Kings Head British Pub - British restaurant in St. Augustine - 6460 US-1, USA

I REALLY wanted to love it. The food was lacklustre. I had been looking forward to a proper sunday dinner that I didn’t have to cook but everything was so dry. The chicken was dry, the potatoes were dry, my husbands chips were dry. The veg had good flavour. The Yorkshire was good - nice and cakey, just how I like it. I understand this is preference but I enjoyed it. The heavy was minimal, I had to ask for more. The whole meal had the texture and taste of a reheated meal that had been sat out all day. And it was $60 for two of us. Two dinners and two waters. I was so disappointed. The atmosphere was on the cold and stark side.

I have lived here 10 years and passed Kings Head many times. A friend and I try new restaurants on Sundays a few times a month and this came up. It was alright. Food was good. Except the Sunday roast was tough. They don't serve full liquor only beer and wine. We wouldn't mind going again.

My wife and I have now eaten at Kings Head and it's been great every time. Kings Head is a true British Pub and Restaurant and not a cheap imitation. The inside of it is exactly like some of the many pubs that we visited during our two weeks in England a few years ago. We've mostly been served by Heidi who has been there 30 years and she's always terrific and she runs a pretty tight ship but last night we were served by Abby. Abby was sweet and attentive and we couldn't have been more pleased with her. The food is about as authentic as any English food that you are going to find in Florida. Our friend and I had the Bangers and Mash while my wife had the garlic shrimp. We started with their delicious sausage balls and we we're completely satisfied as usual. Kings Head has all the British favorites. Fish and chips, cottage pie the like a long with a couple of somewhat American fair like burgers and fish sandwiches. I think that the next time we go I will try the seafood pie. It's fish and shrimp in a cream sauce covered in Mashed potatoes and it looks really good. We really like Kings head every time that we go and I think that you will too if you give them a try. It's a great place for a family meal or a couple of pints with friends.

This is definitely a hidden gem. We passed it and turned around to give it a try. Wow! We were very impressed! The food was phenomenal! It was fresh and hot. The desserts were cool and tasty! The service was spot on as well! If you are looking for authentic British food, you should go here. We will be back next time we come to the area.

Scotch egg and chips $17+ frozen chips that had been left over and refried totally over cooked but yet only warm inside. What sort of establishment can't cook British chips !!!! Scotch egg blackish on outside and only it had already been cut I would not have been able to cut with the cutlery provide again warmish suggesting had been previously cook before. Chips were sent back and it took over 10 minutes to be brought to table without even an apology. Two things on the plate not even garnish. Cod and chips $23 same result batter was greasy and fish Luke warm but fish itself was decent. Again no garnish. Tub of mustard 50 cents lol. Pint $8+ glass of wine $11. Had 3 different people serve us . The initial person who brought the food knew it was substandard and totally ignored our attention . Would not advise any person to visit for a meal a total disgrace to trade under BRITISH ethos. Memorabilia decent but saw nothing of present Monarch the King. Was so looking forward to this visit resulting in a total let down . Would be ashamed to bring visitors from UK this pub.

We stopped here primarily for Scotch eggs, which I've had in innumerable places. This was the first I've had served with broon sauce (H&P) instead of some variation of remoulade. Brown sauce being the go-to in Scotland, I figured I'd give it a go. $17 for one Scotch egg quartered? Yikes! And I believe it was baked versus fried. We also tried their variation of bangers and mash, which was battered. I've never had a banger that didn't include fennel but perhaps Irish and British are different. At least, they didn't explode. I suppose they were good, just not what I've come to expect of a banger. I was also disappointed to find they didn't have Innis & Gunn as one of the beers stocked.

Atmosphere was completely unique, I guess that’s why you come here. You definitely do not come here for the food. Fish and chips for $23 should not come with what appear to be frozen French fries.. Like Orida crinkle cut. Fish portions were small and greasy. I could also comment on the fisherman’s Pie which was not a pie but a bisque. Fisherman’s bait and switch. This place is worth half what they charge… but alas the beer was good. Come to drink and skip the food. There is fun to be had with the dart boards and decor.

Love this place. Definitely would like to come back and try something different. Food was tasteful and it is a good place to go to eat.
