The Kings Head in North Kesteven

Best Sunday lunch that I’ve had for a long time. Individual gravy boats ,inspirational, with excellent tasting gravy. Ladies loved the desserts they had. I will be back.

Went to the Kings Head tonight and had a meal in the bar as it was dog friendly. My wife had scampi chips and salad where as I had the fish chips and mushy peas. We ate between 5pm and 6pm staff were pleasantly and friendly good value for money and enjoyable meal.

Food outstandingly good , especially as it is only a pub really so was amazed at how good and plentiful it was. Good choice of drinks and service fine till bill time, when paying individually was all too difficult .

We called here today for Sunday lunch a party of 9 it was amazing I think most of us has the roast dinner, it was delicious the meat was so tender everything was well cooked and so tasty.The staff were really good nothing was too much trouble for them, the food came to us piping hot with plenty of veg and gravy it was amazing.This is a lovely place to meet with my family as they live in Nottingham Horncastle Lincoln and Woodhall Spa so a good meeting up place.The pub was lovely and warm a very friendly pub that serves great food waited on by lovely staffThankyou and a special thank you to your chefs.We will be back in the new year.

A few of us went for a birthday meal.The service was efficient and the staff were friendly.The roast dinners were a bit disappointing as we were expecting real roast potatoes but they were the frozen ones.The pie was nice but wasn’t an individual one, it was a slice that had been heated up in a microwave so the pastry wasn’t the same but it was nice and full of meat.

For my husbands birthday we wanted to try somewhere new and we’re recommended this pub by a colleague. From the moment I booked I had high hopes because the lady on the phone was so polite and friendly, she asked which area we wanted to sit in and when I said we’d not been before she told me she would put us by the window on one of the best tables in the restaurant. I had high hopes that we would enjoy our visit and honestly I can’t speak highly enough of it. When we arrived the car park was ample and we went to the bar and said we’d not been before, greeted by a gentleman who took us through to our table and took our drink order straight away. We were given time to peruse the menu and a lady who was leaving suggested the chicken strips were incredible. Looking at the menu the light bits would be nice to see in the evenings and we couldn’t find the chicken strips but then spotted a specials menu which was just out of sight. I ordered the chicken strips which were not strips at all but giant battered chicken and my husband had the crab linguine, both were huge portions, very generous. We also spotted other diners meals and must say the steaks look incredible. Our food we could not fault, the staff were attentive and the venue itself is quaint and a welcome change from busy, loud venues. I had to take some food home and didn’t have a pudding but we’re told we could take away which we would do next time. When we left we were thanked for visiting and certainly would visit again. It really did feel like such a special evening and we can’t wait to return and bring the family!

Had a lovely meal, but sadly couldn't finish it as portions were so big. Delicious though, arancini risotto balls and a seafood linguine. Staff very friendly and covid safe. Excellent evening and will return.

This pub is an a la carte restaurant in disguise. It looks and feels like a well kept and clean put. But the food was a la carte restaurant level. Very helpful and polite staff, that give a higher level of service. In the words of Arnie … ‘I’ll be back’

Visited for Sunday lunch, we both had roast beef and it was a very nice meal. Came out piping hot on warm plates, portions were great and staff very friendly. We asked for an additional gravy boar which they soon brought out. Decor is traditional and atmosphere pleasant.

Good covid rules in place,had 2 course lunch.Roast Beef excellant and chocolate and Ginger cheesecake a delight.my wife enjoyed her scampi too Good atmosphere and service made for a lovely afternoon

We tried this place for a Friday night treat and to be honest was a little disappointed.We had starters and mains,the portions where of a good size and well presented. The monkfish was a little bland and partners steak was OK. All in all not a bad place to eat but very expensive 2 starters 2 mains 2 pints and a j2o nearly £75

Visited here recently with family. Was spacious with nice food. Good menu choice with friendly staff. Excellent service with good size portions. Would recommend this place for good pub food.

