The Kings Head, Llandudno

Still a good pub but we did not enjoy it as much this year seemed a bit clicky with the regulars not just the welsh there seems to be a bit of an in crowd this year would not move an inch at the bar when you went to get served that sort of thing

Visited September 2009 Traditionally furnished, comfortable wood-panelled split level pub located close to the lower terminus of the Great Orme Tramway, which is visible from the outside seats at the front of the pub. Although it's a single bar, there are distinct areas. Low ceilings, subdued lighting and burgundy wallpaper help create a warm cosy atmosphere. It retains etched windows and has a mixture of carpeting and flagstoned flooring. It's supposed to be the oldest pub in Llandudno - 300 years plus. In the raised part of the pub was a flat screen TV but, pleasingly, despite it being Champions League fixtures night, it remained switched off. There's a separate restaurant at the back and food may also be ordered at the bar. As well as attracting holidaymakers, it seems, based on my visit, to have a regular crowd of locals, which is always a good sign. "Llandudno Enthusiasts" ( whoever they are ) have voted this pub as The Best Pub in Town 2007, as evidenced bythe framed certificate at the bar. I was tempted, as I often am in this type of situation, to ask to be directed towards the pub with the current award, but decided against it. Beers on during my visit were Greene King IPA, Abbott ( which appeared to be regular ) , plus 2 guests, Triple FFF Alton Pride - a rare sighting this - and Skinners Heligan Honey. The Triple FFF Alton Pride - served in a Courage Directors branded glass - was in good nick. A friendly local told me that they had had Mordue IPA on several days earlier. Despite the regular Greene King beers, I didn't see anything to indicate it was a GK pub. The pub is a GBG regular. I quite liked this pub. If I have one complaint, it is that they were desperately slow in clearing away the dirty plates and glasses on my visit. If you're in Llandudno, I recommend you try and make time to call in.

Going back to Llandudno this JULY and will call in to the Kings head had some good times there last year but we had the wheather that week they call summer. Sat out side for a few meals the food is good as well as the beer most people were friendly and easy to get talking to what more do you want on holiday
