The Kings Head Stutton in Babergh

Great for lunch and drinks on Saturday. Awesome fish and chips!! Came in after family cycling round reservoir and stayed at campsite round corner. Owners sorted us out some coffee for camp after forgetting to bring our own. A great touch. Mrs. Very happy now!!! Thank you!!

Delicious food, welcoming atmosphere,arrived as strangers left as friends 😀

Great vibe, staff were lovely and I enjoyed the food!

Food was cold and I am a vegetarian there was only one option. We went with friends and everyone was unhappy with the food presentation and most of the burgers were not cooked through properly and one of the guests didn't receive their food and made do with a plate of chips, not impressed with the service.

Good food and drink, pleasant atmosphere on a busy themed night - less impressed with confused entrance / exit health and safety marking which needs improvement.

Stayed here for a meeting at RHS Holbrook. Perfect location, helpful and pleasant staff. I had the upstairs suite, which was clean, comfortable and the kitchen area and lounge a nice surprise. A quirky entrance into the accommodation which I found quite amusing - but you will have to book to find out. I have another meeting at RHSB in May and will stay here again.

My family and I were staying locally for a few days. We rang and booked a table last minute as our plans had changed; I’m so glad we did! The pub is very traditional looking, but cosy. The staff were friendly and welcoming, taking our drinks and food orders promptly. They were also very accommodating with a request for our daughter. We enjoyed our starters but the mains were the highlight, in particular the sea bass dish which was delicious! We got chatting and it turns out that they have a new chef who is developing their new new menu. I’m sure it’ll be a hit with locals and visitors alike. Good luck to you and your team. We’ll definitely be back when we’re next in the area.

Great new chef! We had a delicious soup, lamb koftas, excellent burger and sea bass. A massive improvement and much friendlier, attentive new bar staff! Hooray!

A wonderful pub located in the pristine suffolk countryside offering great food and local beer, professionaly run by a great team

A fantastic unexpected visit to the Kings Head to learn they had a new chief with an amazing new menu! Couldn’t have asked for better home made food, fantastic welcome and happy staff. Open fire made the evening!

Wonderful little place ! Staff were super friendly and warm welcome from the get go ….. nice place and good super value food ! Rodeo burger was amazing …..top marks to you all at the Kings

Fantastic pub, wonderful staff, great food and well kept beer. The barmaid works incredibly hard keeping the locals happy whilst treating guests with the utmost professionalism

Loved this pub, so cute at Christmas time. Service was very good and the staff were amazing. The christmas dinner we had was great quality and delicious - pigs in blankets, beetroot wellington, sticky toffee puddings and cheesecake all fantastic. Prices about average. Highly recommend for a pub lunch or dinner in Suffolk.

Absolutely beautiful event with amazing carols for Xmas I couldn’t recommend it enough a truly beautiful old pub with excellent staff..the bar maid was wonder

Went for Christmas Dinner with my friend. It was the best Christmas Dinner I have had in years. Would highly recommend

Visited for a drink, nice welcoming atmosphere, blazing fire, typical historical village local with beams, didn’t eat but portion sizes looked generous for the Sunday Lunch.

Went for an evening visit to listen to some live music enjoyable time

I had chicken goujons for a starter, they were very over cooked and so chewy. Then our roast dinners were very bland, with no stuffing balls and an over cooked Yorkshire. Would not recommend. Expensive for the food we received.

Just spent a night here with my partner and family, in three of their B&B rooms in order to attend a 50th Birthday Party in the pub. Met by Holly the landlady/manageress when we arrived who was incredibly friendly and helpful and sorted out our rooms for us, We had the garden room, small but very well appointed with an ensuite toilet and shower, tea making facility and breakfast cereals included. Family had the other ground floor room and an upper room at the back of the pub, all equally well appointed. The pub catered brilliantly for 15 of us (and 3 dogs), food was plentiful and excellent quality and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. Would definitely recommend the pub, and the rooms are worth the stay.

Fantastic service from start to finish. We had the roast great portion size and very tasty. Compliments to the chef. busy but was still made to feel very welcome .

Passed by and stopped. Sunday dinner was delicious. Chicken roast, roast potatoes, 4 veg, stuffing. Friendly welcome and attractive staff. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone

Certainly did Sunday lunch proud

A good old traditional pub I have been coming to for many years. Sadly my last visit was for sad reasons (a wake) but the staff still went above and beyond and the food was exceptional.

Just the best evening as always, us lads cycle there for the Chicken Curry for an evening, the food, staff, service, friendliness, location and the heated gazebo are second to none.. we have been doing a ‘Curry Night On A Bike’ for many years and the experience just seems to get better. The manageress there is just absolutely amazing with us and looks after us blokes with banter brilliantly.. superb and always looking forward to the next evening there.