We visited the Kings Head which recently reopened post Covid closure.I have to say it was it’s usual fabulous food and service. There is a one way entry through the back near the car park. Exit out the front near the road. Details taken on entry and sanitiser provided. We ate in the restaurant. There were a couple of tables with sanitiser on and taped off so you cannot sit there as they are too close to each other. No table cloths or cutlery on the tables. The cutlery is brought to the table with your meal. We had a roast beef and roast lamb dinner. Very good and still served with the vegetables in a separate dish. We had gluten free jam sponge and custard for pudding. It was delicious. Even the other half who usually will not eat anything gluten free couldn’t tell it was.It was a very pleasant and welcome experience after being closed for so long. We are booked in again for this week!

We Had a great night in the main restaurant, we had a drink in the bar side which was a little busy but we were acknowledged & served some drinks , a lot of people eating in the bar restaurant too which looked equally good . A lively local pub .The restaurant was full & although the starter of my choice wasn’t available I had the beer battered goats cheese which was delicious, followed by a perfectly cooked (to my taste )fillet steak. We also had the haggis fillet which was equally cooked to perfection. We thought the portions were large for us & a lot of salad piled on the starters - it was wasted on the starters , perhaps a smaller sized salad maybe softer lighting would make this even better for a night out. We will definitely be returning to try the desserts. Staff all friendly & look forward to trying the weekly event specials.

This was our first visit to The Kings Head, the welcome and atmosphere was lovely. The Timothy Taylor was enjoyed by my husband and I, as designated driver was on Diet Coke. We shared the starter, which was delicious and plentiful, it would probably be enough for 2 for lunch! The main course and desserts were also delicious, the service was good. If anything the service could have been better and for this the review would have been a 5!! We would definitely go again but it’s not a budget night out, our bill was just over £100.

We came last night for a family meal. It’s was absolutely fantastic in every way. The food was just beautiful, large portions, the steak was cooked to exactly how we asked for it. Even the children’s portions were large. The staff were lovely and so friendly. We will definitely be recommending you to other people. We can’t wait to return.

After recently going vegetarian I have really struggled with finding restaurants that offer more than one option so when I came across this menu I was ecstatic. I had the broccoli and Stilton soup which was lovely but I was left disappointed after ordering the pasta tagliatelle. The pasta was described as ‘slow roasted tomato and vegetable sauce served with garlic bread and Parmesan’ if I had to describe it, it would be ‘pasta with tin tomatoes and garlic bread from the co op’. It was so bland and completely tasteless, the staff were extremely apologetic and took the order off the bill however I would now definitely reconsider eating here again. If you do eat here, choose wisely.

2 years since my last review,sticking to what I wrote 2 years ago,excellent,ribeye steak fantastic,food and portions excellent desserts beautiful and presentation is art work in its self,parking wheelchair access wonderful cosy country pub,not be disappointed..We dine here at least once a month either lunch or evening meals a must

Myself and my husband went here for our anniversary meal one evening. On first impressions, the bar/restaurant looked clean with a friendly atmosphere and lovely, homely decor. The menu was very broad with options for everyone. The service was fast and professional and the food came in good time and was lovely and hot. For taste, the food is without fault and the evening in general was lovely however, meals are slightly on the pricey side for what it is. After all, it is just pub grub and the food and menu reflect that, the price however does not. Overall, a nice evening but expensive for what it is. Probably wouldn’t go back as it’s nothing special for what we paid.

The staff were friendly. The menu has a good choice and some specials were available too. The scampi came with homemade chips but both could have been cooked a little longer. The salad was a nice change from the usual peas. The wine was of good quality. Would go again.

Service very good, menu plenty to choose from, atmosphere cosy. Easy parking at the rear of the Restaurant.

We visited this pub on a Sunday at a non-peak time, the rooms were not too full and yet the service was excruciatingly slow. It took over an hour for two courses. Our food was very average. I would not recommend this pub.

The food was amazing ! It was beautifully presented, tasty and good portions.. The service was excellent and as it was a birthday lunch the table was decorated with balloons, ribbons and lovely sash for the birthday girl who was 70! Well done to the staff. Thank you

Since moving to Lincoln about 18 months ago, this pub is a favourite especially as it has a nice cosy restaurant, serving delicious food by very friendly and helpful staff.

