The Kings Head in Shropshire

An excellent pub - easily the best in town. Great atmosphere, beer and jukebox. Staff friendly and very helpful. We stayed in the camping pods as a base for a couple of cycle rides around the area and they were just right -- excelent shower block too. Thanks and will definitely return

I visited twice over the weekend with my 4-legged partner in crime. We were served by the landlord on both occasions. Guinness perfectly presented with the harp facing forward and a shamrock to top it off. Locals were welcoming, and the pub is dog friendly and clean. On my second visit, I brought cash with me opposed to card, which is their preference if one can.

Friendly local pub, great prices, landlord very welcoming along with the locals, stayed the weekend in the pods behind clean warm and excellent bathroom facilities private toilets and a great size hot shower. Thank you will see you again soon.

Always loved this pub. It has plenty of room, great friendly atmosphere in the front bar. Back rooms are big and have a pool table , more tvs and juke box. They have wooden sleeping pods at the back of the pub and my friends all stayed in them. Very nice private toilet block and shower too. Loved my pint of HPA.

Popped in there while friends were out walking to watch the Wales v Switzerland game. Couldn’t recommend the place highly enough. They were COVID compliant without being over the top and they were extremely competent and friendly. Absolutely top notch venue if you want a pint at reasonable prices with a friendly vibe.

Friendly and helpful staff, good ales. Management went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Very friendly people. Great British pub.

Lovely pub and great service......will be back for sure!! Great beer and TVs for footie.. 100% recommended for a quiet drink or to watch a game.

Quiant, traditional English pub. Went with friends, we had a few drinks and played a few games with the other patrons. Really friendly staff and general sense of community. Hard to feel alone here

My partner & I stopped for one drink whilst visiting Bishop’s Castle. That one turned into many more.... Great pub, Great atmosphere, friendly and professional service from Leeroy, Ro & all the team. We were treated like locals. Well worth a visit !

Had a brilliant night in here the landlord was how landlords should be he was our entertainment will definitely be going back

Friendly and welcoming. Very reasonably priced menu offered a large number of options and all of our party of 4 enjoyed their choices. You can eat in the bar or in a seperate restaurant area. Beer well kept and ales and wine also very reasonably priced. Used by locals which gives the place a good atmosphere.

We waren hier even naar binnen voor een pre dinner drink. We werden zeer vriendelijk ontvangen en dronken een heerlijke ale. Er is een prachtig terras voor als het mooi weer is, met een geweldig uitzicht over de vallei en de heuvels aan de overkant. Een aanrader!

Good food good beer and excellent customer service, the staff were very friendly and the service was great

Had a few drinks in here while staying in Bishops Castle. What lovely friendly locals.We had had problems with our hotel booking at another place in Bishops Castle and the landlord rang round and found us some where to stay last time. Thank you so much.Real ale was excellent!

A very good pub with a great selection of beers and ciders. A good atmosphere to watch the rugby or football.

Called in whilst doing a pub crawl around the village looking for cask ales. Great atmosphere, a few locals in there, big screens with sport on, duke box, dart board and a pool table, it was all going on. Friendly bar staff too. The fiancé couldn't find a pale ale he liked so we moved on. Great bar though.

Spent an evening here, using the pods as accomodation. Spent time in the pub, brilliant service, lovely staff. , lovely customers, lovely beer. Everything about it was brilliant. The bar maid in attendance was awesome too, sadly have forgotten her name.

Nice local pub. Beer kept really well. No food on Sunday evening but it did have a notice to say this.

Best pub in England I would say probably the best there ever will be as well what a lovely landlord will defiantly go a as much as I can highly recommend it

Durante nuestra escapada de Navidad - sojurn, Paramos aquí para una cerveza como en barrica - Marque Ale Trail.

Visitaremos el Castillo de los Obispos un par de veces al año, y el Kings Head crece en mí más y más. Me encanta la cerveza Guinness en aquí, que está muy bien cuidado. Todo el pub diciendo que está tan bien cuidada. Si pasas y creo que es un poco ruidoso, no creo que no es agradable porque es. Ah, y que como perros.

While on a walking/ cycling holiday with 8 friends I visited this pub on a couple of occasions. I found the locals were really friendly and the pub had a nice welcoming atmosphere.

Popped in twice to this pub while I was staying in Bishops Castle. Enjoyed a cider and some chips. Loved the atmosphere, decor and service. Sadly they only serve breakfast to those staying at their hotel. It looked quite good!

We visited the Kings Head during Bishops Castle Real Ale Trail weekend. There are six pubs and two breweries in this small town and once a year in July they all join together in a celebration of real ale. The Kings Head is the "sports...

Good atmosphere, friendly locals, dogs welcome. Great place to stop and have a drink. They have a pool table and dart board.

Precioso pub, el personal amable, gente amable, pintas y ambiente ... y se admiten perros! ¿Qué más se puede pedir?! nos alegramos mucho de haber encontrado el Kings Head y su en glamping vainas :)

visited this pub a few times with friends, once to watch everton v spurs very friendy staff and the manager was a good laugh (even if he is a spurs fan)good banter with the customers.

They don't do food here any more. The Kings Head is back to being a pub. The atmosphere us good and the locals are very welcoming. My wife and I visited here last weekend.Good pint! They have just opened some glam ping pods out the back if the pub which look really good value too. Worth a visit if you are in Bishops Castle!

