Kings Head British Pub - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

What a great place, fish n chips are the best around. Ice cold beer too.

As a British person, I would not use this place as an example of an English experience, far from it. The food is horrible and is nothing like UK products. They've taken local food and manipulated it to be different, imported a few expensive items to carry the idea, and overcharge as much as possible. The kissass service is to flease you for a tip. The place survives on a few locals swinging by for game night or two with a sorry big screen. It needs proper management. To any visitor, please dont imagine this be English or British quality....it is not !

Wonderful spot for fish and chips! Will definitely be going back!

The first time I saw on google maps this restaurant I wanted so badly to visit it and have the British food experience by my first time. We did it and in my personal experience this is the kind of places you go and won’t come back. The waitress was really kind. I had the famous fish and chips but it was so greasy! The fish did not have good flavor and I got sick.My husband had shepherd’s pie it was good. Prices are $$$. The decoration it’s beautiful and they have taking into account small details.

We love this pub. Great drinks, staff and food. Cozy and friendly.

Such a cozy pub and some of the best Fish n' Chips in St. Augustine! Try the sausage rolls for an appetizer!

Such a fun place to visit. The King’s Head British pub is a bit in the middle of nowhere though not inconveniently far from things. It is on Route One, north of the St Aug airport and south of Palencia. It has a very authentic British pub feel with amazing beers on tap, very good British food and even a cider or two. Some other reviewers had referred to it as cozy or warm. They are on the mark. I had the fish and chips which had a piece of haddock that was the size of my forearm. My lovely wife had a cheese and broccoli quiche. We shared a peach and cream tart which was delicious and incredibly difficult to explain….apologies for not taking pictures. This is definitely a great place to spend an hour or two and forget you are not in the UK.

Great food, great service n food was excellent.

Kings Head is a really cool authentic English pub smack in the middle of old Florida. They’ve created a fantastic vibe both inside and out, with a real old London bus, red phone booth, and lovely outdoor garden seating. Inside, you’ll feel like you’ve teleported back to a proper small town pub. The décor and careful curation are nearly perfect. Food offerings are authentically English too. We enjoyed fish, chips, sausage rolls, and I sipped a Fuller’s London Pride on draught for the first time since last being in the UK. What a special surprise! I sincerely recommend paying a visit to Kings Head for a uniquely British experience if you’re ever in this neck of the woods.

One of the most unique dining experience I have had in a while!

Absolutely amazing! Wife and I stopped for a drink and end up getting dinner here last night was so good, love the atmosphere, driving by today on our way back to our hotel and had to stop to grab lunch again! Will absolutely be back every time I’m in town, highly highly recommend. If you’re questioning if this is place to grab a bite or a drink it absolutely it is!!

Food is amazing, most authentic British cuisine. Try the Fisherman’s pie if you’re looking for comfort food , but the fish and chips is my personal fave. Great people , awesome atmosphere, great chill spot to grab a Guinness!! This has become my fave lunch / Dinner spot!!! Wish I could give more than 5 stars …. Food is soooooo fresh

We have been faithful patrons for years but today I must say our meals were awful. No cod, so we took as suggested the haddock and for $23.00 it was horrible. The fish was greasy and lacking flavor. The new fries were okay but I missed the steak fries. Thinking it would rebound I asked for desserts. Chocolate cake? Where's the rhubarb pies, it's season. No sticky toffee pudding? For $50.00 plus 20% tip I feel like we won't be back. Also missing some familiar faces, I asked if there was a new owner. The cod and fries at Culver's for half the price was twice as good. Reading some reviews I see I'm not the only one disappointed. Sorry to wrote this but hopefully after a bit we will try aging.

Quaint and cute! Great service!

We see this place went time to head towards St. Augustine, so decided to give it a try for date night. Love the ambiance that resembles a small English pub. The service was great and good was very good! Highly recommend and will be back.

My wife and I stopped by here for lunch while vacationing in the area. There is off-street parking and the decor is what you would expect from a British pub. The menu is traditional British fare and not very extensive so I recommend you check it out online before you visit. They have a small selection of English and Irish beers with one English cider by the bottle. The staff are also friendly and willing to answer any questions you have about the menu selections. I would recommend this place for a bite to eat if you are in the mood for traditional British fare.

