The Kings Head Inn in Forest of Dean - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Excellent range of choice on menu Generous portions High quality food Highly recommended Service very good Friendly and attentive Well done

Quick Sunday drop in for a drink - dirty tables outside, not even wiped down. Would not happen abroad due to higher customer service levels. Just have waiting staff that observe/ act when people leave, quite simple really

Lovely place to eat. All areas were clean. Staff were friendly and extremely helpful. Meals were presented well with plenty of it. My meal was well cooked but my partners was cold in the middle.

Once again an excellent Sunday Roast. Very friendly staff and very keenly priced, which also includes a desert. How anyone can criticise The Kings Head is beyond belief.

I can't praise this Inn highly enough! Everyone is so warm and welcoming. I stay regularly and feel like one of the family. Its lovely to know I can relax after a long day with super home cooking, very comfy accommodation and a lovely chat.

Our first visit here & I doubt it will be the last. A really friendly place, good food in ample portions with plenty of parking. Great value. What's not to like?

Friendly staff. Food was amazing, great variety and lots of it! Definitely recommend. Lovely spacious park and garden

Stayed here for two nights. It is easier to list the bad points only there weren't any. Exceptional find for the price and facilities. There is a bus stop right outside for buses to Gloucester, Ross on Wye and Hereford so I left my car in the car park. Behind the hotel is a copse with paths leading out into the Gloucestershire Way and ideal for a before or after lunch/dinner stroll. Just thought of one minor issue, the stairs up to the bedrooms (which face away from the road) are a bit steep but straight, well lit, hand railed and negotiable by most. Great stay!

What a nice friendly place, the lady behind the bar was delightful. The food was rather typical 'pub food', ok but not top notch dining. We enjoyed our visit great value food especially the OAP menu.

Amazing place to eat ,very nice and clean and the food was delicious and big portion also.def we will came back.

Popped in this evening to a lovely toasty, festive welcome. 4 friends get together. Food was deliciously hot, good quality ingredients and lashings of it. Generous portions served with a smile. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and we will be back as well as recommend.

We live locally and my daughter has always wanted to go as she’s seen the park from the road. It didn’t disappoint. Friendly staff who were polite and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Lovely and clean, park well maintained and an overall welcoming atmosphere. The food was yummy, big portion sizes and well cooked. We’ll be back !

Arrived on a Friday (4.30pm) for food expecting the kitchen to be open, however was told food not available until 6pm. Waited and ordered and our choices came quickly. The Lasagne was full of oil and hardly any pasta, the meat was so minced it reminded me of the sort you used to get in a tin. It was awful. I did enjoy the garlic bread and the salad ! The language being used in the bar area (by customers) was quite distasteful and uneccessary. All in all after a long day travelling my opinion of this pub is far from my last visit when living in Gloucester.

Went for the curry and it was really tasty with lots of sides. Not to spicy but had a little hint of the hot stuff which is enough for most normal people.

Food was quickly delivered and tasted good. Service was excellent. My only issue was the animals in the garden especially the rabbit, what a disgusting dirty hutch for it, I would be quite happy to take it home and look after it better.

Cara and her team are fabulous. They fitted us in for Sunday lunch which was huge and well worth the money with desert included. Service with a smile! 😀

Stopped for Sunday Lunch, what a meal, good portions of two meats and veggies., followed by a good selection of puddings. Very pleasant staff very helpful and pleased to serve you.. Lovely views over the fields with horses in the paddocks. Will return again on our next visit to the area.

Enjoyed a fantastic evening with our elderly relatives. The food was fantastic and the service excellent. Covid restrictions followed with plenty of sanitiser etc all around the place also very clean. I would highly recommend The Kings Head.

The food was appalling! No fresh veg (very watery, obviously from frozen) The beef? Certainly not cut off a joint from the kitchen, (frozen slices or tinned) Tasteless plate of food. Would be better off with a birds eye TV dinner.

