Despite a short wait in the bar which allowed us to choose from several quality beers an ales, we were seated without any fuss in the restaurant. The food selection was extensive and very reasonably priced. Staff were very friendly, informative and knowledgeable. It's worth waiting to discover the chef's special. The variety and quality of wine list is more than adequate. As well as excellent food and service, the atmosphere of the restaurant was relaxed yet lively, with fellow diners appearing to enjoy their culinary experience as much as we did. I (We) would certainly recommend this establishment but be careful how many people you tell because it will make it harder to reserve your table at short notice.

Fantastic food as always. Lovely,very attentive staff. All hubby's meat was cooked to perfection as were the vegetables. I couldn't finish my chips! Only gripe was hubby's sticky toffee pudding was dry. We did tell the waiter,as after eating here many,many times,we've never had any reason to moan. I did ask the waiter as we paid the bill if he'd passed the comments to the chef. He said 'the chef said it looks fine'! If he would have tasted it,he would also agree it was dry! But everything else is on poin!

Disappointed with our meal, ribs very dry and tasteless, my meal was not as published on the menu and still charged the full price. We think they are trying too hard and over complicating the menu. Not sure if we will return.

We love the food and so do our relatives from up north enjoy coming here to eat. Good menu selection and good selection of ales too so was looking forward to the night and the booking for 7.45 Starters were good. Meals all came out together which was good but we was left then for a long time When they did finally collect our plates they returned 15 min later to take dessert order which never materialised. When it was finally noticed the order was chased by staff and us the customer.. it was then delivered in the fragrance of the polish being used on the surrounding tables being cleaned which was very off putting.

Excellent food and excellent service. Highly recommended. This is the second time we've visited but the first time on a Sunday, very busy so booking is essential. Two of our party had duck, one had the roast beef - all very good and the desserts were special - again!

All was perfect only marred by the fact that myself and the lady I was entertaining were seated in the small bar area within spitting distance of a large dog. I appreciate the fact that it's a pub with a popular restaurant but I feel their are times when customers should be asked whether or not they are happy with seating arrangements .

Service friendly and efficient. Warm chili and red pepper bread was a lovely surprise as a nibble whilst perusing the menu. It was a shame the monkfish and prawns were not available but plenty of other good choices. Food excellent and very well presented. Ample portions and good value for the quality served. Would definitely recommend as a first rate pub restaurant.

Service very good and food continues to be excellent. Perhaps would have preferred the dining room rather than the bar area but otherwise lived up to expectations. Oh do not like the online booking...asking if I want to invite friends...if I did they would have been included in the original booking!

The perfect apple wood smoked rib eye steak cooked rare. Followed by a hazelnut sponge with clotted cream. But best of all was the service, the young ladies should get 10/6.

Disappointing. I have really enjoyed the Kings Head on previous occasions, and so had been looking forward to my birthday meal here. However the scallops were over cooked, and my shukburough game meal left me regretting my decision. The creamed greens were literally green beans with cream over the top...no taste what so ever. Disappointing end to what had been a lovely birthday!
