The Kings Head in Bristol, City of

Wow, what an absolutely horrible establishment. I came in here recently on my way back from the hospital after having an x-Ray. I was very tired and looking for a quick stop. The staff looked as miserable as the building and the manager was dressed very scruffy and just moped around the end of the bar all day, my chips was cold, the bread was stale and my pint had a hair in it. The toilets was foul smelling and it’s a good job the place is shutting down! It’s a wonder really how it’s gotten this far! Would say I’m not returning, but after the end of the year no one will be!

I didn't eat there, and there were more people behind the bar than in the bar.

Very quiet which is nice. Heating would have been even better.

Total disrespect when me and my mates are being charged £5.50 for pints whilst the locals get it for less than £4. Right in front of us as well, she wasn't even being discreet about it. Defo not a nice enough pub to warrant £5.50 for a pint either. Not surprised it's up for sale.

One word, Excellent all over. Thanks from Nigel and Lee In Stourport Worcestershire. We will be back very soon

We had a business launch BBQ on the terrace. The most amazing food and my guests were over the moon with the quality!! Bar service was amazing and we were looked after all night by the team. Definitely having our Christmas dinner there as well. PS. The Sunday roasts are to die for. The jerk pork is probably my death row meal 😂😂 Shoutout Mouse, Nath, James and all the team.

Absolutely discusting. We had cod and chips and left most of it. The fish was grey we were afraid to eat it. Will not visit again.8

Went to a karaoke night had a meal before very nice and had a great night made very welcome by other regulars it's a shame that it's up for sale and could be sold off for housing

The first impression is very scruffy from the outside. Simple things like cleaning up the garden. Inside is tired .

Came in here with two Sons for cheesy chips. Landlady was great with my kids, and food was good. Cider very nice. Ideal to have a local pub that's so welcoming

Absolutely beautiful food fresh and hot good priced definitely go again when in Bristol sunday carvery

Lovely Sunday lunch. Good friendly service Will go back

Absolutely lovely food can't wait for our next trip to Bristol and we definitely will be stopping on the way back home

Just came for a tea good service. Sunday roast food looked amazing.

Barmaid is fit ( blonde one ) 😂

Amazing staff and the owner is one of a kind friendly and welcoming

Coke on tap was completely flat and the toilets look like the scene from the first Saw movie.

Lovely ambiance polite well mannered staff,,child friendly small garden lovely food

Shockingly bad! £220 for a buffet that probably had £30 worth of food on the table. The food was totally bland and the very cheapest ingredients were obviously used. No sweet or dessert option. The pub is very run down and dirty. Toilets were abysmal, filthy and stinking. I dread to think what the kitchen is like as everything is so grubby here. Wouldn't recommend this place.

As a visiting Welshman,was upon entry greeted with a smile and an enthusiastic Lady behind the bar,I asked for the possibility of a Carvery. Which was available.apart from 1 piece of beef,which was a bit chewey all was fine,made to feel welcome,1st time here. But to quote a famous Governor of I think,California... Il be back. DDA iawn

Excellent pub & lovely staff Thank you

Friendly staff in this large quiet pub

We enjoyed a cup of tea in this large family pub the staff were very friendly

Staff were friendly enough. Although good portions, the food was mediocre. Usually I would expect a Friday evening to be packed but the place was dead as a dodo.

Last came here four years ago with my dad it was his favourite place to come for a carvery, but he's sadly passed away now, so we decided to come here today to bring back memories of happy times, even the landlady recognised us, we had a lovely carvery all the staff make you feel welcome see you again soon

Here for a private function but a big thank you to all the staff for a warm friendly welcome service exceptional

Recently had my sisters wake here .

Nice pub 👌 always serves a good Guinness 👍

Just had a Sunday carvery here. Food lovely and plentiful even though we arrived after 2PM. Great value would definitely recommend .Staff all very friendly, overall a very pleasant experience 😃

There sparse website says they do food, no menu though, in fact very little on there. Shame to have to rate the pub down but it's very tatty these days, it could be so good if it were turned into somewhere like the country pubs that serve decent grub, there is nothing like that at all in the area any more, surely it would make a killing. I got to go all the way to Whitchurch for some grub now the winford has gone all poncy

Excellent service Barbara thanks xx

Attended a private function, very nice and welcoming.

