Quinno _ left this review about The Kings Head

Lively local, the exterior painted in some sort of battleship colour like it is going to war. Bizarre layout via a horribly knocked-around interior – take a hard right at the door for the bar, don't look like a gaping goldfish like I did by standing in the middle wondering where to get your pint. Beatles on the stereo and a fair bit of life from the punters. A pair of ales on, GK IPA and Wye Valley HPA, latter of which was about par (NBSS 3), served-up by a polite barman. Also rolls are available. Made friends with the pub spaniel, Forest. Not going to win any awards here but it's a good local with a fair pint.

Only a short walk out of town to this quirky old pub, with the tiny bar counter tucked away in the the bar side of the pub. Only a couple of locals in having a beer on our Friday afternoon visit. Four handpumps with two in use, Sharps Atlantic and Wye Valley HPA. The prices in here were reasonable and the beer quality was excellent.

The Kings Head has left and right bars as well as a pool room with jukebox and a burner in a fireplace at the rear. The bar short bar counter, that serves both bars, supports four hand pumps, two of which were in operation drawing Wye Valley’s HPA and Sharp’s Doom Bar. Limited standard keg was also available alongside Madri. During a recent midweek evening visit a handful of locals has gathered in the left-hand bar to chat and watch cricket via Sky Sports on the television. The right-hand bar was empty, apart from a dartboard and a large courgette that was sitting on the bar. The very friendly barman had no idea where it had come from, but it had been in situ for a few days. A board on the wall advertises home cooked food available at lunchtime Fridays to Sundays. The fish and chips was priced at £13. I liked it in here and the HPA was decent so I’d return if in the area.