Cosy village pub with a good menu. We decided to have the Sunday roast. We were shown to our table quite quickly and we weren’t kept waiting too long for the main course. The main observation was that in our opinion there wasn’t much seasoning on the food and it tasted a bit bland. I had the roast pork and was disappointed with the two tiny pieces of crackling. We then had desserts, 3 cold and 1 hot, and they obviously forgot about the hot one as we were waiting ages and eventually had to ask, plus one of the cold ones came with ice cream instead of cream but that was quickly sorted. After dessert we were just left there at the table and we had to actively find someone to ask for coffee, the same when we wanted to pay. Overall an ok meal but more attention needed.

Lovely.... Brilliant service made very welcome, and the food is lovely plenty of it fresh and hot ...

Taken my family hear for lunch, very nice meal, lady on the bar was very polite, we would definitely go back again

We managed to get a table in the bar at short notice for 7.15pm on a Saturday evening - quite happy eating in the bar.

Came here for a family meal the table was booked and some of the party arrived early the rest of the party arrived on time said hello and then went to get drinks where the bar staff we’re talking about us saying we had been sat here long enough and he hoped we was ready to order ... but in a rider manner .... it was 10 minutes after the table was booked for.

This was a late Fathers Day Treat, 3 fathers in the party, we were seated in the snug, which suited us perfectly as we had a 2 year old with us. However a very good 2 year old. The service was very quick and the portion sizes enormous, maybe too big.!! . I can never eat the amount of chips that are put on your plate and I hate to see so much food going back to the kitchen. Maybe a dish of chips between 2/4 with the option of more if necessary. That aside, the meals were all lovely, all eight of us were very impressed. My grand daughter managed a starter, main and dessert, where she put it I don't know. She then cycled back to her home in North Hykeham. It really was a very pleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon, our 2 year old summed it up whilst tucking into her pasta - Yum, yum.

We were a party of 3 seniors with a large labrador dog and were made to feel very welcome. We arrived early and were given choice of tables in the "snug" and the dog came too.Service was excellent and good choice of menu.

We stopped off here and were glad we had. The food was amazing. We were very satisfied. The ribs and steak were really good. It is a bit pricey, but we were impressed. The staff were perfectly nice too.

Visited here for an anniversary treat from the in laws. We all choice different from the menus and overall the food was very good. The only let downs of the night was the monk fish, which was chewy and the sticky toffee pudding which was more of a sponge and didn't have enough toffee sauce. Other than that, the food was very tasty, flavourful and the portions were huge. Would highly recommend the halloumi fries, flat iron steak and pavlova.

We ate here on a Sunday lunchtime. Unfortunately the staff were pretty disinterested in us and did not make us feel welcomed in any way. The food was ok, reasonably tasty and varied, but at the price they charge, it needs to be better than ok. We also asked for a jug of water, unfortunately the glasses that came with it looked pretty grubby, so we had to give them a bit of a clean with the serviettes.

Food was lovely, we had a steak and chips as well as the halloumi burger. Cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. Desserts were tasty and well made. Had a lovely meal here and would definitely come again. The restaurant is in a separate area to the pub so is quieter.

After a lot of recommendations and having tried to book three times we finally got here. The welcome was luke warm and we were shown through (sort of) to the very bright restaurant, it didn't feel atmospheric or cosy. Our drinks order was taken quickly and we were given our menus. The order was taken quickly and our starters arrived very fast. As soon as our cutlery was set down our table was cleared and our mains arrived. The food was tasty but almost felt microwaved and grilled as it came so fast. We hadn't quite finished when that course was also cleared. From arriving to the bill being given was all within an hour, it wasn't conducive to a leisurely evening. We paid the bill and headed home a little disappointed. Clearly, it is popular as it was busy but it didn't work for me , it just all seemed too rushed.

We booked a table for 8 people and had a marvellous night. The service was efficient with drinks at the begining quickly served and our orders taken. A wide menu of local foods too, so we had a super meal. Nothing was too much trouble, checking for allergies and choices. The food was great and we will go again

A family birthday meal for 4 generations was booked in advance. Quiet restaurant on arrival so we’re quickly served with drinks and our orders placed. Good selection on the menu and the specials board. Main courses were very good with good sized portions - even for a teenager with hollow legs! Desserts from the board gave a good selection and we all chose something different and all voted them excellent - especially the monster Oreo cheesecake. Busy when we left so this is a popular place to eat.

