Rediscover this unique historic Coaching Inn

The King's Head front entrance 
The King's Head

Set in the heart of this historic market town, the King's Head is one of England's best preserved coaching inns. Dating back to 1455, the building has many fascinating architectural features, including rare stained-glass windows, exposed wattle and daub and the original stabling for the inn.

Did you know that famous visitors to the site included Oliver Cromwell and Anne Boleyn? Have you heard about the Grey Lady and the mysterious Nun who haunt the rooms?

The Farmers' Bar

The National Trust's partnership with the Chiltern Brewery, a highly regarded local family firm, has resulted in a complete refurbishment of the bar. The Chiltern Brewery have been careful to retain the essence of this beautiful grade II* listed building but have also made some positive changes.

Food is served Monday to Friday from 12noon until 2pm and Saturday 12noon until 3pm. Dinner 6pm until 9pm Wednesday to Saturday. Food is sourced locally and is freshly prepared wherever practical. Unfortunately children are not allowed in the bar but are welcome elsewhere on site. More information is available by phoning the pub directly on 01296 718812.
