy batter . Massively overdone. Just came away feeling sick . The pub itself looks great the food we tried today lets it down 👎

Popped in for a lunch. Fancied the Steak and Ale Pie - it's so nice to find somewhere that does two sizes. We had the small one at £12. It was lovely, served with al dente spring cabbage with peas, a soft mash, and a full delicious gravy boat. Absolutely lovely, highly recommended.

Nice pub, good food, big garden and kids playground as well. But bear in mind the prices are like London

Lovely old coaching inn, one member of staff ( lad) treated us very well. We found the food average, but not unfortunately, it didn't reflect what we paid for it. Would visit/try again .

£6.30 for a pint of cider compared to £5.00 in the pub a few yards away, I won't be going back.

We visited here on a rainy lunchtime with our dog and were met with really friendly staff. The food choice was excellent and our starters arrived really promptly. Unfortunately our mains took nearly 45 mins to arrive which was a shame as we felt as though we had been forgotten. All the food was delicious and served with a smile. Loved that it is really dog-friendly - nearly every table in the lower part of the pub had a dog sat underneath!

Nice pub, good beer and food. Beer garden,live music etc.

The plain bar has meals, the food is average, and parking is convenient.

Expensive drinks but good atmosphere 👌

We went here whilst on holiday. Lovely food and very friendly, we had 4 dogs with us. When making the booking we asked for a quiet table and there was one reserved for us. Would recommend as very dog friendly and good food.

We had a wonderful experience dining at the King's Head Pub for a family meal. The cozy and inviting atmosphere immediately made us feel at home. The menu offered a wide variety of delicious options to satisfy everyone's taste buds. The service was exceptional - our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure our dining experience was enjoyable. The food was outstanding, from the appetizers to the main course and dessert. The portions were generous, and the presentation was lovely. Overall, our family thoroughly enjoyed our meal at the King's Head Pub. We definitely recommend it for a delightful dining experience with loved ones.

It was a pub lunch, asked for a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and expected normal pub price, not £34.95, I think the person taking the order should have said the price when we ordered. You can buy the exact wine for £20.49 so I expect they buy cheaper. Some profit there. I will not be returning.

We came here today for some lunch on the way home from being away for the night. We had a long journey and we were all hungry. We sat in the garden so the kids could run about and play. The food was lovely… and I can imagine in the summer this garden is going to be so lovely to sit and have a drink or food. It’s somewhere we will definitely come back too and we only live about 20 mins away. The staff were really friendly and we had a lovely afternoon. Thankyou

Very friendly staff and friendly pub

Returned to The Kings Head this week and as usual not disappointed!! Had a beautiful katsu curry the flavours were superb. Staff as always going above and beyond helping me with my elderly grandmother. Pub looked great can’t wait to visit again in the summer with their massive pub garden. I’ll be back again soon!!

Came to the kings head yesterday for a few drinks, it was very popular but the staff were really friendly and helpful. Great selection of beers including local breweries. Really comfortable and large area for drinks and looks like a great garden for warmer days.

I had a beer here the other night. I've been before and enjoyed it. They have a good range of drinks and the service was fast and friendly. It wasn't busy as it was a Sunday night but there was a pleasant atmosphere and I will go back.

Always a wonderful time at this place. Everything is on point and our little dog loves it to.

Had a light snack on a Monday when most places are closed or just not interested to find the staff welcoming and most helpful. Having not been in here for some years we found it light, airy and very comfortable. The food was a delight and made me want to order more! I shall be coming back very soon.

Popped in for lunch on a Tuesday. Lovely welcome,the food was amazing, staff are very friendly. Loved the atmosphere and homely feel. Thankyou

Perfect food bar and drink your beer or calmer

Great evening listen to local band

We recently hosted a family party at the Kings Head, and it was truly a fantastic experience. The pub's cozy and welcoming atmosphere was perfect for bringing together family members of all ages. The skittle alley provided hours of fun and friendly competition for both kids and adults alike. The staff at the Kings Head went above and beyond to cater to our needs, ensuring that everyone had a great time. The food and drinks were delicious, with options to suit every palate. The convenience of having everything in one location made the event feel seamless and stress-free.

We had a fantastic time on Saturday.. all the family together in one place . The service was excellent food was brilliant and we were well looked after

We decided on a last minute dinner out with friends last night (20th February 24) we haven’t been altogether since some time last night and the Kings Head in Wickham is always a pleasure to be at ,we also knew that taking the dogs was positively welcomed . They have a brand new compliment of kitchen staff which is work it’s magic , our food was delivered quickly and hot and delicious, thank you . Manager Charlie and his lovely wife Debbie have the best friendly staff I’ve seen in ages at a busy bar- James, Mat ty and another young lady whose name I didn’t catch, nothing was too much bother for them . Thank you we shall be back for more .

Booked very late Saturday night. They said very busy but we could have the back room we found it just perfect for the eleven of us. Roast dinner was great plenty of beef,pork and lamb vegetables well cooked not overcooked like some definitely return again soon. Hats off to the staff

Nice pub in the centre of Wickham square. Unfortunately they have no chef. The food is atrocious. Nothing is freshly made but tipped out of a bag from the freezer.

We have used this lovely pub on several occasions - family meals, a nice pint at the end of a cycle ride & most recently when I enquired whether their Karaoke Nights were going to be a regular feature, not only did they say yes, they kindly arranged January's on my birthday! On that evening, I had the rack of ribs - & they were off the scale flavour wise. And then the birthday boy had a most excellent evening, with a few turns behind the mic & a lovely crowd of villagers and visitors from further afield. A great atmosphere & a great evening. For the eagle eyed, a reference to Kingsman too...

