See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

Reopened with a name change after a short closure in November 2017 as a pub and a wine bar. It has been tastefully refurbished with the original features retained and enhanced. The Royal Head was an amalgamation of two pubs, Royal Oak and Kings Head, in the 1960's. Even to this day it is known locally as the "Kings". The larger of the new rooms has many original beams, an inglenook fireplace and original distinctive stone walls. The smaller room is in the wine bar style set up for eating. There are plans to renovate a third room in the style of a Greek Taverna, available for hire for private functions. Tapas food is served daily in both bars from 6.00 - 8.30 pm. There is also a wide range of wines and cocktails available, premium lagers and bottled local cider.
