As a large hiking group, over the last year we've visited the King's Head on a number of occasions and always have been given a warm welcome by the wonderful staff; in fact they go out of their way to get the open fire stocked up for us so we can warm up on the colder hiking days.

Stopped over for some refreshments after a walk in south down hills . Loved the place , the staff particularly were energetic and served our large group very well. Loved the ambience .

I am gluten free and don't eat meat so there wasn't much choice other than a jacket potato, which sounds boring but it was well cooked and came with a delicious home made coleslaw
