    Used this place back in the late sixties/early seventies. Still the best pub in Aylesbury from both historical and quality of beer point of view. Latest visit confirms above. Great beer and great prices with friendly staff.

    The King’s Head is truly a gem hidden in plain sight! Such a great and welcoming place is a couple of steps away from the everyday city shops that can be seen all around town. The atmosphere within is one of a kind! The place is a great escape from the everyday stress that there is in the 21st century, as it’s atmosphere consists of people’s laughter and chatter, a warm fire and the great smell of warm food and cold ale. The walls within are filled with different frames with contents ranging from old pictures with explanations to even newspaper cutouts with a lot of interesting facts about the place, the owners and the ales. The staff within the King’s Head is great, as they are always happy to help, whether you’re just passing by, ordering drinks or even asking a question about the place’s history! They bring the best service to the customer, no matter what the order might be, while also being able to hold a friendly conversation and make you laugh! As for the food, it is truly something that words cannot describe. Before going to the King’s Head, I had tried a Veggie Burger a couple of times at other restaurants and a couple of fast food places, but I never thought anything of it or the taste, though after having a Veggie Burger there, It showed me a burger doesn’t need to have meat in order to taste great. The best part of the burger was the way the bean patty and the sauces fit together into an amazing mixture of taste. Overall, the King’s Head is a MUST visit if you ever find yourselves in Aylesbury, as it offers a great relaxing atmosphere, truly amazing food and a lot of exceptional drinks!

    It was a lovely pub in our stop at Aylesbury, the ambience and the place itself has a fresh vibe and the food was really good as well. The outside seating space looked amazing and would be a treat for a nice summer evening. It was relatively busy in a weekday afternoon also when we went for lunch , so would presume it to be super busy during the weekends and would prefer to go with a booking. Nice stop if you happen to be in or around the area. Highly recommended.

    This beautiful little pub is tucked away just off Friar Square. What a gem! It apparently dates back to the 1400s but while it has kept that Olde Worlde feel, the ambience and menu are right up to date. When you walk in, there are cosy nooks and crannies with a cosy fire in one corner. We were greeted by the low level murmur of customers spending time together and the wonderful aroma of good food. They also serve a good selection of beers brewed locally by The Chiltern Brewery. We ordered our food at the bar and there was a little wait for this to arrive. However, to say it was worth the wait is an understatement! I ordered duck leg with chestnut mash and buttery greens which came with a generous serving of 'gravy'. I cannot remember when I enjoyed a plate of food as much. The duck meat fell off the bone, the mash was soft and very tasty, the greens were just peppery (enough) and delicious. As for the gravy, I used the mash to mop up as much of the gravy as I could and then asked for a spoon so I could finish it off. My husband had steak and fries. The steak was done to perfection - rare as requested. We shared his tender Portabella mushroom because too much mushroom doesn't agree with him and I love 'em. It was so tasty. We then both tucked in to apple crumble and custard which tasted like it had just come out of the oven at home - tart apples, crunchy crumble and creamy custard. Every mouthful of this meal was piping hot and a real delight. My photos do NOT do this meal justice. We will be back, and if you find yourself with a couple of hours to spare and in need of food, please treat yourself to a visit to the King's Head. The staff were friendly, helpful and smiley. When I asked if I could have a spoon for the gravy and how big the apple crumble was, the waitress returned with the spoon and a bowl to show me how big dessert is - and a happy face - she looked like she was enjoying her job. The food, the ambience and the staff were second to none. Well done everybody!

    By far the best pub in Aylesbury!!! The food is amazing and all the drinks are from a local brewery. Staff are friendly and welcoming, nothing is too much trouble. The pub itself is cosy with a beautiful courtyard.

    Lovely old place with a pretty courtyard. Went this morning for a breakfast toastie from the Food Hall. Very tasty and friendly service. Took a friend who doesn't like Aylesbury at all, but this was a new side of the town for him. This is a charming little oasis in the town and well worth a visit.

    After the bartender Adam had dropped off some drinks to a table next to us in the garden area I tried to ask if table service was available and then was informed "NO NOT FOR YOU" before he carried on walking away. I was out on a date and this was the most unpleasant way I've been spoken to. I hope this young man doesn't speak to other customers in this way. I then asked the bartender what he ment by "NO NOT FOR YOU" when ordering more drinks at the bar, and his information was some drinks take time to be served.

    Fantastic historical building. Most of the staff were friendly, helpful and polite. The ale however was awful

    First time visiting this place and I’m very impressed. I’ve heard of the history of the building and was very keen to see this wonderful historic place and inside it was extremely calming. The staff were friendly and obviously very good at what they do. The food was amazing. One issue, maybe look at adding more vegan options too the menu please. ATB Paul. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Popped in for a quiet drink with friends and ended up staying hours and having a meal! Food was tasty although one chicken burger sent back as was only warm. Staff happy to replace. The pub was buzzing, great atmosphere and cosy. Outside toilets required a code to access and had a public convenience feel. The courtyard was large and welcoming. Overall, an excellent experience with thoughtful and friendly staff.

    We came for dinner so we ordered 2 starters cauliflower and the terrine. The cauliflower was OK but for the price I was expecting little bit more on the plate 3 pieces of cauliflower and sauce nothing special for 9£ the terrine was big shock for me , little piece of something on plate with 3 little dots of mustard on the top ,with pickles from jar and 1 small piece of bread again very expensive. The ale was smelling nasty ,we ordered each one of the burgers I have the heritage burger and it was the worst I seen in my life. On menu are loads of fancy names but it's got nothing to do with reality . Chips from bag ,I didn't touch the burger and left . 90£ for nothing . I'm chef I know something about food and I can tell you weatherspoon is much better then this place. Please people avoid it. Its not worth it . Place is nice for drink but not for food. I'm very disappointed. And raw mushroom on plate with the terrine. I don't believe you are making your own bread because what we got was bread from supermarket! Overall place is nice but not for food. Big 👎 👎 👎 👎