We came for Sunday lunch and it was fabulous! Great food and service...nice ambiance. More than enough food at a reasonable price.

I booked a table at short notice and the staff were very apologetic when we arrived as they had put us in the bar as restaurant was full. No worries there as it had a lovely atmosphere. We all ordered off the lunchtime menu which was available until 6 00. We ordered 4 different meals and they were all excellent, beautifully presented and all tasted fab. The portions are large so there was no room for a dessert this time. But we will be back.

We had lovely lunch there was 15 of us the food was served on nice hot plates all the meals were tasty and well presented. I was really impressed when I ask for fruit salad though it on the menu, the waiter could not have been more helpful and polite my fruit salad was lovely. Thanks everyone at the Kings Head we all had a lovely time .

My daughter and myself were visiting my sister and brother in law and they took us to the Kings Head on Sunday evening.

Visited with family (4 of us). Staff were very friendly and the restaurant was clean and tidy. However the food was poor, bland and overcooked steaks. The prices were very steep for poorly cooked pub grub. I can safely say they won't be seeing me again anytime soon.

Vine aquí para cenar una noche. Tuve un souffl de queso que estaba bien, aunque era casi 10 para un entrante. Luego tuve el venado como plato principal.

Had a lovely lunch with my mum bar lady very nice a friendly service very good food was well presented and very good toilets nice and clean as well as pub dog allowed in bar area good selection of wines and gins

Encontré esto cuando te quedas localmente en un BNB. Vino a cenar y siendo los únicos comensales del restaurante.

Hicimos una parada el sábado en el camino a casa y fue un grupo de 6. Reservamos y nos dijeron que la zona del bar estaba disponible. El menú y los tableros especiales tienen una gran selección para elegir. Como llevábamos a los niños con nosotros, les preguntamos si sus comidas podían llegar con nuestros Entrantes, lo cual no fue un problema. El pub no ofrece un menú para niños, pero explicó que se adaptarán a cualquier cosa que les guste a los niños. Tuvimos un carnicero [este último para compartir para 4 adultos y fue suficiente. Las comidas principales llegan y lo primero que te golpea es el tamaño de cada comida, enorme y picante. Todos los platos diferentes que todos probamos unos a otros. Comida increíble y tal vez no podría haber tenido el primer plato, ya que luchó para terminar nuestras comidas. Los precios reflejaron los ingredientes frescos utilizados, así que la relación calidad-precio.

Vine aquí para cenar con mi madre y qué hallazgo. . . . Ambos teníamos Chicken Leek y Stilton pie. . . . absolutamente delicioso. Las raciones son generosas con verduras frescas y una rica y espesa salsa. Pude haber lamido mi plato limpio. Para el postre tuve crema, mi madre tenía naranja y jengibre poco rico y cremoso como deben ser los postres. Comimos en el bar, lo que quizás podría hacer con una actualización, pero estoy siendo delicado. Definitivamente lo recomendaría y definitivamente regresaría.

A friend booked this pub for friendly catch up and dinner mid week. As I parked in the rear car park I had the feeling that this was going to be a nice place to eat. Clean and tidy beer garden and a classic bar feeling. The Tuesday night special was Homemade pie , I highly recommended this . The dessert menu again was all homemade and looked and tasted great .

Ate in main dining room.nice atmosphere.loved my smoked salmon starter.mains all cooked well ample portions of beef lamb turkey other dish chosen was scampi which was also enjoyed.dessert of sticky toffee pudding trifle & creme brule all good.all in all great value & tasty food will visit again

We booked for Sunday lunch yesterday and managed to get a table in the bar (which we prefer). I had the roast beef which was delicious and my companion had the vegetarian option which he enjoyed. This is one of our favourite places for sunday lunch, our daughter always has the steak and ale pie and is never disappointed.

Visited with two friends. Rang up on Sunday morning; could only get a Table in Bar, but to be honest there were only people eating so it wasn't an issue.

Sunday night visit for my husband's birthday. Food was lovely again, particularly the seafood starter for two. Friendly and welcoming service. Ate in the bar which was absolutely fine. Everyone was eating so we didn't need the restaurant. Thank you, King's Head for a lovely evening.

