Our bright, elegant dining room focuses on seasonal British gastronomy. Executive chefs craft inventive dishes using ingredients sourced directly from Gloucestershire and Cotswolds farmers, artisanal creameries, and British coastal fisheries.

Independent Brewing Legacy

Brakspear Double-Drop Cask Ales & Curated Wines

Operating under W.H. Brakspear & Sons Ltd (brewing since 1779), The Kings Head proudly pulls authentic real ales brewed with the traditional Double Drop fermentation system. Gravity-fed between fermenting vessels, this centuries-old process imparts a signature delicate butterscotch note and unmatched smooth character.

Our cellars also curate an extensive international wine list, crisp continental craft lagers, and botanical seasonal cocktails—including our signature Limoncello Spritz and the non-alcoholic Wild Berry Spritz crafted with handpicked British berries.

Our Agricultural Ethos

Sustainably Sourced from the Cotswolds

We take immense pride in supporting local Gloucestershire agriculture. Our dairy, meats, cheeses, and seasonal greens are cultivated by independent producers who share our passion for high animal welfare and environmental stewardship.
