Old Boots left this review about Kings Head

A two bar old style pub, front and back bars. It’s a small basic public at the front, delightfully unspoiled, quarry tile floor, wainscoting to dado level and plain cream above. Decor is confined to some photos of the pub including some of the great flood of 1912, a map of the immediate area and a selection of CAMRA awards. Furnished in plain style with Britannia tables at un-upholstered wooden benches and Britannia stools and there’s cast iron based stools at the bar. Six beer engines, all serving beers from small breweries, a blackboard behind lists the seven cask beers available, the beer is served from pulls in the rear lounge. A good range of Belgian bottles are stocked. The lounge is larger, well furnished and has a bar billiards table at one end. A splendid pub.

The entrance to the King’s head leads to a small front bar area with seating in the windows either side of the entrance and up the right wall. The bar counter on the rear wall to the left has some chalk boards on the walls around that listed the cask options as Green Jack Brewery’s Golden Best and Trawlerboys, Hop Monster’s Banshee Porter, Newby Wyke Brewery’s Benvoilio, Humpty Dumpty’s Swallowtail and Brewer’s Reserve and Derby Brewing’s Quintessential alongside two real ciders. There’s also an extensive list of Belgian beers, and some craft avialable in bottles. In the rear of the pub is another bar counter and more seating that runs across to the right where a bar billiards table can be found. There was much more room in here, but I didn’t like the Perspex screens that reminded me of darker times so I preferred the front bar, where I thankfully managed to grab a seat. The service was very friendly and this is another pub that I’d be happy to revisit.
