Ye Olde Kings Head

After a long day in the countryside around Battle yesterday, we wound up here for dinner. It’s one of the nicest pubs I’ve been to in a long while!
The food was varied (although not a massive choice for vegetarians) and fairly priced for non-​chain pub fare my double egg, chips and beans came in at just under £6 and the boyfriend’s vegetarian cottage pie was just over £8. Both meals were delicious (some of the nicest chips and onion rings I’ve had in ages!) and the service was quick and very friendly.
I’d agree that the atmosphere in the pub isn’t the liveliest even at 8 9pm on a Saturday night the place was a bit quiet, but this was my first visit to Battle so can’t say if it’s like that everywhere. Still, it made for a nice meal and a much needed rest at the end of the day! With such lovely staff (and an adorable cat), I’d definitely return here.

This pub is located just around the corner from the carpark for Battle, so it’s certainly easy to get to. Harvey’s was on hand, as was a very interesting lunch menu including braised lamb’s heart — most dishes were under a fiver. Unfortunately it was a bit silent inside and we left to go find somewhere with a bit more atmosphere.
