   The King's head is under new management and is much improved on the old website photos. It's very warm and welcoming as are the new owners. I felt very comfortable there and service was spot on. Would recommend a visit.

   A lovely pub, shame about the vegetable soup I had. I didn't complain but the soup was so peppery it stung my lips & throat. It had quite a lot of peas which I didn't eat. I did tell the waitress to tell the chef, whether she did I don't know. My husband had gammon, eggs, chips & peas which he was very happy with.

   Waited 15 minutes for someone to take our order. Went up and ordered at the bar ... food took 40 minutes to arrive. Vegetables were under cooked. Carrots were raw. Waitress could hardly look at us. Yet she served other customers quite happily. Waitress quickly took our plates away and never asked how the meal was. Never been to this pub before .. And won't be going again.

   Wasn't able to sample the Old Kings Head properly as were told we would have to wait 55 minutes for food - in a completely deserted pub! Would have hoped to have been offered something simple (ploughman's, sandwiches, omelette) if the kitchen was preparing for a busy lunch service. Went to pub in West Haddon instead, which was cracking. It's first impressions like these that cost businesses money - we were strangers, but are moving to Long Buckby soon and now we're certainly not going to be regulars here! Update: No improvement. I went for a roast with family. It was okay but nothing special and took ages to arrive. Member of staff swore loudly to herself when there was a four year old at the table (I'm not saying people shouldn't swear in a pub just that staff should wait until there's no kids about!) Update 2: Walked all the way up there to eat and was told there was no food in a very direct manner. There's training your staff to pull pints and take orders and then there's training them to be polite, second part doesn't seem to happen here.

   The food here is truly excellent. The celeriac and apple soup was one of the most delicious soup I've ever had - so simple and so good! Great selection of beers, friendly staff. Ask them to show you their collections on the history of the place!

   Great country pub, with tons of character, not too far from the M1. Plenty of parking out the back. They had a beer and music festival taking place when we visited, and the normal menu was replaced with a tapas-style (English tapas) menu. We over ordered, as usual! The food was fantastic. Everything was home made and very well done. Super friendly staff too.
