The Maids Head in King's Lynn and West Norfolk

NO FOOD Anymore, real shame as dog friendly pub & nice drinks. Had to go elsewhere for lunch.

Not busy on a Tuesday night but pleasantly surprised by the number of screens to watch different sport on.

Nice pub in centre of town, changed into a more trendy style attracting mixed clientele. DJ til late

Really lovely food thanks. Enjoyed our lunch very much really good price. Lovely setting and thoroughly enjoyed our lunch

Great pub, travel from wisbech to come here several times in the year, price of drinks are cheap aswell.

Friday 5pm. Nice pub. Thought I’d have a quiet drink but…. vey quickly the pub began to fill with very loud and very sweary men. I am talking f*** words and variants with no respect or consideration for any other customers. As a single older female I was ‘treated’ to a ‘balance a beer on a large stomach’ competition, again with lots of swearing. Loud false laughter and talk of ‘getting hammered’. OK you don’t get younger people I might be told but the majority of these men were 40 plus. I guess I am not the custom they are aiming for.

Only had drinks as I was at Festival Too. Not the cheapest in town for drinks, but fairly quick to serve even though it was busy.

No food. Great staff good for a giggle.

Bar staff outstanding, serving in order not ones pushing in. Cheap too

Excellent beers very clean and welcoming

9 people endedup with bad stomach's after a night out at the maids head it was the alcohol which did it

Maids Head always been a popular joint,, always on my list for entertainment

Nice young lady behind the bar, all nails and makeup, the landlady, totally accommodating for the Grand National, and I got a good clean lovely pint of Abbott very cheap indeed. The place is very clean, it's got a varied clientele from office workers to regulars and families, and I would recommend a visit when you're in Lynn.

The surface was good in staff were good the Sunday lunch was amazing

Haven't tried the food however a lovely atmosphere and cheerful staff 😊

Lovely pub it's worth the trip from the crown and anchor

Excellent food. Hot and tasty. Bought cakes to takeaway. Thought a bit expensive as they wasn't the best. Recommend eating in .

No food, drinkers hole. Great beer. Nice place

Been a few times lately and a very well presented pub. Clean and tidy with a mixed crowd. Beer selection is ranged and well tasted. Great setting in town centre.

Good pub, good location in kings Lynn, Weill use again

Great atmosphere and good prices, sky sports too

Very pleasant, reasonably priced for both drinks and pool.

Fantastic pub on the historic Tuesday market place, we didn't try the food, but the beer was good and you can take your glass outside and sit on the pleasent seating area.

Really good pub great for sports. Made to feel welcome

Good night for drinks nice place will visit again.

Definitely a venue to visit. Friendly bar staff and Door Staff

Great pub apart from one male member of staff discussing human I've ever met

Service was discussing Staff ignored me and my wife when asked for service waited over 20 minutes never go there again. Won't let it spoil our holiday terrible ignoring pensioners.

Хороший старый паб, с запахом старого паба. Цены на пиво гуманней, чем у соседей по площади. Бокал Гиннеса 3.5£

So my husband and son went to kings Lynn music festival and went to have a drink in the maids head, my son went to use the toilet and was ordered by the bounser to get to the back of the non existent queue he went back to the bouncer and said he wanted to use the toilet and was violently pushed into the railings and landed on the floor, the bouncer and another one jumped on top of my son grabbing him by the throat and was literally strangling him only letting go when his dad intervened. When is it nessesary to use these tactics when a customer asked to use the toilet. I certainly won't be recommending this pub to anyone and most definitely won't drink in there again. Their bouncers are appalling

My favorite pub. Very relaxed, great for meeting family and friends, pool tables and affordable drinks. Will always stop here for a pint when I'm in King's Lynn. :)

Very nice and clean, friendly bar staff differently go again

Visit here every time I visit King's Lynn

Fantastic pub, awesome beer, good prices... and the pool table is a good quality. My first visit in a few years, but will definitely be back... Great 👍

Very rude bar manager. Drinks were poured in a warm glass which I understand cannot always be helped however when queried as my drink appeared flat I was told to go to another establishment if I didn’t like it.

Ordered drinks at the bar and was served the incorrect drinks. Asked for the correct drinks to be provided only for the barmaid to vacate the bar and come back with landlord. Landlord acted like a complete child and radioed for the bouncers to remove myself and two friends. We then asked if they would remove people elsewhere for asking for the correct drinks they agreed and said it was a joke. What a way to run a pub!!!

Would have been nice if you served food but otherwise it was really nice.

