Strongers . left this review about Kings Head

The Kings Head is a large L-shaped pub that was very busy during a recent Wednesday evening, in fact every table was taken so I had to stand with my drink at the central L-shaped serving counter. To the right of the entrance is seating that was full of dining families and up the left-hand wall is more seating that was full of diners and drinkers. At the rear is a sunken area with a pool table and dartboard. Televisions are located throughout for showing live sport. I gleaned during my visit that the pub was so busy because all the Premier League matches were available on TNT Sport and the Man U match would be shown in one side of the pub and the Man C match the other. The service was friendly, but alongside the standard and premium keg only two of the six hand pumps were in use drawing Banks Bitter and Pedigree. This place is popular, but it does feel like a high street chain pub so I wouldn’t go out of my way to revisit.

Rob Camra's review below pretty much sums the place up, as the buildings exterior is very impressive looking, with a run of the mill interior. Also there was an image of Sid James painted on a leading wall as you enter quoting 'A Right Royal Welcome' a tad naff in my opinion. Some of the ornate cornice work can be seen, but apart from that, it's nothing to write home about. Three ales Wainwright, Pedigree and Banks Amber.

Pretty standard pub showing the football. 2 beers from the Marston's range. My Pedigree was decent. Not a bad place but there are better options nearby.
