The Kings Head — Restaurant in Dover

Called in for food, was told no tables due to quiz night, it was empty, we went down the road had a drink at the Zetland then went for food in the Rising sun, and walked back up the hill past this place and it was still empty, could it be they do not want campers in there on quizz night ? There loss we had several drinks two meals and two sweets so they lost our money and we will not visit again. They did not even try to accomodate us point blank No. We would of been happy to sit at the bar or in the tap room.

Your reply just shows how you treat others, you obviously do not know what a snowflake is, you have simply heard the word and feel it makes you sound good. I did get what I wanted, I got a lovely meal and a cold beer and received great service, met some great locals just not in your place. The way you have taken my review you appear to be overly emotional and easily offended, Sounds like your Snow flake comment refers to you. If your kitchen staff could not cope with two extra covers you have a serious problem, I guess that must be your problem you can not cope with more than 5 covers.

As for not knowing about the business, I have worked in the trade for many years, Have my On/Off licence and have had my name above many doors, I also used to work my Kitchens myself due to being a qualified chef, the only time I would turn down an order was when I run out of an item due to busy days. I have passed your place many times and found it to be closed, where as the establishments down the...

Often camping nearby, I have bypassed this pub many a time in desperation to get to the beach, but recently called in on the off-chance of getting a roast. The welcome was warm and friendly, with plenty of friendly village locals having a Sunday catch up. The roast menu was succinct (but in my experience that is not a bad thing) I got the impression that the meats were sourced locally - lamb, turkey and beef on the day. We both had the beef and it wasn't what we are used to in London (half alive and God forbid if you asked for medium) This was proper old school big joint of beef, carved like your mum used to, and being a bit of a bone broth nerd, I could tell this was real gravy - and lots of it! The horseradish sauce came in a pot big enough to scoop out a few dessert spoonfuls if we wanted too - none of that one squirt in a paper mini cup. Whoever is hidden away in the kitchen has been doing this, and doing this well for a very long time I suspect, not giving in to any 'jus' and 'foamed celeriac' trends. Whatever had been done with the parsnips was divine - I think it might have been the slow cooking and a bit of honey. The puddings on the board sounded like the ones you would also get at home - comforting and satisfying, but unfortunately, there was no room at the inn after the main! Must add that we had a fabulous bottle of red for under £20 that would have easily been £30...

My friends and I visited while we were roadtripping and camping through the UK per the recommendation of the campsite and we were so happy we did. The pub is everything I'd expect (as an American) of an old English pub. It was small, warm, welcoming, and had great beer. The owner even made us complimentary sandwiches at the end of the night while we were finishing up our last beers. We were by far the youngest people in the pub but we didn't feel out of place. Everyone was welcoming and even came over to talk to us. We didn't get a chance to try to the food because we came in late in the evening, but everything on their menu and in the reviews looks great as well. If I'm ever back in the area, I'd make this a...
