| Hadn't been in for a few weeks so was nice to revisit. Going by previous comments, everything has been mentioned, so I'll just comment on the personal experience of my last visit. This pub has a problem with its bar stools at the weekend. Customers are tending to turn them so they're facing away from the bar, while they talk to their friends stood in front of them. Being so many stools, this obviously means most of the bar becomes inaccessible to people wanting to get a drink. Once you do manage to find a spot at the bar to order from, however, it would be nice if the new barmaids didn’t simply look at you indignantly and walk off because they're too lazy to do their job. The staff here had always been wonderful, so it's a shame they have let one slip through unnoticed.1/10 for that particular visit unfortunately. EnfieldTaaaanBlud - 30 Jan 2012 15:11 |

| the last couple of months there has been a new guest ale (even 2 guests at one point), one is Adnams Lighthouse. Served well at the right temperature. things are on the up. mally_drinker - 9 Nov 2011 13:54 |
| Refurbishment tastefully done, but the seats are uncomfortable. The large video screens and loud music are obtrusive. Limited range of beer: only Theakstons XB and Green King IPA: the latter is very poorly served- tasting soapy Whilst it is good to have this pub back, it could have been so much better- the owners should visit the Pembury in Hackney to see how it should be done. czartank - 16 Jun 2011 19:10 |
| So, the Kings Head has been open again for six or seven months, the initial disconcertion over a boat being suspended from the ceiling has been overcome and I think a fair assessment can be made. Apart from the rather alarmingly obvious fact that Johnny_hay’s ‘mate’ could do a much better job, is there anything bad about the Kings Head? Sure is. The bar stools, whilst entirely lovely to look at, are quite uncomfortable given their rock hard nature. On a quiet night you may have to wait a while to catch a member of staff’s attention, if they’re in an unsighted area of the bar. On a busy night you may have to endure a tut and a sigh from the barstool users for your rather rude and inconsiderate desire to order a drink (although it’s not their fault, they’re just upset about the stools too). The prices could be more considerate of us working class heroes and erm... oh the music should be updated more often. But then, I would all of that is tempered, or even outweighed by the friendlier, and dare I say, more grown up atmosphere than the local alternatives currently offer. I too miss the pool tables. However, definitely not in the guise they were previously offered. They were never level, the cloth was in terrible condition and the cues were seemingly designed by Elton John. All in all, for Enfield town, a place so bereft of amiable places to drink, the return of the Kings Head is welcome now more than ever. EnfieldTaaaanBlud - 8 Jun 2011 11:43 |
