  “Had a fabulous lunch with my son. The food was superb and the cinnamon apple crumble will need a lot of beating. Service was excellent, Molly was around when we needed her but never an intrusion on our meal. Beautiful set up, kitchen looks fantastic. The only reason why Atmosphere didn't get 5 stars was it was not long after opening and quiet at that time. Will definitely be going back soon.”

  “Another fantastic experience, and once again, the food was absolutely exceptional. For a town-street pub, the food coming out of this kitchen is genuinely Michelin-style. Every dish is beautifully presented, packed with flavour, and clearly made with real passion and attention to detail. The flavours burst with every bite — mouth-watering, eye-catching and genuinely mind-blowing. The service was equally impressive. Ellie was fantastic — professional, attentive and brilliant with the finer details that can make such a difference to a dining experience. Nothing was missed, and her service really added to the whole evening. And then there’s Pete, the chef — wow! What is being produced in that kitchen is unreal. You can taste the skill, creativity and care in every plate. The quality of the food is way beyond what you would normally expect from a pub, and it absolutely deserves recognition. Having worked as a manager within hospitality for over 10 years, you definitely learn to recognise exceptional service, quality and genuine hospitality when you experience it. This is one of those places where everything comes together — fantastic food, professional service and a team that clearly cares about what they do. And I have to mention the background music — what a hit! It created the perfect atmosphere without overpowering the experience. It really added to the vibe and made the whole evening feel relaxed, enjoyable and well thought out. An outstanding pub and restaurant. Exceptional food, fantastic service, brilliant atmosphere and a chef who is seriously talented. We’ll definitely be back!”

  “We came here last Wednesday and the four of us had different meal choices. My 11 year old son had the bbq short rib that made me well jealous!! I needed to have my own portion so came again on Sunday with just my boy. Even though it wasn't on the menu, the head chef Pete made it happen. My boy had the standard bbq option and I had it as a roast. It didn't disappoint 🙌. Its now Tuesday night and ive stopped off on my way home from work at 8pm. Again, its not on the menu but Pete made it happen!! This time he made it differently, in a kind of Korean style, and once again it didn't disappoint!! He even came out the kitchen to check i was happy with today's version.. Can't recommend this place highly enough!”

  “My friend and I had dinner at The Kings Head on Tuesday early evening. I've always liked the Kings Head but even more under the new management and updated menu. The food was really good and very reasonable. Molly, our server, was so helpful and friendly. A real mid week treat!”

  “The best thing about my visit today was the lovely experience with the staff, especially Molly, Brad, Joe and Maddie. Service here is excellent! Mollie and Brad were super attentive to our table and made us feel really welcome. Joe made sure we had everything we needed and ensured we were all as happy as can be. Maddie was also really helpful - especially when she noticed one of our party had gravy pouring down the side of his face. The food was also lovely- compliments to the chef!”

  “Had Sunday lunch today in the King’s Head and had a lovely meal with my family, they had a saxophonist/singer who was great. Portion sizes were huge, highly recommend the Lamb! We will be back hopefully in the new year :)”

  “We all enjoyed the food having the roasts and the tomahawk. Our service was excellent, we were sat down quickly and always checked upon from our server Molly. We did sit outside where there wasn’t any music hence rating the atmosphere 4/5, however was lovely inside. Have been before and will definitely be back.”

  “Great place for a spot of brunch. The restaurant decor is hands down the best in the area. Very bright and spacious inside; so you aren’t sitting on top of the people on the next table (save that for weekends!!) Perfect for a quiet bite to eat and/or to pretend you’re working! The English Breakfast may look a little pricey compared to others in the area, but it’s good quality, cooked well and a heathy size! I’ll give you a PIZZA advice, it’s the YEAST I can do and it KNEADS mentioning- they have an amazing wood fired oven so DOUGHn’t leave without having a whole one to yourself! The pub side is ok, but never seems to be anyone serving and if you’re after a gin etc they have to go off to the kitchen for your slice. Plenty of parking and outdoor space too.”

  “Beautiful pub and restaurant with a pizza oven, serving mainly Italian food. Owned and restored by a lovely friendly couple. The building was originally built around the 1600's and is apparently haunted 😉 Loads of little rooms and pockets to have cozy chat's or larger areas for groups. Only found the venue whilst waiting for the steam train 🚂 ----- The following is from my second visit to the venue - which was planned during the summer 🌞 where we had 3 course meal and pizza as our starter's. Didn't get to take a picture of the aubergine pizza 🍆 🍕 as it was delicious and was swallowed whole 😋👀 The staff were amazingly friendly and helpful. The King's Head is a great example of how hospitality should be! Lovely covered outdoor terrace and seating area. There's a huge car park to the rear which I didn't know about on my first visit. Beautiful field and stream that run around the rear of the property. Perfect for a post-dinner walk.”
