Went here for a Friday evening date night. Food and service was absolutely on point! A well oiled machine that made it a pleasure to attend. Myself and partner had a wonderful meal and would recommend to all!

Attended the venue today for lunch with my wife and friends. The 1st time we had Sunday dinner as we often eat during the week. All I can say is wow! The beef I had was cooked to perfection and when the servers ask if you would like your beef pink or well done. You know you’re in a special venue. Too many times Iv been to restaurants for Sunday dinner and find my plate full of cheap easy veg and no effort on the main bits. I found my dinner today was perfectly balanced and once I finally finished it found myself unable to eat any desert! It’s a nice change that the venue keeps high standard when it comes to food and not throw rubbish on a plate for the customer to eat. Staff was perfect like always and they continued to make sure our meal was to a good standard and if we e had any concerns they were willing to listen and rectify any issues. On a side note! Home made Yorkshire puddings are next level!

We had a fab visit today on Remembrance Sunday. We went for the roast beef. The meal was amazing, full of flavour and ample portions.. the Yorkshire puddings are legendry!! We were so full, couldn't even do pudding. Staff were very attentive and made sure we were happy.. a great place for the perfect family dinner! 5 star!!

A lovely homely and cosy venue with incredibly friendly and accommodating staff that make sure you’re happy with everything during your visit. Menu has great variety, the food is presented with quality and tastes amazing. We had the three meats Sunday roast and couldn’t fit any desert in due to generous portions. We wish this was our local!! Everyone should give this place a visit and always drop in if you are in the area. Amazing

What a delightful experience! I was in the area with some friends and, having already booked online for dinner, we called in for coffee after a morning walk and got a really friendly welcome - along with great coffee. As we sat on the sofas admiring the fabulous decor the owner came up and offered us a tour, even showing us the kitchen and function room upstairs. This Pub has been beautifully renovated, absolutely top notch. Every aspect of customer comfort has been considered and when we went back in the evening our meals were delicious. What a find! We all awarded it Pub of the Year and we'll definitely go back if we're in the area again. Highly recommend!

We dropped in here quite by chance just before 1.00 on a Sunday on our way back to London from the coast. We weren’t that hungry but needed something to eat. We were blown away by the Sunday Roast menu and after reading that all the meat was sourced locally and seeing that we could have a roast with all 3 meats, we had to try it. This was the best Sunday roast I have eaten. I’ve had a few so I know what I’m talking about! 😂. The staff were really lovely, they brought a bowl of water for our dog to our table. They also said they would feedback our comments about the food and looked genuinely chuffed to hear it. The atmosphere was also great, music not loud, locals having a good old catch up, and the smell of a really gorgeous wood fire throughout.

Came here last night for dinner haven’t driven past many times without popping in. I’d being in this pub 10 + years ago and remembered the out dated decoration inside…. What a complete change it’s classy and stylish with all the staff being helpful, they had premium lager on tap and a great choice of cocktails made by the owner himself. We sat down and ordered our food. We had the home made breakfast on the table which was delicious. The starters and the mains were spectacular so much flavour! I had the steak for the main and I couldn’t fault it by far one of the best meals I’ve had in the UK. Definitely going to head back soon to try out what else the menu has to offer!

I went to the Kings Head with my friend Zaphna for Sunday Roast last weekend. It was the best Sunday Roast I have eaten in a very long time. The meat was seasoned to perfection and the vegetables were fresh, tasty and locally sourced. The portions were perfect. Everything was so tasty I didn't leave a single bite, I even ate crackling which I don't normally do! I enjoyed a sneaky glass of fizz, a cocktail and coffee, all lovely. The interior is colourful and the place has a very nice feel. There is a nice outdoor area and even the area for smokers and vapers is nicely arranged. We took a sneak peak at the function room upstairs which was a nice surprise. The staff were all very welcoming and friendly. A wonderful country spot, I will definitely be returning with my husband.

Anemic chicken burger, more crumbs than meat. I didn't realise how badly a burger could be messed up, being basic. The asparagus was overcooked and limp. Unfortunately a lot of money for a mediocre meal, when it was mentioned all that was said was sorry. Over half the meal left on each plate. Great place for a drink, would have to change my mind to try again for the food.

A first visit to this pub for Sunday lunch with friends. It was a halfway point for us both. It's an amazing space, traditional interior with some quirky touches and thoughtfully comfortable. We all choose the Sunday Roast of local beef - which came perfectly pink and with glorious Yorkshire pud and a pile of perfectly cooked veg. Lovely and good value too. Service was impeccable - efficient and friendly. Will return.

Had lunch here on a Saturday with my mum as we were checking out places to book for a family event. Food was absolutely delicious. Remi, Julie and the staff couldn’t do enough. Remi looked after us very well and the atmosphere was very friendly and welcoming. We also got shown around the function room and it was decorated to a very high standard and had its own bar and it was just as lovely as the rest of the pub. Will definitely be going back in the future. Lovely pub, owned, run and staffed by lovely people. A thoroughly enjoyable lunchtime. The fireplace and open fire with sofas next to it was very cosy and nearly too tempting because if I’d sat on them after eating I may have fallen asleep. 10/10.