Really enjoyed our meal here first time visiting. Dogs welcome

After a long walk round Alton Water we fancied a sit down and a quick bite. Beautiful seating arrangements in the garden, sadly lots of posters regarding children having to remain seated when with adults, but considering we had no children with us, this wasn't an issue. Just the message was rather clear and present. Drinks served to garden patrons via a serving hatch which was quite cool. Then table serve for food and further drinks order was swift and so professional for a local pub. It was really nice to experience this. Food, usual pub grub but portions sizes and price as well as taste was up there and well worth it. Really enjoyed scampi and chips and for the veggie, mozzarella sticks with a side order of garlic bread. Would definitely visit again and with parking available, it's perfect for after walk refreshments or a family meal in the sun.

Great welcome from staff and pantrands considering the pubs past it's some how cosey

We were actually there for a wake ,which they made so lovely,food service and the place was amazing , definitely going back for a meal and drinks ,a really lovely pub

Very nice garden for drinks with friends

Excellent service, friendly staff and a great place to relax.

Staff very friendly lovely atmosphere would recommend

Service not as good as it used to be

When we went on a Saturday evening everything was perfect, the food, the service, even had water bowls for the dogs and would have given 4 stars for all. So we decided to go back on a Sunday Lunchtime, bad mistake, the menu wasn't as good, we went two hours within their opening time and they had run out of Steak and a special. The service was poor, the food which was our 2nd choice wasn't that great and no water bowls for dogs. So overall I have given 3 stars.

We had a fantastic time here a couple of weeks ago, we stayed at a local caravan site and visited the kings head for a meal on the Saturday night. The food was amazing, great quality, tasty and generous portions. The staff made us feel so welcome and like we were part of the community, everyone was really friendly. It’s also dog friendly which is a bonus! The pub garden is gorgeous and was really busy which is a good sign. We will definitely be back! :)

Fantastic service and food. Had a chicken curry and it was delicious. Very generous amount and would highly recommend the pub. The staff are very friendly and helpful too. Will definitely be going back.

Picked the home made chicken curry at £13.95. It was without doubt one of the worst meals I've had since lock down. The rice was dry, the chicken was dry, the curry was bland and to top it off the size of the meal for the money paid was day light robbery. Was highly recommended so very frustrating to have such a poor meal.

Very pleasant environment, lovely, friendly staff. Good value. This is basic pub fayre, but I've had much worse for my money. Portions are good. A very pleasant 3 hours or so.

First pub we tried was closed, next didn't serve food. Then we found the King's Head. Wonderful atmosphere. Welcoming staff. Superb food rapidly served. And very clean loos.

Lovely food, brilliant service, gorgeous surroundings. Reasonable prices with mains between £13 and £20. Generous serving sizes too!

We decided to call in without notice. Only a couple of diners on a sunny day. The beer garden was full. Food was excellent. Best prawn cocktail in ages. Roast chicken was home cooked and plentiful. One of the nicest I’ve had of late. Beautiful...

Great pub with very friendly service and great traditional pub food served piping hot.Would thoroughly recommend.

Such a warm welcome as we stopped for an early lunch on a long walk today. Huge, spaced out area outside with undercover seating too. Delicious food and huge portions! We both ordered from the tea room menu and bought a drink from the bar....

Delicious lunch in lovely beer garden with shaded tables in the sunshine! Perfect!

Great spot, didn't have food but the beers were spot on. A very bling ladies loo too !

Pleasant environment. Service welcoming ,polite and good. However some food of poor quality. Vegetable lasagne oily , swimming in oil , hardly any pasta , dreadful ! Appeared to of been the dregs out of a large tray from a cheap catering batch. One it...

Kind and attentive stuff. Good entertainment provided .

Camping nearby & had an excellent sunday roast. Good selection of well kept cask ales. Interesting & welcoming staff & locals alike. Dog friendly in the bar area and a well suited outside area & beer garden. Will be going & eating again.

We walked to the pub from Alton Water campsite, and we absolutely loved the food, service and atmosphere of this beautiful country pub. We'll be back next weekend for more of the same!

Absolute Gem of a pub, food was amazing, great ales, staff were so nice and their beer garden…amazing! Highly recommended.

Great food and great service for a celebration of my wife's birthday.

Good food. Comfortable pub resturant probiding goog value.

Amazing little find. Very interesting old little pup. Very quick and efficient service (big thanks to Holly). £7.50 for a very tasty ploughman's. One of the best pints of Wainwright I have had in a long time. Top class.

Fantastic experience ,first class food ,lovely staff great music what more do you need definitely worth calling in

Warm and nice welcome Great English brunch Good atmosphere Very reasonable

A very friendly, atmospheric and traditional country pub with a warm welcome.

Always a pleasure, so happy they serve breakfast at 10am now wooo!