Went for lunch with 2 year old granddaughter as we knew the pub has swings and climbing frames as well as animals for her to see. Really great value meal, 2 courses for 8 pounds. Had ham egg and chips, wife had scampi. Fast service, good portions and puddings too. Add to this a nice pint of beer and all in all a really nice lunch. We will be back.

After having chances upon the Kings Head 3 weeks ago, my mother in law decided she wanted to make a 50 mile detour on our way home from her birthday day trip. This was a great choice. We received a very warm welcome from happy friendly staff and despite it being reasonable busy, we were not rushed into ordering our dinner. When our dinner arrived (only about 30 minutes) it was hot, very tasty and plentiful. The whopper burger certainly lives up to its name and the burgers were juicy and cooked perfectly. The lady behind the bar could not have been more helpful in explaining about the desserts etc after our main meals and when they arrived, once again they were hot and very very tasty. The toffee sponge was happily chowed down by mother. We shall without doubt be going back here in the future.

Excellent food and lots of it! Lovely staff and a very friendly atmosphere. Will definitely return and recommend to friends and family!

Stopped on chance. Had classic pub meals, lasagne and steak pie, both of which were very tasty and excellent value. The pub is doing a Stirling job in the current challenging circumstances

Stopped on the spur of the moment and was not disappointed! Fab steak and kidney pie, fresh peas, the pie was full of meltingly tender beef and lovely chunks of kidney in a rich gravy. Topped off with crumble and ice cream with a pint of crisp cold cider, superb. My wife had the hunters chicken and Eton mess equally as lovely and not a scrap left. Value for money, nice staff and good cider. I rest my case. Try it!

We stayed here one night during our walking holiday trekking from Gloucester to Chepstow during the heatwave. We enjoyed our dinner as well as the room & the breakfast. Very friendly staff :) (The only improvement which could be made would be to possibly tidy up the "balcony" space a bit as was not so clean).Thank you!

Truly awful, I had a ‘Classic burger’ which was so far from classic. A very thin burger, a bit of salad in the dry bun, no relish, no mayo, no pickle. Not a classic you’d be better going to a burger van in a lay-by down the road. Not a place to visit unless you like lay-by food

It's such ashame that a nice layout pub with a play area for children is being run the way it was. Had a BBQ rib with a friend of mine and it was the worst food ever. How ever they cooked the ribs was really bad. We received the food like 2 mins after ordering, so most likely microwaved. You know how you get a packet of ribs from lidll where you have slimely bit at the end of the packet well it was like that but microwaved and then that slimely part was just dumped on the top. The salad wasn't fresh. Well at least they cooked the chips well. They advertise Sunday roast mon-fri like dead cheap, summit like £4.99 so if anyone ever visits there that only strikes alarm bells. Stay away from this place guys for your stomachs sake

Stopped here for lunch and once again were very impressed with the service, quality of food and incredible value for money.

After our 1st place to stop was closed we travelled back to the Kings Head. Glad we did. We were greeted by a friendly barmaid, a nice and good pub menu at reasonable prices, the only downside they only had 1 real ale.Our food arrived, well cooked and presented, and our table over a well made for a nice experience.Certainly would return if in the area.

We were staying in the area and after a long day visiting the forest attractions in the rain, we came across the kings head on the way back to our a accomodation, we were warmly welcomed and enjoyed a lovely roast with all the trimmings, we had already ordered our dessert but we were quite full so we took our drinks outside had a little walk and returned for dessert of apple crumble and custard was lovely, when I read some of the reviews I was surprised, yes its pub food but good honest pub food in a nice surrounding, we will be going ba k when in the area.

This was my first visit here this week. Large pub but pretty dated inside. Plenty on the menu but I just opted for a whopper burger. Huge portion with chips, salad, hash browns, eggs etc but the burger itself was just an average patty. Certainly not the tasty, juicy burger I was expecting. Staff were friendly and good deals on food for senior citizens etc.

