The Kings Head in Aylesbury Vale

This was my first time visiting Buckingham to meet up with family members. We came across the kings head when walking around the town looking for somewhere to have lunch and didn’t know what to expect. We were blown away by how friendly and welcoming the staff were. The food was exactly what we were hoping for and our empty plates showed how much we enjoyed our meal which was also very very reasonably priced. You gave us a very good impression of Buckingham, I only wish I lived closer because I felt so welcome I would without a doubt become a regular visitor 😁

The best place for a drink and a meal. Cannot fault the food. Excellent quality and tasty. Pie with chips or mash with garden peas or mushy peas served with gravy and a drink for just £11. Staff are amazing, friendly, and attentive. Wide range of many items the menu 10/10

Lovely atmosphere and people. Always happy, friendly and make you feel welcome. Their food is also brilliant with plenty of choice and specials on offer. I highly recommend the pies and their breakfasts are amazing too, all. Wet reasonably priced. If you are in the area I recommend popping in , you won’t regret it.

Spur of the moment visit while visiting the local hospital. Quick and friendly staff. We both had a breakfast which is served till 14.00. Very fresh and able to change some of the items. Lovely Americano and Cappuccino. We shall visit again

had an amazing breakfast again, top quality food and great value for money compared to other places in town....staff are friendly and service is fantastic will be back to try out their lunch menu very soon.

Sausage and mash was very good would recommend. And the waiter was very friendly and kind. I would recommend coming here

My wife and I visited the Kings Head by chance. We were passing through and wanted a bite to eat. We were glad we picked this pub as the food and friendliness of the staff is excellent. We have already said we will call in again when we are passing through. To make our visit extra special they even had live music which we thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you for a lovely afternoon 🙂👍

Absolutely amazing food staff are really freindly and helpful Was a really good experience from start to finish Have been back a few times now and really enjoy being there Really good for a small town to have such a warm welcoming place to visit Well done all staff and kings head

What a find. A great pub in the centre of the little Market Town of Buckingham. We went in for lunchtime refreshments. Staff & customers so friendly. Absolutely any type of drink you wanted. I had a speciality gin my partner coffee as he was driving.

Had lovely breakfast cooked by Karl, eggs were lovely and just what I fancied. Great service all around ☺️

Came here for a coffee instead of going to a chain but it was scolding hot and wasn’t that enjoyable. Only saw after I paid I could have got a coffee and cake for £5 but was too late to change.

The Kings head is our favourite pub in Buckingham. The team are always so welcoming, they take the time to get to know you and are very family friendly. They have a lovely variety of drinks, cakes and snacks available. The menu is delicious, varied and they have great options for vegetarians. The food is always 10 out of 10 and the chef takes the time to check in with the customers. Highly recommended.

Quite honestly one of the worst presented meals I’ve ever had. I got beef casserole with mash and peas, I think I found one piece of beef in the plateful of lumpy gravy that was given and it was just awful. My partner had steak pie with mash and again he had slightly more beef in his pie but swimming in lumpy gravy and just incase there wasn’t enough lumpy gravy for us on our plates, we were also given a jug of gravy to add to the swimming food 😂 also really noisy and I really don’t know how they have 4.5 stars on tripadvisor

First time visit for Sunday Brunch. Excellent choice of menu, including vegan & vegetarian options. Superb service via most helpful & informative young lady, apologies I forgot to take a nite of her name. Garden was dog friendly. I had full English breakfast which was one of best I’ve ever tasted. Well presented & great value for money as included toast & free hot drink. We shall return

I got in just as kitchen was shutting but the chef (karl) happily did me some food and the bar man (dave) was very happy and friendly. Made to feel very welcome. Will visit again soon.

Came in today to see my bestie and had the kings club sandwich what a delight, it was perfect! Very delicious and I highly recommended!

