The Kings Head in North Warwickshire

Called here years ago when travelling on the canal. It didn't disappoint this time too. A friendly welcome, spotlessly clean everywhere and excellent food. Good prices and a great choice of food, with specials on offer most evenings. Would highly recommend.

Well worth booking :) the Sunday roasts were spot on Great staff - friendly welcome - good value Will definitely come again Chris and Lise off the boat

Nice atmosphere. Friendly service. Good basic meals. Decent price.

Brilliant share wings, cracking ribeyeans succulent scampie. Great evening.

Great service very friendly food fantastic

Very friendly staff, courteous and efficient. There is a good choice of food. We had the scampi and chips and the avocado and chicken salad. They were delicious. We will definitely be returning.

Great food and friendly service

Really enjoyable afternoon sat outside next to the canal. Very nice lunch. Pork belly bites starter was superb and the scampi delicious 😋 👌

Service is always fab and they are so happy to accommodate us. Nothing is too much trouble and everything is done with a smile. Our family love it here.

Lovely food. Cooked and served so well. The people serving were polite and efficient. We had a great evening

Under new management and I have to say ,it's as brilliant as the previous which is quite an achievement.great food.great staff.

Lovely pub with a great quiz on Thursdays. Would highly recommend food too

Food was lovely and service and staff where very welcoming and friendly would defiantly return

Very kind and welcoming staff and tasty food. You can find a table along the canal for a pleasant view too.

VERY DISAPPOINTING... New couple has taken over what was, was being the word, an amazing, friendly place, none of that there now, never going back, food was awful, asked for medium rare think it had been cooked before then reheated, hard chewy cooked within an inch of it's life, husband had chicken dinner awful as well, queued for drinks ignored by manageress, told them it was over cooked they couldn't careless, asked to speak to manageress wouldn't come out, that speaks volumes to me. AVOID IF YOU WANT A NICE TIME AND MEAL .

pooped in for lunch and a drink after our walk along the canal, Nicky made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived nice menu and nice place to visit also Sarah was nice as well keep the steps up Nicky lol Steve and Michele Petryszyn

Lovely canalside pub with a pretty garden, unfortunately very noisy from traffic and trains. Excellent service and food.

Brilliant service, great cask beers and fantastic, locally sourced, home cooked food. The staff were very helpful, recommended delicious food from a great range of daily specials and couldn't do more to make sure we enjoyed our evening!

I went for a meal with my partner and the food was alright ( after it was replaced) There was a hair in my roast !!! Yak !! Also the manger walked by and put me off my food he could really do with a wash The service I received was good that’s why I gave them a 2 stars but everything else is a no go

Poor service and even poorer food- avoid

We had a great Sunday Roast, very reasonably priced and excellent staff on hand. We did not book, it was a bit last minute but ofcourse always advisable

Highly recommend. We popped in for dinner after collecting our daughter from nursery. We didn’t book but were accommodated straight away next to the warm radiator. The service was excellent and the food came so quick, all hot and fresh. The atmosphere was lovely and I will be returning. Keep up the great work. Thanks for a lovely meal.

Went Monday evening, had green Thai salmon which was beautiful, as were the wings. Waitress was very nice and food was hot, plentiful and delivered quite quickly. Will call again if passing through.

Lovely food... one thing I have to say, Sunday lunch, one small slice of beef!!! Not great to be fair if I had the beef, chicken and pork trio would of had one of each but went with just beef and one slice!! Everything else was good.

We popped in here for a drink and the menu looked good. It was Steak Wednesday so we took advantage of the offer and we were not disappointed! Food was delicious, locally sourced where possible and all made in house. Sarah and Ivo are doing a fantastic job building their business and we wish them all the best. Highly recommended.

Nice pub garden especially in warm weather

Lovely atmosphere and good food!

