About The Kings Head
On Quarry St in Guildford, The Kings Head occupies a building dating to the 16th century, serving a traditional pub menu that runs to 13 dishes. Roast potatoes and pigs in blankets sit alongside sharers, burgers and flame-cooked pizza, with a Sunday roast on offer too. The pub is walk-in, with no reservations, and opens daily. Regular open mic, quiz and curry nights run alongside the food. Seating spans both indoors and a courtyard outside, with a shaded area for those eating al fresco, though outside food or drinks brought in are not permitted. Tables are fitted with charging ports, useful for anyone settling in to work. The combination of centuries-old surroundings and a full pub food and drinks list makes it a straightforward option for a meal, a pint or a night built around one of its regular events.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers repeatedly highlight the ambience, from the courtyard decor to shaded outdoor seating, alongside friendly, chatty staff and well kept drinks like cider and beer on tap. The flame cooked pizza and pub favourites draw praise as nicely cooked. One diner, however, describes a Sunday roast letdown: a tiny, overcooked chicken and undercooked roast potatoes.

“We had our evening meal here as we were going to a gig locally. The staff we very friendly and helpful. I'm told the beer was well looked after and my cider was great too. The food available was a fairly basic menu - sharers, burgers, pizza and pub favourites but each was nicely cooked and tasty. Flame cooked pizza in a pub is a rarity. The pub is an old building and I would have liked to see more of it but we sat near the entrance and I personally didn't go to the bar. Will visit again.”