Was fortunate enough to talk with the chef directly. Mentioned wanting a small but substantial meal to tide me over at brunch time. Went with chef’s recommendation of sausage and egg sandwich. I was certainly not disappointed! Really fulfilling and beautiful runny yolk but perfectly cooked and noncrispy egg. Real art to that! Excellent bar staff too as always.

Speak as you find they say, so I am - and I found this an unexpected delight. Were looking for somewhere after the Italian across the road was apparently 'full' (didn't look full to me...). So we tried the Kings Head, and I am so glad we did. Lovely, inexpensive, and fulsome burger and chips, plus onion rings. Very good value, and excellent service from the very pleasant lady at the bar. Full marks

On a miserable damp market day we were out walking our dogs. I like to support local businesses and haven't eaten in The Kings Head for many years. We ordered breakfast sandwiches and both the sausage and bacon sandwiches were truly good. Fairly priced. Good food. Great Service. Well done 👏

Wow is a good way to start this review! Booked a table for 7 at the kings head, we were greeted by lovely bar staff who took our order and delivered our drink to the table. Ever single food order was delicious and the portions...

Another great Sunday lunchtime with live music from Mike Gethin. Sausage rolls and roast potatoes, cheese and onions great gesture not found in many pub nowadays

Jess was a fantastic bar service technician. With very little information, she managed to recreate a cocktail from my youth (a very long time ago!) It was magnificent!! Really appreciated her going above and beyond 6 stars!!!

Amazing service, the staff are so friendly and the chef is brilliant. They always make you feel so welcome.

We are always greeted with a big smile and a warm we welcome by Ash behind the bar and Carl the chef. It is a great venue for excellent pub food and cocktails, beer and wine. With some great music nights never been let down

Came in this evening for a couple of burgers on the Kings Head’s Wednesday burger deal. I had the burger of the week with blue cheese, mushroom and bacon, served with a generous portion of chips and slaw. Perfect midweek treat- and really well priced...

The food was amazing and the bar staff were very attentive ! Unfortunately , the manager was not very welcoming and made the experience particularly uncomfortable for me and my friends, she was quite unprofessional in general and was not very helpful when we had...

I moved to Buckingham in 2020 nearer to friends and became a regular to the Kings Head. We have had some amazing evenings and events in this pub their Kings breakfast is superb their Nachos with chilli beef is amazing. Over the years we have...

Jovial reception from Kelly and the staff at the Kings Head. Great food and super service. Many thanks to all.

Had brekky here with friends today. Carl cooked us an amazing breakfast, best brekky in Buckingham. Emma was behind the bar, very attentive and never had to ask for anything. Thanks all.

Just passing through, no history/ view on the area, tired and hungry - the halumi and chorizo club sandwich was just what I needed!

Pub is a bit tired outside, but once inside is attractive with welcoming staff. My wife & I both had breakfasts - both were ample, excellent & decent value. Would have no hesitation in returning if in Buckingham again.

The Kings head is such a warm and welcoming experience. I have taken breakfast there a couple of time, once with my wife and once with friends on bikes. On both occasions the staff could not have made us feel more welcome. The group of...

Always get good food here what ever time of day. Breakfast good as was the service today by Emma. Will return 😁

Dropped in on a Sunday for lunch. No Sunday lunch menu just the regular bar menu which was perfectly acceptable. Food very good and Kelly and staff made us feel at home. Just need more time to work my way through the many many gins...

Lovely pub. Made very welcome. Special mention to Emma who recommended a Indian restaurant for us and then phoned ahead and booked a table for us. Great place to have a drink. Highly recommend

I have lived in and around Buckingham for almost forty years. Generally I wouldn't consider a local pub for anything but a meeting and drinking establishment. I have travelled extensively and sampled some of the world's finest cuisine, entertainment, patronage and cultural diversity. Some months...

Quick service, excellent attention to detail, hearty and delicious food, wonderful staff! I came in a few weeks ago for a quick bite to eat before an evening shift and was not disappointed! Karl, the chef, had a wonderful special of beef stew served with...

