The Kings Head, Leicester

Kings Head pages at the Black Country Ales site - www.blackcountryales.co.uk

The Kings Head has a rear entrance virtually opposite The Pub,so it's easy to fall out of there and into here on a pub crawl.The frontage on King Street looks quite old and this narrow pub is on two levels ,with the bar on the lower side.Owned by Black Country Ales,the interior is reassuringly traditional with a large banquette on the higher level and plenty of seating around the bar.The flatscreen was off at lunchtime and the PuG crawl quickly filled part of the interior.The ten handpumps were offering 3 BCA beers,my Pig on the Wall(£2.80) was in good nick,2 real ciders and five guests ales from various micros. I would put this pub on my list for a revisit,I liked the swift service and calm atmosphere.
