The King’s Head Worcester — Restaurant in Worcester

The new owners have excelled themselves in every way. The inside and outside is now completely renovated which makes it very cosy and comfortable with a relaxed vibe; food is now served every day from 1200-2030 with a roast on Sundays.

The food is absolutely great; a pub menu that makes you want to try everything with the right mixture of tradition and modernity, executed perfectly.

The triple cooked chips are delicious. By far the best chips in the local area; we had these with our fresh haddock, curry sauce, and mushy peas - all of which was tasty, not greasy and left you very satisfied. 11/10

We also tried the shin of beef pie with mashed potatoes. This too was a triumph. A real pie, not just a dish of brown mess with some cheap pasty on the top. This pie has flavour, was full of tender meat and the pastry wasn't greasy or too rich as can sometimes be the case! 10/10

For a starter we had the gorgonzola croquettes with pickled walnuts. Lovely texture, delightfully salty, sweet, sour and with plenty of umami. 8/10

All in all, I can't wait to go back and try the other dishes on their small but well thought out menu.

The prices are reasonable for the quality and the portion size certainly makes food here a good deal. £3.5-7 a starter, £11-15 for a normal main. The aged steaks are more expensive. The service is relaxed and friendly and the wait time for food was not long. Total cost for our meal (1 starter and 2 mains with 2 drinks) £40.

We have eaten at so many pubs in central Worcester and none of them come anywhere close to here.

Thank you so much for the great food. I'll be back very soon to try the other tempting dishes you have on your menu!

If I were to change a couple of things it would be; improve your drinks selection - more interesting local beers and a better selection of wine. Your food is so good it deserves a fitting...

I recently visited The Kings Head in Worcester for a Sunday dinner with a friend. The staff were incredibly polite and pleasant, which set a positive tone for the visit. However, there were a few things that could have been improved.

Firstly, they didn't ask about any allergies, which felt like an oversight, especially when serving a traditional Sunday roast. When the meal arrived, the carrots were a bit too salty for my taste. The beef was quite fatty, and despite being told it would come out pink, it wasn't quite as pink as expected. Additionally, I prefer my gravy on the side, but it was already poured over the dinner. I also wasn’t offered any condiments, such as salt, pepper, or sauces, which felt like a missed opportunity for better seasoning.

That being said, the meal overall was nice. The greens were particularly good, and the Yorkshire pudding was lovely. I enjoyed the food, and I ate all of it. However, I did feel that the £25 price tag for two courses, when you couldn’t just order a single Sunday dinner, was a bit steep. It would have been nice to have the option of just the roast without paying for a starter or dessert.

A small issue I noticed was the state of the toilets. There were cobwebs on the light shades, and the hand dryer didn’t work, which is a real pet peeve of mine. There were no paper towels available either, so I had to use toilet roll to dry my hands.

Overall, it was a pleasant afternoon, but there are definitely areas that could be improved, particularly regarding the pricing structure, condiments, and...

Oh dear kings Head!! We went for a family lunch today, we had the veggie platter, meat platter, fish chips mushy peas and the king burger and fries. The platters were excellent and just enough for two. The fish and chips ok, small amount of mushy peas and fish not a great size fish compared to what you used to serve. The king burger was more like a small princess burger, a very small meal for a growing 16yr old, or anyone really. King implies big!!! If only!! it was £12 which was definitely overpriced for the size. It was tasty tho. We were over charged on the drinks, not by much but still. When i was paying the man asked if the food was alright, I was completely honest as I assumed he would like constructive criticism...oh no not at all, he completely changed his attitude towards me, for the worst, so I popped my generous tip back in my purse. Also I think they forgot our order as others got served well before us. Crap customer care Kings Head, i would never treat a customer of mine in such a manner for being...
