King's Head Inn, Colefordback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Really special, West country hospitality in a pub full of character, locals making you welcome and a fair range of libations available.
Understandably, ciders are good and Rich's tops the list with its genuine apple taste. Ales are Butcombe, with a range of lagers on font and the ever present Pint-o-the-Black-stuff, Guinness.
Nice rolls from behind the bar but no real food.
Great publican and definitely worth a visit if you like quaint and original, off the beaten track pubs.

In the middle of absolutely nowhere, but.... a proper old pub, if you like that kind of thing. Crusty rolls, Cheddar Valley, good ale, the mumble of local talk. Not bad at all. Very few pubs like this any more. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea.

First visit today. Lovely pint of Blindman's Buff. Good range of rolls. Pleasant staff. Will be back.

Popped in yesterday, first proper session under the new regime. Craig the old landlord has leased the pub to a new couple who apparently kept the Rifleman�s Arms in Glastonbury. Pretty much the same apart from a new bar snack menu offering really cheap pub grub and a new barrel of real cider, made just up the lane at Dean for �2.40 a pint. Much nicer than the usual Cheddar Valley, which is too variable for my liking. Great stuff!

Agree with the last post. A grand old drinkers pub that always has a great selection of locals and visitors. Bravely not serving food, this is a place where conversation dominates...unless the football is on, when everyone watches the game. That said, the landlord Craig has the 6 Nations and Rugby World Cup on as well, along with other terrestrial based sport events, so a broad spectrum is catered for. For those seeking food, its a great place to begin and end a walk to the Duke of Cumberland at Edford (good food pub), the footpath starts opposite the pub carpark and a few drinks in here before and after generally make up our sunny Sunday afternoons. Really great unpretentious local boozer.

Set in a beautiful area for walking, this is a local pub used by both locals and ramblers. Very friendly staff. Exceptionally clean. Good selection of guest beers. Cheddar Valley cider - go on, try it! Please don't be scared by the clientele. If you're friendly, in my experience, they'll reciprocate!
If you don't enjoy football, you'll be disappointed if there's a big match on. The match WILL be on, but you can always sit in the bar or outside.
Pool Table, Darts, Skittles, Cribbage & Shove Ha'penny and a welcoming fire on chilly days. Irish Music Weekend in September - always entertaining! A real pub.

We'd been out walking in the forest for the day when we came across the Kings Head. We looked at the clientele, looked at ourselves in shorts and wearing packs and thought better of going in. Pub look great from 100 yards away though...

Stumbled across the King's Head while on a walk in the area. A traditional pub that has been tastefully renovated (nice toilets!). Had a couple of pints of the guest ale, very well kept. Very freindly locals and a welcoming landlord. No meals though and the landlord said they had no intention of changing that. Dog friendly. Open fire. Recommended.