The Kings Head captures the pub atmosphere perfectly. I’m from the Uk and always imagine I’m back home every time I visit. The food is great just a little pricey hence the 4 stars.

Beautiful place!! It makes you feel like you are in London. I will never forget the sensational moment I lived in that place.

Will definitely go back for the food!!

Great food and atmosphere, put on the Man United game for us, go devils!

Great place for food, brew and live music

Usually have the fish and chips which is awesome. Decided to try the Sunday Roast this visit. Big mistake. Awful fatty meat. Stick to the fish and chips!

Very much an English pub. The menu is not extensive. Would've liked to have had a few more menu options. Service was fantastic. Great atmosphere, not very loud. Outdoor area for music

Absolutely horrendous meal at this restaurant. I ordered the fish pie, and what came out was nothing of the sort. Basically a microwaved fish chowder tasting like it came from a can. A single piece of puff pastry placed on top. This hardly qualifies as a pie, and to charge nearly $18 is insane.

As an Englishman living in Florida 'British pubs' are so often disappointing, too busy trying. NOT this Kings Head. NO bling bling, NO too loud music or bright lights, just the real deal. I was served a great pint of ale and ate well, apart from Sunday lunch, when I ate like a king. This kings Head, could be dropped in any English village & would blend right in. They have all the requirements, great beer & food, a welcoming ambience, staff who are attentive, enthusiastic & engaging. without the Ra Ra. Hats off to Heidi, her crew & the owners.

Great food, people and atmosphere.

Absolutely fantastic service and food and a great atmosphere this is a place everyone should visit

Food was almost ok with that sat-out all day dryness. Beer selection was good but no Liqueur. Whaaa... Staff said Elaine was a Certified Chef but discovered she is not listed with the American Culinary Federation?? No other credentials anywhere on-line?? Please respond with answer so we can trust the "Certification" since we have guests to impress over the next frew months. Suggestion: Please hire another waitress or 2. Thanks!

We visited on St Patty's day, late afternoon. Authentic offerings and a nice British beer menu. The service was friendly but very understaffed.

I had a very good fish sandwich there today. Very fresh and a good portion..My husband also enjoyed his cottage pie.

Did not have any food. Only had a glass of wine, for 2 glasses of so so wine $27.00, absolutely ridiculous, the bottle was probably half that price at least. Does the owner think we are in the hamptons??? The staff was wonderful and very nicely decorated! But price for a half of glass of wine is crazy, will not be going back!!

Authentic. Great beer choices on tap.

I Was Given the Wrong Menu from 2017 ?? ... WOW!! How Prices Have Changed! Stopped by the Kings Head British Pub for lunch and drinks. Good service, food was ok. (so-so). Not what I expected from an "Authentic" British Restaurant. Head Chef (the very attractive - Elaine Frew of St Augustine ) was missing - again ?? Uncle Mike snapped a good pic! Thank you!

As genuine a British pub as you are likely to find in Florida. Authentic food, very friendly service.

A really cool place to visit (once). You don't have to wait til' your birthday to celebrate! Food was ok, service was great! Not what I expected from an "Authentic" British Restaurant. Was given a menu from 2013 ?? Discovered many items were not on the up-to-date menu, and WOW how pricing has changed! Too expensive for me! I'll go Downtown for the same price ...

Overpriced, didn’t have their speciality breads and cheese, like before. They overpriced a seemingly “ store white bread” baguette for 5 $ a basket, we had it twice, when the bread should be part of the menu with the amount of food and drinks that we ordered, .The seafood pie had a so-called “bisque “white sauce with very little seafood in it, ( it was a bowl of soup, not a pie) , It was a very disappointing experience, especially when we got the extremely high bill. We probably won’t go back there again.

I enjoyed the food and customer service was great .

We love this place! Best fish and chips! Proper! Great place for a great beer too! A gem!

I have to say that nearly everything was awesome….. except the “ gravy” for the chips was warm juice NOT a real gravy like Bisto . Kinda disappointed in that but otherwise great stuff.

