| A large free house pub that has quite a lot of recent history. The pub was previously known as The Kings Head before it closed in 1998. After the closure it was a private residence for the next 7 years. On the pubs website it does state that a local campaign group, The Kings Headless, campaigned to have it re-opened again. Although from what we heard from the landlord the owners divorce helped with the process. The present landlord has extensively renovated the whole pub. The pub is split into 3 areas; The Tap Room, The Oak Room and The 40 seat restaurant. The Tap Room has been extended and now includes a previously separated cottage. Three hand pumps were available here Adnams Bitter, Mighty Oak Oscar Wilde and Timothy Taylor’s Landlord. It was fresh on and definitely the best pint of Oscar Wilde of the day. The bench in here at the first table looks like it came from a church. In the oak room next door was another hand pump with Cottage Merchant Navy. Love_good_ale - 20 May 2008 17:50 |