I use the Maids during afternoon and early evening before it comes to lively. Always have a great time and Harry and the team look after customers well.

Great atmosphere. Lovely staff. Highly recommended

Friendly staff lovely local quaint pub

Cheap beer. Lots of TVs. Not my cup of tea, but it was clean.

Attended this afternoon, barmaid dosent understand how to operate her bar, 4 people in the bar, steps to serve number 5! When questioned she says I am rude rather then say sorry and rectify the situation. Doesn’t apologize but rude back: further staff training required.

Dog friendly and very social place to be

Good pub and atmosphere is very good.

Just had a drink quite quiet but good value

A lovely lively place to go, for a social drink

Приятный паб,приветливый персонал

Really nice sports bar, loads of screens, darts boards, pool table, loads of seating, friendly bar staff, nice lighting, well decorated, nice clientele

A good experience in my visit from NE England to King's Lynn. Busy, with an excellent choice of beers. I will definitely visit again the next time I am in Kings Lynn .

Old world pub with friendly staff

very friendly, great music, a most enjoyable night

Very nice friendly pub excellent bar staff

Great service, lovely staff and friendly customers.

Was there to watch the football and enjoy a couple of pints with friends. It was friendly and reasonably priced.

Miserable barmaid, rude manager. Asked for a particular wine and got something different. Returned to the bar and was told that I was lying. Very poor service. Not pleasant at all.

Manager and barmaid sooo rude. Gave me the wrong wine and then called me a liar. Will never go again. The place has gone downhill since the new management. Such a shame.

£2.85 for a pint of post mix soft drink £2.85 for half a pint of post mix soft drink and a packet of scampi fries crips I won’t be back at those prices

Cheap booze, funny smells, common people. If this sounds like your thing then you're on for a winner. Has the footy scores on too.

Great staff good beer well laid out pub

Great to see the pub reopen good prices and beer thanks

Cheap drinks friendly efficient staff wild 90s night what a buzz lol . Sports bar really with many tvs showing sports .if you want a pub with atmosphere this is it not for the faint hearted lol would defo go back if I visited again .

This is the second time I have eaten here and is still amazing.. I was served by the blonde waitress both times who is so helpful and friendly which with the good food made the visit well worth while.. will be eating here again

Nice to see the new owners have invested in giving it a refurbishment to a good standard, drinks and staff really good

Pub was good but toilets look like they haven't been cleaned for a couple of days and no toilet paper. Seats of ladies had traces of feaces on them

Love it here, the bar staff were very attentive and the drinks were lovely. Since we weren't allowed to take drinks outside by a certain point in the night, the bouncer lady was more than happy to watch over our drinks while we went for a smoke, massive thanks for that. :) The music is also amazing and the pub itself felt very welcoming and comfortable. Great experience. :)

Been here a couple of times to meet up with friends while on holiday. Nice clean traditional pub with good choice of drinks. Food very nice too. Definitely worth a visit. Will be returning.

What a pleasant surprise, under new management and what a difference. Sparkling clean, and comfy.Staff were helpful and obliging. Sunday roast was the best we have had in and around Kings Lynn, great choice of 8 different vegetables , meat was tender and tasty, home made Yorkshire puds. Brilliant. Already booked for next week.

Lovely, traditional pub, great staff and reasonable prices.

Ideal area for after funeral buffet,comfortable and friendly.

Good food but bloody cold get that door fixed

First visit in 2yrs, lovely Sunday carvery, 3 meat choices and good selection of vegetables, highly recommend.

Excellent quality food and comfortable atmosphere

Start to finish a pretty awful experience. Every basic ask was too much of an inconvenience. Barman had no idea what they could or couldn’t do at all. Food was average at best. Terrible service. Was clear we were unhappy with everything but no acknowledgement whatsoever

Best roast I’ve had out the beef was cooked to perfection. Wide range of tasty vegetables. All staff very friendly and we’re very cheerful. It was a lovely atmosphere.

Wonderful little pub - very friendly and helpful staff, delicious food and good drinks selection. Highly recommended.

Absolute dreadful & disgraceful meal last night 18/02/22 Both mine and partners meals were of a very poor standard Steak and ale pie that was just about OK, Brocoli and Mash that was indelible, never tasted anything as disgusting as red onion mash,the gravy came with thick skin on it disgusting and extremely poor value. Fish was disgusting and my partner said the bread that came with it was stale,left most of meal. The chef and management should be ashamed of them selves.

