The King's Head, Aylesbury

Very pleasant place where drink a good beer and have good food too. cozy atmosphere. i love it. my preferred pub in aylesbury.

Came here for a few drinks on a friday night, and it feels like you've stepped out of aylesbury and into a village pub. good atmosphere, outside space & beer. can't comment on the food as haven't eaten here before, but would recommend for

This beautiful little pub is tucked away just off friar square. what a gem! it apparently dates back to the 1400s but while it has kept that olde worlde feel, the ambience and menu are right up to date. when you walk in, there are cosy nooks and crannies with a cosy fire in one corner. we were greeted by the low level murmur of customers spending time together and the wonderful aroma of good food. they also serve a good selection of beers brewed locally by the chiltern brewery. we ordered our food at the bar and there was a little wait for this to arrive. however, to say it was worth the wait is an understatement! i ordered duck leg with chestnut mash and buttery greens which came with a generous serving of 'gravy'. i cannot remember when i enjoyed a plate of food as much. the duck meat fell off the bone, the mash was soft and very tasty, the greens were just peppery (enough) and delicious. as for the gravy, i used the mash to mop up as much of the gravy as i could and then asked for a spoon so i could finish it off. my husband had steak and fries. the steak was done to perfection - rare as requested. we shared his tender portabella mushroom because too much mushroom doesn't agree with him and i love 'em. it was so tasty. we then both tucked in to apple crumble and custard which tasted like it had just come out of the oven at home - tart apples, crunchy crumble and creamy custard. every mouthful of this meal was piping hot and a real delight. my photos do not do this meal justice. we will be back, and if you find yourself with a couple of hours to spare and in need of food, please treat yourself to a visit to the king's head. the staff were friendly, helpful and smiley. when i asked if i could have a spoon for the gravy and how big the apple crumble was, the waitress returned with the spoon and a bowl to show me how big dessert is - and a happy face - she looked like she was enjoying her job. the food, the ambience and the staff were second to none. well done everybody!

Used this place back in the late sixties/early seventies. still the best pub in aylesbury from both historical and quality of beer point of view. latest visit confirms above. great beer and great prices with friendly staff.

It was a lovely pub in our stop at aylesbury, the ambience and the place itself has a fresh vibe and the food was really good as well. the outside seating space looked amazing and would be a treat for a nice summer evening. it was relatively busy in a weekday afternoon also when we went for lunch , so would presume it to be super busy during the weekends and would prefer to go with a booking. nice stop if you happen to be in or around the area. highly recommended.