A group of 14 of us, mixed ages, called in here on Sunday, not knowing if they could accomodate us for lunch, they did ! they moved things so we could sit together and our lunches were served in very quick time. A very good meal, tasty and hot. We paid just £9.95 for a large roast and a pudding that was deliscious . Bargain ! very nice staff too as we were a bit noisy Definitely will be returning

We have visited The Kings Head on a number of occasions and every time it delivers good quality food at very affordabe prices. Stacks of free parking. Will return again that is for certain

Overpriced drinks especially pints Generally overpriced Food quality poor Don’t appreciate regular customers

Called in on our way back travelling from Cheltenham to south Wales. We were greeted by friendly staff and placed our order for a 2-course meal. My husband had a starter and main course, I had main course and dessert. The restaurant was clean with a pleasant atmosphere with quite a few people dining. Service was efficient and pleasant. We could not fault any of the meals. The quality was really good and the amount of food was surprising as they were OAP Special meals. Nothing was skimped. Will certainly call there again.

Great family pub, with great staff , with Excellent food would recommend to anyone kids love going there for food and a play in the park 😂

Came in for lunch with my family, straight away we were greeted with brilliant and friendly service. Food was delicious! I had the Sunday beef dinner, the meat was gorgeous! My husband had the Lasagne equally as lovely. Couldn’t recommend this place highly enough, perfect for all! Will definitely be coming back again :)

So I ordered a meal & when it came I was asked if I wanted any sauce - I said yes tomato please. She came back over with a Heinz Tomato Sauce bottle that looked a bit worse for wear. I put a dollop on my plate & dipped a chip in - IT WAS NOT HEINZ! It was some sort of cheap sauce that had obviously had been refilled over & over with a cheap alternative! This is not good when people can only eat exactly what’s in the ingredients & what's on the labels!!

Took family including 2 children for Sunday lunch. Very reasonable price and the food was plentiful and very well cooked and presented. The staff who work there really went out of their way to make our experience perfect. Lovely setting and plenty for kids to do in the garden. Will definitely be returning.

Have been several times now for Lunch on Sundays. Always a very warm welcome from the staff. Great choice on the menu, we have had most things now, but i would definitely recommend the Fish and Chips - "Proper Fish" dipped and deep fried to lite crispy perfection!!

Lovely get together with Sister and Brothers for a Saturday lunch time meal, I had a meal off the Senior citizens menu, and the price for two courses was very reasonable.

Called in by chance fairly late for food on a Sunday afternoon. Staff were friendly & polite. We had the roast beef, which was lovely. Plenty of it, but not too much. Having a dessert included in the price was a bonus.

The first time we have had a meal at the Kings Head, now retiring, we had the Seniors menu, the food was excellent, next time we will go for two courses, it was £9.00 for three, £7.00 for two, ample plates of food, served by a lovely waitress. We were certainly not disappointed, far from it, the regulars at the bar made the experience even better. Cannot wait to revisit

Once again had a superb Sunday meal with the family! We were a party of 9 people. Sooo glad we booked as the pub was full! (Not surprisingly though!I would recommend booking in advance to save disappointment for sure). Even though they were extremely busy our food arrived quickly, piping hot and was absolutely delicious. I can't fault it at all! Proper home cooked roasts with 4 veg, roast and new potatoes, Yorkshire pub, stuffing and 2 different meats! We've visited many times and tried all sorts from the menu from Sandwiches, steaks, curries and their top notch burgers.....Heaven! They have just recently redecorated too! The place looks amazing. As for the staff, again faultless! They didn't stop the entire time we were there and still gave first class service. And to top it all off the puddings were die for! All in all probably the best eatery around!