Lovely location and beer garden, nice beer, dogs welcome which is good. Food terrible, 3 been chilli tasteless and like from a can. Ordered for 2 people and meals came out about 5 minutes apart instead of together and second meal came out nearly cold.

Great pub, great cider and lovely music

Was absolutely amazing and we were really taken care of! Excellent service and would definitely go again

Very nice meal in a lovely little pub, friendly staff. a great settting to stop if you have a canal boat

Lovely meal, super nice people, very friendly. Highly recommended.

Lovely staff, lovely food, all round great pub!

Great little place, great food and service.

Lovely place to watch the boats on the canal

Popped in for a late lunch, food was lovely, served in good time and the staff were very welcoming. We ate outside as we have a small dog and a water bowl was next to the table for him.

We found this pub when searching for dog friendly places to eat whilst away. The food is supreme , service excellent ,quick and the staff very friendly but not overbearing I think it was Nicki who looked after us and she was delightful. Worth a visit and clearly the landlords are looking at future improvements too, so it will hopefully get even better.

Great food, had a meal in the garden and it overlooked the canal

We all enjoyed our meals this evening. The lady who served us was lovely and very friendly. Looking forward to another visit.

Moored at the Athlestone moorings and short walk back to the pub. Great food, with a really good choice of food and helpful, attentive staff. 4 of us each had something different and everything was delicious. We got there a bit early and the dining area filled up after we arrived. Have recommended it to several other narrowboaters.

First visit to this pub, interior is beautiful, nice atmosphere, friendly staff . Food was delicious, prompt service at the table, would visit again with no hesitation..

We walked from Hartshill down the canal, which is a beautiful walk through the locks and lovely scenery, where we ended up at The Kings Head. This was our 1st time visiting and were all very pleasantly suprised by how lovely the pub was. Very clean and inviting, staff were brilliant and food was fabulous. Nothing was too much hassle and we felt very comfortable, especially as we had children who were slightly noisy at times. Thank you all much for a lovely time and a great meal. We will definitely be coming back :)

Quiet lunchtime but a warm welcome from the staff. Interior nicely decorated and comfortable seating. Food was great and very reasonable, drinks appropriately chilled and delivered promptly. Definitely worth a visit.

Worth a visit. 100% recommend. Staff are friendly and helpful. Dog was made to feel as welcome as we were. Plenty of options on the menus. Really nice garden on the canal. Parking on site and family friendly. We will be back.

A hidden Gem found a pub I didn't know existed what a find great food had the 10oz sirloin and my partner had the 8oz rump all served with real chips the chunky ones superb very pleasant staff very tidy pub and with a dart board though these were extinct due to the ( Helf and safety crew ) this pub is well worth a visit and deserves your custom 🍽️🍷🍺👍

Traditional pub menu, food was lovely and nicely presented. Good service and nothing was to much trouble if asked for anything.

Lovely food but lacking ambience

Slow bar service as they had noone on the bar at times, food was banging though

My 1st visit I only went there because saw advert at train station I'm glad I went there service was excellent quick the beer was good a really good pub to stop before making my way home on the train.

Had a great sunday lunch here with the family for our sons Birthday couldnt fault anything ,with great service from all the staff on 25/02/24

Food was great. I had a steak. Service and atmosphere were also awesome.

Fabulous meals, good quality and very tasty mains and puddings. Friendly atmosphere and reasonably priced would highly recommend.

Very clean and tidy (recently refurbished ?) canal-side pub with what looked like good outdoor seating. Lacked atmosphere on a Thurs lunchtime in early January but in summer I'm sure it will be heaving (?). Music started at a pleasant level then turned up for some reason. Good beer and Excellent cider, according to my wife. We didn't eat but the food looked and smelt excellent.

Food was great under new management, pub decor a bit bare , but im sure new owner will put their own stsmp on the place

Food pretty good but short staffed and it took best part of 1.45hr for food to come out the kitchen and they hadn't got various items like steak and some sweets real shame as it was our daughters 1st birthday.

