The King's Head Inn in Redcar and Cleveland

Great pub rustic old world bar service a bit slow food very good and quick a bit pricey you pay for the ambiance car parking a bit tight if you spend over £10 you get it free for 2hrs

This is just a review of the food. It was very bland and overcooked. Group of 7 and we all said the same. Teriyaki with Bream with a couple of bits of bream and hardly no Teriyaki sauce. Basically just a plate of rice. Roast beef Sunday dinner potatoes overcooked. They bring out the vegetables separately a little of bit gravy so had to ask for more. Don't mess with a traditional Sunday roast keep it all on one plate. Another order was two dinners but they only brought out one set of veg to share. We asked for another portion as you are paying for a portion of veg with each dinner. They are over priced and quality is low. The place is beautiful staff were friendly and helpful. This is just the food the rest is amazing.

Called in for a drink whilst hiking and climbing Rosebery Topping. Quieter than expected for Easter Sunday. Nice pub.

the restaurant is nice but charged me £19 when the things i ordered added up to £9 absolutely ridiculous, the food wasn’t even worth the money i shoukd have spent

Excellent service, good food and a great nights sleep

No prosecco on Saturday afternoon

Lovely place, staff very welcoming, great beer garden, only downfall is after 2 hours being charged for parking

Called for meal it was okay... Car parking is a bit confusing lol... Nice place

I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Me and my friend both ordered pepperoni parmos. (Only ordered because I’ve had them from here before, multiple times) and our order was accepted. We sat and waited and not one of us received a pepperoni parmo, we both received different orders - even though we ordered the same thing. The Attitude on the young girl was shocking. She had an answer for everything, but her answers had no meaning, she just kept repeating her self but didn’t make a single bit of sense. Terrible experience. Never again.

2 night stay - made to feel very welcome by helpful and professional staff - food was good - room comfortable and clean - only minor grumble was towel rail red hot all the time!

We haven't been here for a while so decided to visit with family. We ordered 3 roast dinners, one of which was supposed to be a large but was exactly the same as the other two. The waitress asked if we would like any sauces ect, I politely asked if we got veg with the roast, she very abruptly said yes it will be coming out shortly, we then waited around 10minutes for this to arrive. I've worked in hospitality for years and years and the veg should always be served first, then the dinners so everything is still hot. We were also quite disappointed with the amount of dust on all of the surfaces. The parking situation is also very unclear.

nice pub but a cash cow. my experience was marred by car parking charges after two hours. we had stoped to get a drink and food after walking rosebery topping. they have a £3.50 parking charge which is reimbursed if you spend a tenner in the pub...so no issue with that. however, we had to wait a long time for food. again no issue with that. however, overheard staff telling other customers that after the two hours you have to keep paying car parking charges. we spent 37 quid on a bit of food and they're expecting me to pay to park again. to much hassle and poorly thought out system, more designed to trap you then offer fair parking dor customer's verses non customer's. i will not go there again on the strength of this. pizza was a bit naff too. however, it was nice inside and food was ok and priced ok. drinks a bit pricey. one pint and one non-alcoholic bottle of beer costing over ten pounds. its a cash cow place. so if they're busy you will feel rushed to finish food and drink or will have to pay for the privilege to eat mediocre light bites. I'm sure the hotel part is lovely. nice area.

Rubbish food. Luke warm Sunday dinner. The supervisor admitted it was microwaved when I complained about the cold mash. They asked if I wanted it re-heating. No thanks! Fish and chiops had inedible fish. Never going back there again!

We visited the Kings Head for a meal as part of my partner's daughters birthday celebrations.Overall,we were disappointed,we did visit at a busy period and were told there would be a 45 minute wait for food.Our food actually didn't start to arrive until 2 hours later.One of our party discussed with a male member of the staff about the first 2 hours of free parking,our problem was we would of exceeded the 2 hours limit due to the delay in our food being served.We requested some parking dispensation, however,we were abruptly told it was our problem to sort out. When the meal arrived all starters were acceptable,3 of the main courses were okay.However,one of our party had the veggie option which was not edible and the Pie option was totally un appetizing.My partners daughter went to the bar and spoke with a manager and we did receive a sizeable refund for the meal costs. On the good side,the floor staff were really trying to do their best and one kind lady got our toddler some crayons and paper to play with.The toilets were very clean.The manager whom dealt with our refund, also listened to our complaints and offered the refund.In conclusion, it would seem the problem, with this pub is in the kitchen.

We've eaten at the Kings Head on many occasions over the years, the food was always OK but nothing special. The four of us went there this Saturday, it was very busy and we were warned in advance that it would be an hour before we got our lunch, OK we accepted that. I wanted a chicken parmo but that was no longer available so I went for the burger. One of our party wanted a vegetable curry and was later told that was no longer available so went for a cauliflower steak with satay sauce. After an hour of waiting patiently, our lunch arrived. The simple bacon, brie and cranberry toasty was burnt to a crisp and after pointing this out, the waiter said "so you'd like that replaced?" - how did they let that leave the kitchen? The so-called cauliflower steak was a few bits of boiled caulifour swimming in a soup of "satay sauce" bordering on the inedible, my burger with cold chips actually made me regret we hadn't gone the McDonalds, the "game stew" was tough and tasteless. This pub clearly plays on its location to Roseberry Topping and is dog friendly which is really nice but standards have dropped to the point where we definitely won't be going back.

