The Kings Head Inn - Great Ayton

The first time I've been trying a Sunday roast here for a long time. I was not disappointed, the beef was very tender with fresh vegetables and potatoes. the staff could not be really friendly anymore. I enjoyed my Kings head experience and will return. they are also dog-friendly as well as with ample parking on the back of the pub.

We've been here a few times over the years, but this was my first visit since Lockdown 1 delighted to say its as good as ever. Had a lovely family lunch here, as there were 8 of us we booked ahead, but the place was fairly quiet, it was the first Monday in April so best to book ahead. Orders are taken at the bar, the menu includes bar staples: haddock and chips, Whitby Scampi and Steak and Ale Pie. The pie deserves a special mention as its a proper pie, short crust pastry top bottom and sides, served with mash and root veg it was excellent. Big portions so even if you've walked to the top of Roseberry Topping you'll now leave the table empty! Staff were efficient, friendly and capable. They had leuven with the coffee machine, but kept us informed and had it fixed in 10 mins giving us a bit more time due the food to settle. We had a very nice time. Recommended!

On holiday in N Yorkshire met up with some friends. Pub was clean and tidy. Staff pleasant and made a fuss of our dog which was nice. Pub is situated on a main road which could get noisy but otherwise no negatives.

The King's Head Inn is very conveniently located at the bottom of a scenic viewing spot of the Roseberry Toppings. Nothing more refreshing that the homely feeling and pleasant smiles of the staff here. The service is unflawed and the food is delicious. It was busy at the bar the day we went but it was one of the hottest days of the year so to be expected I guess.

Fantastic pub, ran well, food lovely and good price. Its an Inn collection, can sleep here too. Service: 5 Location: 4
