The Kings Head, Atherstone

Very close to the station and right by the canal, the Kings Head is handy if you're travelling and with a decent canal side garden an attractive summer spot. Our visit was deep into Autumn so it was inside for us which had just been completely refurbished. It all felt very new with the unmistakable hint of wet paint. No complaints as it's been done reasonably with distinct bar and lounge/dining areas which feel very much suited to purpose. We had lunch and the food was decent and good value with friendly and, unusually, table service. Beers on were Tribute, Hobgoblin Gold and Bass the latter of which was good and went down well. I'd guess that the Bass is a fixture and one I'd gladly return for.
