The Kings Head in Derbyshire Dales

Very friendly and welcoming village pub with great food.

Excellent meal and well priced. Made to feel very welcome. Cosy atmosphere and regulars were very friendly. Andy and Sam are special people. A credit to the business. 👍👍👍

Lovely pub, great food and great staff. Everyone was friendly and it was a nice, easy going atmosphere. The prices were great compared to what we normally pay here in the states and the food was well worth it. We would def go back again.

Great valued food. Huge portions. Friendly pub.

We had some really nice and well priced food and drink here today

Went for Christmas Dinner, absolutely fantastic food, really nice place with a good atmosphere. Very good value for money, we will be definitely going again.

Great pub, land lady and landlord are very friendly, great selection of beers, ciders, wine and cocktails! Pizza's are so tasty, especially the calzon! Love the fact you can take them to go too! Fantastic dog friendly pub

What can I say about this little gem of a pub,the food is all delicious very good portions and tasty.everything bought is local products,we was staying in the village for a month on work business and we went though the menu and can honestly recommend this pub not just for the delicious food but all the different ales/ciders/beers plus the added bonus of the very warm welcome sam and Andy show you, plus every local has a warm welcome for you and will always happy to chat.well worth the visit if your passing though or staying in bonsall or surrounding area,

No waiting although advisable to book ahead as it can be busy some evenings Good range of food, excellent service Bar has plenty of beer/lager selections and reasonably priced Parking can be an issue as there is no car park so you park as close as possible Clean, cosy and a typical village pub, just note the opening hours Big bonus was it was dog friendly 👍 Worth a visit if in the area

Lovely little pub in the middle of a lovely picturesque village. The staff team were really friendly and welcoming and the food was simple, straightforward and excellent. Lovely pint to wash it all down

A really nice atmosphere, great food (home cooked meals meets ‘proper chef’) and friendly service. We spent three consecutive evenings here on our holiday!

Great pub. Very friendly and welcoming. We had a takeaway and it was piping hot, ready on time, delicious and great value for money. The land lady was very welcoming and helpful too. We run 4 holiday cottages in the village (chestnut farm holiday cottages) and we will be recommending the pub and its services to all our guests. We will be back! Many thanks :) Liz

Myself, fiancé and little dog visited on a Friday evening. The landlady and all staff were very friendly. Food was okay, good portions and lots of choice!

Lovely friendly pub with great atmosphere. We booked in for Sunday lunch. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We asked for a small portion (good to have the option!) and were not disappointed! Plenty of veg and potatoes, and puddings were lovely. Overall a very pleasant experience.

Very friendly owners, the locals were chatty and the food was delicious.

Popped in for a drink while dog walking. Friendly staff & locals. Dogs welcome. Traditional village pub

Great pub, good food, lovely village to walk around, check out the church up the hill. Friendly staff. Dog friendly.

Great food and beer. Warm, welcoming pub. Can't wait to nip back

Visited for a family dinner. Small local pub, but felt welcomed from the start. For a small pub, large menu choice. Portions were large, good quality and value. Landlady was very accommodating, even let our boys pick a TV channel I the restaurant. It’s was quieter at that point, so don’t panic! Nice find and would certainly recommend. Thank you!

What a gem of a pub, good beer, fabulous value for money food and friendly atmosphere . The staff were very kind and were happy to upsize a kids meal for our fussy 13 year old!

First thing was the really friendly staff, giving a great welcome. Family meal with a decent choice of beers, the Bateman XB was very nice. Food wise, I had an excellent Lamb and Mint Pie with really tasty mash. Rest of the family very pleased with their choices too. We will be back!

Reluctantly can only give 3 stars. The service was friendly, efficient and we didn't wait long for food. Portions were good and £5 for children's meals and £4 desserts were great value. But the quality of the two mains (steak and battered cod) was well below standard unfortunately.

Tasty food and large portions. Staff were friendly and reasonably quick service.

This gorgeous little village pub is absolutely perfect. I wandered in, on my own, on the off chance of a vegetarian meal, and was treated to a full blown Sunday lunch. The staff are really friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the food is top notch (the portion sizes are insane!) I loved it and will definitely be popping in again soon. We need to cherish places like this and I intend to show my support.

Popped in here for the first time on Sunday after a walk. It was lovely and quiet, and they were advertising Sunday lunches, so I asked if they did a veggie option. Sure enough they did, so I ordered the 'small' option for £6.95 which wasn't small at all! It was a normal size Sunday lunch and it was absolutely delicious. BEST VALUE EVER!! The nut cutlet was actually like a rice/nut patty that had been fried off until it had gone crunchy round the edges - it was REALLY nice and very filling. I've struggled to find good vegetarian comfort food since I moved here - so this will definitely be getting a return visit. Welcoming and friendly, in a gorgeous little village. Instant fave!

