Kings Head, Yoxfordback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Again four ales at the bar: Southwold Bitter, London Glory, Panther's American Pale Ale and Woodforde's Volt (which was 'reVolting') a slightly 'vinegary' taste.

Good selection of ales: Shortts Black Velvet, St Peters Golden Arrow, Abbot and Southwold Bitter. Nice food, served all day. Sunday roast £10.

It has been a while since we last visited this pub but what a great place it is now! My wife is in a wheelchair so we were looking for somewhere that had disabled loos and I had seen this pub on the Suffolk Camera website. Well, the new loos are superb, usually disabled loos, if there is one, tend to be a bit on the small size. This one is great with plenty of room to take the wheelchair, my wife was most pleased. We decided to eat here as well and the food was excellent, we both had the cod and chips which were huge more like Moby Dick and chips. The fish was excellent really fresh and nicely cooked and the chips were very good as well. Not a bad price at under �10, which for Suffolk is good as some pubs can charge nearer �13 or more for fish and chips, but this pub was very reasonable. I had the Adnams bitter and it was very good so I had a couple. Staff were friendly, service great, food superb, beer excellent, what more could you want? We will certainly visit again. The pub has two bars one is more of a drinkers bar which had some friendly locals in it who happily directed us to the other bar via the wheelchair friendly access. My wife came away feeling quite happy, as sometimes when in a wheelchair you can feel a bit down at the lack of disabled facilities.

Just to let everyone know that this pub is under new management. And oh my god what a change. They have changed the exterior to give it a warmer more welcoming feeling and knocked down the old grotty toilets and replaced them with a whole new toilet block. Beers are great, there was a selection of Adnams, Doombar, Nethergate Essex boader and Earl Soham Albert Ale when we went, aparently they have 2 guest beers on most weeks but tend to keep the Adnams and Doombar most of the time. We didnt eat but all the food that came out looked and smelt really good and the prices seem very reasonable. All in all a proper country pub that has been given a much needed makeover. Keep up the good work.

I had considered booking this pub for one our regular Sunday meetings but when entering via the back door I found a threadbare carpet and no handle on the Gents toilet door that was enough for me.

Whilst the food is good and also the beer. The landlord leaves a lot to be desired, well worth the visit for the take away fish and chips

Suffolk's first non-smoking pub
