Kings Head - South Lakeland

Only had a couple of drinks here as we were on our way for our tea. The lady at the bar was very chatty and friendly, put us all in a great mood. The bar was busy, it had a great vibe and we all had a really nice time.

Stopped for a quick lunch, went for the beetroot feta salad, OH had one of the hot sandwiches. Both very tasty need to come back and try the Thai evening. Staff were attentive, welcoming pleasant.

Thai dinner cooked to order. The sizes of the dishes were great value for money and had that really authentic Thai taste. I suppose having a Thai chef helps. Will visit again.

The Kings Head is a decent old pub. The furnishings and decor are of the traditional style but, typical of Marstons, are probably overdue a bit of refurbishment. The pub is clearly a popular “local” and it’s easy to see why. There is nothing twee or pretentious about it; it’s an ordinary boozer with good service, music and a telly or two. In short, a nice place to chill over a couple of pints.

Not in the same league as many of the other cask beer pubs we visited on our tour of Ulverston. Quite an eclectic crowd in here. Prices were fair though.
