The Kings Head, Market Harborough

Despite a reasonably nice looking exterior, inside is a rather unappealing open plan L shaped room of little character. A couple of TVs had an archive music channel playing, watched by nobody as I was the only punter at 5.30ish on a Friday afternoon whereas the nearby Nags Head was near to packed. One solo handpump on the bar had a reversed Pedigree clip along with a basic keg lineup, I had a small Guinness which would probably have been my choice anyway. Not great.

Although this place has quite a smart frontage inside it's a bit of a tip. It's a more or less L shaped room with the bar at the front but to the right of the bar is a small area with a bench and a skittle table. The bench was covered in old rags as was the skittle table but it also had a bicycle perched on it. To the left and further on from the bar is a raised area with a pool table and an area with a large TV. Although the bar has five hand pumps there were just Pedigree, Old Speckled Hen and a cider on. I went for the Pedigree (£2.80) which was in reasonable enough nick. I thought this place looked like it was on its last legs.
