The King's Head - Spelthorne

I just popped in for the single pint on a long walk. It was a quiet Friday afternoon and the ale was fine. The lady behind the bar was friendly enough, the pub’s full of character and they have free live music on a Friday. Get down here.

Lady was pleasant, but i assume doesn't listen, how you get chicken wings from pork ribs i have no idea. Not everyone wants a dog begging at your feet when you just trying to relax and eat food you didn't order.

We visit Shepperton once a year and stay at Warren Lodge, we use the Kings Head for convenience and we were disappointed to learn that the Thai enterprise is no longer. However we carried on and tried the new food which I must admit was very tasty however service needs to get up to speed, lovely girl who served us but needs to get more with it. Wouldn't say no you shouldn't go here but also wouldn't say it was a must.

We booked for Sunday lunch a special occasion. We arrived slightly early to have a drink in the bar. Staff seem preoccupied and inattentive Altho we had booked we were told after Ordering due to a large party there was unlikely to be a roast left. We left the pub after our drink in total shock. The waitress/manager was so off hand. The food we saw looked pretty unappetising anyway tbh we felt almost fortunate to get out of there without eating! A very u happy experience. It’s a great pub/ venue with so much potential. Some staff training needed urgently. Suggest The Anchor over the road! Fabulous!

Owners puppies left nice mess for us to tread in and was told ‘well that’s what you get with a dog friendly pub’!!! They placed the puppies onto the actual bar not very hygienic. Barmaid was holding a puppy and when my husband went to order a pint, she gave puppy to someone to hold and preceded to pour his pint without washing her hands and no thought as to the dogs hairs on her jumper which could have gone into the pint! We are dog lovers and they were really cute but if they are not house trained, I don’t think they should be allowed in the pub. Having said all that the pub is lovely and Big Al’s band was superb. We shall definitely visit again but will watch where we tread!
