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

We called for a light lunch on 10 April. It was disappointing. The chicken salad I chose was not great and the chicken was very tough and slightly pink in the middle. I mentioned this at the time.

Rather disappointing! We went for Mother's Day. There was a set menu which only offered three courses - I would have preferred two. The roast potatoes were quite rubbery, not crispy at all. The roast beef was quite chewy. One of our party had fish and chips which they ordered with garden peas, but it came with mushy peas; this mistake was not corrected and no compensation was offered. Our waiter seemed more interested in setting up the dinning room for breakfast the following day than checking we were OK and getting us the bill. Then to add insult to injury the bill was incorrect; we had been charged for something we didn't order! If we'd been offered a free drink or desert in compensation for the pea mistake then I think I would have left with a very different feeling, but the indifference of our waiter was quite irritating.

Absolutely disgraceful waiting time. After 1h I asked where the food was and got it in next 5 minutes. So obviously they just left it in the kitchen and left me waiting at the table. Not going again

Really nice pub with great seating and dining areas. The staff were super friendly, helpful and attentive. Had the vegan burger and it was very tasty and pricing wasn't bad at all. Would recommend.

Staff were very friendly. Good drink options. The calamari was good. I found the lasagna far too sweet for my liking and didn't really enjoy it. The kids pizzas were very thin and didn't fill them up. Mixed bag.

Enjoyed 2 course lunch with excellent service provided by Clare Pea soup very nice but could have been slightly hotter when served. Steaks and accompaniments delightful. Claire was extremely attentive to our individual choices, very much better experience this time compared to our visit earlier this year as regards service.

Great pub with beautifully cooked food and friendly service.

I was travelling with my parents who are both in their 80s. We stopped for lunch and had to wait over 45 minutes for it to arrive. When my mother went to enquire about the food the lady in charge was quite rude to her. At no time were we advised of a delay, however the woman told my mother that of course we were told that when we ordered. When our meals eventually arrived my mum's Hunters Chicken was totally dry and accompanied by some dried out and sad looking green leaves - picture taken for the family to laugh at! The staff all avoided eye contact with us and it totally spoilt what could have been a lovely experience.

Had a quality meal served by Morgan

Myself and my.partner stayed here over night. The room was absolutely spotless and so clean and bed was so comfy , thankyou housekeepers , the staff in the reasturant were so welcoming. The lady who checked us in was so lovely and we felt welcomed, breakfast the next morning was absolutely delicious, we will definitely be returning , thankyou for a lovely visit and stay

The Kings Head Wellesbourne Whilst this a pub which I have been too a handful of times the lunch time yesterday was chaotic. We booked a table for 1pm and got our main meal at just after 2.30pm, needless to say we were not happy and will not be returning soon, oh and don’t forget the service charge they put on any drink, my suggestion is go to the bar it’s cheaper.

Excellent menu's friendly and very helpful staff great atmosphere

Fantastic food, fantastic service! Will use this as our base when visiting daughter. Thank you 🙏

Great atmosphere Very good food Perfect for good discussions If you are lucky, Morgan will serve you

Took my family for breakfast today, food came out quickly, by Clare, very satisfied with everything, would recommend commend. Chef was jasminka.

Enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch, staff were friendly and efficient and the food was delicious.

Easy to find . Would have given xtra star on service, but when I arrived at the bar the bar man was by him self and very busy !! When he asked 2 young girls to help that where chatting they made a quick exit !! After everything went OK. Food tasted good with good portions. Nice environment Plenty of parking

Great Pub! Lovely Food and great atmosphere

Tried this place twice now. Both times over an hour for food. Wouldn't go back

Morgan was very friendly and gave great service!

Amazing service and delicious food and lovely and elegant inside ! Thank you guys keep it up everything was perfect xx

Our go to place for food, whenever we stay in Stratford upon Avon. Food is always delicious and staff are very friendly, great service and reasonable prices. Tony & other staff very friendly and helpful. See you again soon x

It's great to have a local village Pub that serves great food. We have been a few times this year and not been disappointed. This week we went had Fish & Chip and Duck Hoisin Pizza and both were delicious. The staff are always polite and helpful.

