The Kings Head in Wycombe

Since new management took over the overall ambiance has changed and not for the better. The service seems slower and the staff a lot less cheery. The food also not as it used to be . Doesn't feel like the Kings head that I know so won't be going back

Great pub and petanque piste. Update fantastic Sunday lunch here today. Friendly and attentive staff. Visited again tonight. 27th August 2024 Really recommend the burger, the best I have tasted for ages. Perfectly cooked.

A very welcoming pub! Staff were very warm and friendly. It seemed a giod mix of locals and visitors tonthe area. Dogs were allowed which is a bonus.

A large family birthday celebration dinner. The menu had something for every taste, including an erstwhile vegetarian recently turned carnivore who was able to put together a marvellous customized, ie. off-menu meat platter including steak, chicken and eggs - wonderful. Lovely old style English pub with very friendly and accommodating staff!

Huge thank you to Harry, Joel, Wilson and all the staff for their help in hosting mine and my wife's wedding celebration with all our friends and family. They were excellent in getting the pavilion and outdoor space just the way we wanted it for the night, and were really communicative throughout the planning process. On the night, the service was fantastic, with lots of people commenting on how good the barbecue was. All in all, a fantastic experience. Really recommend the space they have outside with the garden/patio/paviliion if you are looking to host a birthday, anniversary or any other event!

New chef. Decent pub and Tapas. Great kids food done really well. Recommended!!!

Very polite attentive staff. Curry was great but just on limit with its chilli kick to it. Fluffy rice. Well made. The sticky toffee pud wasnt as youd expect. In essence Toffee sauce on a cake. Not the moist date heavy (like xmas) pud consistency id expected and served cold. Quickly replaced with hot one. If a cake, was very good but not as a pud. Almost no dates fruit in. Chef to look into the recipe used. Friends apple crumble was liked. Overall a good meal. Thankyou

I was here for the first time with a large group, booked well in advance and food ordered in advance as well. I’ve passed this restaurant a million times probably, but never stopped in. As I said we ordered food ahead of our visit, but the restaurant changed hands and menus and we were told with only 2 days notice. That said, the food was very good, better than a lot of pub food, with nice vegetarian options. They have seating inside the pub as well as a large outdoor seating area and a private pavilion , which was where we were. There was basically only one server assigned to us, so despite clearly having all the food ready for us at the same time, it was a little slow to get to us. I ended up staying a lot longer than I had intended because time coming back with dessert menus and taking orders and paying all took an age. I would definitely recommend.

Our end of year party costing £20 per head for bbq food was very disappointing. The bread rolls sat out in the heat for more than half an hour whilst the potato salad and coleslaw also sat curdling for a considerable time in the heat of the day. Eventually burgers and chicken were cooked, both of which were tasteless. I will not be returning or recommending to anyone I know. McDonalds would have been a better choice and value for money.

I'm a not cis person who used to work here and I was treated with a lot of respect. Despite my passport still being in my deadname, Matt, the manager, already knew about deed polls and ensured only my legal chosen name appeared on the system to the point nobody even knew my passport had the wrong name on it. Matt always listened to me about any issues I raised and took the time to get to understand more about being not cis and not straight in general. Whilst the clientele isn't overtly not straight, I always felt respected by staff and management. Only once did I experience anti not-cis from a customer and Matt and the assistant manager saw that it upset me and assured me they would contact that customer (they had been in before) to inform them they had upset a staff member and that won't be tolerated. Overall I enjoyed my time working at the King's Head and would be happy to work there again. The chef has changed since I worked there but I always enjoyed the food although more vegetarian options would be nice. More food than I expected was made from scratch which is cool. There is a good range of drinks, especially Rebellion, but most cocktails aren't available. I wrote this review as another trans person said they experienced discrimination here which I was surprised about as my time here was very good Disclaimer: some words had to be changed as Google is hiding this review due to the language used

Very hospitable & cosy pub, highly recommended. The food was great too.

Popped in for lunch and it was yum yum yum! Service from our waiter/barman was top notch. Food was so tasty and chef was accommodating with additions! Pub is warm and cosy and very clean. Definitely stop here for some good hospitality and a good feed!

