great little pub just far away enough from the bustle of earls court road. has changed a lot, for the better. great food, quality drinks and proper service, rare these days... i go there occasionally, always come back for more. it's quite modern, not everyone appreciates this, but i think it's a class pub.
If you like ales, there's always four different ales on, every time i visit, it's a surprise what's gonna be on...

This pub used to be the best pub in Earls Court - lively any night of the week with locals and visitors, cosy, decent range of beers that changed regularly, good food and good atmosphere.

Since the 'makeover' and changed ownership it is a pale shadow of it's former self - few customers, no atmosphere, bright lighting, limited choice of ales. It is like having a drink in a trains station cafe. A complete disaster - I've been 3 times since the makeover trying to give it a chance but have finally given up. As I said to a couple of smokers outside on my last visit 'Do you remember when this was a proper pub?'

good location tucked away of busy Earls Court Road, not a bad pub, quiet but did fill up although would find it hard to have this as my local, seems to try to hard. Mad Goose beer was good call, but just feels like it is missing a trick somewhere

This pub used to be a fantastic little place that I have always recommended to my friends. However it seems that in changing management it has lost it's charms and no longer is superior to the surrounding pubs.

The bar staff aren't as pleasant as they used to. While they are still nice they just don't engage or seem able to deal with customers complaints.

The wine menu was never particular cheap but the current wines are not nearly as nice as the ones previously, but their names are catchier. Friends were annoyed that beers that they previously would drink have disappeared. However apparently one or two have reappeared in the last week.

The pub quiz is now shocking. Still the same game but the prizes aren't as attractive as they once were. The quiz atmosphere has also suffered for it because the regulars seem to be dropping out.

I would not eat any more at the King's Head. The menu has very subtly changed since but the food itself seems to be cooked differently. Whereas the food used to be quite nice I witnessed someone having to point out to the staff that their burger was burnt only to be told it was chargrilled. It seemed burnt to me. Having previously eaten the burgers here they were never cooked to that shade previously. I think a refund was give rather easily though.

Overall I'd say don't expect the pub to be the same if you were a previous regular.