Had lunch yesterday after seeing pub when leaving Alton Water. Food was brilliant and plenty of it. Highly recommended.

Lovely food and friendly staff.

On a chilly, early autumnal Monday evening, after a relaxing stroll around the beautiful village of Stutton, I decided to pop my head into the local pub, “The Kings Head”. Instantly the warmth hit me! Not only from the cosy feel of the country pub,...

Came here for a Sunday roast and was not disappointed. We had the beef which came with all trimmings (stuffing, yorkshire pudding and veg). Delicious food and large portion size. Bar staff very friendly and attentive. No one was rude like other reviews have suggested...

Nice seating areas outside. The food was not good- we had 2 of every starter and it was just frozen items chucked in a deep fat fryer. I could have bought this from Iceland and done it myself and saved the £90 bill. You expect...

Went there for Sunday lunch on 21.8.22. My mum had Sunday Roast with beef. Beef was very tough to cut. Asked waitress for a sharp knife to cut it. Got one. Still hard to cut through. As my mum is elderly I tried to cut...

On a hot and sunny day , it was good to be able to sit outside under a decent umbrella in good shade , and very comfortable. Good quality real ales - both very good. We all just had main courses , but everyone enjoyed...

Went to the kings head for Sunday lunch. Good service . Food was great. Very relaxing traditional pub

KH has been a go-to over the years for our family and under a variety of landlords. But the menu is static and there are fewer activities that drew people in. The village and the area are changing, new houses and more and more eateries...

Love this pub but it isn't the same as it used to be. Practically empty tonight so the weekly quiz didn't go ahead. Menu hasn't changed in years and is so boring. Feel so sorry for the staff as they are great but something needs...

We went for a Sunday lunch, essentially a roast (beef or chicken), although two had fish and chips and there were vegetarian options. Good selection of starters and desserts. Service was friendly and efficient. Good range of draft beers. Tried a special jubilee ale, most...

Sunday lunch for 4, arrived at 1.30, served 15 minutes later to be told they had run out of roast beef! Not a good start when roast beef is a traditional Sunday pub staple. The alternative was roast chicken. We were served dry and boring...

We live in the next village and normally go to our local. We decided to try something different for a change. I ordered my wife a 250 ml glass of white wine and myself a pint of San Miguel. There was a serving hatch into...

Arrived at six. A varied menu which catered for old and young alike. Portions were large and food well cooked. Service was friendly and swift. Choice of beer was limited, a low alcohol traditional bitter would have been helpful.

Great lunch we'll cooked and presented. Fresh Cromer crab great value. Toilets and restaurant spotlessly clean. Great service garden area fantastic

My son and I visited yesterday for lunch - great food, great service - all very clean and covid friendly!

Lots to choose from on the menu, Portion size and Quality is excellent, staff friendly and helpful Lots of seating in the garden

Takeaway fish and chips. Chips,fine. No peas, either garden or mushy. 'Don't do peas with takeaway". Dry fish. Soggy batter. OK. - the pub was very busy, but that is not an excuse for sub standard food. Had we been eating in, our meal would...

We were greeted by a lovely happy Lady who made us feel welcome. The starters, veggie spring rolls were very basic out of a packet placed in a deep fat fryer, the chilli dip was in a plastic throw away dish , salad just plain,...

These people are absolute heroes. We called them on a walk about an hour away - absolutely soaked. They directed us to them and greeted us with warm food and cold beer! They even kept open a little later for us. Amazing service and great...

Lovely food – traditional pub menu done really well. Very amiable staff. Heated gazebo was brilliant – spacious but cosy, perfect for vacillant mid-May weather, but equally good for a long warm summer evening. My favourite meal out this year 🏆

Great find. Lovely garden with gazebos. Brilliant service. Lovely Roast lunch. Slightly overdone veg if I am being really critical, although we will return!

Great place , lovely garden and pleasant food. Good service .Sunday Roast good - veg a little overdone but beef excellent

Excellent food, good beer and the garden is lovely to eat in. We sat in the summer house table 1 in the rear garden in the shade on a day of 30 degrees whilst staying at the Alton water camp site it’s less than a...

Went here last week for dinner food was nice but not keen on having beer and wine in plastic glasses and food on plastic plates. Everywhere else I’ve eaten still uses China and glass?? Especially as we are supposed to be cutting down on plastic...

Fantastic local pub! Lovely owners, couldn’t wish for a better local pub! Always looked after everytime we go in there.

Well done to the staff at The King’s Head for the way they have adapted to the pandemic. We couldn’t have been happier with their takeaway service. The booking/paying/collection service were easy - all added to by friendly staff. The food itself was excellent -...

What a stunning meal! Everything was perfect. Would highly recommend and will definitely be eating there in the future!!