Very disappointing Roast today. We have had the roast beef on other occasions but not too recently and it was delicious. Sadly not so this time as it seems that the standards are dropping at least in the roasts on offer. When our food arrived we had to ask for replacement roast potatoes as the ones received looked like boiled potatoes not roasted, the replacement ones we received were better but certainly not crispy and just about roasted. The gravy didn't pour very well as it was thick and gloopy and just about ok taste wise. The vegetables consisted of very plain cauliflower, broccoli, large sliced carrots(not glazed) and large pile of tasteless red cabbage. The Yorkshire puds didn't taste very fresh or had much taste. the person who served us did try to help and we were offered free puddings which we declined and accepted 20% discount. Sadly we won't be rushing back for the roasts and not sure about other menu options (we have been for lunch during the week). We needed to put our concerns in a review as there needs to be an improvement.

This place is not queer friendly. I wouldn't recommend this place for any queer people. I applied to work there, the trial shift went good, no major issues. After once I had to give my information I had to put my dead name even though I said I had a legal name change document but still was told to put my dead name. I iterated multiple times that I am not comfortable people seeing any of this Information, I was reassured that it would only be on the system. After going though there entire induction system that took many hours, including a section of inclusiveness that I had to give a statement of inclusiveness so everyone was trained not to discriminate. Yet on the first Rota given out I was dead named infront of the entire work force, these kind of actions has gotten me in genuine danger, assaulted and hurt in the past and am appalled and lidiv at there treatment of me as they ignored me for over half a day after I contacted them about the mistake and how they made me feel. Eventually leaving me to quit before I even had my first shift. This behaviour is appallingly and Isn't something I will tolerate. If you are queer I wouldn't recommend this establishment.

Had a lovely lunch here today, service was lovely and good food. I’ve no clue what the recent irrelevant reviews are for but had a lovely inclusive experience today. Found all staff welcoming and inclusive from the management to the bar staff. Our servers today Amy & Bea, were attentive and accommodating to all our needs, the chef Matt also checked we were happy with the service & food what more can you ask for!

Not at all a queer friendly space, outing one of the trans staff and ignoring her complaints is just not the way a proper business should be run. I was hoping for better treatment of employees but it seems even basic respect is too much.

Booked for a birthday lunch. The person who took the order for food and drink was very pleasant and super efficient. The starters came fairly quickly, the prawns on the prawn cocktail were the size of a shrimp and the lettuce leaves were very small. The whitebait were few and far between and tasted as though the oil used to cook them was very old and needed changing. The mains came and the scampi had been overcooked and was hard to chew, the chips tasted was if they had been cooked the day before and refried. The gammon steaks were hard and overcooked and similarly with the chips, they tasted of old cooking oil. I ordered the warm chocolate brownie, which had been burnt on one corner and was extremely small in size. Overall the food was not good and it was expensive, costing us £118.35 and with two beers and an orange juice and lemonade the bill came to £130.19! That's a lot of money when you're not happy with what you've had. Won't be going back anytime soon.

The bar staff on my visit were a pleasure and very courteous. At 2 o'clock ish thanks to all

Amazing find. I loved everything about this traditional pub . Food was great and staff friendly . Lovely outdoor area highly recommend

Lovely country pub with large garden. I've eaten here on several occasions and the food has ways been of a high standard. Although I can no longer drink real ale for medical reasons, 😢, when I could I always found the Rebellion ales to be well kept and of high quality. I highly recommend this pub.

🤩 Amazing 🤩 Nothing too much trouble. Genuinely care about the customers. Fantastic food. Outstanding customer service. First visit but felt like regulars they were all so kind. Definitely returning!

Visited for the first time today and this pub exceeded our expectations. The staff were super friendly and attentive. Good choice of food and tasted amazing. The pub itself has been tastefully decorated and a gorgeous outside seating area. This pub will be our go to from now on! Highly highly recommend.

Group booking in the Garden Room. All 5 star!

It is a bit on the small side, but the service and food choice were good. As was the food. Car parking is a bit tricky even with two car parks.

A cosy character pub with friendly efficient staff. The menu was a bit limited, but had very tasty options nonetheless.

I was with my relatives, all of whom had a great meal.

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 can’t believe I’m 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!

Friendly pub good landlord and staff

Nice pub with frendly staff and fairly large bear garden. The wooden beams of the celing are low so watch your head if your very tall.

Met girlfriends here for a pre Christmas lunch - lovely friendly pub warm fire and great food

Best chips I've had for a very long time. Freshly made pie was very nice, if a little small.

