The Kings Head - Vintage Inns in Stratford-on-Avon

I took 20 Walking Footballers to the Kings Head today for Festive lunch . Orsi/Clare/Matt were superb, the service was excellent, the food was fantastic and everyone had a great time . We look forward to returning soon . Thank you Kings Head

Organised for 18 of us to meet for lunch. Ordered ahead and the pub did so well to deliver the right dishes on time. Very good value for money and pleasant happy staff.

Visited with colleagues for a booked Christmas dinner with pre-ordered meals. Understandably we were asked to be there in good time because of the busy-ness of the season. Less understandable was the glacially-slow service; our starters didn't arrive for over an hour, with mains an hour after that - with the meal for one member of the group being forgotten (despite being on the list that was brought out by the staff for confirmation) so that individual had to wait a further 15 minutes before the chosen meal could be prepared. The food was of satisfactory quality but not good enough to justify the excessive waiting. As one member of the party commented "Well, it could be worse". We won't be returning.

We had been once before, last month, and the service was extremely slow. But we came again because the food was good and we hoped the service was just an exception. Unfortunately, this time was much worse. Our starters took nearly an hour to arrive. I know they're busy at Christmas but there were more staff and they would know how many bookings they had. They should have planned round it. This time the food was not the best quality either. The fish starter was burnt at the edges and rubbery. One of the main courses had cold meat on it. Also one of the side dishes missing. We had to ask about this twice and had finished most of the main course when it finally came. We chose not to complain at the time because by that time we were just hungry. But we will definitely not be returning.

Went for lunch to celebrate my Mums birthday. We were really disappointed with the food, all 4 roast dinners came out barely warm. It’s as shame as I’ve had some good food here before, but it’s so hit and miss these days, I wouldn’t be rushing back.

I've been serviced by this waitress twice and I love her! Thank you for looking after us xx

Great food and service, especially by Morgan.

We stopped by for a pint and Lunch after our walk around the town. Great service, nice warm and friendly pub. Thank you.

We had a fantastic Sunday lunch 😋 I booked on line which was an easy process, including requesting a high chair for the toddler in our party. We turned up about an hour early and without hesitation the staff accommodated us which was amazing. The waitress who served us was knowledgeable, calm, friendly, and answered questions easily. The food was absolutely delicious, so please thank the chefs. Also, everything was reasonably priced!. I'm local and haven't been here before and I felt very proud that my visitors from different parts of the UK had such a positive experience. Thank you so much!

Had an excellent meal tonight. Really rate the lamb shank and the service was spot on. Thankyou Morgan and complements to Przemek, Tarron and Olly for the food

Clare and Lana made my birthday breakfast very special this morning, I even got sang too. Breakfast was amazing, service incredible and I was made to feel so special today. 5 star service as always. Thank you 😊

A nice, well appointed comfortable room. The evening meal and breakfast were both good and the quality was very good. The staff were very polite and friendly

Excellent hotel room clean breakfast was superb, full English breakfast top quality, nice friendly staff.

Staff were friendly, service was good, food was average. However the staff had an annoying habit of trying to upsell even when it was stupid to do so - for instance when we'd all ordered our round of drinks, she asked if we wanted "wine for the table" - for 5 people (one under 18) why on earth would we additionally want a bottle of wine "for the table"? Similarly every time we ordered something, we were asked if we additionally wanted something else. This was really irritating. I understand upselling but when it's clearly a stupid question to ask, it just annoyed us, quite frankly!

Welcoming friendly pub and dog friendly too Really good Sunday lunch & great service Thank you 😊

Excellent lunch had here served by Morgan. Great service and great food. Came as table of 3 and all looked after really well. The starters mains and desserts were excellent.

Average is being kind. Poor quality food, poor sized portions, with no presentation whatsoever. A desert came out which looked like a three year old had plated it up. Ate here a few years ago and it was very good so not sure if it has changed hands as it’s extremely poor by comparison. Sorry but would not recommend

Food was excellent as was the service. I did not know dogs were allowed in the restaurant area. A dog was allowed in and it was not a guide dog. I understand there us a dig friendly area where owners can eat.