Brilliant night, the singer was VERY good, food too, great night's sleep, breakfast was 5star as was our food the evening before. 😀

We had a first class meal in a very good restaurant The fish portion was large and very well cooked together with triple cooked chips. We were served by Ellie who was first class and help us to use the Vintage Inn App

We eat here on a regular basis. Always good food. Thankyou to lana for my lovely breakfast and clare for the service

We had a lovely stay in the hotel and a wonderful Sunday roast dinner. Breakfast in the morning was excellent and really set us up for the day ahead. The staff were all very helpful and polite.

Had lunch whilst mid journey on 14th Feb. Food and service excellent.

Great pub good food and very friendly staff

Popped in for a Sunday lunch . Very welcoming , clean and warm . Service fast and efficient ,our waitress Morgan was friendly and helpful. Food was very tasty and well presented. Would definitely recommend.

We had a large group of 18 people for my wife's birthday, we managed to miss 2 people of the pre order but Within 5 minutes the management and the kitchen staff had our food on the table, the staff where brilliant with service and always checking if we needed anything. Massive thank you to the kings head . 👍 02/02/25

Met here today as a table of 8 to celebrate a birthday. The decor and atmosphere was amazing and noted as soon as you entered. We were welcomed by a fantastic host and Manager Orsi. From the get go the service was outstanding and food we received was delicious 5 star and enjoyed by all. No hesitations in returning again and will definitely be recommending to friends and family. Thank you to all the staff for making our experience amazing 👏

Maddie was a lovely host! Had a few drinks and a great pie . Sat with friends by the fire on a Friday. Fire was lovely to sit by. Thanks guys

Claire and maddie amazing and lovely gammon cooked by Tarron!!

Lovely environment and staff. Working hard and giving great service. They are polite and respectfully

We've dined at The King's Head several times over the last month or so and we've had the pleasure of Matt being our server on all occasions. He was attentive, friendly, professional, and thorough. He really made our experiences at the pub memorable and he made us feel that no request was too much trouble. Fantastic service and a big thanks to you Matt for your friendly demeanor! Cheers.

Excellent service. Very helpful with my wife's onion allergy. Clare was very helpful and cheerful.

Lunch was very good and excellent value . The service from Clare was very helpful and friendly.

Matt’s a lovely guy, really efficient and always very friendly. He’s a credit to the pub.

Matt is fantastic - always very helpful! Great service

The food and staff here are amazing!!! Thank you to Matt behind the bar who looked after us today and as always Orsi is an amazing host

Matt was extremely helpful, friendly and attentive. Lovely chap!

Matt provides exemplary service. I don’t even have to order a pint , he’s poured it already by the time I get to the bar. Friendly, approachable and knowledgeable.

First visit in a while, lovely welcome from the staff and great service from Matthew at the bar, he even remembered both mine and my wife’s preferred drinks. Second to none service as always.

Ignore the bad reviews From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed into such a lovely pub with a warm welcome Even though one of the pies come out in correct this was quickly rectified and food was lovely Tony I may add is the nicest person you could wish to meet and he is an asset to this pub Thankyou for everything

Thank you again for a 5 star service. Food was amazing as always

Excellent meal with exceptional service. Thoroughly recommend.

Great food at a fair price. Finding somewhere open on a Tuesday is always a challenge these days but The King's Head at Wellesbourne was open and very welcoming. Katie, our host, gave is a nice window table and looked after us extremely well. All four in our party went for the set price lunch menu which had plenty of choice and lots of good options. The quality of the food was exceptional and we were all tempted to have sweets as well but the starters and main course sufficed. Full marks to the team. A most pleasant experience.

The usual standard of service and attention. Good food and and a comfortable room.