Just visited for Sunday dinner of a family of 9. Glad we booked as they were very busy understandably due to the perfectly cooked roast dinners and great value for money. This is not our first visit and won't be our last. We come all year round to eat either indoors in the freshly decorated bar/restaurant area or to sit in the sunshine in their large garden with plenty of play equipment for the children. The bar is well stocked with a large range of beers, spirits, wines, soft drinks, slushies etc. The well thought out menus which has something for everyone from roast dinners, steaks, pies, fish, huge burgers which are to die for and the lighter bites of sandwiches,wraps salads etc. Some thing for everyone. We always manage to get something for even our picky eaters of the group as the staff are always happy to change things on the meals to help. Nothing is ever to much trouble. Love it here as the staff are always welcoming and friendly and we never wait long for food even if they are full and busy. Highly enjoyed today and can't wait for our next visit

What a lovely friendly place ! Arrived to smiling friendly faces, and a lovely chilled family atmosphere. Ordered king's head whopper, beef Sunday roast, steak and chips and kids burger and chips. Wow the whopper was stunning ! Best burger ever ! Sunday roast was delicious, beef was so tender it melted in your mouth ! Steak wad cooked perfectly and burger and chips perfect. We're asked for salad separate, this was no problem at all. I cannot rate the food enough. Puddings were stunning and even got one free for having a roast ! We had eaton mess, chocolate sponge cake and ice cream and vanilla ice cream. All portions of mains and puddings were large and very good value for money. A proper family pub with proper sized meals ! Kids went on to the park after and there were some animals for them to see to. The whole place was spotless ! Clean, tidy and welcoming. Thanks to all staff for a lovely lunch !

Order meals for the family i ordered thier so called whopper...omg how dire was it...the butger was rubberery although so called char grilled mor live char-microwaved...i guess you can buy chargrilled burgers ready to heat through and tbats exactly what they do no wonder its empty...i left most of the meal...the barman was rude saying its not his problem and he doesnt get involved woth the kitchen and well the boss was even ruder...what a waste of money...steer clear unless you want to pay for rubbish food and rude staff

The meal was fabulous! Freshly cooked and although we had to wait a while it was worth it. Very reasonably priced too! We both had the beef Yorkshire pudding wrap and were well impressed. Well done to the chef!

The menu is great, so much to choose from, the food is always hot and plentiful, staff are friendly, lovely warm welcoming pub, been there several times, cant fault the service

Have used the kings head for many years,always made welcome,food is always good fresh veg homemade pies ,lasagne ,e.c t Yorkshire puddings to, a friendly family run place , kids area safe and fun, ponies and goats, plus a rabbit bus ,can’t wait for their Xmas display in the garden was fantastic last year,

You can get a good, basic meal here at an extremely reasonable price. There are 2 and 3 course special offers available, and also a roast on weekdays at an unbelievable price! If I had just one small criticism, it is that I am personally not a fan of salad and gravy together on the same plate! On the occasions I have been here, I have only ever seen a single member of staff. She serves the drinks, takes the food orders, delivers the food to the table, and is there at the till at the end for payment. She certainly keeps very busy! Perhaps the fact of having this one (and very efficient) multi-tasking lady helps considerably in the extremely reasonable pricing of all the meals. There is a decent selection of drinks here too. Also a very large car park.

Just had a lovely meal here with my husband. We both had a steak dinner & the steak was really tasty & cooked just as we’d asked for. The portions are large, the plate was full & I thought they’d forgotten the chips but these came up separately in a very large bowl for each of us! The service was good & prices reasonable, if we ever find ourselves in this part of the country again we would definitely come again.

Always come here with the family good food all the time and always feel welcome, good play area for kids, great service

Me the 2 kids and wife had a wonderful evening! The kids play area is absolutely fabulous ! The food was excellent and great value for money ! The kids had a great time and so did me and the wife ! Will be returning sooner rather than later !

Me and my husband have visited many times and everytime the fish and chips are amazing .piping hot and food to die for i hate fish normally and if someone is able to find fault with food served in a pib or restuarant it will be me but honestly i can not find fault yes it isnt a cheap place to eat by omg sooo nice

I should have suspected something when I was told that they had no mashed potato for my sons meal but were still offering potatoes with other meals. When asked if some of them could be mashed I was told 'No!' and "I don't know how the kitchen works!"

Just called in for lunch as driving past. Food and service was good and prices were reasonable. Plenty of parking.