Wow! What an amazing Mother’s Day lunch…10/10…an absolutely faultless experience. Most of the party had the traditional roast beef which was outstanding. The rest of the party had burgers, which I was told were amazing. I can honestly say this was the best Sunday lunch I have had in a restaurant. If this can be achieved on a packed Mother’s Day that truly is exceptional. Service was great, even though behind the scenes I’m sure it was manic we had no sense of that, staff were efficient, welcoming and happy, a wonderful smiling welcome and goodbye by all. Well done everyone, a wonderful day for us all. Definitely be seeing you all very soon.

First visit since renovation a few years ago, but won't be last. It really has had a complete renovation, gone is the dark dingy pub with beer barrels for tables. Sunday lunch may not be the cheapest around Ave £18. but worth the extra for taste and size, , Yorkshire puddings were huge, see picture of granddaughter with hers.. Only minus, is the plates could be slightly larger so it's easier to eat/cut the food, without putting Yorkshire on the table initially...

We met friends to visit the Kings Head for their Seafood night. Having chosen from the website menu just before going it was disappointing to find 2 dishes were unavailable allegedly due to supplier problems although one dish was rescued for our vegetarian friend which was a decent effort by the owner. As we were unable to enjoy our first choices 3 of us had burgers which were fantastic with excellent chips This almost overcame the disappointment of not being able to have the fish kebab. Desserts were also superb and one was held back and delayed as the initial presentation was not up to scratch so it was not delivered. Staff were friendly polite and efficient . They were also coping with a function upstairs too. 5/5 apart from the disappointment

We hired the function room at the Kings head in January. Well what an amazing time we had. The room was just perfect, it was set up so beautifully with fresh flowers, candles and our own private bar. The staff were perfect, they were very attentive and on the ball. The food was incredible, we had afternoon tea. The sandwiches were lovely and we had a great variety. We had scones and a selection of delicious homemade cakes. Zak was so helpful to arrange this event with, there wasn’t anything that was too much trouble. Thank you so much for making our event so perfect. We will definitely be back very soon!

Just got home from a family birthday meal. Very disappointed. very over priced for the food that we had. If it had not been my sons birthday meal I would have complained. We had the chilli beef for a starter, the beef was very chewy, very disappointing. We then all had the steak chateaubriand for our mains. The chips were cold and the peppercorn sauce was very bitter. The staff were very friendly, but the standard of the food was very disappointing. The decor of the pub was lovely, but felt so disappointed with the meal.

Had a family meal (4 adults) on a Saturday lunchtime , advise booking pretty busy. Lovely inside a bit deceptive from outside. Immaculate service, no need to go to the bar, everything handled at table - lovely. Thankfully not a huge menu to confuse but enough choice across bar food and a la carte, including specials. We all had starters and mains and all were well presented, good quality, fresh, decent proportions and hot - so not not normal gastropub - lukewarm and minimal. Our chosen mains would have benefitted from side veg dishes included. We did not order sides as these were pricey. Two comments: Food, whilst really nice and and with chef personalisation - for this area is very top end for starters and mains. Parking limited to the side - hint reverse park or exit challenging.

We held my husbands surprise birthday lunch yesterday and it could not have gone smoother. I had two meetings with Zak and his chef to discuss the menu, table layout and other details. We had a set meal for 17 which included 2 different dietary needs. We also had two little people which at the last minute attended as their after school child care was disrupted. We had a guest travelling from London running late due to her train being cancelled and service was delayed for half an hour. None of this was problem for Zak and his team. The service was spot on, the food was hot and delicious and everyone complimented. Many of my guests hadn't visited the Kings Head before although living fairly local. Many said they would come again with one couple saying it could become their "local" Thank you and well done everyone!

There simply isn’t enough words to explain how amazing this restaurant is! Zac and all members of staff were and are amazing! We celebrated our wedding reception here; nothing was ever to much trouble. The room was spotless, beautiful, just everything we wanted. The main event THE FOOD; 33 starts, 33 mains, 33 deserts. And not a SINGLE issue. Everyone was and will forever be talking about how amazingly delicious the food is, (which let’s be honest at weddings normally the food is the most bland thing). Everyone raved about the food, every single dish outdone itself. The people who had the roast said it was the best roast they’ve ever had. I’ve said this before and I will say it again, best quality food and service of any restaurant I have EVER been too. I will be surprised if this hidden gem doesn’t get a Michelin award, the chef is onto a winner with that menu!!! Food is beyond outstanding, and no the services from the owner to the staff is unmatched. Zac, you have done an absolute amazing/fantastic job you have elevated this pub restaurant to a Gordon Ramsay level, I am beyond happy! Thank you again, and can’t wait to come back and enjoy more food and drink!!!!

