| First visit since new management took over. Very pleasant experience it was too. motorcyclist - 13 May 2015 19:23 |
| Lovely setting , Good looking Pub but without a doubt the worst meal my family and I have ever had, April 2009. Price was comparable with other local pubs but the food was very cheep and cooked in what I can only describe as second hand kebab takeaway oil, I can only be grateful that we were not all ill afterwards. As for the just caught fresh fish from Felixstowe, it was most definitely not, more like frozen for six months or maybe it was the cooking oil, but I don�t think so. No apologies or reduction in the bill were offered and as we were very short of time I was unable to pursue it any further. One further little appetizer for your consideration if you are going to visit the Kings Head in Holbrook, look for the mouse hole with the generous open scattering of rat poison on the floor located at the front window table in the restaurant section. Enjoy. PeterRoss - 21 May 2009 11:10 |
| I visited the Kings Head today for Sunday lunch. We were lucky to get a table because they were almost fully booked - and now I know why. The Sunday roast was delicious and the service excellent - despite the pub being so busy. It was also inexpensive at around �20 and that included a free sweet! The only problem I found was parking, but otherwise a first-class experience. Joe_Public - 12 Nov 2006 21:12 |

| Despite our first reservations, the Kings Head is a lovely little pub. Complete with beer garden and kids play area. Smoking throughout apart from a large room off to the left. Food is served and looked nice but I don't know the exact times. Occasional guest beers. On 10th August 2005, there was Adnams bitter and Greene King on hand drawn pumps along with Carling, C2 (Carling's weaker little brother), Worthingtons Cream, Guinness, Caffery's, Grolsch, and a cider (can't remember which). Huge amounts of bottle drinks. Huge bottle of House Whisky which was sampled often - nice but strong! I assume wine was also served but no I knew actually ordered any. Bar snacks and cigars available too. Before we arrived the place was empty, infact I don't think I ever saw more than 3 locals in there. I later found out from another local that the locals dislike the barman who apparantly has no life to him. After spending 3 weeks visiting the pub I can easily disagree! Duncan (the barman) was a legend, while a little slow, he was a nice chap and always asked how my day was...even if it took him 3 minutes just to say it. Expect a big lazy dog in the corner who never moves from the floor next to the slot machine. Also watch out for random barrels by the bar. An empty pub missing that little bit of atmosphere (that us 50 Scout Leaders brought - we were using Alton Water just down the road for the European Scout Jamboree). Please visit if you have the chance, just down the road from Jimmy's Farm (from BBC 2 programme) and make a day of it. Lovely part of the world and I can't wait to return. susiewalker2000 - 24 Aug 2005 19:10 |
