party drinks

Jan 2020 • none

went to meet friends for my birthday party drinks. arrived earlier and had my tea there. ham, egg and chips, followed by my favourite soft drink. Old Mout, Cherry Berry Cider. this pub is very dog friendly too. resident dog Benson greeted everyone, adults and dogs alike! great meal cooked by Steve. all staff and customers spoke to me. a very friendly pub. small but very welcoming, singles not allowed to sit on their own, soon linked up with other singles.

Sunday Lunch

Feb 2020 • none

a most welcoming pub, a bit on the small side. does some very good Sunday lunches, a choice of 3 meals. good company, and a pub that welcomes dogs. I shall certainly go there again.

Great Sunday lunch

Oct 2019 • couples

After many visits to the pub for social drinking I decided to try the Sunday lunch menu. Good decision. I had the beef bourginoin pie with all the trimmings and "wifey" had lamb shank. Wow!!! All home made and cooked by landlord Steve and service provided by landlady Helen.Top value and great quality. Love this place and could not recommend it highly enough.

Excellent vegan curry

Sept 2019 • none

Despite it being a very busy saturday afternon with live music in the garden, the service was fast and the meal was delicious. A mushroom, chickpea and spinach vegan curry with just the right ratio of sauce to texture, served with a good portion of perfectly cooked rice and even some naan bread to mop up the plate. A large portion so I didn't manage to finish it, which is inheard of for me! I'd definitely recommend the curry here and there are plenty of other excellent looking choices on the menu too.

Great service

Jul 2019 • family

The King’s Head were so lovely in helping to organise and hold the wake for our Nan. At such a delicate time for our family, they catered to all the food requirements we requested and nothing seemed too much for them. We received wonderful service from the staff and management. We can not thank them enough.

Lovely friendly place, delicious food!

Jul 2019 • family

We booked a table for our party of 11 for dinner, which included 5 children. The owners were very friendly and accommodating, the pub has a nice feel to it and a garden in the back. The menu is not over - complicated, which is a relief to see. We had a lovely friendly service and while waiting for the food the kids even were offered bubbles to blow in the garden. There's also a very friendly pub dog :) The food was absolutely delicious. The kids had bratwurst (proper German ones), others tried the chilli sausage, burgers and two of us had a chicken curry. The burgers and sausages come from the local butcher. The chicken curry was one of the tastiest I've had and a huge portion too - it was all cooked from scratch, in house. It was better than some Indian restaurants or takeaways would offer! We all left with full tummies, and a smile on our faces. We'll definitely return if in the neighborhood again and I would definitely recommend this lovely, friendly place with their delicious food.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. The authentic bratwurst and currywurst on the menu often raises a few comments. :) We look forward to welcoming you back when you are next visiting the area.

So welcoming!

May 2019 • friends

My friends and I stopped here on a cycle towards Brighton. As we had some vegans in the group, we called ahead the day before and they made a batch of delicious vegan burgers and vegan bread rolls specially for our group. All of the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Such a great pub - we will definitely be returning.

My favourite pub in Hailsham.

May 2019 • friends

I’m very lucky to have the King’s Head as my local, not only do they do a great selection of beers but the have the best Guinness on Tap. Helen & Steve look after everyone so well. The food is delicious, serving a fantastic roast on Sunday. And they have a brilliant beer festival in May.

what a wonderful surprise

Sept 2018 • couples

Not sure where to have a lunch to celebrate our 51st Anniversary and decided rather than driving around making a choice decided to keep it all local .Had noticed clapper board several times earlier stating carvery will be served on Sundays 1200-1600 and booking recommended. On off chance popped in at around 1230 to find pleasant dining area with couple tucking in. Sat down and were given menu-choices of 2 roasts with veg and next page were the puddings displayed. Had a traditional roast beef with Yorkshire plus 4 veg-if wanted more veg just ask very obliging owner and staff.. Choice of drinks were very good-as one would expect from a Harveys. Waddled home very contented and highly recommend you try it out yourselves!! The menu proudly advertised who the local suppliers were for their meat/vegetables-praise indeed .Well worth having one of the steamed puds served with plenty of custard-you could have ice cream instead. Not seen that before and nice touch. The cut of the joint was superb and melted in ones mouth. Get on over yourselves and enjoy good old fashioned grub in pleasant surroundings-even has spacious garden at rear .Adequate car parking spaces.
