   Table wasn't ready for booking time, then when got a table waited 25 mins for someone to take my order 2 tables that were seated after me got their food and i was still waiting for someone to take my order, In the end decided not to stay and told the person at the bar that I hadn't had my order taken and that I was leaving as service was so poor and the best thing was I still had to pay for the drink I had rather than say that they were sorry they hadn't been over to me which would have at least made up for waiting.

   Great food. Very busy on a Tuesday which is why I haven’t given 5 stars for service, but the staff work very hard

   The Sunday roast looked fantastic. Huge portions. Interesting veg selection. I chose the vegetarian option which was tasty but would have benefited from being served with a better selection of vegetables and potatoes as it was a small dish in comparison . Great atmosphere in the pub.Staff were attentive and very pleasant and on the whole this was a very good dining experience

   Our Sunday Roast was one of the best we have had. Our table had beef, pork and veggie options and everyone was extremely happy with the food. Good sized portions (no one could manage a dessert!), extra gravy as standard and fab service. We'll definitely be back.

   Sunday Lunch was OK but no more. A shame as I heard good things about this place. The meat servings were small and the roast potatoes well over done. Other veg fine and service OK but requested mint sauce never appeared and we were given unordered stuffing that the waitress insisted we had ordered. Think from the trip advisor comments that we must have just got a bad day.

   We had a lovely Valentines meal at the Kings Head. The food was delicious and the chef here really majors on flavour in sauces and all the ingredients. The potato Rossi was the best I’ve ever had anywhere in the U.K., and the chicken supreme had a lovely texture and flavour as it was very good quality. The escalopes starter, the fish was very fresh and the jus they were in tasted of interesting flavours of honey and paprika. The chocolate and caramel dessert was just the right sized treat to round off the meal. The waitress was lovely and attended to our every need. If there is a criticism I would have liked to have some vegetables with the main meal. Otherwise the attention the chef pays to flavour is exceptional.

    Flat iron chicken was delicious but enough for 2 people! Always enjoy coming to this pub. Comfortable place to meet elderly friends every few months. Not on our doorstep but definitely worth trying if you are in the area.