Our small walking chose what we wanted to eat before we set off on our walk, a good choice from their menu and some from the specials board. The service was first class, we all got drinks from the bar before we sat at our...

Lunch here, came as had seen in passing and though looked nice. Pub is lovely, real character and charm sadly lacking any of that with bar staff. Older gentleman at bar completely ignored me and carried on chatting regardless. Other bar staff younger dark haired guy offered no welcome or greeting, we asked to eat then another couple came in behind us and were offered menus by being passed across us. We asked if we could have a menu then please! Food was ok nothing brilliant no check to see if we were ok, lady brought food out very pleasant, warm and chatty. Dark haired guy actually laughed at me when I paid bill for some reason, didn’t say thank you or ask if everything ok in fact hardly spoke at all. Found it very rude and it did actually upset me my partner was equally unhappy. Put some proper staff on welcome and would be lovely, sadly would not go back based on this experience. Was not made to feel welcome at all.

We were camping up the road and dropped in for a quick dinner, we ended up returning the next two days! Generous portions, great service, the garden is very pretty and offers lots of shade. The curry night was fab, the live music set a fantastic atmosphere and the food was delicious.

We dropped in here on Saturday for lunch to be fair a little apprehensively as the outside really doesn't do it justice. What we found was lovely garden area, good value interesting menu, friendly greeting and the food served was a pleasant surprise. the blue cheese sauce was of a really good quality served with the steak quite often they are sad grey colour but this one was non of that. Well cooked chips and nicely fresh salad all in all good traditional well presented quality food at a reasonable price well served. We will be back for sure.

First visit here and it definitely won’t be the last. Warm welcome, lovely surroundings including a pretty garden, good service and excellent food. Prices very reasonable. Will definitely be back to this wonderful pub. 😊

Simple as that. Good pub food. Helpful and friendly staff kept us well watered, well fed and a lovely place to lunch. Generous portions and still "pub food" without being too hipster or too old fashioned.

What a lovely afternoon we all had. This is the first time my friend and I have been to this pub my partner had been several times before. The garden is stunning several seating areas which made it feel secluded. Also a very nice outside loo so no need to go traipsing through the pub. The food was good price and very tasty. There was just one thing that let it down and that's the awful plastic flowers scattered around the otherwise perfect garden. All in all a definite thumbs up from us.

Menu has changed. Not for good. If it’s not fried it cold. If it’s cold apart from crab salad with CHIPS it’s the ham on a ham egg & chips. Nothing with mash, no pasta dish, no chicken, & vegetarian or vegan, well forget it.

A great, friendly welcome in the bar and superb garden area at the side of the pub. Met three of my family there with two of their dogs. Had a family lunch here and was utterly impressed by the ambiance of the place, the beautiful garden - probably the best I've seen by a pub and the quality of the food. I had gammon, two egg and chips from the specials board, two others had ham, two eggs and chips and the final one had scampi, chips and peas. The chips, we all agreed, were the best triple-cooked ones any of us have ever tasted.

Walked in, nice atmosphere. Although, tables were dirtier that a council estate bathroom. The food, although well priced looked like it had been slapped together by stevie wonder himself. The beef was so undercooked I expected to hear a “moo.” The wine list was also lacking, like my wife’s sexual desires.

This pub is located in an excellent location, next to the campsite and near the station. The atmosphere was very friendly and there was a fun entertainment on Friday night where a musician was playing on the piano and everyone was dancing! The foods were amazing! We had roast dinner on Sunday and it was delicious! The family dog was so adorable. The garden is very pretty and there are lots of seats to choose from! The owners and staff are so lovely and I definitely will come back to The Kings Head again in the summer.

We stayed in the same area for the weekend and went to Kings Head for lunch, amazing atmosphere, fantastic food and plenty of drink selections! There was live music to keep us entertained. The owner is so kind and very welcoming. It was so good we came back the next day! Hugely recommended!

Close to caravan site. Busy, but service was exceptional. Food delicious with large portions. Friendly and helpful staff.

We eat here regularly but rarely think to review. It’s a lovely pub/restaurant with a very friendly atmosphere. Landlord, Landlady & all the staff are lovely. Nothing ever seems to be too much trouble! I’m not a fussy eater but I do have dietary restrictions & they are always willing to change or swap bits around in order to accommodate my needs.

Such a fantastic traditional Suffolk pub with lovely food and excellent selection of real ales. The landlord and landlady always make us very welcome. Its a real joy being at the Kings head.

We had all chosen our meals in advance because there were so many of us. We had an area just for our group. there were 2 long tables and a circular 'top table'. It was nice and warm, good service and helpful staff. My rare sirloin steak was just right, served with nice crunchy chips, onion rings,mushrooms, peas and tomatoes..Several of us on the table had the baileys cheese cake and cream which was absolutely delicious.