We ordered our drinks and asked about eating, the drinks were poured before being told we couldn’t be served food but locals after us were given menu’s and allowed to order. Will find somewhere else next time!

We visited The King’s Head and had a wonderful evening.

What a change. Once regarded as an outstanding pub with excellent food, it has tried to become a something its not. Ate there tonight, and the food was well below standard. The starter on the steak night special as either mushrooms , mushroom soup or prawns. The prawns were excessively greasy, and the main consisted of a steak ( which only one of four needed to be redone) and reheated greasy chips and onion rings that was batter only and no onion. Very poor. At least 2 of our meals were discounted.

From the moment my friend and I walked into the Kings Head, we were made to feel welcome. What a delight to see a menu with fewer than 20 starters and fewer than 20 main courses!

We joined our friend who lives in the village, for an evening celebratory meal. The menu and specials presented a varied selection, and when served everyone was delighted with their choice of food. The food was freshly cooked, very hot and extremely tasty. The deserts were also delightful.

Although this is a pub in a village location, and we are not from the village, we were made to feel very welcome by very friendly, accommodating and helpful staff. Food was served hot and there was not a long wait. Nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely go again.

we went here recommended by our hotel and were not disappointed the selection was quite large and the portions were large freshly cooked to order and served to your table promptly and politely

On our way home from Lincoln and stopped at this pub for lunch. All I can say food was amazing. The whole meal was home cooked to perfection. We will without a doubt be visiting again. Staff friendly.

We decided to give this pud restaurant a try and I can say we where very impressed with the food, the portion sizes and the quality of the food outstanding, I would honestly say the best food for miles and we will be back.

.Visited here this afternoon (Sunday) in the hope of getting a meal. After a pleasant greeting we were handed menus from which to choose. Easier said than done as food is home cooked & extremely delicious. Finally we decided on Gammon for Sir & Pork Loin for myself. It was fortunate we were both hungry as the portions were generous to say the least & both meals very tasty indeed. We were both full really but having seen the deserts being delivered elsewhere forced ourselves to taste them choosing Brioche Bread & Butter pudding & Tiramisu. Both far superior to the frozen products many places serve. The place is clean & friendly with very pleasant staff. All in all a happy & delicious meal.

The food at this place is first class, you must try their fish and chips. More expensive than your average pub but goodness it is worth it. Freshly cooked delicious food.

from the moment we entered the building, the staff were attentive , polite and professional. There was plenty of choice on the menu , the soup was vegetable , a little peppery but very nice served with a warm small loaf. The mains of turkey , beef and pork were all beautifully cooked , tasty , lean and in plentiful supply.They were accompanied by roast potatoes , stuffing , pigs in blankets , yorks pudding and gravy.Then came sides of mixed vegetables with more potatoes. All piping hot and very tasty.

Four of us visited today for lunch, not having been before. What lovely food and service. Three of us had pies, the meat was tender and the generous portions were cut from a larger pie. The fourth was the vegetarian tart with goats cheese..another winner! The vegetables and new potatoes were perfectly cooked and presented, the chips amazing, and some of the best gravy we have had! We were too full to try a pudding, but the beer was excellent. We will definitely visit again. We don't live in the village but it was worth travelling.

Went on the Wednesday get the scheapest meal free and was not dissappointed other than it was thought the duck was a bit short on portion size for the price.

On the way back from Peterborough we wanted some where for Sunday Lunch and we were recommended The Kings Head Navenby and we were not disappointed.

excellent food large meals all homecooked,friendly and helpful staff lovely traditional dining area value for money would recommend

Overall not bad, but considering the price bracket they have put themselves in I think they need a bit of a rethink. 8 of us visited recently and we were all of the same opinion, food is ok but you can certainly get better around Lincoln at these prices. Service is pretty good, although the lady who I think was in charge, and serving needs to learn some things from the younger ones around her, things like smiling and friendliness. I don't think any of us visiting would visit again considering what else is around in this price bracket. Overall not a bad experience but it's just not really as special a place as it likes to think, and they maybe ought to consider lowering prices or raising their game.

Had a fabulous festive lunch today, the food was first class and service excellent, couldn’t have wished for anything more .

