The King Alfred’s Head is a warm local pub in the heart of Wantage, serving local ales, good food and wine, all in a lovely traditional pub setting, just how pubs should be!
Here at The King Alfred’s Head we welcome you to our bar and restaurant. Our food is locally sourced, freshly prepared, cooked to order, and served alongside a wide range or Cask Ales, Beers and wines. With the winter months relax in the ambiance of a traditional country pub, open fires and cocktails. In the summer months enjoy our large beer garden with a cold pint and delicious food.
I had a Friday lunchtime pint of Tribute. It was undrinkable and by the end of the meal had a solid 20mm yeast cake in the bottom. When the waiting staff brought the food they didn't seem to appreciate how bad it was
I've worked in many pubs over the years but I'm seriously impressed with the King Alfreds head for their presence within the community. Not only do they have loyal and consistent regulars, there is always something going on with the community whether it be party's, events for Christmas, Halloween etc or just when there is something happening in the market Square, this is the pub in the town that is involved and at the forefront. It has a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere, the food is good and there's a great range of drinks on offer. A large garden out the back and even a separate ice cream counter next door for summer days. There's a function room available upstairs and the landlord and lady are very friendly, I was on first name terms within a matter of days. This is how pubs should be done.
A really nice pub tucked away in town center. The menu is simple and the food is tasty. The service was really good. The garden outside is really nice and the inside is cozy. Very simple pleasures at this one.
Great atmosphere, wonderful food at the right money! Only needed snacks and a beer, ordered kids meals for snack size meal... oh my goodness! They were huge and amazing quality. Really impressed. Will definitely return to have a proper grown up dinner. Thank you!
Great food, dog friendly, super friendly staff and plenty of them (says a lot that they manage this in these difficult times) You should definitely give them a try. The empty bowl is all that was left of my delicious chicken + mushroom gnocchi dish 😋