Lovely meal Libby was fantastic and made our evening. The service was first class and catered for one guest with coeliac very well. Highly recommend thank you Libby

I just want to write and say a massive thank you to Ellie for her amazing customer service this evening a massive credit to the team with her amazing work keep up the amazing work lovely will pop in again soon deffo recommend everyone to come here she's the best

Today we had lunch, we were welcomed by your staff and served superb food by Morgan, who was exceptionally helpful and friendly. This is the second time we have eaten in your hotel and can’t wait for the third time !! Thank you

Poor value for money in the restaurant. Small portions and a long wait to be served. Hotel itself and rooms are fine.

We eat here on a regular basis. Always good food. Thankyou to libby who was very welcoming.

We popped in at 5.30 on a Sunday on the off-chance they still had any roast dinners left and 20minutes later we had two gorgeous lamb dinners in front of us! A roaring fire, cosy, relaxed atmosphere. Perfection! Perfect portions, perfectly cooked, and extra gravy on request!

Poor quality food for the price,had a Sunday lunch was Poor portion for the price stuff missing from the dinner 🍽 other stuff sold and this was at 2pm in the afternoon.

Nice pub with good service. It was disappointing though that a few of the options that were listed as “gluten free” were fried in the same fryer as glutenous items so not safe for coeliacs to eat. Such as fish and chips and the Camembert bites. Had I known this beforehand we probably wouldn’t have come. It seems pointless saying they are gluten free when in fact, when served, they are not. This is misleading and potentially dangerous.

Excellent service from Libby, well priced with great food

We had the three course weekend special dinner menu. Excellent. All three courses eating things we have seen on Masterchef! Scallops, kalamari, sauces that I remember how to spell! Served by a waitress, Libby, who was attentive, thoughtfuland sincere. Warmly recommend and we will be back!

Had a really good meal here this evening. We were served by Tony who was excellent throughout and recommended the Pie of the Day - a great choice! It was delicious! Duck pizza was different and very well received. Reasonable prices and good quality food.

We went to the kings Head in Welles orne for Sunday lunch. Unfortunately I believe the roast potatoes were deep fried as they were the same golden colour all over and not crispy. Broccoli, carrots snd parsnips were all undercooked and the cauliflower cheese was just a bowl of very over cooked cauliflower so it was mush with very little cheese. It was very disappointing so unfortunately we will not be returning for a Sunday roast again or recommending it to our friends or family.

We had a lovely meal earlier today at The Kings Head Wellesbourne. Morgan our server was very polite and helpful. Would highly recommend a visit.

The information provided by Inkeepers Collection prior to confirming an online booking (for accommodation) is confusing at best and misleading at worst. I booked on the basis of this cancellation policy (screenshot attached) which came up prior to pressing Confirm. I understood the ‘rate’, referred to in the first paragraph, to mean the price at which the booking was secured could not be changed, e.g. if there was suddenly a special offer I would have to stick with the price I had booked and could not change this if a better deal came up. I cancelled the day before and I am not being refunded, despite my emails of protestation.

Service was excellent and friendly Our waitress Morgan was great. Will certainly return.

Amazing service from start to finish, food was brilliant. We were in a large group and everything ran very smoothly, we couldn’t have been happier. Libby and Ellie were excellent and we would like to say a big thank you to them for making our evening so special.

Lovely big pub with very friendly staff, dog friendly also . We had a meal and it was lovely.

delicious food, fabulous service, lovely ambience, been a few times always a pleasure

Popped in for a meal on the way back from Birmingham Airport, fantastic service even though we were an hour early from our booked reservation the staff accommodated us immediately. Had the pan fried lamb which was one of the the best meals I have tasted for a long time, highly recommended. Will definitely visit again

I had a great dinner at the King’s Head. Our waitress- Libby was very welcoming and friendly. She made sure that we had everything we wanted. The food was fast and efficient. Would definitely recommend the Sunday Lunch!

Recently visited this pub with friends and had a lovely experience! The staff were friendly and our waitress Libby ensured we felt right at home. The menu offered a great variety of dishes, and everything we ordered was delicious and well-presented. Overall, it’s a great spot to unwind with friends or family. I’ll definitely be returning!