.....keep driving, find a Tesco and grab yourself a £3 meal deal, even that would beat this place. Booked a table for 10, turned up, playground looked great for kids, nice views, horses....then we went inside! The 1st thing we saw was a poster advertising mid-week roast for "only" £3.99. Why we didn't turn around and leave at the point I do not know. As the posters and menu suggested, this is a 'cooked from frozen' kind of a place. No chef needed, just someone who can hit defrost on the microwave, followed by cook! Really poor quality, but you cannot expect anything else at the prices charged. You cannot get a decent meal for a couple of quid, end of! The setting and location could make this place a real winner, but as long as it caters for the 2 meals for a fiver, with free dessert and rola cola customer base, it will never gain any kind of decent reputation.

This is the type of place that just needs to close its doors it’s just a waste of food produce and energy.

Ok, so you've got a little time on your hands on the way home from a day out somewhere and you're heading out of Gloucester towards Ross on Wye on the A40. You would be wise to chill out at the Kings Head at Birdwood- it's conveniently close to the road and very visible on your left side. If you're hungry and if you have a family, well, you'd be foolish to pass by this gem.

The place was exactly as we expected from reading reviews and seeing the images on the website.

We called by as a convenient place to meet family, all was good. Food was good with excellent portion sizes, the deserts were the highlight, with lots of choice. We look forward to coming back in the summer as the children’s play area looks impressive and they’ll love visiting the rabbits. Well worth stopping by

We happened to be passing this pub as we had just started discussing where to stop for some lunch and the sign offering a roast for 3.99 caught our eye, so we pulled in.

Found this pub by chance as we staying not too far away. Not very busy when we got there but was the day after Boxing Day. Friendly staff nice eating area - there is an old well that has been turned into a table very quirky! Food was excellent and very good value for money. Couldn’t try the desert menu as was too full from the main course! Nicest cheesy chips I’ve had in a long long time! Very good

Called in on our way back from Clearwell Caves and were pleased that, not having booked, we managed to get a table. Nice roast with a good choice of desserts. Good service and excellent value for money. Will certainly call again.

Have driven past lots of times when it looked very busy. Full car park. Today was quite so we stopped. Had a traditional roast, which is their everyday meal for £3.99. Great value and good food. We sat at the table which has been built around the well. Which is now indoors in what must originally been an extension. Good decor and well laid out.

Attracted by the Accommodation £35 sign on the gate I stayed here for a couple of nights. Comfortable twin room, if I was with someone else the pilow fight would have been awesome. Lots of pillows. Pretty standard pub grub, all round good value.

I stayed one night with my daughter to attend a university open day. The Inn was warm and welcoming with very friendly staff. We were shown to our room by a delightful little girl. Very comfortable beds.

i cant believe places like this still exist. as i walked in i went to the toilet before going to the bar, i really should have walked straight back out after the toilet as i cant remember the last time i saw such dirty old, tired toilets. Then as i walked into the bar area i couldn't believe my eye's as it gets worse.

Fantastic pub with proper good honest home made food, and very reasonably priced , all staff were friendly, and even though they were very busy we didn't have to wait long for our meal, not many places like this still around!

Very friendly staff good food, a plus for us we could take our dog in the bar when we ate.when you are on holiday that's a bonus

Visited with my partner and our 3 kids. Haven't eaten anything this bad for a while!! Burnt cardboard beef, over cooked tasteless Yorkshire pudding, one anaemic roast potato, 2 boiled potatoes, peas, watery boiled cabbage, carrot and seventies diced swede...yes diced swede!!! The plates were so small that the kids couldn't cut their food without it going everywhere and my glass of wine tasted like vinegar. I may as well have just flushed £50 down the toilet, it was that bad. To add insult to injury, when I told the waitress that it was disappointing to say the least and that the beef was inedible, she ignored me and just walked away. Not really sure how the place stays open to be honest. I wouldn't even rate it as one bit I have to.

Went to this pub for a weekday meal with my friend and her baby, walked through to an empty and very quiet restaurant, my friend ordered sausage and bacon sandwich (there was more bacon rind than actual bacon, but she managed to eat it!)

