Ye Olde Kings Head in Epsom and Ewell

We had a very enjoyable meal there. We mostly chose dishes from the chalk board which is what I would recommend as you can be assured that they have the ingredients in stock. Good atmosphere.

We've been coming here for about a year and a half, usually once a week for tapas. It's a nice atmosphere, friendly people and no loud music - so you can have conversation! The tapas is always good, as per the photo! And it was nice that the pub got in some vegan mayo for my partner when we asked. In the winter there are real fires which is super cosy.

Very atmospheric 18th century pub - Staff were great!!

We were a table of 6 kids and 6 adults. Put in last moment and what a wonderful experience. Great food, great host and made us all laugh. Changed the menu for the kids. Nothing was too much trouble. The ultimate customer focused experience! Thank you for looking after the table with the well behaved kids!

Quickly became our favorite and go to place to eat. Very authentic experience. Food and staff top notch!

Nice tapas at a good price, nice open fire. No parking but a church car park opposite.

I’ve been coming here for the past 40 years. As a kid with my late dad, sitting outside sipping Coke and Worcester sauce flavor crisp while he had a pint and as an adult. Tons of memory and I hope its door remains open and those memories remain with it.

A proper boozer that does some food as well. Lovely staff make the pub even better. June 2022 Had a beautiful rib-eye steak last night. It was really good March 2024, still brilliant and highly recommended.

The food was absolutely magnificent! It is amazingly priced, traditional fare. The service was above board, anticipated our drinks before we knew we needed them... Magic!

The best meal and service I’ve had in a very very very long time!

I have a relative in the care home nearby and chose to eat here, as I’d read reviews saying it was dog friendly. With friendly locals. Having over a 2 hour journey, each way, it seemed a perfect way to enjoy a visit taking him out to lunch. So I reserved a table with the inclusion of 2 dogs. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Seated us in the dining area. The food and service was excellent. Our dogs were a little excited as others joined and left the pub. I think the owner had a dog similar to ours, so there were doggy exchanges as they left and returned to the pub. It’s small and we were near an entrance. After our meal, on using toilet amenities, we overheard ‘regulars’ sat at the bar, discussing our dogs. Saying they should be taking outside and tied up. It was raining! At one point a guy said he’d kick them if they didn’t shut up. This lead to a few choice words between us. We’d spent a reasonable amount of money on food and drink, as a party of 5, while they sat nursing beers. There was no tv or event, and our dogs weren’t overly noisy. We were in the pub less than 2 hours! I found the atmosphere unfriendly and would only return if the weather allowed for outside seating. The staff apologised to us, but it did spoil the end of our first visit to our relative.

Lovely lamb kebab with gorgeous rice and v tasty salsa. Excellent service.

A typical English pub, very friendly staff, the owner is a very nice person... In this pub you will meet all generations, from young people to pensioners, everyone enjoys socializing. My wife and I felt welcome and really enjoyed being in their company. Pet frendly... big greetings to Bella & Billy 😘

This is a traditional local pub, and the star ratings are in the context. Friendly staff and patrons, dog friendly (old girl was treated to a few biscuits from the regulars and was well fussed), with surprisingly well presented and cooked food - the menu was unpretentious, but having order the chicken kebab and expected standard pub grub, enjoyed tenderly cooked chicken with tasty salad - apparently the new chef is Turkish so maybe I lucked out with my order. I am not a regular here but will be going back. Football was being shown at the other end of the bar but it never interfered with where we were eating. As the premises is near the town centre on street parking is impossible, but if visiting in the evening the parking at the church opposite is free. If you are local to Epsom and want to support a local business trying it's hardest, give this place a go.

Genuine local boozer, serving good beer and food at reasonable prices. It deserved to have more customers last Saturday night when we visited with friends, maybe Strictly kept people in. They missed out on a gem of a pub, for sure, hope trade picks up, otherwise yet another good old proper English pub will be lost.

My son's local, so we all went for tapas. Excellent menu (Actually, 3 menus in one) We had the tapas, all of which were delicious. Very reasonably priced.

