The Kings Head, Yarmouth

As described by Steve, below, this quirky atmospheric hotel has an almost labyrinthine ground floor, with multiple small seating areas,  which makes it feel pleasant, welcoming and a good place to have a drink or a light meal.  There is a TV in the bar counter area, but it’s not obtrusive. The small paved terrace at the side was a bit scruffy and not that agreeable.  The staff weren’t particularly welcoming or helpful, but they were at least efficient.  You get the feeling that this would not make a good local and is geared around visiting tourists, an impression reinforced by limited opening hours and high prices. The ale was good, though, the choices being Yates’s Islander and two from Goddard’s –Duck’s Folly and Ale of Wight.  It was good finally to find it open , and I enjoyed the beer, but it wouldn’t be my first choice in Yarmouth. 

I usually visit the Bugle but after reading this report I thought that I would try the Kings Head. They had Bishop's Finger at 5.0%, which was quite nice. I then tried the Plain Ales Intrigue, but was disappointed. Quite nice place, staff very friendly, food smelt great, but the beer was £4.00 a pint.