Lovely lunchtime meal and drink in a friendly pub. The fire was welcome, the staff were friendly and helpful.

Fairly average pub fair, food has gone downhill a bit of late. Sunday roast not really of a great standard.

Lovely lunch with friends .Very welcoming

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 £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 King’s 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 King’s 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.

Staying for weekend visiting family and came across this gem Amazing food including the homemade pie and very welcoming owners … Thank you to all staff made us feel so welcome

Went for a family roast, for £19.95 was expecting good things but was very disappointed. Quality of beef and gammon was very average, yorkshire puddings inedible and cauliflower cheese never arrived! Never asked how was meal or offer of more drinks despite 5 empty glasses

This place is a true ‘home from home’. Attentive and friendly service; excellent food and drink.

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 Mum’s 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.

Every time , someone went into or out of the kitchen BANG went the door. We complained, and was told they new about it …it ruined our meal…how about trying foam round the door, or slow release door.

Perfect. Can't wait to go back.

Just there for a drink with my son.

We had an excellent family meal out at the Kings Head again. The staff are friendly and courteous and the service very prompt. Lemon curd creme Brûlée was delicious! Thank you.

They did shut and take last orders at 8.30 on Sunday as there was nobody in the pub bar us

Celebrated a birthday party there last night , the food was absolutely fantastic, lovely friendly staff, can not recommend the Kings Head enough.

The food is amazing, very tasty . The younger members of staff are very helpful and attentive. The landlady was quite cold and standoffish . Would go back as it was lovely sat in the garden with a cold drink . Definitely recommend the halloumi fries .

I only went in to try and book a function. Made to feel most welcome by Matt so stayed for a beer and more chat. I really can't believe how accommodating he was, how he made me want to come back again, not just for the function but for meals. Is got out of the habit of coming here but I think that's going to change.

Having lived in Marlow and now Bourne end... We've never been to the Kings Head! Sunday lunch outside, roast beef with a lot of veg was grand. Madame had the halloumi burger and fries. Both lovely. Staff were just a bit under experienced but nice

Lovely old pub. Good food, good value, good service.

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.

Lovely location. Great garedn. Lovey drinks. Unfortunately the food and price don't match. Huge menu, too many options. The pub is gorgeous, staff were v friendly. Food means no return visit and don't recommend. Shorten the menu and focus on making those dishes good!

Really great roast, visited last Sunday with my son. Children's menu also has plenty of choice. Lovely outdoor area to sit and eat.

Friends birthday celebration. Great friendly service from the bar staff. Would recommend.

Tasty meal, seafood linguine, and the rest of the party enjoyed their meal. Would definitely recommend. As the weather gets better it would be great to eat in the garden.

I went here for dinner on Tuesday with a friend. I had the beef burger, she had a plant based burger. All seemed fine until later on that night and I was violently sick all night and following day. My friend was fine luckily. I wasn’t going to leave a review but I contacted the pub via Facebook to let them know and my message was read and ignored. Stay clear

Just popped in on a Thursday night arrive around 7:00 pm and pub had a few people drinking inside & outside as the sun was out. As we were eating we decided to eat inside had a great meal, my wife had steak, rare which was excellent. I had the fish & chips fish was haddock which was a big portion for one. The food arrived quickly staff friendly and happy to accommodate would definitely recommend. May pop back to see what the gardens like in the summer looked nice now just a bit cold for an evening for my wife.

Best Sunday roast dinner I’ve had in a while. Beef was exceptional as was the light fluffy Yorkshire. Staff were helpful and polite.

£20 for a cider, larger and lime, a Guinness and a packet of crisps. Over priced certainly ! Probably why the pub is not busy will give this place a wide berth.

First visit for Saturday supper. Nice pub atmosphere with efficient and friendly service. Food fresh with good pub grub menu. Reasonably priced too.

Played Team Boules. Lovely pub, great beers. Friendly staff and locals

Clean and tidy with great staff.

Disappointed having booked weeks ago for hubbys 60th birthday roast having heard supposed to be really good. No mention of his birthday at all and beef so tough. Waited ages for plates to be cleared. Disappointed on such a special occasion. 😞

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.

Fantastic pub grub ! Had a meal for 5 and everyone of us cleaned the plates and cherry tarte pudding was yummy 😋 friendly staff and nice oldy world pub feeling 👌

Great service with friendly staff and cute interior. Battered halloumi was wonderful, such a huge portion but I’m not complaining, I took half home! Boyfriend and his dad enjoyed their steak/pie. 👍🏻

Lovely pub serving great food and friendly, helpful staff.