Great beer, great food, great ambiance. The Sunday lunch was like home made and extremely tasty. Pre bookig is a must as it is very popular.

Just great, they do what it says on the tin, great beer & atmosphere. What more could one ask for?The pods at the rear of the pub look great too!

I called into this pub the other day just for a pint. It had just opened and I had a pint. The beer was lovely and the establishment actually looked like what a pub should like. The barmaid was nice and friendly and conversational and that's the kind of place I like. Nothing was too much trouble and I'd warmly recommend that you have a drink or two in this pub. It's a lovely area to explore and the beer was exceptional.What more can one say? A wonderful experience, Kings Head. Thank you.

In town on a hot day so passing by and went in for a drink. Lunch so is was quiet in here. Not a lot of choice for a pint as there was a beer festival on at the weekend and they were getting ready for that. The pint I had was an excellent drink and was very much enjoyed. The staff were friendly and so we enjoyed our short visit here. A cask marque pub to be recommended. Did not have a meal so unable to comment on the food.

We ate here twice whilst on holiday in the area, once for Sunday lunch and once for an evening meal, mid week. The food was lovely, home cooked and hearty. There was an excellent selection of veg at an extremely reasonable price and the home made puddlings are to die for! Because we enjoyed it so much we came back later that week for an evening meal and again the food and service was amazing. We are a family with three young kids and haven't found everywhere in Bishops Castle to be as welcoming to families. The kings head offers great value, is immaculately clean and has a lovely ambiance and great service. We cannot find any fault and would not hesitate to return if we are in the area again.

We visited here one evening while staying in the area, we were greeted with a smile and a very attentive barmaid who immediately made us feel welcome. The menu was a typical pub menu, but the food was exceptionally good, way above general pub food quality and quantity. Wish it was out local, as we would be here most nights We Would definitely recommend this as a place to eat and drink

After reading previous reviews and deciding to give it a go, I can honestly say that we cannot fault either the food or the service. I had the veggie lasagne, which was freshly cooked and piping hot. It came with a baton of garlic bread and substantial side salad. My partner had the salmon on crushed potatoes in a white wine sauce with seasonal veg. It was exceptional, with the salmon being almost to big to finish. The service was quick and the staff friendly and attentive. For the portion size the bill was very reasonable (less than £20) We would certainly visit again, in fact there was so much to choose from the menu it was difficult to decide what to order. Outstanding!

A friend and myself visited this establishment recently on a saturday, in search of a substantial lunch .... we entered the pub from the High Street straight into an unwelcoming bar area....we were greeted by a surly Landlord and it can only be described as a tumbleweed experience!!..... the menus we were handed, had what we can only presume is an excellent evening menu.... the lunch menu however was extremely basic and uninviting... in search of better surrounding to sit in, we walked into the back room (which I presume was the Restaurant area) this again was uninviting.... needless to say we hastily drank our drinks and eventually ended up a little further out of Bishops Castle at the Herbert Arms (Chirbury) and had an amazing meal and we were made to feel very welcome...... we will NOT be returning!.

I would recommend the food here which is excellent and great value for money. The staff are helpful and the service was good. The menu appears just like your average pub grub but the food is well above the average standard, but for the same cost. I chose Salmon in a white wine sauce with crushed new potatoes and seasonal vegetables. The piece of salmon was huge and very well cooked and the sauce was rich, buttery and delicious. The seasonal vegetables were tasty and cooked with various seasonings which really added depth of flavour. For dessert I chose bread and butter pudding with custard, which was a generous serving, and beautifully presented. All in all a hidden gem of a restaurant.

We were looking for a traditional Sunday Roast and found as good as you could get right here. Service was friendly and right on to it.

visited during beer festival managed to get served quickly also managesd to get a chair in cool part of the pub very busy will revisit again

On attending the Bishops Castle Beer Festival Saturday the 13th July we happened upon the Kings Head. A group of us went in and asked the Bar Maid for five pints of real ale. When she had pulled them we asked politely for them to be topped up as they were obviously well below the pint. Her reply astounded us she told us that she was far too busy to bother to give us the correct measure. When we asked to see the manager he topped up our glasses without any hesitation. Its a pity his staff do not give the same service as this gives his establishment a bad reputation we drank up and moved on to another pub.

Lovely place to pop in for lunch, staff very good kept asking if all was ok with our meal and if we had everything we needed. Now to the meal, it was delicious from start to finish, the home made chips were beautiful and the pudding,lemon cheesecake was fantastic, could'nt find fault with anything. All great value for money, with plenty of choice on the lunchtime menu. Would go again without a doubt.

There is a varied menu all of which seemed pretty good value for money.There were eight in our group and everyone enjoyed everything they ate, especially the chips which were delicious. (There were some disputes regarding stealing chips as some of the main courses had come with new potatoes, which were also good.) We would definitely eat there again and there was a good selection of drinks available including proper beer. Again, prices were pretty reasonable.It was easy to park in the auction yard and walk through and to leave half the family drinking whilst the female contingent explored the shops either side the street up the town. Some interesting shopping, especially at "Simpsons" right at the top opposite "The Poppy House".

Good value for money, friendly staff but there is room for improvement - can't quite put my finger on it but something isn't there that should be there. Having said that, I might well go back when in the area.

Very friendly, food is really good and will go out of their way to make you feel very welcome. Hubby is really impressed with the real ales too.