We were staying nearby and walked Down and found this pub. We couldn’t have asked for nicer staff. Emma was working and nothing was too much trouble for her. She was so friendly and just generally nice. We had Belguim friends with us and this...

I was greeted by an infectious smile and warm welcome from Emma as I walked in for the first time. Her knowledge of the town would struggle to be paralleled, and she has a personality to match that knowledge. Whether passing through, or staying for...

We went to this pub for a drink and it was really lovely and relaxing until a woman came in with a green dress. She was apparently the manager but was not professional at all. She was really rude to one of the employees and...

Great food, great service as per usual. My partner and I both had full english, our new go to for breakfast at lunch time..

Never judge a book by its cover. When we first walked up we were a bit unsure as it does look at little old fashioned from the outside. But so pleased we went in. Service was lovely with an excellent selection of beer and spirits....

Always a great place to go for a drink and food. Best chilli loaded Nachos around. Great ambience and service 🍲👍👍👍👌

Just had the chefs homemade jalapeño croquettes, they were absoloutly amazing and I would highly recommend the chef karl! Always great service and impeccable food!

Excellent food and Emma was our waitress very friendly and professional. Clean and tidy and quick with the food and drinks

This is a fantastic pub which we are fortunate enough to have as one of our local pubs. The food selection is good and service is fast and efficient. Food is well presented and always with a smile! Great ambience and especially if you have...

Popped into the Kings Head for pre dinner drinks with friends, what a friendly welcome. It had a lovely atmosphere and there were several groups in there all who seemed to be having a great time. The bar staff were attentive and there is a...

Stopped off to avoid the rain, but turned out to be a nice evening. Great selection of Gins, kids had cake. Emma and Karl were great

I visited today with my children and Emma was very welcoming to us all. I would definitely recommend this pub. A great choice of drinks and excellent, friendly service 🥂

I am a frequent visitor to this great place. The beer is always cold with a great choice and an even more amazing selection of Gins. The food has always been brilliant from breakfast to lunch to evening meals. The staff are extremely friendly and...

Went for a quick lunch, the food was great (a full English and a tuna Mayo jacket potato) and so was the fast and friendly service from Dafe, we would definitely go again when next in Buckingham

We were warmly welcomed by the young gentleman (Dafay) behind the bar , who promptly took our orders . The service was outstanding as was the selection of gins. The food was exceptional and came out in record time . We will definitely be returning.

Just had full English, which was spot on, followed by coffee. Service excellent- very friendly and relaxing.

The service is excellent and the vibes are even better! Every time I have come to this pub I have been welcomed in like it's my first time, the people are lovely and maintain great rapport with their guests. Emma & Joanna were very warm...

I’ve been coming here now and then for a few months, and can honesty say that the staff beer and atmosphere in this pub is spot on, the girls working behind the bar are not only beautiful but very friendly charming and everyone makes you...

I had a great time with my sister today great service nice staff and can’t wait to come back with more family to show them how incredible it is here.

This morning I came in for breakfast with my sister, it was incredible and the food tastes insane I will definitely be coming back to this pub. The staff was lovely and Karl and Dafe where very approachable and very lovely to talk to. Thankyou...

Nice food, very friendly and welcoming staff in good surroundings. Great on a nice day in the pub garden for drinks and food.

Visited this pub a few times while having a long weekend in Buckingham.. Really nice pub.. As a lovely pub garden at the back.. Worth a visit and the guy behind the bar was really polite and friendly..

Came here for Sunday lunch with my family and dog. Always a great atmosphere with very friendly staff. Has done normal lunch things plus probably the biggest Chilli Nachos I've ever had.

Nice ambience, nice food, nice staff, what's not to like? Jack very friendly and chatty and the food was delicious. A nice place for a meet up with some friends we've not seen for a while due to Covid.

Lovely small pub with lots of seating and very friendly and helpful staff. There are plenty of drinks to choose from and as the name suggest an amazing array of gins too. The prices are not too bad and it has a very calm and...

