Lovely large dining pub - with sep smoking and non smoking areas. Serve real ale but ale not particually well kept, children allowed but not encouraged, part of vintage inns group so menu is set.
Large garden where dogs are allowed. Prices very reasonable and all in all a nice place to be, is worth regular visits if you are local.

I had a lovely visit and obviously not the same experience and the last person to comment. The food is fantastic and very very well priced, I found the staff nice to chat to and the landlord and landlady were both great, there were quite a few locals in there and everyone smiled and chatted, I wish I lived closer as their sunday lunches are great - got to pre-book as they are normally full over the weekend.
I have visited loads of different pubs around Buckinghamshire and although this one is small it really is worth a visit!

The Kings Head is owned by The National Trust. It is a fantastic property as it has a pub, coffee and book shop, designer clothing shop (and the local tourist information bureau from March 05) all surrounding a 16th century courtyard - which is a suntrap in the summer with sun all day long. It really is a Freehouse in the traditional sense and has a fantastic constantly changing range of guest ales.
I have been to several events in the pub and courtyard and they have all be great fun (just watch the cobbles when you have been drinking) They have regular beer festivals, quiz nights and music sessions alternate sunday nights and there was a great band playing there last week.

Big changes since I was last there, National Trust no longer run pub but still run rest of the site - what a shame. The pub looks great and completely non smoking, very comfy and bright but not quite as traditional as before. Still same staff which is good as they are quite chatty. The courtyard is lovely in the sunshine. no sign of the tourist information bureau which was supposed to be there by now. No longer a freehouse - a shame, the changing real ales were great - but the chiltern brewery ales are very nice. Previous comment says baby changing facilities available but pub doesn't have a childrens certificate. Food was great, quite simple but fresh, quick and tasty. Not currently serving food in the evenings but have said will do soon. A very good time just very different from last visit.
