The Kings Head is a traditional country pub and popular dining destination in the pretty village of Shadoxhurst near Ashford.
For centuries it has served the walkers who explore the local woodlands, and a growing reputation for food now sees visitors make the journey from further afield.
Outstanding experience. We visited on 27th Dec 2023, pub was clean, warm and inviting. Staff were all very approachable, helpful and friendly. They had our favourite wine from Chapel Down in stock and we enjoyed an excellent meal. Crispy spring rolls for starter, I had Steak and ale pie, chips and veg and my partner had lamb, mash and vegetables and then we both had rhubarb crumble for desert. All food was well cooked, very tasty and we both felt that portion sizes were generous and the whole meal was excellent value for money. Here's to The Kings Head, our compliments to the kitchen team and the front of house, we will definitely be back. Thank you for a great meal. Paul & Sue.
Popped in on the off chance on a Sunday. Had a fantastic roast here! Food and service both great. Bar staff and the locals all really friendly. Even had a log burner on the go, which at this time of year really added to the cosy feel.
Having not visited the Kings Head for 2 years, we thought we’d see if the current landlords had been able to change the place for the better. We were not disappointed. The pub has been turned in to a warm, homely place to go. The staff are fantastic, and the food is excellent. We loved it so much we’ve now been for meals 2 weekends in a row and intend to visit again as soon as possible. The pub is once again a credit to our village and I hope it gets the custom it deserves.
Came in Tuesday, with my wife we ordered chicken wellington - Chicken burger. Chicken wellington cooked to perfection very nice gravy to go along side. Chicken burger was perfect nicely toasted bun and bacon was crispy. Cleaned our plates definitely will be back. The server was quick and helpful.
Food was really disappointing, ordered creamy garlic mushrooms, think the chef forgot the garlic & sauce was really limited. Chips were v nice by comparison. Menu was quite limited. They allow dogs in the restaurant. I am a dog person, but they need to be well behaved. We had a constantly barking spaniel which the owner did nothing about & was allowed to wander round. Service was also quite slow & waitresses also didn't challenge the dog issue.