Went for a family breakfast excellent service and great food. Food was lovely and warm and fast service.

Right here we go - I’m not on for writing bad reviews but can’t stop myself posting regarding the “anticlimax” experience on the “buy one get one free cocktail offer” tonight at the Kings Head - we saw the blackboard offer outside which did its...

The outside eating area was very pleasant. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Our main courses were good (chilli and lasagne), but the cakes (Chocolate orange and banana) with coffee were even better!

Arrived half 3 and hungry; food served from 5pm so we had coffee and cake. The chef did say he’d happily cook us something though. Very kind but we said we’d wait. Had the chilli con carne, and ham egg and chips. Both very nice.

Nice atmosphere especially in the garden in summer. Drinks are nice and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend.

Been to King's Head for drinks but our first breakfast. Impressed... Great food and portions, good quality and great coffee to. Prices fair to. Would recommend 👌😊

We stumbled across this love bar for a drink and ended up having our evening meal there. The food was very good and would definitely return if we were in the area. The staff was eve efficient and friendly

We were staying in Buckingham overnight with our Border Collie and found this friendly pub where Monty was allowed in the bar. All Covid rules were followed and the friendly barmaid supplied us with excellent beer and a large bowl of water for the dog.

Came over from Rugby to visit friends. We prebooked an outside table here to respect covid guidelines and as soon as we walked in we were made to feel welcome. Checking in was simple, the premises were spotless with plenty of sanitising stations. Had an...

Kelly and her team always give a warm welcome and her range of gins very extensive and well organised with covid measures. So pleased they open again for drinks and food, and the local Bucks Brothers gin well worth a sampling.

Took my parents for lunch this weekend. Really friendly staff and good covid measures. Ordering on your phone is easy but they also have the option to get paper menus. I had a fish finger sandwich, very good for the price. Parents had chilli which...

Me and about 9 friends came here one evening in May. As soon as we entered we were given bad looks and the girls behind the bar were visibly annoyed that we had come. They continued to look grumpy and talk about us infront of...

One of the loveliest places in Buckingham to eat, (or drink). Theres are many places in this area that do good food, but have bad service. Or bad service, but good food. Whereas at The Kings Head, the staff is always so warm, welcoming, and lovely, and the food is always top notch. There is a reason this place is my go to. I have never been disappointed here.High quality food and drink, with good portion size, at reasonable prices. Its also right in the centre of town. The staff here take real pride in their work.

The staff here are so friendly and you get a real family feel from the atmosphere! Lovely location too. And the food is always outstanding- 10/10 service. Good prices and good portions - the drinks range is so diverse and you’re guaranteed a good time...

Lovely, safe place to eat or just enjoy a drink, lots of hand sanitizers around, garden area if weather is good. Great food, lovely coffee & no waiting for food, well cooked meals & varied menu. Highly recommend.

This is one of the loveliest places I have visited in a long time. In a quiet town like Buckingham they have got the mix of cozy and vibrant bang on. The staff are so accommodating and go above and beyond whilst being absolutely compliant...

Booked for lunch on Saturday afternoon and pleased to exncouyexcellent Covid arrangements as we entered. We both had burgers: one chicken , one cheeseburger and they were excellent. Service from the chef and our waitress, Molly,was top notch. Friendly and helpful. Spent much longer there...

Popped into this pub for some lunch whilst exploring Buckingham town and had such a tasty meal in a safe and friendly environment. The staff were very welcoming and deal with social distancing superbly by getting you to scan a QR code to book your...

Stopped here after a visit to Stowe national trust and the staff were very welcoming and the food was excellent, had the chicken burger and I give it 5 stars Will definitely stop here again on our next visit to the area.

Good food and friendly service. New system handles the social distancing well keeping all patrons and staff safe. Food is good as always. Highly recommended for a social visit.