Fantastic pizzas! Lovely, friendly pub in a great village. We'll be back next time we come on holiday to the Peak District.

Superb family run food with wonderful food. Outdoor seating both front and rear - favourite with walkers.

Booked a table here for a evening meal on a bank holiday weekend. Lovely welcome from the landlady, proper traditional pub food and nice and quick service. Well worth a visit.

Five of us had dinner in here on Friday 5th May and the food was gorgeous. We had pies, steaks and they were all superb. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the portions were very generous. Thankyou for a lovely evening Regards Rob, Jackie, Colin Jill +Abbie + Vader the flat coated retriever. XX

Lovely classic pub food and very friendly staff!

Visited whilst on holiday. Brilliant pub, Charlotte (barmaid) made us feel so welcome, great customer service can’t fault anything. Large selection of drinks, reasonable price with real fire. Our dog Kevin loved all the attention from locals and Charlotte. Highly recommend.

Best bitter was the best I have ever had, in such a welcoming pub

Lovely village pub. Staff were so friendly and the food was delicious

Lovely village pub, good food, large portions. Friendly staff.

Great Sunday dinner, very friendly

Friendly staff, wonderful food 👍

Nice village pub serving great food and drink with warm atmosphere.

Popped in here with my son, very welcoming.

We turned up on steak night ( tonight) & had T bone steak & a fillet steak . Cooked to exactly how we asked & also the staff were wonderful & booked us a taxi home . Really appreciate the values that the staff feel important & would recommend the pub certainly. Thank you , what a lovely pub & the locals were equally lovely !!

This is a good pub in a lovely village. Nice selection of ales, good atmosphere and the staff are a joy, very friendly. The Sunday roast isn't the best we've had, the roast potatoes were aunt Bessie's type things and the Yorkshire puddings weren't homemade. Plenty of peas, carrots and cabbage though. Bit more effort on the roast and it'd be five stars from me.

Warm, welcoming, and lovely atmosphere, wine nice too.

We were staying about 8 minutes walk from here and thought we would pop in for a meal on a Tuesday night but unfortunately they didn't serve food on a Tuesday. The specials board looked so good that we returned the next evening and I had the Steak & kidney pudding chips and peas.....monster portion that I couldn't finish but absolutely gorgeous. My wife had the Chicken, ham hock and leek pie...same story...lovely. Very dog friendly and the lady behind the bar was very smiley and helpful. Loved the feel to the pub...they had a TV in the bar area, I'm not a fan but at least it had music on. Great proper English feel to the place and well frequented by the locals who seemed to love the food as well..Great price too. Nice decor...loved the domino clock.

Great place for food and drink and football and darts Great service Great staff

Very friendly pub good food well kept beer good hosts and locals good old world charm

A truly great local pub, great atmosphere, great food and of course great drinks!

We got a very warm welcome from the staff – and from the cheerful locals who were packing this proper country pub. There was a good selection of drinks – including some very unusual gins. The food was fantastic – particularly the root vegetable pie and the veggie tagine. The pizza we went for on our second visit was also pretty spectacular. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favour and head for The King’s Head.

Nice place with local beers, good good as well

Absolutely amazing freshly cooked meals, great value, brilliant service. Beer top notch. Landlord and Landlady wonderful welcoming hosts. Hidden away in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside, this is a traditional pub in an older worlde village.

Thank you for fitting us in at short notice been a while since our last visit. Friendly welcome always great food at a great price hope to be back soon

Friendly welcoming pub. Cider on tap

Amazing food,great Landlady,such a friendly pub,warm and welcoming! The best Chilli i have ever had,friends had steak pie with proper pastry!

The food was good and the staff very friendly. A lovely little pub. I wasn't very well and got worse as the evening went on. I knew I wouldn't have been able to walk back. My daughter had parked her car at the B and B and there were no taxis to be had. The lovely lady behind the bar very kindly offered us a lift. I am so grateful and would like to thank her again. I really don't know how I'd have gone on without her help.

The food was amazing!! The staff were polite and chatty and the larger was clear and crisp. The facilities were clean too. The pub was busy as there was a party but the locals were friendly and chatty too. Definitely recommend a visit if your...

There were 10 in our party and we were very well looked after by the friendly and conscientious staff. The food was served quickly and was delicious. Lovely atmosphere, highly recommended.

We visited the the Kings Head while staying in Bonsall for the week. The menu had a classic selection along with the beers on draft. The Kings Head staff were more than helpful. We'd recommend a visit while your in the area .

