I had cream tea in the river side garden on a "summers day in spring". It was a very pleasant environment, in an interesting and historic village with a nature reserve close by. The tea and scone was very nice. I ordered in the tea room and went into the bar to find the toilet. Staff were friendly and helpful. A minor shortfall was the gents toilet was a little smelly (common in pubs) and paper towels had run out recently judging by to the wet paper towels in the bin. I will enjoy a return visit and will investigate the menu more.

Stunning location for our mid ride cafe stop today. Great selection of cakes and the usual tea and coffee offerings. Views over the countryside alongside the river Nene. Seating inside and out in this fabulous setting. Excellent service complemented the wonderful experience.

We were visiting the area and this location was recommended to us so we tried it out.

When we visited there was ample parking. We visited for dinner on a week day evening.
The atmosphere was great, entrance was friendly. The staff were extremely informative, not just about the current day and menu but also taking the opportunity to enlighten us on a 'themed pizza' evening once a week. I liked that. They didn't need to be asked for 'of the day' options, they informed us while giving us our menus. The menu contained a good choice and well priced.

NOW!!! THE.. FOOD!!!! 🤤 I can't even begin to explain and I don't think I could do them justice by trying. All I'm going to say is FAULTLESS, perfectly seasoned and incredibly cooked!! We did starters and mains and we were both impressed.

THE ONION RINGS 😭 ....THE ....CRUNCH 🥳, I ALWAYS give the onion rings to my husband, NOT THIS TIME, oh no, I couldn't, how could I? They were exceptional! Also, the chips, my god, they're wonderful, crispy and fluffy.

Although you're an hour from our home, I will 100% be back! Thank you to everyone for our experience!

Nice looking pub and garden.
We booked a week ago specifically for Sunday Lunch. When we arrived the staff seemed a bit lost. When we sat down we had to ask for menus, and then ask for Sunday lunch menus. We were told they are not doing Sunday Lunch, The whole reason we booked for. The Website has a Sunday Lunch Menu, they just decided not to do it that day because according to the staff "No one wants Sunday Lunch when it's hot." It was 18c. There were other tables near us that all wanted Sunday lunch too, so 9 out of 9 people I counted all wanted Sunday lunch and had to eat from the bait-and-switch menu.
The staff were very disorganised and the main menu food was poor.

Really Nice and Peaceful place. It's Great looking down at the river on terrace or balcony what ever it's called. The Food there is Great. The Steak and Ale pie was very nice with great amount of meat in it and Pastry all round. Flavours was great and was Homeade as well. Would come again

Went for lunch today with my mother, who is 96, she found the stairs/slope to indoors a challenge but staff were really lovely and gave us advice on the easiest way in/out for future reference.
Service was lovely, staff very attentive, food was excellent. The menu when you get there is much more extensive than it looks on the website.
The gardens and decking areas are superb and our fault, we were put off sitting outside by a small rain shower but actually could have been much braver and sat out today. We will do next time!

Very dissapointed, after booking using a voucher I had been bought for my birthday I called and booked an afternoon tea. And I explained I have a nut allergy when they asked about any allergies.

On the day the few sandwiches came out, and then the cake plate the bottom plate had a almond cake with macaroon on it. Luckily my partner tasted it first. As my allergy isn't just a upset tummy I have an anaphylaxis shock that would have closed my throat had I eaten it.

They took the first plate away and brought a plate removing big slices of cake and replacing a small cube of cake. The food was nice but that's a serious mistake to make. And just say I'm sorry!

I don't think it's a value for money but nice as an expensive treat as long as you don't die.

Just had Christmas breakfast with Santa at The Kings Head.
The food was amazing and the service was perfect. Took a beautiful stroll by the river and then warmed up with mulled wine and hot chocolates. Then Santa brought personalised presents for the kids and visited them during breakfast. If you have never been before or are just stuck for something to do, I cannot recommend this place enough.