I was enquiring wether they do food on Mondays for a group booking and they said I worked in there but never have was not happy with answer I got back

Unfortunately toilets not very nice and stopped selling food. Very quiet pub now.

I was looking for a Sunday dinner take out and friend recommend the kings head. Wow it was lovely i arrived to collect from the carvery, happy staff and great price I would strongly recommend. I think nearby pubs should take note. We will be back.

The service you receive it this venue is out of this world nothing is too much trouble the staff are very welcoming this is a must visit venue

Visited yesterday with family for my husband's birthday - we ordered for roasts and one Caribbean platter. The food came out so quickly and was honestly delicious - the chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Also tried my husband's meal and the curried goat was fantastic. New to the area and will definitely be going back,

Popped in after a funeral with workmates, nice pub.

Sunday carvery is delicious, highly recommend. 👌

Helpful and friendly,lovely big pub

Great beer and staff. Good jukebox. Awesome bar staff.

Banging stop for a post work pint, Trad on draught and everything :D

Desperately needs a refurb. Friendly staff though.

Very Good bar worker great will be back

I was crossing by and I was hungry. They told me that I have to wait until 17:00 when they will be able to start the kitchen.

Went there after a funeral for a drink but was closed .but the lanlady opened up for us early such a nice welcome great looking place to very happy and the pints of fosters went down a treat .changed a bit since i went in when i was 20 thoe but still a great place thank you

Great pub,food is always very nice staff are very friendly and helpful would always recommend.

Landlady ain’t very nice toilets are disgusting.

The landlord Mark and the landlady Sarah are very family orientated people with young children of there own, the pub has a bar and lounge eating area which is very clean tidy and popular with local people, they do a wide range of foods and a lovely Sunday roast, a big car park and easy access for the disabled,and people with learning disabilities. I like it 👍it's really friendly and so are the staff

Sunday lunch was amazing .had beef cooked to perfection .great staff .

Good pub food, great selection of alcohol and very friendly and helpful staff.

El menú de comida parecía ser de los 90 y tenía la hamburguesa del menú, que era peor hamburguesa que comí, no pude obtener un reembolso porque la señora detrás de la barra dijo que estaba mintiendo, así que le dije al chef cuando salió lo mismo y ambos dijeron que estoy mintiendo, así que salí y nunca volví, como me di cuenta al mirar las reseñas, el propietario es el chef, ¿tal vez la próxima vez controle su pub y emplee un chef?

Not bad at all pool table as well... Not a big selection of lager.

They have replaced the Sunday carvery with a plated Sunday roast. Fantastic food, large portions. Staff - super friendly and attentive.

Good friendly staff, decent food 👌

DARE NOT PUT A BAD REVIEW OR YOU WILL GET VERBALLY ATTACKED... READ BAD REVIEWS AND SEE MANAGEMENT RESPONSE !!!!

Nice place but the food is poor when this was pointed out to the chief he didn't care I would have asked for the manager but he is the chief ok for a drink apart from that avoid

Very nice place and garden and you they welcome dogs 👍

Souless space, poor beer choice and gruby dirty toilets. This could be so much better with the right management. So much potential with the closure of near by pubs and restaurants. Gastro pub?........Really, having read some of the previous reviews on the food would suggest you have never visited a " Gastro Pub" I will visit again and post supporting pictures to back up my previous comments.

So after a walk in the sun we decided to get a coffee, ordered 2 latte's. What we got was 2 warm cups of milk with the slightest hint of coffee. The service was quick and cups were clean, but the coffee seemed non existant. The beer and food may well be good, I shalln't bother risking it.

We some weeks ago called in the kings head for the sunday carvery, and now we go every sunday for dinner. Food is great and the staff are very helpful, we would recommend this pub to anyone , a very warm and friendly atmosphere. Always have time for their customers no matter what.