I am quite surprised at some of the negative reviews about this pub. We were coming home along the A40 and stopped off for a meal. Nice big carpark for our American car, lovely welcome, Gin Bar (!!!!!!) very selective menu, good service and really nice food. My husband had a roast dinner, I had steak pie - proper pie, not a bowl of meat with some airy fairy flaky pastry on top. We really enjoyed the whole experience and will return when next driving out this way.

Called in for Sunday roast. Staff are very polite and probably mean we'll but, that dinner was horrid. We noticed lots of people leaving with lots left on their plates. The place is dated and tired.

Convenient, low cost stop - over while visiting friends. Plenty of parking space. Large children's outdoor play area and outdoor seating. Room pleasant, clean and bed firm. Efficient shower although a bit cramped for room. Large dining room perhaps catering more for the well advertised Roast at £3.50. (How can they do it for that price?). Decor a bit tired. Breakfast only ok, no fresh fruit, ate at sticky table on cold plates. Could do better.

We were passing and the place looked quite nice. Plenty of parking and a pleasant area to sit outside.The inside is a bit gloomy and could do with updating and a good deep clean. I was a bit put off by the £3.50 Roast Dinner, even at catering prices, that is very cheap and cheap usually means mass produced and microwaved.We ordered and found a table in the large dining room, which we had the to ourselves, as all the other customers were sitting in the sunshine outside.Sadly, our table was slightly 'sticky' indicating a lack of cleaning.The food arrived in good time and was well presented with a good sized portion. I'd gone for Steak & Kidney Pie, Chips and Veg. Chips and veg were fine and fresh, but the Pie was out of the microwave and although hot outside, was less so in the middle. Also the pastry was terrible, like soggy cardboard.My son had Ham, Eggs and Chips, served with Salad and Peas. Again, a good sized portion and quality was reasonable. He enjoyed it and cleared his plate.Overall, I suppose not too bad if you avoid anything that needs long cooking, I suspect the microwave is used more than the oven and £26 for two, with drinks isn't too expensive these days. Staff were pleasant enough, but could spend a bit more time cleaning instead of chatting.Worth calling in I suppose, but not good enough for a special visit.

Went past this pub on way to Ross and saw the sign saying Roast £3.50 Monday to Friday so decided we'd call in on way back, which we did. Just a nod from the young man when we arrived and went to order but who told us the offer wasn't on as it was a bank holiday (perhaps sign should be removed on a bank holiday?). Therefore we chose alternatives off the menu. We ordered one ordinary burger and a pulled pork burger with a choice of three sauces. We weren't asked which sauce we wanted and were just given barbecue (not an issue really just a small point). The meals were okay apart from loads of chips were just the crunchy end bits so were left. When plates were collected we weren't asked why the chips were left. Place needs a bit of an update, although lovely hanging baskets make for a nice outside and it has a large car park. For what we had it was slightly overpriced so all in all won't be rushing back.

Stopped off today for a bite to eat . Food was prepared in good time and was well presented. Lots on your plate and tasted really good . Chicken fajita was very tasty and was cooked to perfection . 16oz rump steak cooked to the way our guest wanted without any complaints tasted great . The large burger was indeed large and tasted great . And finally the kids menu had a very happy 7 year old especially as she is fussy with her nuggets , but loved these, fresh chicken I may add. The beer is definitely not watered down as experienced in some places. The staff was very polite and came to check all was ok which it was . The prices are very good considering the amount of food you get you'd think they was robbing themselves . Highly recommended and will definitely visit again .

Called in with my wife whilst passing by on a Sunday drive and had the Roast, most tables were reserved but we were offered the only free table in the restaurant, the food was great value, tasty and served piping hot by very polite servers.Would call again without hesitation, as we left the restaurant all other tables in the bar area and restaurant were full so obviously a very popular place.

We happened to stumble across this restaurant on the way home from Gloucester and we were glad we did!We had an excellent Sunday lunch (options of pork and beef) a drink and a desert for £10 each. Couldn't fault it! The dinners were beautifully hot, plenty of veg and all tasted very good. The staff were very kind and polite and did a great job.The only problem for us is that we live about 60 miles away or we'd be back again next Sunday.