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.

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.

This is from a visit back on November 11th. Loved the decor and the food. Heidi helped during our dinner, she was great thank you!

Great food, great experience. Not a lot of choices as far as food goes, but still really wonderful place to go. Does not have liquor though by the way

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.

Eating the fish n chips was like I pulled into Faslaine in a submarine yesterday and today I stumbled into a pub at 3am to soak up more beer with some painfully hot salty vinegar soaked cod wrapped in a greasy newspaper after watching the Gers destroy Celtic, dancing with pretty scottish girls and pissing in the street because they wouldnt let me back in. I'm getting liberty risk but it's so worth it. The only thing missing is a head rest above the urinal. Please serve Haggis for breakfast and call me when it happens. I will be there.

Very legit British pub! The ladies are super friendly! Get there early or they may run out of the special items on the menu.

Best English I've eaten in the States. Staff are brilliant.

This was our 3rd time here. Husband is British, so we love finding a pub with real pub food. Fish and chips is excellent! Flaky fish, not oily. The mushy peas were really good, and the cottage our was good. Authentic Engligh food if you're in the St. Augustine area

Definitely have to stop by this place if you are nearby. Definitely has the ambience of a real pub. servers were fast and quick. The food was phenomenal. Definitely recommend the sausage in a blanket.

Very cool, nostalgic place and friendly service!

Was out of cod and other dishes that we came for. House wine was 14.00, which I thought was high. Food was good.

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.

Loved the place...Friendly staff...Comfy...Food was pretty good. I had a lot of fun eating here as did my mates. Took me back to my local pub which was called...The Victoria Inn. The only thing missing was a dart board, a couple of slot machines. pork scratchings and picked eggs sitting on the bar...

Wonderful staff. Abby Barmaid was a real treat. Great selection of British beer on tap. Good selection of British foods. Will return.

I enjoyed the atmosphere of the place. The place is British like, as is the food.

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.

Can’t not believe you guys charge $13.00 For house wine plus the wine taste stale

Close to authentic English Pub. Waitress was fantastic. Fish and chips were great!

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.

The sausage rolls and the Scottish eggs were delicious. Service was attentive and the pub had an authentic English pub feel, including their beer which is what you'd drink in pubs in England.

the food and service was ok, eventhough there was only one other occupied table when we arrived service was slow. We were never offered a second drink. The menu has half the selections that it had the last time we were in. I would have had the fish and chips but they are way over priced. We love the look and feel of an authentic british pub but this was probably our last visit

Food was great ,atmosphere is definitely English . You can eat and talk with friends and not have to yell. Loved it.

Very nice place good food. They also hold car shows from time to time.

The food was so good! Biggest Fish and Chips I have ever seen. The restaurant itself is so comfy and cozy. It's a great place to experience. 😊

Great authentic looking British pub. Ordered the fish and chips to go but, fair warning for other to-go lovers, they don't have any to go cups for drinks or to go utensils. Had to stop at a nearby gas station for a coke. The fish and chips was pretty good, but just a little on the soggy side rather than flaky.

If your looking for a five star restaurant this is not the place. We also felt that the prices were high. $23 for fish and chips paired with a $13 glass of wine is a bit pricey for an establishment like this. That being said the food and service was very good and have no complaints. If a night with live music and a cold glass of Guinness is what you want this is the perfect place.

Love the atmosphere, the carpet keeps the noise to a minimum. Nice for an enjoyable dinner with friends!!

A little piece of England in St Augustine. I've been told everything in the pub is authentic except for the ceiling heights which the fire department would not allow to be lower. Super cozy place great food in a friendly staff. Especially love it in the winter when they have a fire in the fireplace. They have traditional roast every Sunday but you better reserve one because they go fast.

Large parking area, a cozy atmosphere, excellent customer service and the BEST Shepherd's pie!!!

Cool place, with great beer, and good service, but really bad food.

Great pub atmosphere, and great food. 👍

Nice, quiet, nice music, great service, Great fish and chips, salad, beer and wine only, fyi. Thanks to all but esp great chefs and food purchasers! Highly recommend.

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.

