The Kings Head, Rye

Strongers . left this review about The Kings Head

The apple trees in the orchard behind the Kings Head are just coming into bloom, so there was a nice view from the car park on a recent sunny early Friday afternoon visit. A porch runs the length of the pub either side of the central front entrance that opens into a tile floored bar where a serving counter runs across the rear wall. Harvey’s Best and Old Ale were available from the four hand pumps, and a premium keg selection was available alongside Brixton Brewery’s Reliance. There’s a mix of seating to the herringbone floored left of the bar where a television with a clock screensaver hangs above an exposed brick fireplace adjacent to the gent’s toilet on the left-hand wall. To the right of the bar is a raised tartan carpeted seating area and the very friendly and chatty barmaid informed me that there’s a dining area and function room in the right rear. I learned that there are a few loyal locals that frequent the pub, but due to the location most income comes from the food, which wasn’t surprising to hear. I thought it was ok in here, but I’ll probably continue driving past next time I’m over this way.
