Taken over by Joseph and Nicola Chappell in 2022.

Friendly single-bar Cotswold stone pub in middle of compact village of narrow winding streets. Restaurant area adjoins the bar. Enjoy the superb garden with valley views. Village name denotes former Huguenot connections. French and Flemish weavers came to this wool-rich area in search of employment when their own native industry foundered. No food on Sunday evenings.

Opening and Food times correct as of 26/09/2024

Historic Interest

Saved from the threat of closure by Pat and Mike Duff when they bought it in 1997, the King’s Head dates back to 1713 and there is believed to have been an ale house on the site before that.

Information for this venue is provided by the Mid Gloucestershire Branch of CAMRA