Went to a party in one of the function rooms, the bowling lane took up most of the room, the electrics kept tripping and it was freezing, hardly anyone took their coats off. Staff were friendly and polite the food was really good.

Great Sunday roast and very friendly staff. Will definitely be back!

Great place to go on a cold day with a lovely fire to warm you up and great fish and chips to fill you up.

Stopped in after a long walk. Some interesting beer, an unfortunate lack of vegan options on the kid's menu and very limited on the main menu (though we were in on a Sunday).

Lovely pub with a great atmosphere, Charlie was a great host and the staff were very welcoming and friendly. Beautiful courtyard. Tasty food selection. My 3 year old son was so impressed he wanted to move in 😅

Great atmosphere Lovely village pub Recommended

Very friendly pub where the staff make you feel very welcome. We visited on a Friday night. It was very busy (which was good to see) but they still managed to serve us quickly and keep the tables clear. Will visit again soon.

Choose lamb shank and veg thanks to the chef cooked to perfection cabbage was still beautifully green can't praise enough staff were attentive would highly recommend Thankyou

Visited for a pre booked evening meal, to meet up with a colleague I worked with years ago. The food and drink were of a good standard and the pub was absolutely buzzing with customers, a great start to the evening. Sadly at around 8pm, the "band" started to do sound checks which were far too loud.. After a bit they started to play and it was absolutely deafening (and poor!). There was tremendous muttering of disapproval throughout the pub. The staff refused to get the sound reduced, when we asked. Within 30 minutes, the pub had been cleared in a really effective manner, and only a few souls remained. This absolutely ruined the evening. Would score a 4 if there had been no music, but as it was one of the worst dining experiences I have had in a long time, the band created an overall score of 1. I did contact Fullers asking to discuss this (as I was ignored on the night) but they did not respond to me, so presumably cannot care less.

The Kings Head pub is a hidden gem! Amazing selection of drinks, friendly staff, and cozy ambiance make it a top spot for a memorable evening.

Fabulous night at the Kings Head. We had some really good pub food, a few drinks and the pub hosted - A Christmas Carol - performed by OpenBar theatre company...which was Fantastic. The bar staff and management were very friendly and welcoming... Would highly recommend

Popped in for lunch on a weekday. Place had a few tables empty. We sat at a table near a lovely log fire. Ordered food which was lovely. Ribs and a burger would recommend both. Service was good the chap who served us was very friendly and asked how we were needed anything else etc. facilities were clean and modern. We didn’t visit the garden as too cold. Would recommend visiting if in the square.

Lovely little village pub great atmosphere and a lovely fire to keep you warm on a cold day great selection of food and drinks for the whole family will definitely be back.

Friendly welcome. Well kept HSB, Busy, bar area with good atmosphere.

Went here for Sunday lunch with the family and the roast was amazing; perfectly cooked, the staff was awesome.

What a fantastic addition to our village. Great Fullers beers kept perfectly by the Landlord and staff. The Landlord and Lady and all staff are very professional, friendly and eager to help everyone. I did not eat on this occasion, however have eaten there many times and have always had a meal of the highest quality and taste with service to match. Everyone working at the pub deserve the highest praise and are a credit to the Fullers empire. Here's to many more years drinking in my local.

I hired the function room/skittles alley to celebrate my 80th birthday with family and friends. The staff were extremely helpful and the food was outstanding, we had the bowl buffet, which everybody enjoyed and complimented. We all enjoyed playing skittles, our age group was 4 - 88, it's the perfect venue for a party.

Great pub. Lovely staff and good to see some different lagers to the usual batch. Recommended highly

Great staff and atmosphere. Would like to thank the man with the wonderful mullet especially, very helpful. Tasty food, came very quickly!

Only popped in for a quick beer.Nice choice of Ales.

Excellent venue for a business function. We had a group of 18 that needed a private function room for business discussions and presentations. Communication prior to, and on the day, were first class. Danny led the team and we wish to share great thanks with Ella and Kieran who were fantastic bar and waiting staff on the night. The food choices were great and exceeded expectations. The AV equipment was perfect and the private room was exactly what we had hoped for. Will definitely use again.

I hired the function room on a Saturday night for my 70th birthday celebrations. The service was superb with friendly staff and very helpful waiters. The food was excellent and plentiful. The atmosphere was great, and we played Skittles towards the end of the night . Everyone enjoyed the evening, and we had great fun

Haddock sandwich was fine but the dish lacked salad garnish ....

Great selection of foods and excellent choice of gluten free options which suited our needs very good value for money and excellent service from all of the staff made our experience very enjoyable.

Food poor and overpriced. The KH has gone way down. Won't be going here again. Sunday roast was dull, tasteless and manky.

We would not not want to take our custom to the Kings Head in Wickham in future, unless management is changed and food quality greatly improved. ie. The lasagna is a mish mash of soggy soup-like mixture with no cheese flavour and hardly any meat...

Great meeting place lovely atmosphere really friendly staff

Had lunch, adults menu ok, children’s menu way over priced, chicken guigons were tiny and a few chips for £8-50 then two very very small scoops of ice cream with a dash of chocolate sauce and some hundred and thousands for £7-00 !!! Definitely not...

Arrived for a drink and stayed for dinner. The meal was very tasty and plentiful. The Kings Head is a very friendly environment to relax and enjoy with something for everyone.

Pleasant enough pub but very expensive drinks. £7 for a pint of beer? You’d pay less in central London. Not busy on a Friday evening and not hard to see why. We didn’t stay.