Whilst staying in the area we ate at The Kings Head. A couple of local gents said hello to us on our way in. On entering the pub we were welcomed by two friendly lady’s. We were told we could choose a table. We sat...

Great carvery and friendly staff

Good food at reasonable price, friendly staff. Prompt service. Good selection indoor tables and Beer garden . Book on Saturday as gets busy. Small car park opposite. However we walked as staying locally. There is a car park near the children's playground which is only a short 5 min walk up the hill to the pub at the very most . As the road is quite narrow in places. Worth it in my opinion. Husband loved the ribs , the beer battered cod fresh and good range of toppings for the pizzas . All good. Would recommend if you in the area.

If you want a pub where you can come back to again and again this is it, a bit out of the way but only 10 minutes from Cromford by car the owners are fantastic and so is the food,we will be going again very soon and many more times after that.This place is a MUST.

Great village pub with friendly folks

What a place,the food was really really good and the price was so cheap for what you got,the landlord and his staff were really nice too 👍 we're definitely going back there again

Great and friendly staff and atmosphere, amazing food and such good value for money! Definitely recommend!

Came across this small village Inn in the little village of Bonsall Derbyshire. Serving the Delicious Bateman's beer from Skegness. Fantastic find. 👍🏻

Great drinks and very friendly staff and locals.

Great village pub. Excellent food and very generous with portions. Really enjoyed their hospitality. Will definitely visit this establishment again when I next come for a weekend break.

Pleasant enough but food a bit disappointing

Can't fault it, genuinely warm welcome great quality food and reasonable price in a comfortable pub . Lots of local walks with views.

Friendly , great food and drinks

Great friendly pub with great food & beer, dogs welcome too 👍👍

Generally good lunch (for 6, all ages) but, having used Tripadvisor to choose, it didn't meet expectations. Three of us had the fish and chips and two of us thought it was OK (just) as it was a bit "wet". The third one stopped eating...

Fantastic local hostelry and the food looked great 👍

We had excellent meals, very friendly village pub. Nothing too much trouble, great atmosphere.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere, just what you want from a village pub.

Nice old 1600's pub. Good beer nice home made food. Friendly landlord.

Wonderful staff, very helpful and kind. Food was delicious and quick to arrive. Would definitely recommend.

Visited for Sunday lunch whilst staying in the village. Good service, lovely roast and old fashioned spotted dick( apparently that should now be spotted Richard!). Would recommend

Great pub in a great spot with friendly staff and a good selection of beers 🍻

Called in on off chance of a meal but fifteen minutes late which was fair enough.Sadly would have had a pint the two staff didn't seem over welcoming in all fairness.Felt as if I'd intruded .no matter just passing through as probably a lot of people do.

Brilliant little place. Staff helpful and friendly. Great meal.

Great time spent warm welcome friendly atmosphere. Lovely food value for money keep coming back always well looked after

A perfect pub in a perfect location, beer and food were fantastic..

Fabulous food and a great vibe!

Fantastic night karaoke, landlord's really friendly everything brilliant

Cosy pub with great food!! Loved the kings head mixed grill. Great service!!

Lovely food, good prices and staff were very lovely and funny to talk to.

How pubs should be. Friendly landlady and staff. No pretence here with banter all round. Pub is a real village pub and doesn't pretend to be something it's not. Food was good hearty fair and reasonable prices. We all enjoyed our visit

Whilst camping nearby (Middlehills farm) me and a group of friends took a walk to Bonsall and had Sunday lunch at this stunning pub! The pub itself is a gorgeous building that was built in 1677 and is situated in the centre of Bonsall. From...

We had a lovely warm welcome with really friendly staff. Massive portions of tasty food- with take away cartons provides for what we couldn't eat. There were options for gluten and dairy free which my son was very happy with. Everyone found something they wanted...

Very friendly people, make you feel very welcome good knowledge about area and the food is lovely with a good varied menu.

Good choice of food on the main menu plus specials and a full list of pizzas. The pies in particular were a hit! Friendly service. Helpful and attentive staff too.

This was the best food we had eaten all week. It was delicious with great portions. Great menu choice for a young family with friendly service.

Lovely, friendly owners and staff and the food was delicious. I look forward to going again.

Great food great cider brilliant service, absolutely gorgeous inside, the place

We had a great family meal while we were on holiday in the area. Delicious food & excellent friendly service. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Bonsall!

My friend and I recently stayed in Bonsall on a short break in the Peak District. I had booked a table in advance at the Kings Head as I know with the amount of staycations at the moment we could have struggled to find somewhere...
