  “I took my American Relatives to the KA for a last minute meal on Bank Holiday Monday 31/8/26 ( they wanted to eat a traditional meat pie lunch ) it wasn’t on the menu BUT our waiter Grieg made it happen against all the odds. I don’t know how he did it but he certainly went over and beyond good customer service. All our table would like to send thanks to him for making my relatives experience so exceptional.”

  “Lovely pub with a young, enthusiastic team. We visited recently for dinner, it was hot, the garden was super-busy. Staff were smiley and attentive, food was good, particularly the burger! Will definitely return”

  “I went to The Kings Head to watch England’s first World Cup game and, as expected, the pub was extremely busy with a great atmosphere. Despite how packed it was, both Becca and Steph were incredibly welcoming and kept everything running smoothly. They made a real effort to check in on people and ensure everyone was enjoying the evening, which didn’t go unnoticed. It made the whole experience even better.”

  “Had a lovely meal at the Kings Head last night. Food was very tasty & there were several options for the vegans in our party. The team were very friendly too & the pub is a nice setting & deceptively spacious. One star deducted due to an issue with our table booking - I booked online, with confirmation email received, but we weren’t on the system. No problem as it was a Tuesday evening so not mega busy, but it absolutely could have been on a Friday/Saturday with a party of 6.”

  “Delicious, would certainly visit again. We had roast chicken and roast pork, good portions and a good mix of sides. Crispy and fluffy potatoes, meat was moist and vegetables were well seasoned - perhaps a little more gravy if I was nitpicking. Parking can be a little tricky. Service great, warm & friendly. A wonderful atmosphere.Visit for the memorabilia!”

  “This place literally ticks all boxes. Such a great cosy pub with a lovely garden. We dropped in for a Sunday roast and a pint. It all hit the spot - the food was fresh, tasty and great portions too. Fantastic atmosphere coupled with the most tentative and friendliest staff made our visit one to remember. Definitely going out of our way to come back again!”

  “Friendly but the food service needs improvement. One guest had food poisoning from the vegetarian sunday roast. Potatoes were cut in halves and were very dry so difficult to eat, we had to ask for the gravy as we didn't get any and they only gave us one cauliflower cheese side dish to share between 4 people (one spoon each) so asked for another and had to pay for this even though it's advertised as being included in the roast dinner which we all had. Ordered water before the food and didn't get this until until we had almost finished eating, then it took a long time to pay. The cauliflower cheese is also just frozen veg with cheese on top, no cream, herbs, salt or bechamel sauce..”

  “This place is a gem! Good google reviews do not lie😂 after a nice sunny day at Knole Park, we came here for that scrumptious weekend meal! And the food was mouthwatering 🤤 If only this place is next door to us, I would frequent The King’s Head. And the staff were so lovely too. I like the idea that there is a part of the outdoor seating that is non-smoking section. Again our food was a bomb! 🤩”

  “Ok, most of the group enjoyed their food, on the other hand I had quite a number of issues! I e mailed the venue two days ago asking if they had very rare beef, I was told yes, just tell the waitress. I ordered the beef and the first plate arrived almost an hour after we arrived, was grey mostly, so I sent it back. The next plate I was served had some central pink, but peripherally it was grey. The sirloin was of mediocre quality was cut wafer thin with maybe 15% gristle and fat. My expectation wasn't michelin food, but I was expecting the parsnip and roasts to be properly cooked and sadly they weren't. The sage stuffing had a weird jelly like consistency. Unexciting desserts with ok ice cream. Toilets beautifully presented and staff were in general really lovely, although our "meet and greet" lady was very surly but improved later. Tables far too close in places, badly laid out. Overall not great for me ok for others. My partners 15 year old niece wanted a children's menu, bizarrely they bought her a high chair! They need to give accurate information via email mail”

  “Came here Monday to celebrate our sons birthday. We hired one of the huts, which was dressed beautifully - very boujee. It made the whole celebration more personal and special. Even though we were outside the service was great and there was even a button to order more drinks and food when needed. Staff really friendly and attentive and went above and beyond to make sure we all had a great day. We had a big table, plus an extra one as more people came, which was not a problem as the staff were very accommodating. All courses came out as they should, with no one waiting for their meal. Always a hard task with a big table. The food was great, presented beautifully, very tasty and enjoyed by all. I had the sea bass which was cooked to perfection. It was delicious!! Thanks Kings Head team for a great afternoon.”