Have frequented this pub prior to moving to Buckingham but now I have moved to Buckingham this is my first choice of my local at this moment in time they run a strict Covid regime but doesn’t deter from the warming welcome you receive from the staff. Great pub

Checked out 'The King's Head', Buckingham recently? No? Then swiftly do so! Kelly and her team have transformed what used to be the fightingest pub in town into a cosy and welcoming Gin palace cum dining experience. Kelly's 'Long Island Ice Tea' is the best I have tasted this side of the Atlantic. The word 'chef' does not begin to describe Carl. His style is a fusion of Glaswegian flop-house with Neanderthal-chic. His signature pies 'n fries are to die for -or, at least, soon thereafter. (Just joshing, Carl, honest!). I heartily commend 'The King's Head' for its distinctive ambience wherein laid-back old Buckingham meets happenin' cosmopolitan sass.

We are blessed with a good selection of pubs, bars & restaurants in Buckingham but this is my out & out favourite. Whether I want coffee & cake, gourmet G&T or a pint & a tasty meal, The Kings Head has it all, with a warm welcome, comfy seating including snuggly sofas, and even a lovely sunny courtyard in the summer. Landlady Kelly is always welcoming & friendly, and she trains her staff to follow her lead. And the Gin Nights are legendary!

I have just had gammon, egg and chips. The gammon in particular was lovely and the portions were large. I sometimes have breakfast here which is always a treat. The staff are always friendly and the service excellent.

Simple well cooked pub grub, Carl the chef works within his capabilities and turns out good dishes some of which he makes from scratch come to the table and checks everything is ok. We are regulars attending music nights and other events, this pub is a credit to both the management and staff

Stopped here for a pit stop after arriving in the area. For lunch we both chose the jacket potato with prawns in cocktail sauce and a side salad. The prawns were very fresh and the meal was tasty. Ample for me but a bit small for the hubby who's a strapping builder. I had a gingerbread latte after which was like a pudding, topped with cream & chocolate. Very nice. The service of the bar staff was friendly and polite as was the guy who served us our food from the kitchen.

Fab place been before.. great food, fab warmth from landlady Kelly and lovely chef Karl.. awesome guys.. made a wet dull day much brighter.. thanks guys! X

Went in with a friend with the intention of only drinking, but we had the new menu with the small plates (which they had a deal on) which was amazing and ended up eating and staying the whole evening - totally recommend.

The landlady is exceptionally helpful and a complete range of great food and drink in a lovely pub is provided. If we lived in Buckingham it would be our local!

Popped in to Buckingham and found this gem by chance. Greeted by Ashley as we entered, lovely atmosphered pub feel venue but light and dog friendly! Extensive gin menu (which we didn’t sample), and a breakfast menu that delivers what it says. However, the quality was a surprise leading me to believe this is one of the best value breakfasts I ‘ve had in a long way. That, together with the excellent service from Ashley and co, made for an excellent visit.Thank you

Had some cocktails here with friends tonight, cocktails great and service even better! Absolutely recommend!

It's a few years since I've been here, how different it is now. The landlady is very pleasant, she is so friendly and it's so helpful. Good to see a town pub selling good real ales.

I have been to the Kings Head a few times for food and drink. Never disappointed good staff and service well worth a visit.

Stopped off in Buckingham en route home after a lengthy drive when hunger began to make itself felt.

We were in town and came in for a late lunch. Really impressed with the home cooked food. Chef delivered it to the table. Tomato and basil soup was fab and so was my wife's Moo Pie (steak and ale) with mash and gravy. Bar staff very friendly. We will be back

My family and I ended up here after the GPS messed up and sent us to the wrong address. But with a 1-year-old and a 7-year-old, we had to scramble to find a restaurant. We ended up here simply because it was the first place we saw and were pleasantly surprised. The food was priced a little high, but was really tasty. My husband and I had pies and our daughter had the kids sausage and mash. My son shared a little of everyone’s. They even had plastic cutlery for my toddler!

Having popped into town this morning for the Remembrance Parade, it was good to find The Kings Head offering breakfast. A lovely idea, helped make my day complete