Excellent service. We had one member of our party who has a citrus allergy. Our waitress (Morgan) made sure that everything was checked with the kitchen. Very professional. All good with food and good value for money.

great little find on our journey back from Cornwall, food and the service was great.

I visited for lunch with my parents a few days ago on Sunday. Libby served us, who was very helpful and friendly! The food was also very nice - we would recommend the Sea Bass! Thank you for the wonderful customer service. We will definitely come back!

Great lunch. Very good food. Libbys service was charming and friendly.

We were travelling around the Stratford upon Avon and went to Wellesbourne. Saw the King's Head and decided to pop in and we both had a sandwich servedxwitb fries. Excellent, we'll definitely going back in the near future.

Our server was Kirsty and she was very attentive. The food was bril!

Very nice food, the pub is lovely and a great find! Our server was Kirsty and she was great.

Had a lovely experience, our waitress Kirsty was very efficient and friendly. Food was tasty!

Great service from the top bar man Matt again,fantastic job..

What a lovely surprise to see Matt back following his break, service great at the bar again !!!!!

First class service at all times

Been here a few times now, and every time the warming service and professionalism from Matt shouldn’t go unnoticed.

A lovely visit, very helpful staff. Especially the bar service, very polite and attentive service from Matthew as always, he’s been well and truly missed whilst on his annual leave. Great to have him back on the bar !!!

A great place to dine or have a few beers with friends. Always made to feel welcome by Orsi and the team. A special mention to Matt Whitehouse who always ensures lunchtimes are a fun occasion.

Had a gorgeous Sunday roast. Thank you to Kirsty for the great service!

Wonderful experience at the kingshead today quality of beer great and the service from Mat was excellent thank you

Nice cosy pub and good choice of food and drinks, matt was very helpful with drink and food choice

We came in the other day for an evening meal and the food was perfect. Kirsty was our server.

We visited the Kings Head today for sunday lunch and despite having booked the wrong day, they were able to accommodate and give us a table. There was a bit of a wait on food, however this was communicated with us prior to ordering by our waitress Kirsty. She was great and the food was delicious. Thank you, we will be back!😄😄😄😄😄

We visited the kings head yesterday, the food was lovely! Our server was Kirsty and she was great. I highly recommend

Haven’t eaten here for a long time and the food was lovely. Freshly cooked and good portion sizes. Had Hunters Chicken Schnitzel which was just lovely and husband had steak which he said was cooked perfectly. Plenty of free parking and nice outside area front and rear.

Great service from Kirsty and sunday lunch was fantastic!

I was at the kings head with my grandparents and we had a great meal. Our server was Kirsty and she was very accommodating! Thank you.

Stayed for a night while visiting friends in Warwickshire. The room was clean and comfy, we had dinner and drinks in the restaurant which was lovely too. The service by Orsi and her team was brilliant- highly recommended!

We had a great time with friends. Food was delicious - nice vegetarian/vegan options. Great wine selection:) we really enjoyed our dinner at the pub. Thanks to the team!

Libby was excellent.Worth 6 stars 🌟

Libby was great, the service was excellent thanks Libby and the food was good too 😊

The lady who served us, Morgan was so lovely and kind, she made us feel welcome.

First time we have been there lovely food I think the gentleman who served us was Tony very attentive and friendly would certainly recommend and go again

Lovely meal and Fabulous waitress Morgan very chatty and lovely personality. Lovely Room . Infact all the staff we have encountered have been welcoming and helpful.

My friend and I had lunch there with our babies. The food was nice but the service was slow in terms of being seen to by staff, although I put that down to only 2 staff members working at that time. Myself and others stood at the bar for quite a while waiting for someone to come and serve us, although the food did come out fairly quickly. There wasn’t anywhere to change the babies (to my knowledge) which for a family pub would be nice. It was an okay experience I just think if the staff were more attentive and there was changing facilities that would have made it better.

Nice room and good food with excellent service. Really lovely staff made all the difference.

My husband and I had a lovely meal at The Kings Head. Service was very quick thanks to Morgan. The food was delicious but filling so sadly didn’t have room for pudding. Great location, highly recommended 😊

Went for a meal here food very good at very reasonable prices , staff were well trained and very attentive at all times definitely would go back .

