An old fashioned boozer. Not the cleanest or best run pub but almost like going back to the 1990s into a proper pub.

Stopped in for a pint while wandering round Battle. Was super quiet but I enjoyed the chilled atmosphere and the bartender was lovely and friendly. Good quality ale enjoyed by their open fire

Always go for drinks in The Kings Head when in Battle. It never seems to be overly busy so can get served quickly and find somewhere comfy too suit and chat. The service is always friendly, especially on my last visit.

Escaped a rainy day for a couple of drinks in this lovely old pub in Battle. Really liked the atmosphere and seems like a place where you could have a great time. Didn't have food. Only negative was my dad was charged over £15 for a lager and G&T. Seems a bit excessive in the circunstances but he only mentioned it after we had left so it wasn't queried. Hence only giving a 3 star for service.

We was down from York as viking re enactors and this pub was where we drank after a hard days battle. It was so homely and welcoming that we didnt even bother with the other pubs around. One particular lady behind the bar showed us amazing hospitality and does this pub very proud and know that because of her the vikings will be back, but with more vikings.

We visited Battle for three days and had a drink in most of the pubs. This was by far the worst for customer service. Nice pub but two female staff behind the bar were not eve welcoming. Got a much more lovelier welcome in the other pubs

Nice pub close to the main street in Battle. I loved the old-fashioned items hanged all over the place that gives the place a good vibe and makes you enjoy your pint even more. It's in a stone's throw distance from the Battle Abbey. Worth check it out.

Despicable clientele; it feels like the Klu Klux Klan in there, and the manager backs them up. If this were a public agency, it would be classified as institutionally discriminatory.

Update: I called in today (5 Mar 22) to find that the pub no longer serves food. It remains an excellent pub with some good tap drinks and friendly bar staff, but we are down to crisps and nuts. Well worth supporting. Previously: Secluded pub which serves exceĺlent food and beer. Slightly off the main drag and good for that.

The most quaint, charismatic little pub My husband and I always make a point to stop by here when we are visiting East Sussex. the lady behind the bar who has been there the last few visits is always so friendly and welcoming, another reason we enjoy it here, and the pub is a host to many of the locals which is statement in itself what a gem this place is. A ‘proper’ of drinks and a lovely little beer garden Helen & Chris

We was instantly greeted with “ don’t do food “ we never even asked for food . We had a drink then had to wait ages for another drink even though the pub was almost empty . The barmaid day almost next to us on another table vaping constantly and using bad language whilst on her phone most of the time , which prompted us to leave quickly . Disgusting service

Very disappointing. Went there for lunch with my whole family after reading the favorable reviews and looking at the great menu online. After sitting everyone down we find out they no longer serve any food! The young family on the next table had made the same mistake and quickly left. Hardly what I would call a family friendly pub which is exactly what the sign on the wall says. Complete waste of my time. On the positive side they do have a decent selection of beers. So if you are just wanting a drink then it's fine.

We popped into the Kings Head in Battle as we wanted a quick drink in a nice traditional pub before heading home & we learned that it is the oldest pub in Battle. We were given a nice welcome by the bar staff & got chatting to the locals who were very friendly. The beer tasted good & we loved the character of the pub. We would happily return if we are in the area again.

Famous for their clean Harvey ale (very nice indeed) but dining with family including 2 kids so food was the main focus. Quiet inside & decor wasn’t the greatest so a little apprehensive at first. Portion sizes very generous & definitely some love put into making the food (complements to the chef) Great service from staff, felt very welcome. Really want to try out other pubs/restaurants during our stay but think it’s going to be hard to beat the good ol Kings Head for service & quality.

We are staying in Hastings for the half term break and we popped in for a bite to eat with our 2 little boys. We managed to get the last remaining table and ordered garlic bread with cheese, a kids pizza, one Greek and one Parma pizza. All served with a friendly and attentive service and all very tasty. Now they are generously sized pizzas, so we were allowed to take our leftovers with us. Lovely lunch - thank you to all the staff. (Ps. I feel compelled to respond to another reviewer below saying they have no covid measures in place, please ignore that review as this person must have been in a different pub! - all measures are in place and the place is spotless!)

'The Kings Head' in Battle is by far the best pub in this town! Scrupulously clean everyday. The landlady (Laura) puts her heart and soul into every single day and I can't recommend her enough. Laura always has a beautiful, welcoming smile which is genuinely from her heart. From the people of Battle Laura,just know that we both appreciate and cherish you.

We took a chance on this pub - as we had not booked anywhere for food, but we were pleasantly surprised how good it was. Covid measures where in place, but I think it may be a different story when it gets busier. Menu was limited like most places - but just for Burgers and Pizza it was excellent. All homemade and cooked very well - our pizza's were very tasty. Our dog was acting a bit strange and when asked the staff about the pub's history we were told that it was the oldest pub in Battle and possibly haunted ?? This added to the excitement of eating in these very old buildings in Battle ! I can recommend this place for food or drinks

The real ale choice was very limited and the Harvey's was not up to standard. It's difficult one, we're in the middle of a pandemic but other places I've visited have done better. The pizza's were excellent. It was just a shame that the two closest tables were both occupied by 4 persons who couldn't finish or start a sentence without using the F word. I presume the servers didn't fancy asking them to quieten it down. It's a lovely pub but needs to sort itself out or customers will not return.

We visited here for a quick drink after going to Battle Abbey. Yes, there is a small hand sanitiser on the bar when you enter but that's it. We sat at a table in the outside are (which could be made so much nicer than it is) and at least 2 groups of people ate food and left while we were there and at no time were the tables wiped down, let alone sanitised. Having witnessed that, I decided to keep my hands firmly off the table and certainly did not feel at all safe. Would not visit again if in the area.

Go through the dowdy antique shop frontage into the tiny, almost cramped room behind and prepare for a treat. We three all picked the all day breakfast; proper bacon, real butcher's sausages and all the trimmings. At around £6, with coffee refills, we couldn't have been happier!