Ordered 2 parmos and waited one hour 25 minutes to be served it. We had put 2 hours on the car parking so felt like we rushed eating when we eventually got the food. The food wasn’t great, very small portions, burnt chicken around the edges, not much sauce on the chicken, ‘thick cut’ chips were actually skin on fries which were greasy and hard, ‘dressed salad’ was a handful of dry leaves. It tasted ok ish but not worth £16.50 and such a small portion that we had to grab snacks on the way home. The service was terrible. Never told how long the wait would be when ordering and when we eventually got the food it was placed on the table with no apology for the long wait and we were never asked if everything was ok throughout eating the meal. The whole experience was disappointing and we will not be returning.

Visited to have a meal and some drinks with family. Food was delicious and very well priced, staff were friendly and courteous. Ordered parmo, pan fried liver, burger and a pizza and all was very nice. Will visit again. Forgot to take photos of food 😂

Game casserole absolutely gorgeous Good price too Comfy seating

Came for a meal with the family, the chicken curry was not nice the sauce was thick and had a few pieces of chicken which looked brown. The sauce was very strong and also when served looked like been left for a while before served as had a dark skin on top the sauce. Suppose to come with a mint dip which was missing and asked for chips instead of rice. The chips are scabby scraps. Then when got home had a bad stomach and spent much of my evening on the toilet. The parmo was lovely but again the chips are scabby. The pizza was lovely and the deserts. We did get 2 kids ice creams free all of £2 each due to the curry being not good. Not much of a curry really a little bowl with few chips should really be served with naan and poppadoms for the £17 it cost. Don’t think I would return really let it down. Good job ordered desert as I was starving still and I don’t really eat a great deal.

We visited August last year 2024....Great place to visit, staff very friendly & very attentive

We popped in for lunch after a walk. Lovely friendly staff. Food was great. Also dog friendly

Nice cosy modern pub in a lovely location

Set in a quaint village this Inn seems to be on a roll. Each time I have been there, even at lunchtimes the place is busy and buzzing. Great service, fab food, (new head chef I hear), cosy atmosphere and a covered family friendly area outside. The accommodation (separate building) looks good. Don't forget to log your car registration at the bar to get free parking.

A great Inn. Really welcoming and helpful team, really good decor, food and excellent choice of beer. My room was quite small but perfectly formed. Breakfast was brilliant,eggs royal...highly recommend the winter deals. Amazing value.

Floor staff did their best but food was cold, muddled up and took a long time to come. Possibly short staffed when we were there?

Food is absolutely amazing. Friendly staff

A great place to stopover,at for a night. Good food.

We stopped here for a couple of nights. The rooms are detached from the pub, which in practice should make it quieter, but unfortunately, the floorboards are incredibly squeaky, so if you're on the ground floor, you'll hear every movement above you. The heating is also hard to control, this led to our rooms being too hot overnight. This combined with the noise meant we got very little sleep. Shame as everything else was great, friendly staff, good food and selection of drinks and in a nice location. Just let down by the room.

Very clean .Well decorated .Food wasn't best

Be aware that there could be a lengthy wait for food when it's busy or a Bank holiday. Apart from the wait everything was perfect. The home made chips are outstanding

Meet with friends - food awful. Small plate fish and chips anemic. Not crisp and fish like mush and served up-side down. Chips undercooked. Will not be revisiting - mentioned to staff and no acknowledgement of complaint. We love many Inncollection hotels - BS Helmsley for example is fantastic but won't be back here.

Nicely presented pub. Decent range of beers and the menu looked great.

Two glorious days spent in a fantastic area and accommodation to match Two happy guests

Unfortunately this was the worst experience and review I have given I had been recommending to visit I ordered 3 starters prawns which I will say were very nice fish cake average and chicken wings terrible more bone than meat. I was disappointed that after we I had finished finished eating and the establishment was only a quarter full the waiting staff female that had severed us walked past twice not takeout finished plates nor asking if our food was ok. I never leave a poor review but this experience has definitely given me a negative impression of The Kings Head.

Food is outstanding. The steak was perfectly cooked, best sauces I've ever tasted. Sure it's not cheap but then for this amount of flavour you wouldn't expect it to be. Could have eaten it twice and yes, I'd love a bigger portion but I just can't fault the flavour and how it was cooked. The staff were friendly and professional. The Kings head is situated in the shadow of Rosebery Topping so the scenery is just amazing. Go for a walk, then stop by the Kings Head for some spectacular grub. Breakfast is served from 07.00 every day of the week up until 11.00am. The full English is just the thing to refuel after an early morning hill side stroll. Highly recommend it.

Spotless in all areas. Staff very pleasant and great food

First and last time I'll be visiting. £20 for the worst hot shot parmo I've ever had. Greasy battered chicken not even 1cm thick and tiny. Everyone I've spoken to said they used to be great, what happened?!