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 weren’t 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 couldn’t order a dessert as the chef had gone home! But they had “kindly” left the tea an coffee machine on for us. I’m aware that they close early but we couldn’t 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 we’d give this local pub ago, but there are certainly more welcoming better value pubs nearby.

Delicious sandwiches and sticky toffee pudding.

Sunday roast for 2 and a bottle of red was best part £100, very expensive for a average roast, there also was hair in my food and plus we took the service charge off but they were quick to ask us of the 5p we were short of the bill. We won't be coming back anytime soon.

Nice small pub, food and service was good however we were in the outside dining area. The door to this doesn't shut so extremely cold draft kept coming through for the whole meal with staff coming in and out leaving the door open. Would have stayed for pudding but it was just too cold.

Great food and drink. Really nice staff.

Lovely “local” atmosphere, good choice of beers, attentive and friendly bunch and the food was great - unpretentious menu superbly executed. Haven’t been here for decades and glad we gave it a try.

We had a family Christmas get together for 12 at The Kings Head. We have had a few gatherings here over the years. The food was very good, with very generous portions. The staff were very attentive & we were not rushed through our courses for the space. I highly recommend this pub . Thank you Matthew & staff. We will be back

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

Been to pub regularly for drinks very charming Made a mistake and booked a table for lunch when we arrived (on time) we were told that somebody else was sitting at our table! The food was just average the service somewhat abrupt quite embarrassing as we took our friends and we recommended it to them,never again.

We have eaten here a few times over the years and always found you could have a good meal for reasonable prices. So we were bitterly disappointed this weekend when we popped in for lunch. Both my husband and I had the pie of the...

This Meal was exceptional even by their normal high standards Great food exceptional service and reasonably priced We will return regularly

Took my mother-in-law here for her 90th birthday lunch we really enjoyed it the staff were amazing could not do enough for you. As for the food that was great too.

Efficient service and good food

1st time trying this pub. Fantastic Food, Great atmosphere and really thorough and friendly staff. We were served by Ellie and another lovely lady who’s name we didn’t catch. Great Sunday roast with huge portions that they even gave us a take away box as we were so stuffed :)

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 £50 a head I expected better.

Went here for a large family evening meal. Was really disappointed with the standard of the food and service we received. I have been here several times before and had reasonable if not good service and food. Starters were really small, main courses were not...

Over cooked veg and meat, tasteless, inedible.. rock hard dry potatoes, only chicken breast or chewy overcooked beef options

Good local pub with typical pub food

Check to see if food is being served before you go.

Very good sunday lunch, proper pub feel, perhaps a wider choice of beers would be nice but what they had was good. The service was genuine friendly and very good. We will go back.

Popped in for lunch - 3 adults and dog. Lovely day, so sat in the back garden. Decent food, good service, very welcoming. Would return

Went for work do. The food was OK, my desert was the nicest where it's left from the burnt bit. Parking is not great at the main entrance but there is a parking area at the back where you can access it through another road. For what we paid, I expected better. The staff was very friendly and quick.

Lovely friendly staff, great garden....

Very friendly and exceptionally clean. Friendly staff and a really nice Sunday roast. The pithivier was a really great touch fir my vegetarian partner. Only criticism would be the garden lacked some atmosphere maybe some quite background music would "lift" it

An excellent pub dating back centuaries. We enjoyed a top lunch in a lovely atmosphere. The best fish and chips ever.

I’m sorry but the standard of food has dropped since I first ate in this pub . I’ll pay for good food if it’s cooked well and if the quality is good . Lunch today was poor . Badly cooked , poor portions and just...

Fantastic Sunday lunch, gorgeous roasts and food is exceptional quality. The staff service was perfect also, very attentive, friendly and professional and a credit to the establishment.

The King’s Head can certainly put on a spread. We couldn’t fault the quality and quantity provided for our family and friends when we came together to celebrate my mum’s life. Anything we wanted was catered for and nothing was too much trouble. We highly...

Blonde barwomen found my car keys and gave them back to me - Thank you.

I am a support worker that take out a group of very special people to experience going to the pub on a Friday afternoon I want to thank the staff for their patience 5stars all round
