What User likes about The Kings Head:
Lovely pub in a quiet village location. Stayed nights and it was great value. Perfect spot for country walks and enjoying the local beers. Lovely bedroom. Very comfortable bed and powerful shower.

The Kings Head in Kettlewell offers a mixed dining experience that reflects its storied past. While many patrons rave about the outstanding service and delicious meals, particularly the Sunday roast and slow-cooked brisket, some have encountered issues with cleanliness and inconsistent food quality. Outdoor seating has been critiqued for proximity to litter, and not all meat dishes have met expectations. Despite these shortcomings, the friendly staff, vibrant atmosphere, and commendable local products shine through, leading visitors to recommend it as a venue worth trying while exploring the area. Its deep-rooted charm keeps customers returning, despite occasional hiccups.
