Great atmosphere ! Family Halloween party, our grandkids thoroughly enjoyed it and so much effort was made by Adam and Ellen to make us all feel welcome. The pub decorations were fantastic and is was great to see so many people there . A packed pub is what we love to see in the village as it gives a place to socialise and meet up.

Hired the function room Bargain, at the last minute after another venue, let us down with their shocking ways! Helpful. And an amazing function was had by all.

Came here for the England game. What an atmosphere it was. The place was rocking. There were free shots when England scored ( so we only had one) and a free BBQ. What more can you want. The land lord & lady were great hosts and love to get involved with there guests. Cracking gaff this place is. Definitely be back in the future.

We visited Hilton for the first time and chose The Kings Head for Sunday lunch due to the good reviews seen online. The pub was nice inside, a good choice of drinks and the barman was very friendly. Unfortunately the Sunday lunch we had was very disappointing. Mushy carrots, cold lumpy mash and very cold broccoli. There was no flavour/seasoning at all. The roast potato was horrid. The picture attached says it all. We couldn’t eat it so we paid and left quickly, not wanting to make a fuss. Not sure if the food is generally like this or this was a one off. Either way, it let down an attractive looking pub.

By far the best pub in Hilton. It’s been taken over recently and the new owners are incredible. In such a short time they have really turned it around. I got speaking to the them (new owners) and the ideas they have, I think they will do a great job. It’s very much a warm and welcoming establishment and very family friendly. It’s a must visit if your around in the Hilton area. The Christmas Market was fantastic also.

I recently came up from Devon for a week to visit family and friends. I hadn't been to the King's Head before, but I had heard it was a great place so gave it a go on the Friday night. I was so blown away by the atmosphere, friendliness of the staff and quality of the food that we came back again on the Saturday for a spot of lunch. The burgers were amazing and my steak was cooked to perfection and topped them off with a tasty pudding. It was good value for money and will most definitely make it a regular Pitstone when I come back for a visit. Well done team... keep up the great work. 👍

I called in just before Christmas in search of some Turkish Delight. Yes they did have some but at a price that was a tad on the expensive side.

We could use an Alexa for background music and drinks available downstairs at the bar. We were able to order in pizzas for delivery which was great and a cheap option between us all. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. A great night had by all