A group of friends and I are regulars at the Monday night pub quiz at the Kings Head, and more often than not end up having a meal as the food there is excellent. The environment is cosy and convivial, with a number of smaller rooms situated around the main bar. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, just as a typical English village pub should be. The Monday night quiz is well organised and great fun, and the £1.50 per person entry includes sandwiches and French fries at the end of the quiz.

Excellent food, service. Good choice on menu makes it hard to decide what to have. Make sure you book a...

My adult children took me as a birthday treat. Loved it. Was a real shame that who ever answered the...

Nice and clean with a cosy atmosphere.

Been here a few times. And while the food as good and plentiful. They don’t offer a children’s menu. So kids have to order off full menu so the portions are way too big and way too expensive for a child. And staff can’t even really shrink portions to suit. So even a burger is a 1/2lb with chips way way way too big for a child. Disappointing really

I have used this Pub many times for meals. The food is always good. In my opinion, there Steak & Kidney pie is one of the best I have tasted.

Both food and service were excellent. My aged aunt (97) got just what she wanted with a starter and the "steak and kidney pie" main was very good indeed. The vegetables were freshly cooked and the service attentive. Good value for money.

We visited the king's head tonight as we are looking to move near sir William Robertson academy, so I suggest to my husband that we should try the village pubs in the area and see which we prefer as this will help us choose the right village for us. We've been to a few village pubs in the area over the past few weeks and after visiting the king's head it pretty much made the decision for us! The staff were really friendly and nothing was to much trouble for them. A couple of the other pubs we visited made us feel like we didn't belong as "we weren't from the village" but definitely weren't made to feel like that at all. We were made to feel like regulars which was lovely. Now for the food...... All we can say is AMAZING. So much so that we had 3 courses. My husband had garlic mushrooms followed by belly pork of which he said it's the best he's ever had and then homemade brownie. I had goats cheese, duck and homemade chocolate orange cheesecake which was devine! Best of all was the main course was get the cheapest one free so we only paid for one main! We will certainly become regulars here . Thank you

A cold and wet day, just right for a warming meal. We went on the recommendation of a friend and were very pleased that we did. We received a warm, friendly welcome, drank a satisfying pint then indulged in an excellent meal from the bar menu. The restaurant offers many other options, which looked very promising. We shall return.

Popped in here for a drink only but it seemed a fairly average pub with rather uninspiring surroundings particularly in the bar. Restaurant looked a little more interesting. Glanced at a menu which appeared to be standard pub food, not too badly priced. From those eating near us portions looked generous though we did overhear a couple who didn't seem too impressed by the greasy nature of their food. I wouldn't rush back here but nor would I avoid it. It could do with a bigger car park too as there were no spaces despite it not being especially busy inside.

We visited the Kings Head last night for a meal with friends. We were greeted well, served with drinks and given time to sit and study the comprehensive menus. The service was friendly and efficient from all staff without being intrusive. The food was cooked perfectly and very tasty. Did we have room for desert? Not really, but we tried one anyway, and were not disappointed with the quality, or the quantity which sometimes lets eating establishments down. Although food at the Kings Head is marginally more expensive than some other local pubs, it's well worth spending that little bit more for this kind of quality. Superb!

Having been here in 2011 we decided it was time to make a return visit! We chose the same sandwiches; Ham on Wholemeal accompanied by Salad, Coleslaw and Chips. They were delicious and the pint of Black Sheep went down a treat! The other members of our family were just as impressed on their first visit.

A warm welcome awaited us. The staff were very friendly . A varied menu. The food was excellent and plentiful. I would find it hard to better the service and food here.

I have reviewed for this restaurant before, and that's why we keep going back. Food was superb as always, service was great & friendly too.

Been here before and have to say excellent service superb food and pleasant and comfortable surroundings. I would highly recommend eating here. Excellent all round.

Met friends we had not seen for a while and they had booked this pub for a sunday lunch / meal.The pub is in a nice little village. Plenty of parking at the rear of the pub and a small garden to sit in for drinks if you are so inclined.The pub was clean and the decor typical for a country pub. Drinks selection adequate.Beer was very nice. Restaurant nicely situated away from the bar area in a seperate room. All nice and clean. Service and staff excellent. Prices about average for such places. Food nicely presented and very good quality. All in all a nice place to go too.Go again- yep look forward to it.

