The King's Head in Winchester

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.

Very friendly staff and friendly pub

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 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 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 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.

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

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

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.

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.

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...

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.

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...

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.

Underwhelming & borderline okay. Thank goodness they don't put a service charge on the bill because there isn't any.

Visit this pub for a second time, whilst visiting the area. Had another lovely time. The staff were very friendly, the beer very tasty, and the food lovely. Very clean pub, with an amazing outside space.

I last reviewed the King’s Head in July this year and was impressed by the food and quality of service. What a different experience this time. I arrived at about 13:45 to be served immediately. No problems there. I had a pint of HSB, chose...

Lovely place with great service, and so nice to be able to have a gluten-free sandwich. The wine was delicious, too. Will definitely go back next time I'm in the area.

Had a delightful Sunday roast. Service leaves a bit to be desired but the food was great.

Visited on Saturday evening, with friends, excellent range of beers and gins on offer, wicked music playlist and really helpful staff.

We have visited before as the pub has a nice outside space to sit with our dog even on a wet day like today. I have Coeliac so am allergic to gluten containing products, so having eaten there before and thought it was a safe bet to visit for my birthday with my wife daughter and the dog! On asking for a Gluten Free menu I was told to scan a QR code which would take me to the menu, so I did this and followed the instructions and was amazed to find my only options were a portion of chips or a side salad. I queried this with the bar staff and chef who told me that they are in the middle of changing their menu, my wife, who is a retired chef said could the kitchen not do something, but apparently if it's not on the menu it's not possible! When asked why they were able to deal with anything else, such as Vegan and vegetarian, the staff just shrugged and tutted and walked off! We will not be going there again

Food was amazing staff was amazing friendly and I love this place from good ppl on pub lovley and a happy place from T

All great,, but wine far too expensive,, and I’m from LONDON

After having a meal at the The kings head with a friend last week, I don’t normally go through the hassle of writing a review but that disgustingness of this pub has made my skin crawl! The staff and so rude and unhelpful and smell of alcohol themselves; the toilets are absolutely revolving, I didn’t fever feel like my hands were clean even after washing them! Really disappointed as has so much potential to be a nice pub but really isn’t run very well!

Charlie and his team went absolutely above and beyond to make our wedding day/eve the most remarkable day going, there wasn’t anything they could have done better. Food was outstanding. Would highly recommend for future events, nothing was too much trouble all the staff went...

Great food at a very cool venue. The staff were super friendly and attentive. Thank you Liz and Amy :)

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff especially Liz who was very bubbly and friendly. Menu a little limited as they had run out of a few of certain choices

Having recently moved to the area we decided to try various local pubs. Very disappointed and won’t return here tho. My husband, who knows his beers , had a bottle of Bengal lancer but from his first taste I knew something was wrong. It tasted...

Med white wine and a bottle of non alcohol beer £16.00 !! Enough said, gobsmacked, am I overreacting, would love to know what others think 🤔

Expensive over rated food boring menu.never again sorry.crisps where ok .

Amazing venue!! Had a lovely time doing karaoke! Thank you to all the staff and the hosts of the karaoke :)

I joined my friends in the King's head on Saturday. Such a lovely pub, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Thank you for being so welcoming!

Don’t eat here! We went this week and the food is certainly not worth it! One couple had a BLT sandwich each @£12+ each when it arrived they had just one slice of bacon cut in two with very little salad. It was not worth...

My husband and I visited for a late lunch. The barmaid must have been having a bad day because she wasn't friendly and seemed almost confrontational. My husband chose the tofu and avocado sandwich at £10.50 and I had the chickpea salad for £14.50. The...

Lovely pub and great garden but the food is very expensive for what it is. Pretty much standard pub food, nothing special but about 50% more expensive than what you would expect to pay, £18 for burger and chips, kids meal depending on what you...

£6.60 for a pint of Guiness !! They can't blame regional variations of prices because in the best pub in my village and is only 5 miles away and is of a simikar standard to The Kings Head the Guiness is £ 5.00. How can...

found drink prices to be very expensive i.e. Large Pinot Grigio charged £9 + A friend bought four normal drinks beers and was charge £40

Absolutely lovely, wonderful service from young Welsh lady behind bar, great food and definitely best Guinness I've had in uk at this moment. Went back this evening, and great service from other staff that was really friendly and excellent Guinness again. I will definitely recommend to other foodie and Guinness friends 😋

Brilliant evening in the snug last night. Great food, staff, atmosphere.