We went to the quiz last night and will be going again! We ate before hand with two of us having the sirloin, one burger and one scampi. All meals were perfect and delicious (and hot!), would highly recommend.

Nice steak served by friendly staff in a nice christmas atmosphere

Just got new management. Only serves bar meals.

31 Oct 2023 currently closed for a week or so as new management have literally just got the keys. They say they are open again soon.

We only stopped by on the bike and had a coffee, but the staff were friendly and helpful. It's a really cute eclectic and out of the way pub.

This pub is now closed. Turned up 24/10/23 to be told we are closed for forever as the door wasn't locked so we went inside.

Good food cooked well & a lovely location with outdoor seating next to a canal. The staff are friendly & efficient, but not so the kitchen. Didn't get what was ordered, just gave me the same meal as my husband who is a coeliac. Limited menu which differed in content and price to the website unfavourably.

Loved this pub really welcoming staff and management. Good selection of beers and food. Beautiful outdoor area with seating alongside the canal.

This establishment is a real find, the food is absolutely fantastic! It's just like food used to be in the good old days, the steaks are thick and juicy, supported by fresh vegetables. A friendly welcome awaits you the moment you walk through the door, the meals are very reasonably priced with a very good selection to choose from. We will be back!

Cosy little pub. Friendly atmosphere. Great staff. Excellent food for a very reasonable price.

It's a really atmospheric pub, small inside but really nicely decorated; nice and cosy. The food was good, not mind blowing but what you'd expect from some hearty pub grub. We didn't sit outside, but there's a lovely canalside beer garden which I'm planning to spend some time in next Summer. The team were really friendly and accommodating, and I'll definitely be back again.

Very nice food with great service and to top it off fantastic 80's music all evening 👍👍👍

Friendly staff, nice food and nice outdoor area. Reasonable prices.

Excellent food with a quick service

Came here for cream coffe, but no cream mmmm!!!!!

Lovely location next to the canal. Cosy inside with a lovely little beer garden. Food was nice, just basic pub grub. Friendly, helpful staff.

Very nice location by the canal

Nice place on the banks of a Canal, lovely food and atmosphere

Food was excellent and the staff really helpful i really enjoyed my visit today

Nice pub good real ales lovely service.

Friendly staff food was lovely.

Excellent service, food was lovely. Highly recommended.

We ate in one of the cabins outside, which was cosy with its own heater. Friendly service. Nothing very exciting on the menu, but what we had was fine - I chose the special, sweet chilli salmon with new potatoes and salad and hubby had scampi and chips. Right on the Coventry canal, so we enjoyed a wander after our meal.

Great food nice staff backs out on to the canal with little huts to eat in also has an out door pool table

Great beer and lovely warm welcome and doggy friendly.

Enjoyed a nice meal out with the family. Ordered double beefburger, hunters chicken and the special of the day (beef bourguignon) All meals were good quality and waitresses were helpful and friendly. On a previous visit we had the nachos as a main meal and shared as a starter, these were yummy. Nice outside eating area with plenty of tables which have shelter. Would have been nice to see Lasagne and Fish Chips as a choice on the everyday menu.

Visited today with family for lunch for my birthday celebration, first time we have been here. Great little pub, polite and friendly staff and the food was excellent. High quality pub food, served very hot and good portion size. Also noticed the outside cabins to book which are a great idea.Good canalside location.Will certainly return.

