The Kings Head, Quintrell Downs

A cold sunday we decided to go to the Kings Head for a meal only to be told no food was being served untill after 6pm .As it was only 2pm was told it was out of season and only did the carvery on sunday nights.Not many people around and only one person behind the bar .Decided to just have a drink was really a cold bland atmosthere and had to sit listening to a tape of Cat Stevens .Left feeling very dissapointed and will be giving it a miss from now on .When we drive past we always joke and say is Cat Stevens at home today !

Staff had attitude and we were not made to feel welcome. One waitress in particular (Louise?) was downright rude. Their food today was mediocre, and it must be said prices are above average for the area. I was very disappointed, we ued to eat here regularly but since the change of ownership in 2009 this pub has gone down hill markedly.

Top evening out, Food, service and atmosphere. Special mention to Craig (i believe to be the current Manager) who accomadated for our every need and more. Keep up the good work

Would certainly reccomend the steaks

Look forward to seeing u again in the near future!!

I have been eating in the Kings Head since it has been taken over and the place keeps amazing me the food is great and the staff are very warm and welcoming. It is nice to see a traditional pub which has great local ales and food. This place is well worth a visit we have now made it our local and we will be bringing our friends andf familys back many more times

Disappointing.We (5 of us )had expected so much because the review in the local paper boasted 'Executive chef', head chef, good food etc, etc. It was average but tasty. The girl behind the bar was not very welcoming - not very smiley. She attempted to clear one person's plate away when we had not all finished eating - a no no in our book - but must have taken exception to this when we asked her to return when we had all finished eating.When given my card receipt it was thrust into my hand not very nicely and then as we went out of the door she shouted something about customers manners!! Front of house people are key to the reputation of establishments. We won't be going there again and won't be making any recommendations!

Just been today & had the carvery. Very nice meat, choice of Turkey or Beef. We went large but only had 3 slices of Turkey which were not very big although tasty. Very disappointed with the rest of it. Carrots, swede & Brocolli only choice of veg & the brocolli was that under cooked & cold it almost tasted raw! Had a lot more variety to choose from at other carverys. Soggy roast potatoes & parsnips too. Nice Yorkshire pudding & Stuffing balls & boiled potatoes. Definitely wont be going back or recommending to anyone!

If you want a good meal and you are down that way, perhaps if you are staying at Hendra holiday park which is within easy walking distance, pop into The Kings Head. We frequently camp down there for weekends and longer holidays, and we always visit this pub. I have never had a bad meal there yet, the food is great, not just the carvery, but the rest of the menu aswell. Best of all, the side salad is always crispy and has interesting veg in it like peppers and red onions and different varieties of crispy lettuce! Good value for money, and the beer is good and the staff friendly. A top place to go!