We popped in this pub as we were staying next door at the Dukes head hotel and we thought just how nice it was inside for our first visit ! I had such a tasty pink gin with fresh strawberries I popped back in a few hours later and had another tasty pink gin ! We sat by the window and watched the Mart fun fair outside ! X

The place is absolutely gorgeous now. Lots of lovely antiques which you can buy. We went for a cavery roast, which sadly was a bit of a let down. The beef was a bit over cooked, the veg was not great at all, carrots overcooked, there was peas and sweetcorn,and cabbage, cauliflower cheese which was coming to the end of the tray, but the server scraped out enough for me, the roast potatoes were okay but dry. My daughter in law went next and she was shocked that he literally scraped the tray either all the end bits. I think they need more choice of vegetables. Such a shame that we were all disappointed. The saving grace was a very nice and delicious choice of puddings.

Called here for an evening meal and it certainly did not disappoint, the food was excellent, the staff were friendly and polite. The place itself was lovely and clean. Highly recommended for an evening meal.

Nice little pub on the square in Kings Lyn. Also a small Carvery. Surprised they only excepted card payment.

Just popped in for a light lunch after a walk around kings lynne, food was lovely and reasonably priced. staff were lovely and helpful.

Food was great,lots of vegetables, a bit slow in service because of covid but worth the wait

Very welcoming staff and a lovely local public house. We opted for a toasted baguette with different fillings which were all perfect. Will recommend this place for any who are in the area.

I booked this restaurant for Christmas Day & a payment of 50% (£69.95) was taken from my account at the time of booking. However, despite my telephoning/emailing on many occasions, I was never sent confirmation of my booking - nor any indication of any Terms & Conditions. I also did not receive any menu from which to make choices for our meal - which I had been advised needed to be done in advance. Any attempt to access the website threw up a message that the domain did not exist! I was beginning to lack confidence that my booking had been properly processed & concerned that there might not be a meal available - but, then, unfortunately I had to cancel when my partner tested positive for Covid. On contacting the restaurant, I was advised that none of my advance payment would be repaid. To retain £70 seems an excessive amount, given the way the booking had been dealt with and the fact that no food choices had been specified.

Had super carvery after Thursford Show choice of three meats six Vegas etc massive yorkies pleasant staff all good puds will be back when in Kings Lynn thankyou all

Great location, parking on the Tuesday Market place. Plowman lunch for sharing great presention and price.

I've been in Kings Lynn for 4 year and never came here before because someone told me it was dodgy. But it isn't! The friendly barman had a Christmas jumper on. There are clocks everywhere, all telling the wrong time, and chairs. There's one big round table at the back where you might imagine Yakuza guys playing cards.

was a lovely dinner good service and very friendly

Amazing food definitely going back again

Great atmosphere and friendly staff

Very quiet, friendly staff member.

Lovely old pub and staff very friendly 😀

Popped in for a pint of Guinness while shopping. Very nicely decorated throughout. But very pricey for me £4.75 for my pint . Pay that in London not King's Lynn . Won't be back

Food is good and value for money, beer is also good. We went in twice, staff nice and welcoming, they could maybe make the dining area a little more inviting.

Went yesterday for our grandson birthday. The barman could not have been more polite or helpful. Venue was nice enough but really let down by the fact they have hardly any staff at all. The poor barman was ran off his feet, serving customers at the bar, taking food orders and clearing of all the tables. What was difficult for him on top of doing everything else was that just about ALL the menu was unavailable, we ended up having burgers...the food took well over an hour to arrive, when it came it was ok Y

After my previous review I was messaged by the new owners to tell me that much had changed and they were worth a revisit. So took a gamble on it, as we were out for a show at the corn exchange. Just drinks for starters. On arrival it was clear that there were not enough staff, only one person behind the bar, and there was a queue even at 6pm. The person infront of me had to order 3 different meal options before one of them was available, this did not bode well. I had a Pint of Wherry which was very nice, and was going for a second, however the pub was getting busier and the one bar person was now even more under pressure to wait tables and bar serve. I watched as 5 people entered the bar, waited patiently and then left because they simply could not get served, as the bar person was having to stop serving drinks and go serve food. I gave up on the idea of a second pint of Wherry, and left. The experience could have been so much better with just one more person behind the bar.

Great place, decor mixed old and new, very good. Bar man fantastic. So friendly. Food was amazing. Tasty, hot and large portions. Excellent value for money.

Nice pint and nicely refurbished pub, recommend a visit.

Was ok, standard pub grub with poor ale selection, bit limited in the area for choice so we went here, it wasnt bad.

Great atmosphere great staff lovely food and great selection of drinks
