    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.

    Had a very pleasant Bank Holiday lunch here. Pub/Restaurant is much larger than appears from the main road. Good barn style space at the back and outside eating area too. Found the acoustics noisy in the barn area but then it was pretty busy. Food good, service friendly.

    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.
