Accredited for beer quality 2022
With its double jettied frontage, the timber framed 15th century Kings Head must be one of the town's most striking pub exteriors. Not only that, a refurbishment in 1987 revealed a Pre-Reformation painting of the Last Supper on an old chimney breast. It now takes pride of place in the pub together with a plaque describing its history.
The pub is rather brightly lit and although there are some discrete areas, the interior doesn't really do justice to the remarkable exterioir.
Under new management (for the third time in a year) as of May 2024.