Spacious pub, with a large carpark. It has a pool table and a Juke box with a large choice of music. Good variety of drinks, but if you are a real ale fan, you could be disappointed

Friendly service and decent surroundings for a pint and bite to eat

Nice local pub. Good beer selection and simple, reasonably priced food.

Food is good, drinks are good, can only pay on card above £5 tho, means you have to buy 2 drinks or find a cashpoint

very bad quality hamburger, didn't get a refund

Tasty, spicy food and polite friendly service. My jerk chicken was overly indulgent, they really overdid it on the sauce and cream and it just felt really unhealthy. I’ve had better Caribbean food at other establishments in Bristol. Very basic decor fine for friends but not for a celebration.

Food was OK. Not the best quality but OK for the price. You get wgphatvyou pay for.

Must be the local funeral pub but good food friendly service and comfortable surroundings

Food and staff were great as per usual

Un pub molt concorregut on es pot menjar uns Pie amb acompanyament. El café regular

El lloc és molt acollidor i amb bon ambient. Bon menjar i bon servei! El cafè és millorable.

Quick enough service and polite. Seemed to be beer and cider to suit most.

Nice place not too sure how good as only had a quick beer seemed friendly enough tho

We had an early morning funeral to go to and the family wanted somewhere to go to have coffee and cake afterwards & bless them, Mark opened up 2 hours early to accommodate us - amazing. On such a difficult day he was amazing - it made such a difference to the family - thank you very much.

Had my husband's 50th birthday party here. Mark and Sarah were fantastic. The food was delicious and nothing was too much trouble for them. Highly recommend.

Quick stop after work back to the city centre

My daughter and I visited here on Friday evening while visiting my son at university. We had a very nice meal and drinks which were reasonably priced. The manager was helpful and made us feel very welcome.

Great food and drinks always glad to go back

not like it was ..gone down hill

Thanks to Mark and staff for making my brother's wake a pleasant experience... we enjoyed the food the staff were very friendly everything went very smoothly, we would recommend you

Good Sunday Carvery well worth the price and friendly and helpful staff

Teníamos la habitación trasera para una función familiar privada. Nos dieron permiso para decorar la habitación. Nos gritaron como niños por mover las mesas por el propietario. Luego envió a su esposa a dar una vuelta, ¡luego ella envió a su hija para que nos resolviera! ¡Prometo nunca volver a pisar ese pub! ¡Nunca les daré a esas personas mi dinero para que sean tratadas como huéspedes que no pagan! ¡El propietario y la señora de la tierra son groseros y poco profesionales!

Very good cheap and good service

Food and service good but seating outside area delapatated needs a make over not very inviting

I was at a wake there, the foods was ok, I had better, quality

Poor selection of veg, carrots cold and dry, gravy weak and salty (i like salt but that was too much)

Great variety of food and delicous burgers and carvery. Definatley going again.

This has been my parents local for years now. The staff are always friendly and welcoming whether you are a local or just stopping for quick bite and a pint. I’ve had a carvery here a few times which are always good but today I had a ribeye steak cooked by the landlady herself and it was delicious!! Cooked just how I like and had asked for which can be uncommon even for some upmarket restaurants. Lovely place to go.

Amazing service and welcoming friendly staff will most definitely be returning

I have been here twice for a Sunday lunch buffet. The staff are really polite & friendly. The adult carvery portion consists of slices from 4 meat types & as much veg &'potatoes as you can manage. Hot gravy & all condiments. Really great value for £7.95! Children's portion cheaper & a slightly smaller plate.

I was there for a Wake after the local crematorium service.

Loved the food and the ambiance

Landlady is very hospitable, staff are also very talkative beers good and the food being served looked ok

Great breakfast for lunch - massive!

Food really not good, actually some of my dinner was totally inedible

We arranged a buffet for 20 people following a funeral. There are two function rooms - we used the sports bar at the front. Everything was ready when we are arrived, and the staff were friendly. The food and drink were fine, with both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee and tea available. The only criticism is that the toilets are a bit basic, and the only comment is that you might struggle for parking spaces with a bigger party.

Absolutely perfect for small get togethers. The staff were wonderful and very accommodating

Food was dry and not of high enough quality for the amount we paid