Brilliant quality cooking , beautifully presented , delicious food. Lovely garden children enjoyed it. Chicken and stilton pie was immense. Staff very friendly and professional. Cannot wait to go again. No wonder its always busy!!

We had lunch here during a cycling sortie ... great beer, food, service, price and friendly staff. An extensive menu of good quality pub grub at a responsible price.

Four of us visited on a Saturday evening. The restaurant was probably just under half full but we were given a table within inches of the door. We asked to move and were told that all the others were reserved but with some reluctance and after some staff discussion we were allocated a table at the back which was ok although the chairs from the adjoining table were were virtually touching ours. We found it very frustrating that clearly they could have given us a better table as quite a few tables were not occupied all evening.You don't get a second chance to make a first impression and I am afraid that feeling stayed with us despite a nice meal. The seafood sharing platter for two was very well received and there was enough for four of us. The pork medallions were deemed to be slightly overcooked but we did like our 4 individual vegetable dishes. Desserts were good as was the wine.Overall a nice meal but not cheap but quite simply they badly let themselves down on the lack of flexibility and common sense re our table allocation. If I could, I would mark them 4* for the meal but 2* for the service

First time visit the the Kings Head for Sunday lunch. We had the Lamb Shank and Belly Pork with black pudding, served with lovely vegetables. The service was great the food piping hot and well worth a visit. The staff were so very pleasant and made lunch a very enjoyable experience.

Almost forgot the Xmas lunch we had here in December! Although it was booked well in advance (and meal choices already made) I was disappointed to be seated in the overflow back bar rather than the restaurant proper making us feel a little forgotten about. The pate starter seemed too soft and not chilled enough to me, as if it had been out of the fridge for too long. The turkey main was like a ready meal really with packet stuffing and 'plastic' meat. I seem to remember it was around £24 and I was left feeling very unimpressed.

We went for a family meal here with a party of 7 and were quickly sat. Service was fast and friendly and the food came out perfect. We've always been very impressed with the food here as well as the warm atmosphere. It's not particularly big inside but it doesn't feel cramped and has a small room in the back for larger parties.It's not cheap but it's definitely worth the price you pay for fresh delicious food. Would always recommend the monkfish!

4 of us went here for lunch, we sat in the pub side, not in the restaurant. The food was really tasty.. I had the fish and chip, 'real' chips, which are hard to find these days! Also a big piece of fish, very nice. The desserts looked amazing, a bit choice of homemade ones, we were just too full, and needed to continue with our hike! Will definitely be going back.

Visited here with two friends. We have not been to the Kings Head for a while but we were absolutely delighted with what we discovered. The food was excellent, the service was friendly and fast. It was lovely to see a properly set out table with wine glasses white table cloths etc. I can thoroughly recommend this restaurant to everyone.

My wife and I popped in here for an evening meal. A few gluten free choices for main and dessert meant we had two courses. Food very plentiful, hot and tasty. Puds delicious. All in all very good. £43 for two excluding drinks so isn't cheap but is good.

We have never had a bad meal here. The dining room is well laid out, white tablecloths (what a treat) and friendly staff. The food is reliably good, with fair sized portions. There is plenty of choice although the menu doesn't change, but all is cooked on the premises. Good car park at the back.

Menu was varied ,something to please everyone.Food was well cooked and presented.Staff were efficient and friendly

Have just returned from a late lunch, and found the place to be way above itself, trying to be something they are not. Its a village pub at the end of the day but the prices are extortionate, £8 for a sandwich consisting of 4 triangles??? we ate in the dining room and picked off the menu, we were told we couldn't choose off the bar menu, unless we sat in the bar!! I had the chickens strips, all be it nice and the batter light and crispy but £16 for 4 strips with a salad garnish and few chips? its chicken & chips!!! everyone enjoyed the food, but I wouldn't return on principle, the food just isn't worth the amount they charge,

What a terrible meal had by all here. Treated our grandchildren out for lunch boxing day this year, and have been here in the past, but today was especially poor. The service was not hurried in fact I think they forgot about most of the customers in the last session!! Won't be seeing us again!!