Very disappointing as this used to be so good. Given one menu between for of us once we had sat down and then told there was a specials board we could look at. Ordered our food which came quickly although not everything we ordered. One fish we had ordered two of was King Prawn cooked in garlic with chilli £9.00 what we were served is Tempera Prawns from a supermarket and chilli dipping sauce. Then had a very aggressive cook offering to add chilli ffs As a side balsamic and oil used balsamic vinegar rather than glaze - small things big difference

We went for Sunday lunch and highly recommend the roast lamb. The fish and chips were also quite good. It would be great to see some more vegetarian/vegan options across the menu as they were quite lacking which is a shame. The tapas menu looks great, and is served Monday to Saturday. Roast dinners only on Sunday!

Great little back street boozer with locals!

Quiet Epsom pub with a good atmosphere and beautiful flower baskets outside.

Food wasn’t great. A old man’s pub, felt like a regulars only thing going on.

Step back in time with this pub, stopped for a drink one Sunday afternoon. The outside is beautifully decked out with plants and colourful tables and chairs. The inside is very much a pub of a bygone day, has a certain charm which is quant. Staff are super friendly and polite. Not sure on food as only had a drink.

Had a fantastic night in ye old Kings Head there was 16 of us the food was fantastic and likewise the music.

We had our first visit to Ye Old Kings Head today. We weren’t sure what to expect but we were instantly greeted and made to feel very welcome. We brought our dog and it was so lovely how welcome they made him feel. He was allowed to sit next to us on the seat and was brought a bowl of water and treats😉 All the staff came over and fussed him which he loved. It was so nice to be in a traditional , old fashioned pub with real fires and a crowd of happy regulars. We all chose roasts and were very impressed. Tasty meat and perfectly cooked vegetables. We also had puddings and my daughter said her chocolate fondant was the best pudding she’d ever had!. Need I say more we’ll be back !

This pub is a proper time warp... It feels a bit like a good old pub from 30 years ago in a nice way. Rough and ready but not without its own charm. Food looked and smelled wonderful, football was on and the locals were happy to chat to our group. It was is small inside and very cosy. We visited in winter but in the summer it is a floral delight apparently with baskets everywhere.

Great atmosphere friendly staff great food well run family pub

Cool pub, delicious food, especially meat, friendly staff. We will definitely come back again!

Left a damming review last night about over priced disgusting food has already been taken off shows you the quality of this horrible pub!!

Great food , excellent service , recommend it to everyone, home cooked food

Nice old school pub with a superb sunday roast, beef was described as rare when ordered and it was perfect, plus possibly the best cauliflower cheese I have ever eaten, will be back again soon.

A gem of a pub. Family party of 6 had best roast dinners ever. Quality friendly staff excellent ales could not fault anything

Lovely food, atmosphere was great good, typical local pub.

My local love the place food is beautiful

Old traditional pub with lovely food. The sea bass was delicious.

Idyllic location with down-to-earth staff, and lovely cooked food.

Pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. Second time visiting and will definitely come again!

Really nice and friendly people, I really did enjoy my few paints.

The chef who cooked the tapas no longer works here and the menu has completely changed. I haven't tried the food since, so can't comment. Staff and atmosphere still pleasant though.

Nice cosy pub, good drinks, tasty food. And they always have beautiful hanging baskets

Really nice local pub with great food and friendly staff.

Food is excellent hot and well presented

Really lovely lunch here today. Nice menu. Great service as well. Will be back to try in the evening...

I was lucky enough to have my 70th birthday lunch here. The food was fantastic and the staff were brilliant. Really made it an occasion! Even had a visit from the boss! Thanks to the chefs and the helpful bar staff.

Great traditional pub near Epsom town centre. Great menu with some nice thought around it

Didn't have food there today but there was an excellent atmosphere and very friendly. As pubs ought to be! My dog was welcomed and the bar keeper fetched him a bowl of water, the menu looked really good too, another time for me, I love pub pubs😁

Great food. Friendly customer service. Dogs friendly.

Menu has changed the food is not good value for money since the pandemic like many places and one end feels like you intruding into someones front room. Locals pub at the moment.

