I last wrote a review here for the Kings Head in January 2019, and have been back on infrequent occasions since then. I am happy to report that it is as good as ever, with friendly and efficient service, and that it met with full approval of the three friends to whom I introduced it this week as a lunch venue. I shall contiunue to go there with pleasure!

Visited with my partner for a roast dinner during Winter. Really sweet cosy pub, low ceilings with wooden beams and a real fire burning. Service was really good, and the roast dinner was fantastic! Perfect pink beef and (I canāt believe Iām writing this) the sprouts were my favourite part of the meal! Great chef :-) Would recommend to everyone.

Really cozy pub with delicious pub classics, could have happily spent all afternoon here. All staff were very friendly and had a nice chat with the (I think) owner who was very personable and welcoming. Will definitely be back again soon!

The worst Roast Dinner I can recall having for a very long time. Gammon was a grilled steak and chewy. Yorkshire puddings were not really yorkshire pudding. They were cold, flat, undercooked and more like an un risen cake. 3 tiny Roast potatoes, some almost raw Brocolli and and very small amount of other very average vegetables. All for Ā£19. No one came to the table to ask how anything was, no sauces offered, no one came to ask if we wanted more drinks that were finished before the dinner arrived. Missing items from our order. There was nothing positive about this dinner and we will certainly not be going back. Update following reply - You removed the cauliflower cheese that we ordered and never received and the discount was 10%. Which was the service charge that you had added to the bill. Therefore there was no actual discount.

Before I open I wish it to be known by whosoever chooses to read the enclosed that I truly wanted to enjoy The Kingās Head in Little Marlow and it is with a heavy heart that I turn to pen these sombre words. On an inclement afternoon one late October day our motley cast of wet and weary walkers darkened the door of this establishment in search of ale and board. The staff were welcoming and friendly, and the setting charmingly anachronistic. I regret to inform you, dear reader, that this is where the virtues ended. What was to follow was sadly nothing short of a barbarically overpriced roast dinner. The beef, so often tender and flavoursome, was closer to the sole of a shoe cooked within an inch of its life. The Yorkshire, which on another day may have risen to fluffy heights, was all but as flat as a pancake and regrettably charred. The boiled vegetables lacked flavour, and those few roast parsnips and carrots that were provided were almost raw. A glimmer of hope persisted in the form of roast potatoes, however the meagre portion (just three small roasties on my plate) made this brief deliverance all too fleeting. The price totals twenty five pounds if one opts to include cauliflower cheese (an option that I cannot in good faith endorse). I am sad to say that the quantity and mediocrity of the food does not come near to justifying this rate. If such a princely sum is demanded then the standard of the product must increase drastically. By all means, come to The Kingās Head, enjoy an ale and dawdle for a moment in its antique corridors. Think of those lives that have come before, the feet that have trodden its floors and the deals struck in the dark conspiratorial corners of this bygone tavern. But, my friend, please do not order the roast.

A group of us booked for lunch after a walk nearby. We had been asked to pre-order and as some members had dietary requirements these were confirmed again when we arrived; Joel going the extra mile by offering a few changes to make sure everyone was happy which was much appreciated. We enjoyed our meals and although too full to manage desserts settled for coffees to finish off a relaxing lunch. A good experience and thanks to Joel and his small team for looking after us so well.

We used the Garden Room at the Kings Head for my Mumās Wake. Joel and all of the staff were very helpful and attentive, polite and empathetic . Nothing was too much trouble, they provided a great spread of food for our Family and friends. They went the Extra Mile for us , even helping by placing around some of my Mums paintings . We could clearly see the staff were trying their best to help us. The garden room at the Kings Head is a super venue for this kind of thing but would definitely benefit from a redecoration. There is ample parking and a safe garden and outside covered area. The pub has the traditional quaint old pub feel about it, which adds to the atmosphere. We need these kind of venues, as so many are closing down.

Not sure the outside covered eating area would pass many inspections, the floor was covered in debris and litter, and goodness knows when the floor had last been swept. Chairs seemed to be everywhere and empty tables remained joined together and abandoned from previous use. Pretty untidy, given the limited number of customers when we visited, just a little l surprised such has not been attended to. The far end seemed to be set aside as an open storage area. A complete departure from how we found this eating area when we ate this Pub this time last year, a great pity.

All the ambience of a classic English pub with oak beams.. The staff were bright, efficient and enthusiastic. But, I stressed a pot of hot tea - warmed pot, water just off boiling - I did not get one. The fish was decent but probably needed another couple of minutes. The chunky chips were small, having been cut from small potatoes, and were neither crisp nor succulent. On my list to go again, but not soon.

I have visited many times before and had a lovely meal with great service, always a bit pricey though. However, I have not been in to eat since last summer. I booked a table for me and a friend, we arrived on time, the pub was almost empty so we had a choice of seats. We were offered drinks and the menu. We ordered starters and mains which took awhile to arrive considering we were the only people eating. The food was fine, we werenāt offered any condiments etc. We finished our main around 8:30 bearing in mind we booked so they were aware we would be eating, were told we couldnāt order a dessert as the chef had gone home! But they had ākindlyā left the tea an coffee machine on for us. Iām aware that they close early but we couldnāt have eaten ore meals any quicker. So we had a rushed tea as it was very obvious that we needed to leave as the chap behind the bar wheeled out the floor mop and used a very strong smelling disinfectant. Nothing like feeling welcome! Thought weād give this local pub ago, but there are certainly more welcoming better value pubs nearby.

I'm not sure by what to start. The waitress didn't know what pie of the day it was (at 6pm), the kids burger was a very small patty (on the burnt side) in a very large bun and kids pizza was made out of ketchup instead of tomato sauce. I ordered potatoes with my pie (any kind of potatoes but not chips) and got chips. The greens served with the pie were still quite crunchy. Given the price of the food (quite expensive for a small town pub) we were expecting some decent food and have been very disappointed, with a very expensive cheque. It's really a shame because the pub felt cosy, was warm and clean. But we will not be returning.3

Went for an evening meal for my brothers birthday and had booked the outside room as my parents are elderly. I have been here before a few times and was really disappointed by the standard of service we received on this occasion. We waited ages for drinks when ordered. We checked inside the pub and it was not busy, just 3 or 4 people so not overwhelmed. We pre ordered food and despite going over how people wanted their steak on the night it was still incorrect when it came out. The starters were really small. The sink in the toilets was filthy. The door did not shut properly to the room and so it was really cold at times. For a bill of over Ā£50 a head I expected better.