What a great pub. Food was the best we had had for a while. Staff were very attentive and served with a smile. Would highly recommend.

Stopped by for a Sunday evening meal. We did not book and the place was busy but we were given a table straight away. The menu offered plenty of choice and the food was delicious. We really enjoyed our meals and desserts. We were served by Morgan who was polite and provided an excellent service.

Staff very helpful and food lovely

we requested a quiet corner for our meal, the table was ideal and Tony, our waiter was excellent.

Passed this pub on the way home on a Sunday afternoon. Had hoped to order food, and perhaps eat outside. The garden area was mostly taped up in Black and Yellow crime tape! not sure what had gone on? Not inviting to say the least. Needless to say we continued on our way home.

Nice restaurant, great food and service.

The first impression when we arrived was that it stank of cow dung. Second: that the water in the toilet practically does not flow, to which we received the answer that this is normal and gave us another room. Third: view from the window of the cemetery.

Really nice place to stay, rooms very cosy. Had dinner at the restaurant and the food was first class, best burger I’ve had in a long time, my partner had the Sea Bass which she said was Devine! Would thoroughly recommend dining here, the bill was about average that you would pay for a quality three course meals and drinks.

The staff were all lovely- we were served by Morgan who was very attentive and friendly. The food was lovely especially the lasagna! Thank you!

Lovely food and great service from Morgan

Large pub, nicely laid out. Plenty of parking and easy to find. Food was good and staff were helpful. Selective eater was happy with meal as were the rest of us. Will return when next in the area.

Fantastic service and really friendly customer service

Lovely pub Fabulous food . Friendly staff & good service

Booking a table was simple from the website and the food was superb. The staff were friendly and efficient- would definitely recommend

This is our first visit to Kings Head and the service from Morgan was amazing. She was such an attentive young lady. In terms of the meal. Again , this was amazing. Well presented and the flavours sent a party in our mouth. We will be back.

Had lovely lunch at The Kings Head - service was fantastic and Amaryllis looked after us beautifully - made my 86 year old mother smile

The staff were absolutely amazing, great service and even better food!!

Friendly staff, good service and the food was lovely

Had a lovely lunch on Monday 29th July. The food was great. Had the 3 course lunch special. Lovely choice on menu,well cooked and well presented,and also very good portions. Served by Clare who was very attentive. Will certainly come again

We had an excellent visit and stay at The Kings Head. The room we had (9) was comfortable and ideal as a base for our visit. The shower was probably the best I’ve used in any hotel I’ve stayed in. Location was very quiet despite being on a main road and there were some lovely walks to be had. All the staff we encountered throughout our stay were friendly and helpful; a special mention to Libby, who waited on us for our evening meal and ensured that we were well looked after despite being rushed off her feet. The evening meal we had was very nice and cooked to order, breakfast was ordered off a menu and again cooked fresh to order and well worth the wait. I would recommend this establishment to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in the area.

Our server Morgan was very helpful!!!

Lovely Food and good portion sizes Great service with a smile

Nice comfortable room. Good quality meal and service from waitress Libby. Enjoyable stay.

My wife and I decided to go for sunday lunch today despite not being able to get food on our previous two visits. My wife only wanted a smaller portion and we were informed it we would have to pay the full price (fair enough) and just let them know at the bar when placing our order. I duly went to the bar to order two beef Sunday lunches only to be told they had ran out of beef and this was within 2 hours from the start of service. Also the garden garden furniture is in a very poor condition and the garden itself is in a condition that I can only describe as a complete state. Needless to say I won't be returning!

I brought my mum here for dinner and I give 4 stars overall due to waiting for ages to get our food and when we did, the portion size was on the small side. Things you'd expect as part of your meal, like onion rings with a steak, were a pay for extra. However, it was clear they were short staffed and the service we received from Morgan was outstanding, as was the quality of the meal. I would recommend this place on the service alone, just don't expect much on the plate with a main course.

Lovely food and fantastic service from Kirsty L. Definitely go back again. Would recommend to anyone. The sweet was very good.