We had a really delightful stay earlier this week - a lovely warm welcome and the lounge / bar looked so comfortable and inviting with 2 warm fires & effective lighting on such a cold frosty day! We had a delicious evening meal and breakfast the following morning ( the eggs florentine one of the best I’ve had!) we look forward to returning again later in the year!

The night was a disaster had to quene to get seated with two elderly quest. Wine was dumped on the table not even opened still sealed. Started was look warm as was the mains. Mentioned this to the server he said he was sorry to hear that!!!! Biggest disappointment was the promotion was only started on Monday but no pie available no lamb available , l don’t eat fish so very poor delivery

Went for a pub lunch. Before flying back to South Africa and had a awesome time with family and Clare looked after us well and gave us excellent service. Will definitely come and visit again one day. Thank you Clare and the staff at Kings Head.

I thought the full English breakfast was delicious. We had a lovely brunch here with friends. It was quiet as it was the first weekend in January which was great. The waiter was friendly and helpful. Would recommend!

Another lovely meal, thank you, served by Morgan

Went with family for a meal - best fish & chips I've had in a long time. Highly recommended.

Lovely festive menu, cooked beautifully. Some items were not available even though we were eating relatively early for dinner, but they were very busy. Service was great.

I went to the Kings Head with 3 friends for lunch.

Very good service with a smile and a cheer very attentive

My wife and I went for dinner on Christmas Day and we were not disappointed at all! The food was wonderful and we were served by Morgan who was great. We’ll certainly be coming back. Well done to the whole team.

Very good food and great service

Pre Christmas gatherings with friends, good atmosphere and good food. Will recommend to friends.

Shout out to Matt and Claire who are always lovely and helpful behind the bar. We stick to the bar area but food is always prompt and delicious.

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.

Nice place to stay if you need a hotel around Warwick, food is decent too

Had Sunday Lunch with the whole family (10) Arrived at 12 o’clock and was made welcome. Libby was excellent taking our orders and served us drinks. The starters arrived in due course and were very good, we then had to wait over an hour before the main courses were served! The meals were not hot but warm, with some of the vegetables over cooked and some undercooked. The desserts were served relatively quick and were very enjoyable. In all the meal took three and a quarter hours which was ridiculous, as we were the first customers to arrive for lunch!!! It seemed that the kitchen could not cope with the size of the party which was disappointing to say the least, as we had travelled a considerable distance to meet up for an enjoyable pre Xmas get together and walk ……. We didn’t have time left to do the later 🙁

Tony and Morgan took great care of us. We had a lovely meal. Thank you.

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.

Festive lunch with friends. Staff were lovely (Clare was our waitress), meal was nice enough.

Lovely Christmas meal, food was delicious and Clare took great care of us and all our requests! Thank you

This is our local pub and I’m usually not impressed. Tonight was my son’s 18th and we went for dinner. Our server Morgan was so attentive. My son had ASD so we needed extra attention and time. She was amazing and so was the food and drinks. Excellent all round!

Had a lovely lunch with friends. Old pub with a welcoming atmosphere. Friendly staff. Reasonably priced food and drink. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed! If u are not sure, ask the staff they are willing to help you

Food was absolutely delicious!! Libby our waitress was amazing!! Anything we needed we had quickly, couldn’t ask for anything more !! Give libby a pay rise !! 😁

Fantastic meal and service thanks to libby x

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.

Booked a day with an incorrect price instead of keeping it simple had an agent of theirs try to hard sell me that a breakfast is worth £60 and I have to have it. Doesn’t understand I’m not interested and kept trying to hard sell because ‘you don’t understand’ that the breakfast needs to be purchased

Nice room, good food and friendly staff. Jobs a good'un.

Orsi and the team were fantastic, pleasent and warm welcome. Drinks - great selection to choose from Food- I had the homemade chicken pie and this was way larger than anticipated but very much delicious. I would highly recommend this venue and looking forward to taking the wife for our anniversary meal.

Nice lunch. Friendly service but slow with drinks orders

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