Good. Not the best but a great drop by if you need some food drink ext

After 3 covid cancellations we decided to go ahead no matter what with date 4 and booked the marquee at the King's Head We sorted a menu with Marie and boy did she pull out all the stops Pate or crayfish cocktail starter Beef bourgignon mainTreacle sponge or cheesecake pud Everything was gorgeous and guests could not get over how much food there was Everything was simply perfect and we would heartily recommend using this place for any party Excellent location for photos Excellent food and service Bar prices too so absolute bonus for our guests

Excellent service . Tasty food and lively canal side views.

hi we popped into the kings head on a tuesday afternoon at about 3.30pm! we ordered a diet coke and a pint of bass which may i say was very well kept and at about the perfect temp! our waitress was on the ball and did"nt hesitate to bring over a menu! after about 5 mins she came back and asked if were ready to order! we ordered the steak and ale pie with chips and the double beef burger with chips and a side order of garlic bread! the meals came out in good time and both were piping hot with my wife saying that the beef in her pie was of very good quality and tender! my double burger was of a very high standard and the chips were spot on! the only one gripe i had was the garic bread came out with only 3 small slices and as you know 3 into 2 don"t go! perhaps its just me being over picky but at £2.50 per portion i think they could have stretched to 4 slices of garlic bread! for pudding i had apple pie and custard which again was very good! so overall it was a great meal with good service and great food!! we will be back that is for certain!! thanks kings head for a great anniversary lunch!!

Since re-opening we find ourselves here more often than not on a Saturday afternoon for beer & prawns :) Location by the canal is beautiful, and always has a good vibe. Staff are friendly - and C19 guidelines are strictly followed - highly recommend it for a quite bit and drink on your own, a meal out with partner or for a full on family celebration :) Go try it :)

Food was wonderful and all the staff were extremely friendly

What can I say? This place could not be better. I'm sure others agree as it was very busy, even midweek. It's a lovely spot with a canal-side beer garden and food served. Within stumbling distance of Atherstone railway station, and the town centre is just a little further on if you are going to go on to other places. Visitor mooring for narrowboaters. Dog and family friendly: my little one certainly loved gongoozling, hearing the trains pass, and seeing the lorries on the road bridge. (Ahem, that might have been me as well)

Spoke to the owner himself, bubbly chap! Not much variety to I shared some suggestions. Chicken that was cooked was too dry for us all. Lovely atmosphere and beautiful outside seating. Pub is also dog friendly and the staff are great and happy to help.

We visited over the Bank Holiday weekend, service users and their staff for a meal. We were accomodated very well, sat in a quiet area and nothing was too much trouble. Shayne and the staff went above and beyond to welcome us and ensure our visit was smooth and enjoyably. Our service users really felt at ease. The food was outstanding and highly recommended. The team at the kings head work extremely hard to keep everyone covid safe. We will definitely be returning.

Lovely dog friendly pub, food was fab! Will be back soon x

Just eaten here in a beautifully set up outside garden. Fabulous food, great service. Excellent value

Likely the best pub on the Coventry canal (good food and outdoor garden) and accessible by boat.

Visited for Sunday lunch, first time out for months with the grandchildren, food , service & atmosphere was lovely, obviously the prices have gone up but still good quality, my only gripe would be the Crazy price of a kiddies Fruit Shoot drink, £1:60p , you could buy a multi pack in any supermarket for less than the price of one here, a little extortionate to say the least, hope your not becoming anti family friendly

Amazing food and service. Staff are polite, professing friendly. We enjoyed celebrating a 30th birthday we you. Thank you

Had an amazing afternoon tea delivered today for my hubby's birthday, looked and tasted fantastic. The little extra touches made it so special, my husband was overwhelmed. Thank you so much

I ordered my Mum afternoon tea to be delivered. What a great service that was totally appreciated by my Mum. She loved everything about the afternoon tea. We were all amazed how much food you were given for such a small price. Thank you.

Received a tea from our Granddaughter .1. Delivered to the door2. Fresh and delicious3. Mixed savoury and sweet4. Tea bag included !!We really enjoyed it and there was enough for the next days snacks! In these days of worry and problems for Landords this was a great option.Thanks again

Just been for a walk along the canal - ordered 2 Sunday dinners and a steak and ale pie (not for the first time becoming a weekly lockdown tradition)! Always tasty and a good size portion. Support your local pub ♥️