Nice pub. Pleasant staff. The skittles alley very good for hiring a group function. Sadly they are not ablecto serve GF food.

A nice place to have dinner. We could taste good meals and enjoy local mood. Thank you ! The french family

A really mixed experience visiting this pub for food. The decor is lovely, particularly the outside area, and in a perfect location! The staff were really lovely and friendly. But the food is unfortunately overpriced for what you receive. Food was average, we were underwhelmed...

Excellent food and service, relaxed friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend the nut roast for vegetarians or vegans.

I last visited in Feb 23. This time, I dropped in for a Sunday lunch at 1200. This pub is wheelchair accessible. There is a ramp at the entrance and from previous visits, I can attest that the bar staff are more than willing to...

This pub has been consistently good for all the years I’ve been popping in there. The food is excellent and the staff are efficient and really friendly. The pub is nicely decorated, it always looks like it’s just been done and there is a large...

Great pub. Quick service and didn’t hassle us to leave after we'd eaten.

We met up with friends for drinks and a bite to eat, had the Chip shop platter, really enjoyed it. Great venue, Charlie and Debby (landlord & his lady) we’re lovely, proper pub atmosphere 👍

A lovely pub with a nice garden.

Not used to spending 17£ for a burger and there was nothing special about it ..no garnish, came with cheese but so small it just as well not been in there, just an ordinary burger with frozen chips, staff were welcoming though

Visited the King's Head today. For a quick drink. It was so refreshing to have an excellent welcome from a Male barman. Who was professional friendly & happy. I cover 50 Different Public Houses in my role at work. All Bar personnel should take a tip fro. This Barmans attitude & social skills. Excellent Public House. Eith lovely large Gardens & indoor courtyard area. Highly recommended 👌

Just a drink very very expensive.

We came for a band night with some friends, and it was brilliant! Although it was super busy the staff were all very happy and serving and seemed to have everything under control. Everyone was super friendly and happy to help with anything! Atmosphere was...

Lovely wine selection and friendly staff, nice outdoor area which is great for summer.

Really poor customer service made to feel that everything was an effort. Food average. Will not be going there again.

Driving through the area this afternoon and decided to stop here for some lunch. Despite the pub being very busy we were looked after from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. Sat in the lovely garden and ordered via the app....

Lovely Sunday Roast. Went at 3pm which seemed a good time to go as it was not too busy. Staff were really friendly and welcoming.

Great service and a lovely beer garden

We only dropped in for a couple of drinks as we were passing. The staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. We've been here before a few times and it's always the same.

Four of us had a lovely meal. The team were brilliant. Nothing too much trouble. Great sense of humour. Will be back

Food excellent staff brilliant and the atmosphere was excellent

SOFT DRINKS REVIEW ONLY: Half a lemonade cost £3.15. It was an alright lemonade don't get me wrong, but it wasn't worth £3.15 for 250ml. Is any lemonade on Earth worth that much?

Absolutely pleasant experience. The ice cream is DEFINE, and the food was lovely - great portions for money. Will definitely be back. And thanks to the lovely man in the glasses.

Lovely food, nice welcome. Toilets a bit tucked away.

Called on two occasions to book a table at around 8pm but been told they’ve closed the kitchen early because it’s quiet. Get the vibe that the staff love an early finish and just get lie to the customers on the phone

Kind staff and nice beer garden. Booked a table for later that week.

Great place to sit in the Garden out back , ordering was very easy if you have a phone with signal though there is free WiFi which I didn't need. The parasol didn't want to stay put due to missing base. No bigy but you can tell it's due to low or no maintenance to the furniture so things a little wobbly. Kids menu very limited , pasta Bolognese tasteless and you'd of thought you couldn't go wrong with fish finger sandwich and chips but this came with tartar sauce smeared all over it which when we told the waitress she happily took it away and replaced the bread leaving tarter sauce on the fish which is why they've scored a sad 2 stars so we left after spending a lot of money and feeling a little disappointed.

A lovely pub with loads of outside space and a nice garden.

Lost some of the charm of this old pub, but still comfortable and good range of beer