Fantastic menu, delicious food, superb staff and well kept beers and lagers. Well done Ye Olde Kings Head! 👏 👏 👏

Fantastic Sunday roast, friendly staff and very good value for money.

Traditional little pub, with really good food!

This pub is well known for the flower arrangements adorning the outside of the building. We were not disappointed! An easy menu to choose from. We all enjoyed our meals, however the tooing and froing of the staff, moving boxes and going in and out of the rear area behind us as we ate spoilt the atmosphere. Friendly staff. Parking across the road if available. Mixed feelings as we left.

Stopped of with my son had a lovely pint good pub and food

The food was excellent. Parmesan crusted sweetcorn, pea risotto etc etc and a perfectly cooked rare steak.

A hidden gem, fairly small local pub with both outdoor and indoor seating and also I assume dog friendly as there were a couple inside whilst I was there. Quite a diverse menu which I wasn’t expecting, but they definitely delivered. The chicken katsu curry was well presented and tasty. None of the group had any complaints also fairly priced.

Proper pub, great selection & location!

It was a very nice place food was lovely and staff were very friendly

I know this pub the food was excellent The owner was very welcoming

We just sat outside in the sun having a glass of wine, half way home after shopping. Bliss

Had a lovely meal here, friendly staff and not overpriced, will be back soon hopefully

Delish food and great service, very cosy

THE BEST FOOD I HAVE HAD IN A LOOOONG TIME! THANK YOU

A superb pub all round - proper pub hospitality and drinks, great friendly and efficient bar staff and simply delicious food. The new Village Cooks menu is enticing and everything we've tried so far has been delicious. Well done YOKH!

Nice place, shame the beer choice is so basic. Would be interested to try the food

Historical and quaint. Good service, nice food. limited parking at church opposite.

Really lovely staff, food very tasty BUT not at all well organised. A one way system that is totally ignored, people sitting drinking at the bar and no staff wearing mouth coverings!!! Such a shame but won't go back again. 😔

New menu and its fantastic - good service and food recomend

Food was amazing all home made would highly recommend love pub and very friendly staff

Had the steak and sides (mac & cheese!), really beautiful food - sounds like they’ve completely refreshed the kitchen / menu recently - as well as a good pub atmosphere. Can’t recommend it enough.

Really cool old pub with lovely staff and great food. Normal pub food and a huge tapas menu. Nice beer selection as well.

Good food, good beer and great service!

A very friendly local pub where you can eat good food dogs welcome and the chef is Spanish so the tapas are also good

Lovely steak and kidney pie, friendly service, fire on a cold night. What’s not to like.

The management think that they are superior to their customers and make their customers feel awkward. I will not be returning after my experience and I will also make sure none of my friends return to this pub

Absolutely devestating service, I sat down tried ordering food, waited over 40 minutes for it to arrive. No drinks offered or apologies. Avoid this place at all cost!!

Last night was the second time my friends and I visited this pub for tapas. The food was delicious again and the staff were just as friendly as the first time. The landlord even had a little chat with us. What I like about this pub is it hasn’t gone all bistro and still has that pub atmosphere while giving you a great food experience. We will definitely be going back again!

Amazing service and food. Very quick and everything was hot. Will definitely come back again.

Been looking for a good wholesome roast for several years locally, often passed this beautiful pub with its abundance of flowers decorating the outside but today we visited. I cannot fault this place at all, upon arrival a lovely young lady who we later learned was called Georgia made us so welcome, we opted for the roast being a Sunday, Georgia telling us we would not be disappointed! It was amazing, we are fussy eaters and everything was spot on and the portions so generous. Thick cut meat, spuds, parsnips, sausage and bacon, stuffing served with cauliflower, broccoli, sprouts, carrots and peas with a big Yorkshire and the most richest flavour some gravy ever. For dessert the peach trifle and for my husband the limoncello cheesecake, all homemade and equally wonderful. All this combined with great wine, we went for the Spanish white wine with excellent flavour and colour, great food and the efficient, friendly, attentive Georgia this will be one for return visits to try even more courses. Thanks also to Zeus the chef...all I can say is, what a find!

