"The Kings Head is our favourite Stamford pub. Just off the main High Street, it is a hidden oasis of cosy, traditional charm. Incredibly well run by friendly and efficient staff. It is waiter service only, which cleverly avoids the usual battle of thirsty punters at the bar. Not having eaten there in a while, we decided to try the burgers. They were incredible! I had a ‘Dunker’; cheese and bacon burger with dipping gravy. Honestly, it was the best burger I have ever eaten. My husband, was just as enthusiastic about his ‘Slaw Galore’; brie and coleslaw. The fries were crispy and hot. Perfect! We are already planning our next visit."

We had an afternoon drink. The courtyard is lovely. The staff very attentive. They brought the drinks to our table. All in the heart of Stamford.

Came here yesterday with my husband before an event we were in Stamford for. Only went in for one drink but we enjoyed your heated beer garden and good music so much we stayed for hours. Thanks to your amazing attentive staff!!

Visited with friends and a great night of chat, drinks, food and an interactive lighthearted festive few games of free non traditional ‘bingo’. Love the unusual prizes. Highly recommend. Thank you Gee and your team. Looking forward to our next visit

I know we all go nuts for hyperbole these days, but I had possibly the best burger I’ve ever had today! Excellent recommendations from staff and friendly service. Great little beer garden courtyard. Fabulous gravy dipping pot option and chips. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Quite Saturday lunchtime due to the local horse trails, made welcome by the friendly staff we had the Brynjar Burgersson burger and BBQ Beef shin burger both really tasty. Nice courtyard and Beer, it did start to fill up as we were leaving. For sure we would go back when we are back in the area.

It's nice, cozy tap room, couple of appropriate handpulls, basic food menu. Portions are small...so you won't be excessively overeating but there's a distinct lack of vegetables/salad with most dishes. All table service, so they bring drinks to you...doesn't feel like a pub, but with the number of random steps it's probably a good idea.

On a very cold day, after a good country walk, we wanted a pub meal and fell upon this place!! We got a great welcome from the minute we stepped in the door! The place was full but we were welcomed, seated and served quickly. The vegetarian fish and chips was the star meal!! It tasted brilliant and the owner was excited to discuss how we liked it and took the time to explain how he made. It was brilliant as was all the other dishes we had. Along with the great beers and mulled wine we had a great time before we walked back.

Me and 3 friends of mine for the first time went to the Kings Head for lunch and were definitely not disappointed. We were all very impressed what we were served that day and all agreed it was fantastic food. Even had a dessert too. Drinks selection there was excellent too. The atmosphere and the staff were excellent too. We were so impressed that we went there back for an evening meal and again were excellent. I would definitely go back there again with my wife and already arranging to go back there for lunch again with my friends during December. Thank you for lovely food and service. Would recommend the Kings Head to anybody.

"Bank Holiday Monday in Stamford. Most places are shut, and the town is a lot quiter than usual... My wife is MADLY hungry, and insists we choose somewhere QUICKLY (this isn 't a request! , so we head into the very first place we come across No1 Kitchen. We 'd glanced at the menu on the way in, but our only real concern was that it was open, and it had food. A very friendly waitress showed us to our table, in a lovely corner spot, and I availed myself of the facilities, which were spacious and pristinely clean (something of a 'yardstick ' for us in terms of a well looked after restaurant... The waitress was soon back for our drinks order, and once she 'd delivered our Cokes we went for the Hot and Spicy Burger, with twisty fries, and a Mediterranean Lamb Burger, with corn on the cob. This too arrived promptly, with various Heinz condiments, and everything was hot and fresh! Both burgers were utterly SPLENDID, and we agreed they were The Real Thing, and particulary suited to discerning adults. There were PLENTY of twisty fries, which were crispy, well presented, and nicely seasoned. The burgers were deceptively filling, and my wife couldn 't quite manage hers, but even whilst eating we were planning our next visit, to try out other burger options. Overall, this was nothing short of a Perfect Lunchtime Visit, and we 'd enthusiastically recommend it to other burger lovers! Even if I tried my hardest, there was absolutely NOTHING to fault about this gorgeous restaurant, and we 're amazed to have never seen/visited before. It won 't be long before we put this right..."

"This used to be my favourite Indian restaurant in Stamford, up until I ordered a takeaway last Friday. I am vegetarian and have been for many years, so I order on the phone and not via just eat to reiterate my dish is to be...just sauce with no meat. I ordered a tikka masala sauce and ate about 1/4 of it. The next day I went to have my leftovers and noticed pieces of chicken in the dish!! I felt sick and then realised had probably eaten small bits of chicken the night before. Ew. I threw away the dish and the accompanying dishes because who would eat dry naan and rice? I called them about this disgusting issue and they proceeded to imply I was lying, as they do not prepare the meat with the sauces. When I responded with the fact I have photos of it, they changed their tone and offered me £10 off my next meal there, I said this wasn't acceptable as I cant trust their food preparation practices anymore and I said I wanted a refund instead. They accepted and I was told I had to come into the restaurant to get this refund, despite the fact I originally paid over the phone but when I got to the restaurant they tried to refund me only for the sauce, which does not cost must but I explained that I couldn't eat any of the meal and I was out of pocket much more than just the sauce. They finally offered a refund of no more than £10 and tried to give cash until I refused and then eventually I was given the refund on my card. The man was quite rude the whole time I was there. Their excuse was the chef had got the order mixed up and this was the reason for the chicken pieces, its very obvious the dish was made with chicken and just plucked out before sending it to me. I am highly allergic to prawns and this would be a different story if it was not chicken being lazily served!!! If it was a “kitchen mix up” then I would have had whole bits of chicken in the dish and this would have been a genuine mistake and could have been rectified. Watch out, bad food preparation and lazy approach to dietary requirements and allergies."
