| Visited this pub on a quiet Thursday evening and was very pleasantly surprised. The whole place appeared to have been very carefully renovated in a sympathetic way - there were two fires burning (one open and one enclosed). The staff were friendly and helpful and we enjoyed a couple of pints of Hawkshead Windermere Pale (excellent) and a bar meal. Reasonably priced bar food. We will visit this place again after a day on the Lakeland Fells. ironhorse - 9 Mar 2012 18:02 |
| The King's Head re-opened on July 11th 2011 after being closed for nearly three years and following a complete refurbishment that involved a complete gutting of the interior. The pub now has a Facebook page on which customers are beginning to register their comments. Postings include: "had a meal at the head last night great food recommend the chocolate creme brulee with shortbread fingers !!!!!" "Vision, creativity, imagination, dogged determination and good old-fashioned hard graft have resulted in the opening of an establishment that would enhance any county in the UK - so very, very pleased for all concerned. Let's hope the 'word on the street' goes viral and you're soon turning folk away!" troutfly - 3 Aug 2011 09:19 |

"A very big thank you to Ann and Chris, Bev and Gary and all the staff at the King's Head for such a wonderful evening. The pub and the letting bedrooms looked stunning and are a tribute to all your efforts and the work of our excellent team at Lanquest Properties Ltd. We wish you every success on Monday night and for the future." troutfly - 10 Jul 2011 07:54 |
| On June 16th 2011 Chris Metcalfe-Gibson, owner of the Kings Head, received the keys to the pub from Chris Richardson, managing director of Lanquest Properties Ltd. This marked the completion of the rebuilding phase and the pub is now being supplied with fixtures and fittings. The pub will confirm an opening day shortly, currently planned to be sometime in July 2011. troutfly - 27 Jun 2011 17:52 |
| The refurbishment of the King�s Head is now nearing completion and the pub will re-open in July 2011 although the precise opening date has not yet been decided. A new management team is currently being appointed to give the pub a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere. This new team has no association with the previous tenant who attracted the poor reviews peviously repoted on this web site. troutfly - 17 May 2011 07:49 |
