"We decided on a last minute drive out on a beautiful evening for dinner and visited for the first time. The setting is beautiful and there was a good vibe on the terraces. We seated on the lower terrace to be near to the river. A friendly waitress said she’d be back to take drinks orders and bring a menu. After waiting 15 minutes she returned with an apology saying they were busy … only because the next table was being served did we prompt the need for Henie’s. We placed our drinks order. We waited and waited in the hope of placing a food order and eventually had to draw the attention of another male staff member .. he didn’t have his note pad.. was going to fetch it but said he’d remember the order and would get it in for us. We enjoyed the setting and there was a lot of activity on the water making it an enjoyable experience. However … after 40 minutes of waiting we were concerned our order had been forgotten. The upper terraces seemed to be receiving their food more quickly and we were concerned we had been forgotten. On 2 further occasions we asked staff if the food was on its way who apologised saying it would arrive ‘soon’. In the end we had waited an hour and the food finally arrived. We were very hungry by this point. Again the staff apologised. It was such a shame the delay tarnished the evening as the setting is beautiful. It would have been nice to have had our expectations managed from the outset but this didn’t happen. There was no checking-in with us at any point … we had to keep asking … menu, drink order, food order and looking for staff. Even during and after the meal we weren’t asked if we wanted to order another drink or desert. Such a shame as the friendliness of staff is there but the ‘customer service’ approach needs attention … maybe it is because we sat on the lower terrace?"

We had a wonderful Christmas lunch and the The King's Head. The service was so attentive, the food was delicious and portions exceptionally generous. The whole experience was memorable. Thank you so much.

Had a lovely afternoon tea, the food was delicious, plenty of sandwiches and cakes which were all very nice, tea was replenished as soon as we asked and the two young ladies working there were very friendly. Lovely visit.

After flagging with the waitress that a member of our party was very allergic to mustard, we found a menu item which we were assured was mustard-free, Said person was then the dish with a large amount of the ingredient and was subsequently very unwell.

Brilliant place. Lovely food- always fresh and delicious. Great staff, really friendly and helpful. Lovely garden down to the river, and pods fir private dining if it’s too chilly to sit outside. Dogs welcomed, and children have room to run about on the grass. Great offers during the week, pizza evenings, tapas evenings and the normal great menu. Love this place, if in the area do visit.

We were warmly greeted by the friendly hostess who was very accommodating during our visit. The sandwiches were fresh and filled with high-quality ingredients. The scone was large and crumbly. The cakes were traditional homemade squares of delicious treats (there were also a couple of macarons). Overall, there was nothing to dislike. This is a great spot for afternoon tea if you're in the area.

Called in on the off chance on Tuesday and managed to get a table! Two of us had steak which was cooked to absolute perfection, and the peppercorn sauce was to die for. My good lady had sea bass which again perfect! It’s been a while since we’ve been but they have obviously had a change of chef, it was ok last time but this was something else. Staff were great, beer and wine was great and we will be back especially for the food!

Stopped off at this pub today which has character and beautiful gardens. Nearly empty apart from 4 other dining. Went to the bar and was totally ingnored by the person behind the bar who was more intent being on social media and speaking to a solitary female barside. She looked up at me no greeting and returned to her phone and chat! 100% ignored. I returned to my partner outside and said we will go elsewhere! What awful service! If that's the standard I for sure will never return and suggest others do the same! View menu

We were treated to an evening meal by friends in one of the pods and it was fantastic. Great food superb service and a lovely warm pod. In fact it was so good that we decided to return for Sunday lunch and again booked a pod. Despite it absolutely pouring down the service was just as good and the food was once again excellent. Portions are large, everything we tried was tasty and well seasoned. The Sunday roasts are really wonderful. Thanks to all the staff for making both our visits so enjoyable and we shall certainly return.

A friend and I visited last Thursday for lunch and drinks and after being served at the bar, decided to hire out a pod at a cost of £10. We frowned at each other as we have sat in these previously for no cost however they now have heating in them and a lady brought us out a gadget enabling us to listen to music via our phones.... I don't understand technology! Service was excellent and both food and drinks were enjoyed. The highlight of the King's head is undoubtedly the riverside garden..... Beautiful surroundings and I am always genuinely surprised that this pub, which is situated on the long distance Nene way walking path as well as the River nene, is always so quiet. There is no signage...
