As of April 22nd 2025, the Old King's Head is now operating as a Free House and plans to start selling local beers from independent local breweries.

The pub was rescued from almost certain oblivion by Everard's Brewery in the summer of 2014. It had been a struggling Punch leasehold which had seen no investment for decades. The brewery invested a lot of time and money in transforming the place from a run down tatty pub into a classic village local. The thatched building itself must be one of the oldest in the village and probably dates back to the 17th century. It retains two bars, and the former public on the left has been restyled into a comfy snug. The L-shaped main bar on the right has very low ceilings and beams (so beware!). This in turn leads to a contemporarily furnished restaurant area on an upper level, giving access to the extensive patio garden and smoking area. Fortunately, this pub was spared much of the internal structural devastation wreaked during the 1970's when it was owned by Watneys. Former Everards tenants Adrian and Tracey took over in November 2023 and since April 2025 are now its owners, running it as a Free House. It is good to note that the pub remains very much involved in the local community with quiz nights on Sunday, Bingo nights on Tuesday, plus chess, cribbage and board games all available to play. Darts and Northamptonshire Skittles can be played in a raised area off the snug. Food available Friday - Sunday.

Historic Interest

Grade II listed from 1741, one of oldest buildings in the village.