This pub looks clean and well presented and offers home cooked food. What they don't say is everything comes out of a microwave apart from the salad, every part of the meal was stodgy. The waitress said she was sorry and walked off.Do yourself and favour and avoid this place for food, shame.

........a meal so dreadful that both courses were sent back.We paid for our 2 drinks and left. What could be that bad....? Ultimate Nachos to start. What actually came was a bowl of broken crispy bits, I'm thinking supermarket basic range tortilla chips, slathered in tomato ketchup, yep that's right tomato ketchup, topped with melted cheese.Main course, we both opted for the chicken and bacon in brioche bun. The chicken was described as chargrilled breast with rasher of sweetcure bacon. The chicken was breast, but highly questionable that it was freshly cooked by char grilling. I suspect it was cooked much earlier and reheated. It takes a special skill to overcook a chunk of chicken, to the extent its so dry it was genuinely hard to swallow! Also in the bun with the very dead chicken, really delicious wedges of raw onion. ..and the really good bit, the plastic pot with 1000 island dressing!!Felt a degree of sympathy for the lady behind the bar, it wasn't her fault.Will not be back.

Home cooked food, really decent value for money and good service.Have to say I really like it here!

Visited before & pleased .today we visited mediocre welcome.have to admit two fussy.diners. We ordered chicken fajitas & veg (no wrap) & rare steak with no chips, chicken arrived had bacon in it (not mentioned on menu) friend doesn't eat bacon as makes ill, steak arrived with no mushrooms (even though included on menu)chicken returned politely & was told they didn't know it never mentioned bacon on menu, also that he had last chick breast (when first dish obviously was made of all parts of chicken) he ordered steak in its place & asked if he could have fajita style, barmaid /waitress said she would ask, the steak arrived (not fajita style which he wasn't told couldn't happen)but by this time I had eaten my meal & other guests obviously locals were made aware of our complaint..not professional..no one made an attempt to ask if our meals were ok after they had been delivered. Steak however (mine more med/rare than rare) was very tasty..silly mistakes spoilt our lunch today..disappointed to say the least

Visited the Kings Head for lunch on Saturday and found the experience to be average. There welcome wasn't as good as expected. The food was okey however the Cannelloni I ordered was burnt and was stuck to the bottom of the dish. Was happy with the portion sizes but the taste wasn't that good.

Been here before and didn't expect much. The decor is dated and it is frequented by bus loads of tourists coming back from the Forest of Dean.This does, however, mean it has a massive car park.The food arrived and looked quite ordinary, however the look belied the flavour.Love taste, really well cooked, down to earth food. Good sized servings too.Really pleased we went. Will no doubt go back.

Popped in for a bar snack on our way home from school shopping. Only stopped for a quick lunch.I had a Chicken Wrap which was nicely filled with fresh crispy salad and a good load of nice chicken.My son had fish finger and chips agin lovely size portion jumbo fish finger.My daughter had lasagne which she polished off and would have licked the plate if I had let her!!!.Well what was a quick stop ended in 3 hours and meeting friends as the kids had so much fun on there fantastic play area and fussing the horses and goats.I will be meeting friends there again later in the week as the best part is the kids never once complained that they were bored

Love this pub I call in regularly ! Staff are nothing but helpful ! It's always really busy whilst I'm there so this does mean our meals do get slightly delayed but this has never bothered me at all in fact the waiting staff keep us entertained while we wait ! I also love the chocolate sponge nothing like a home made pudding ! This is the ideal place for family meals lovely play area, sweet machines, grabby machine you name it they've got it ! Highly recommended ! See you all soon !

We were traveling from Lampeter, Wales to Oxford and this was a convenient place to stop for a bite to eat and drink. They were open for breakfast so had a choice from the hotel menu. Good selection self-service buffet, tea and coffee, and a list of items cooked to order. Our full English breakfast was served promptly and was very good. Staff very friendly and price reasonable. Would visit again if in the area.