Cool place, food was delicious and greasy as expected. Not great for somebody with a dust allergy but take that in to consideration, pop an allergy med, and enjoy the atmosphere. Review the menu before your visit to review the price$ - they’ve gone up.

Lovely British pub with authentic food and atmosphere. Great staff too!

The fish and chips ae delicious. No un needed seasoning and highly recommended. I enjoy mine with malt vinegar because it slaps, also this fish busts wit a bit of tartar! No sides other than fries ,which at first i was a bit disappointed but honestly doesn't need a side. The order of fish you get is like a foot long and beautiful.

Excellent Food!! Excellent service and great meeting place!

Great afternoon stop. Fish and chips are wonderful. Service is top-notch. After a fine meal, my grandson and I engaged in a nice game of darts. After all, it is a pub. Darts provided by the bar keep. We had a blast. Highly recommend this restaurant.

limited but good menu. A bit pricey for the menu, but it is an authentic pub experience.

My family and I just moved to St. Augustine. We’ve been wanting to try this place ever since. Last night we decided to go in. It was super cool. Pretty authentic for a British Pub in America. Food was delicious! Beer and wine good! Staff AMAZING! I’m giving 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️ because the place was extremely hot 🥵 and prices were very high for a restaurant outside the tourist area and off the beaten path.

Nice little pub with good food and cold beer. True to being a British Pub...great atmosphere.

We’ve been coming here for over a decade and we were disappointed for the first time in all those years. They had been closed for renovations for a short period. When we returned, we found the ambiance had diminished due to most of the art and artifacts removed along with added bright lighting which took away from the coziness and uniqueness that we loved so much. We completely understand the prices had to change to keep up with the economy, but with the drastic change in prices overall, the reduced portion size of the fish & chips has sadly lead us to look elsewhere. The one constant is the level of service. It’s always been outstanding. We feel it was a bad business move to go in this direction.

Love this place it’s so quaint and authentic looking. I’ve been to London to real pubs this is pretty good! Loved the food and service !

The CUTEST little pub!! Amazing atmosphere! So chill. Staff are amazing. Food is superb! Cottage pie, bangers and mash, sausage rolls, and bread basket for dinner and let me tell you.. so so so so good. You won’t regret it. Go. Eat. Drink. Great for kids too. My girls demolished the chicken nuggets and Mac n cheese. 1000% recommend! But don’t tell too many people how good it is so it doesn’t get crazy busy 😝

New favorite place! Well decorated. Very authentic. Food was awesome. Two thumbs up. 👍

Food is great, We had 2 people waiting on us. Love the old pub atmosphere.

VERY OVERPRICED! FROZEN Food AND GREASY Food And Spoiled Carrot! NOT FRESH! BATHROOM STINKS LIKE DEATH! The waitresses were friendly and smiling which was the only positive.

Great British pub. Food is always delicious and the staff are wonderful. We keep returning for the food and ambiance.

Food was good but pricey. Great service but not many in the place when we visited.

Food was good. Atmosphere was great. Felt like I was right in a pub in London. My dad had a blast!

This is an experience you can’t miss when you come to St Augustine! Authentic British cuisine.

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.

Best fish and chips I ever had. The sausage rolls appetizer was amazing. Definitely the best fish and chips in St. Augustine. I have tried the others. They don't compare to kings head.

Closed, closed, closed. I tried 4 times different dates. Maybe they close it when they see me on the parking lot

The food and drinks were a bit pricy ($23.50 for one piece of fish on a bed of fries and $13.50 for one glass of wine) but over all the food was delicious and would recommend trying the fish and chips.

On Two occasions on Different Sundays during normal business hours were not able to get in. Once door was locked and the other time was crowded and said they were not seating anymore people. Ill take my business elsewhere!!

British cuisine meant "unfussy dishes made with quality local ingredients, matched with simple sauces to accentuate flavour, rather than disguise it." Awesome atmosphere

First visit. Very extensive decorations from Britain. Had cod fish and chips. Large portion of fish but nothing special for $23.50. Over priced but it was an experience. I won't go back.

I love this place and try to visit it every time I come thru St. Augustine or Jacksonville.