Great communication via Facebook messenger to book a table. We walked into a very cosy and atmospheric pub, log fire burning away surrounded by sofas, plenty of tables and lovely ambience. Greeted by a friendly waitress and shown to our table. Drinks ordered, menu boasted a great choice of meals. I opted for the burger and my partner the Herb crusted Monkfish. Delivered in a timely fashion and piping hot we were not disappointed!! Best burger I’ve eaten and believe me I’ve had a few. Partners Monkfish looked and tasted devine.

Decided to go for the special 'Cock-Off' Martini as a first drink, which was visually stunning, shame this was a one day special as would visit again to repeat this experience. Food was marvellous, especially the Tomahawk Steak. Wine selection is also above and beyond a 'normal' pub environment. Great establishment, only one comment is the young manager can be a bit cheeky!

The best pub lunch for a long time! We have driven past this pub for years and years and never called in but today we had a table for lunch with friends. From the moment we stepped in we were greeted with a lovely welcome and we chose a table in the bar which is dog friendly. Drinks were delivered along with a dog water bowl. Our friends joined us and we all chose from the menu. Zak explained that all the food is freshly cooked and he was totally right. I had the most delicious chicken and mushroom pie, the filling was divine. Friends had the chateaubriand which was cooked to perfection. My husband throughly enjoyed his roast pork. We then moved to sit by the lovely fire and could have easily stayed all afternoon. We will definitely return. The interior has been renovated to a beautiful standard. Zak kindly showed my friends the function room which they said was amazing! Well done to the whole team and we cannot wait to come back and spend a longer afternoon!

Working lunch in a lovely environment. Julie the bar lady very attentive and I had no need to leave the table to reorder or lift a finger. Great service.

Myself and my two daughters visited the Kings Head on Tuesday evening. We were greeted by the lovely manager (I think her name is Julie), and taken to our table. I had a fillet steak, which was gorgeous, and my daughters both had the burger which they thoroughly enjoyed. We finished by sharing a chocolate hot pot and a mango soufflé, such a treat. We WILL be back soon. Thank you!

After a very cool welcome, basically none, I thought I’d try and kill the female senior looking manager with kindness, nope, that wasn’t working…….i tried to forget about the bad start, so we sat by the fire in the bar area with my elderly mother to enjoy a drink, my little short haired Daschund pup was on the floor and was not used to the floor, so I sat her on my lap on a blanket, with that the long blonde haired miserable rude manager shouted at me from behind the bar to “Get the dog down!” I was really shocked at her lack of manners and rudeness…for pub that is supposed to welcome well behaved dogs your manager needs educating on how to engage and be courteous to the public.

Wow, wow and wow. Recommended by friends of ours and it certainly didn’t disappoint. We’ve driven past this pub/restaurant many a time but never ventured in - oh what we’ve missed. We went for Sunday dinner and the traditional roast. Super attentive staff, pleasant atmosphere and divine food.

Swiftly taking our drinks order, and also recommending the venison wellington which was absolutely to die for 10/10 highly recommend and well worth the visit !

Simply the perfect roast, the best we have ever eaten from any pub. We could not fault the meal, the meat, potatoes, veg, Yorkshire pudding were all faultless and the gravy is to die for. The service was excellent, owners were caring and clearly know how to run this pub. The refurbishment is fabulous too. As you can read, we really, really like this place and all about it

Pie and mash. Pie was so small thought it was a sack pork pie. Not good value for money

The Sunday roast was one of the best I have had in years including Michelin star restaurants. The jus was shiny and the meat tender. The vegetables were perfectly seasoned and the potatoes were as they are supposed to be, crispy on the outside and...

Edited to add the boulangerie, open Friday and Saturday mornings, 7-10am. The croissants have become a weekly treat for me and the bread and muffins ae great too. Do yourself a favour, stop in and make a purchase! Visited for a family dinner on a Saturday evening. Service was great and food was delicious. My only comment is that for the venison dish, there could be way less meat and more vegetables and sauce instead.

A group of six of us went to the Fox and Hound for Sunday lunch. I have never been before and found the decor and atmosphere very pleasant. The roast chicken I had was very tasty and the staff attentive. The only thing that let the overall visit down was the toilet facilities, they are old and dirty and could do with some updating.

We only stopped by for a few drinks, so didn't eat here. Nice experience with decent fellow visitors. The pub is comfortable and clean with friendly staff. We will visit again!

Centrally located in town centre. Nice server, helpful too when ingredients queried. Service quite slow but the fayre is fresh and beautifully presented. Prices are quite steep imho.

Excellent personable service that was attentive without being rushed. All the food was well presented and clearly the cook knew his or her business. We enjoyed a leisurely lunch in an ambience where conversation was easy. The upstairs toilet were well kept with an accessible option a ground level. The sweets and coffees were just right.

21st birthday family meal. The staff were so friendly, especially as we arrived late. The food was really good, it all came out at the same time ( 10 in our party) The pudding’s were to die for. Very good vfm. The dining area was such a surprise lots of room. Will definitely return