We had a very distressing experience when myself, my husband and 3 of our friends visited this pub on 7th August 2016.Four of our meals arrived together; we waited for 5 minutes or so and then enquired if the 5th meal was on it's way. We noticed that while my friend waited for his meal to arrive, another 3 tables were served their food but after a few minutes more our remaining meal arrived. However at the first mouthful of his meal, my friend found that it was cold in the middle. He called the waitress to explain, she then took it back to the kitchen. Around a further 5 minutes later, the heated meal was brought back to the table - no apology was given even though by this time the rest of us were just finishing our meals. When myself and my friend went up to the bar to pay our bill as we were leaving, the young boy who had taken our order asked if everything was okay and I told him what had happened. The older lady behind the bar took offence for some reason although what I said was factual and said in a calm manner. She said that they had done everything that they could in the kitchen to get through a busy lunchtime and then got quite verbally aggressive, saying she would call her boss.l, for what reason I am not sure. Our waitress then came over and said that her boss was not in a good mood and told us to 'be warned'. The boss lady (I have no way of knowing whether she was the landlady or not, but it was implied by the staff that she was) then arrived and leaned over the bar towards us in a very threatening manner, just a few inches from my friend's face and screamed and swore at us. I was stunned!My friend then took a few steps back towards our table to check that the rest of our party had actually left the pub and a local man came over to him and asked what he was doing, saying if you're going back there looking for trouble...... I interrupted him and told him that the landlady was out of order for talking to us in that way. He said that he hadn't heard the earlier conversation, just the landlady screaming at us. I repeated that she was totally out of order. He followed us to the door - we were very glad to leave.I certainly won't be visiting here again.

We have passed this large pub/restaraunt many times on our way to the Forest or Wales but never stopped before.Having failed to find anywhere serving food after 2pm on a Monday we stopped at the Kings Head by chance, very large dining areas but we were only one group of about four other customers.The Kings head has a varied menu which includes a full roast dinner (veggie option available)for £3.50! I had the steak and kidney pie which was delicious, proper old fashioned pub grub.very generous helpings + the usual children's menu.OK so it's not gourmet style and the decor is a little dated but it's good affordable food.

Food good and came out for all 10 of us pretty much at the same timeStandard pub food, but cooked well and something on menu for everyone. Decor could do with a revamp:)

Always stop here for lunch on the way to my fishing breaks on the Wye. Friendly pub and often full of locals, a good sign. Traditional pub food, tasty and filling. Beer good. Phil Vickery shirt on wall a good sign.

You cannot ask for better value for the money. Good traditional, home cooked pub food. This is not a fast food outlet so expect a short wait. Only one small criticism, the TV in the background is a little loud.

Many visitors find this Pub/Motel when visiting Gloucester from Wales.I haven't tried accommodation but have eaten here many times.Sunday lunch is 5 star, both in service and servings.

Although a short drive/taxi into Cheltenham this jewel of a find was brilliant.The cost of the room is worth every penny (and more) !! Clean and modern they provide a good nights sleep followed by a nice fresh full English breakfast to set you on your way.The staff welcome you with open arms and after being there for just short a time we felt we had known them for years.Already booked to go back next year we would recommend this Inn to anyone travelling in the area. Thanks for making us welcome. Top Class

We booked a table forcus and our friend as they were moving away and to be honest wished we hadnt bothered sat in an empty pub waiting for our food and when it arrived it wasnt very good at all.Too much on the menu Come on guys a bit more effort by all means put up the price if its worth it we will pay

Food very good, staff very friendly. We visit quite often and will continue to do so. Recommend the faggots & lasagne also Marg's bread & butter pudding. The accommodation at The Kings Head is an ideal place to stay. Great place for children with a safe play park, they also have horses and goats which the children love.

Arrived at the Kings Head with a group of over 60 motorcyclists.We had prearranged the visit a week earlier so we're a little concerned that we would not all fit in.That was not the case.We were all found searing and served in good time.Food was good.Service efficient considering how busy they were.A nice pub in a good location.We shall return.