Lovely Sunday's dinner ,real wholesome food.

Fabulous food, the linguini chilli was just great. Lots of seafood great seasoning.. Top marks Very nice service.. Again just super. Well done Ye olde Kings Head in Epsom

We turned to the Ye Olde Kings Head as our first choice pub wasn’t serving roast dinner as they had run out, we are really glad they had run out as we would never have discovered this gem of a pub. We were greeted as we arrived by Karen and she showed us to her table. We all had Roast Dinner and it was amazing, loads of food.... the cauliflower cheese was fully loaded, enough vegetables for all of us and the roast dinner’s were just yummy. We had so much food we couldn’t manage dessert. We will definitely be going back there.

Proper pub. Full of locals. Decent beer at a decent price.

DO NOT EAT THERE IF YOUR VEGITERIAN!!!! OR VEGAN! biggest disgrace "TAPAS" the caugette chips..... found bloody chicken in the batter!!!! they share the batter! have you not heard of cross contamination?! luckily myself as a meat eater I got the chicken! my friend sharing the portion who is a strict vegan luckily did not get this fry although it made my friend feel very unwell! the chips! what a joke "chunky chips" on the menu sounds lovely...... I would of enjoyed those! I got crinkle chips my mum used to get out the freezer proper frozen rubbish! staff a female waitress useless. just a quick sorry i wont charge you. sort your stuff out!GRIM! wait time for our food we were told ten mins as an hour before it was a 45 min wait! our food took 35 mins to be served although they said ten mins. picture is the chicken found in the fries batter! the previous chef food worth going for very tasty. this time I'm very glad I got tapas as it was easy not to bother with. each order is taken in order. meaning if you want chips it will take ages a good chef would balance this and do quick orders on the side to ensure the flow of the kitchen for a pub to survive in epsom it needs good food or decent beer. they ran out of estrella and didnt even change the barrel or did not order correctly. this pub unfortunately wont survive without a new chef and new kitchen regime. looking through the other comments I would have ignored the food. stayed for three pints and went to another pub as they ran out of the beer I wanted to drink and frankly I wouldn't eat there again. such a shame! for a place with hanging baskets and puts alot of effort into there exterior looks they dont put the same effort into there clients.

Come in and ordered food, 2 times the chef refused to do what we chose as it would take too long, Bare in mind they stop serving food at 9:30 and this was at 8:15. Will not be returning here for food. Staff was lovely when they passed the message on just the chef let’s this pub down.

Great beer and beautiful flowers

Lovely pub good food and service. Just wish there was a garden .

Nice friendly pub good food and parking

Food fantastic, good local feel, staff efficient, nothing a problem. No beer garden, didn't matter.

Terrible avoid at all cost over priced ! over staffed !with a dog comming and going in and out of the kitchen 😩. Stuck in a 70s time warp with 2019 top reasturant prices !!!

This pub is stuck in the 70s, food is so greasy and tasteless. Fish and chips was oven cooked and looked and tasted like it was from Iceland. Certainly not worth £13.50, the other food we had was sloppy and gloopy. There was a dog going in and out of the kitchen as well as a child of around 7 years old working in the kitchen. Staff were attentive but person who appeared to be the owner was slimey. Avoid at all costs, much better places in the area which dont think its ok to charge the earth for abysmal food.

I've lived here 16+ years, I always drove past... No more.... a traditional local pub.. staff and locals are great. And it looks awesome in the summer with an array of hanging baskets 😎

Beautiful old pub - fabulous food-lovely friendly people and good service

Tasty food and huge portions. Definitely come back.

Food wad nice and big in portion

This pub is not very clever it's small old & not easy to get served at the bar because two Many people sit at the bar

Delicious food, great to sit outside in cosy garden, close to Wimbledon Common

Looks like a great pub, unfortunately disinterested staff and awfully kept beers.

Cosy old skool pub with gorgeous frontage

Good environment with incredible staff, really nice pub to sit down with a few friends drinking and socializing with new people!

Great atmosphere, should check out if you want a true English pub experience

Friendly local pub good food good company especially when the fire is on in the winter