Called in after a warm 7 mile circular around roseberry topping and captain cooks monument, mrs ordered chicken skewers which came with a side of proper chips, I went for the roast beef sandwich with proper chips and a little jug of gravy, both were spot on, definitely worth a visit.

Stopped for drinks after a walk. Friendly and welcoming. Nice outside area when the weather is nice also a covered area at the back.

First visit in a long time went for Dinner 7.30pm. If you are a vegetarian you will really struggle, very minimum option. The waiter was very attentive.

Convenient stopover for Cleveland Way hikers. The pub is situated directly on the A173, with some rooms facing the busy noisy road. Paid £160 per night, for a mediocre stay. The food is acceptable, and the place caters well to walkers.

Lovely location and nicely decorated with a country theme! Very doggy friendly! Drinks on the pricey side and food just okay.

Everything was top notch. The service, our room and the cleanliness was second to none. It must be said that the wi-fi was nonexistent and the phone signal spasmodic. I understand that moves are afoot to solve the problem.

It’s a wonderful little pub that’s right beside Roseberry Topping. Went after a walk to get some food and it was absolutely delicious, both presentation & the taste was amazing. The atmosphere is lovely and the staff are super polite. Everyone who goes for a walk around that area should always visit this place right after to unwind. :)

Nothing wrong with the place but food and drink prices a bit steep for what they offered and rooms a bit small given their price. Pleasant and personable team but a bit haphazard in approach. Weather during visit was poor so didn't get to explore the area as we had planned

I had a delightful Sunday luncheon with my family. The meal was served promptly. The turkey was quite flavorful, as were the accompanying vegetables. I will be returning.

Rooms are great, the staff are great. It's a really nice place to stay, the food is cracking, just go in hungry if you plan on ordering the Parmo . Special mention have to be made to Evie and Bobby, leading a team that make everyone (and "man's best friend") welcome. Can't recommend highly enough

Visited here on good Friday. Food was terrible and for the price really was not worth it. So disappointed as last time we visited it was lovely. Won't be coming back.

We love the area and this place is a fantastic location if you're into walking. We stayed one night and the room was satisfactory, full breakfast was really nice and you can help yourself to as much tea, coffee, toast as you want, staff also welcoming. Only issue we had was the price of everything. Just a tad too expensive for what you get, in the evening we both had mussels and although tasty were absolutely tiny, almost more like cockles. My wife had the partridge satay skewers starter which tasted more of chicken, not much different to the ones you buy in a supermarket. Hope things improve. Not sure I'll return apart from the odd pint until there's the odd change.

Great food. My daughter and her boyfriend loved the loaded chips! Friendly service. Dogs welcome !

Liz we went here today lovely clean restaurant staff friendly and helpful, the food was lovely all four of us enjoyed all our meals ,if any complaint would be the prawn starter although the best prawns I've had for a long time you only got 3 for £12 and a piece of non buttered french bread we did voice this and were offered desserts as an apology which we didn't want the owner was sorry and said it was the size they were told to serve and they'd had a few complaints We would definitely go again .

Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The pub is lovely, well furnished, decorated and very clean. It’s on the expensive side £4.95 for a pint of Theakstons compared to £3.90 in my local. They definitely weren’t the best pints either (photo attached). Lunch portions were generous, however, the food was average at best. Perhaps caught them on a bad day. Cracking location after having a walk up Roseberry Top. Dog was very welcome which is always good.

I had a lunchtime meal with some relatives here. The pub has a cosy atmosphere and has plenty of room for guests. The food was tasty and the service was good. The King's Head is popular with walkers as it's situated near Roseberry Topping and you can join a footpath leading from the premises. It's a nice place and family-friendly.

I came years ago, and it was a nice place. Therefore, I suggested it when I had friends and family up after Christmas. We waited for one and a half hours for food to come out and was told of 'no wait'. We went up and asked 3x, and the food came out at different times and they even still managed to forget one of our orders. No apology was given, and portions were small. As this was between Christmas and New Year, I chose to believe that this may have been a one-off. It was not. We went back in today, and I asked specifically at the bar, "Is there a wait for food?" "No" (it was quieter than my last visit, so I was happy). I ordered the £17.50 Large Chicken parmo, with thick cut chips and salad, and a £16 Chicken Tandoori curry, rice, and Roti We waited 50 minutes (with a walk to the bar to ask where ours was, and to see tables who ordered after us get their food). When it arrived, there was no apology (again), and the parmo had frozen fries on the plate. It's cheaper and nicer getting it from a fast food takeaway. My curry was annoyingly nice. However, I wouldn't say 4 or 5 small bits of chicken in curry sauce is a "Main". It was very disappointing overall.

Great place for drinks and food, excellent children's play area

Only had a hot chocolate after walking up Roseberry Topping but menu looked good. Nice atmosphere

Made it for Sunday Lunch and wasn't disappointed. Portion size just right with fresh vegetables, roast beef and a large Yorkshire pudding. Will return.
