“ Great meal service and a lovely pint of Bass or 2 ”
“ The Kings Head Staff were absolutely spot on..Very professional and courteous..My beer which I always have in there must have been nearing the Barrel End .They never argued and changed it immediately...So refreshing to see such brilliant Staff.. ”
“ Thought I'd go to a pub with some friends who I hadn't seen in a while due to University and such other things. It all started well, overlooking the relatively dear price tag on each beer, until the bar lady started being incredibly rude to us regarding some torn up coasters. Granted, it was an inconvenience to her and we apologised accordingly for the mess. This was, until, some fat, drunk-ed (seemingly local) started 'mouthing off' to us. We brushed him off being as we didn't want to let the incident spoil our evening. We continued to chat, before once again, this train wreck of a man persisted on ruining our night. He told us that if we didn't have a drink (which we'd just finished) we'd have to leave for taking up spaces in this vacant PUBLIC HOUSE. At this point we'd simply had enough and called it a night. Awful Landlord. Awful Staff. Awful Pub. A 1 star rating is simply not low enough. EDIT: Been back recently under new management, lovely establishment. ”
