Kings Head, Ulverston

This is a quirky Jennings place that also does accommodation. It is a terraced pub in Georgain style consisting of a taller 'tower' and 'cottage', giving it the look of a church (tower and nave). The place is in white render with black paintwork around the sash windows and doors. It has an old coach entrance and an excessive chimney stack. There is a nice beer garden at the back. The interior is open plan, now all the old rooms have been ripped out. The general decor is one of white artex walls, white and beam ceiling and patterned carpet. There is a fake stone fireplace feature and the walls have old photos on in the main, but a few arty ones too. There is a dart board and a few TVs. There was no music. The service was fine and the place was quite busy with a good mix - hence i didn't stay long. Beer; usual tap stuff with Wychwood Bountiful, Banks's Sunbeam and Marston 5 Hops and Single Hop. The Bountiful was decent. A good all-round pub, and worth a visit.

The Kings Head is situated in the middle of Ulverston and it is joined onto the Globe next door. This is a funny looking pub as most of the pub is two storeys high but a small part of the pub which is next to the Globe is three storeys high. Once inside we went in the room at the front this was quite narrow and was fairly comfortable,the pub operating as a free house when we went in here but i only noticed one real ale which was Theakston XB this was a fairly decent drink. This was a nice enough pub to start our Ulverston crawl in. Pub visited 15/4/1989
