Described as a little slice of heaven , The Kings Head in Wye is the chic village eatery , where the portions are large , the decor has a contemporary clean feel , and the staff are ready to help you with anything they can . The food is classic , and quite frankly delicious , so while you wait why not enjoy a cheeky starter of halloumi chips ( who can resist a good bit of cheese on a Sunday afternoon ), or opt for a light Caprese salad . Be sure to pair your meal with one of The Kings Head ’ s delightful wines or local ales , and whatever your preference , the pub has something for you ; rump of beef with red wine ; herb braised shoulder of lamb ; or slow-roasted Stour Valley belly of pork – the decision is yours . Although if you are feeling particularly indecisive why not opt for a mix of all three ? All meals are served with a healthy helping of roast potatoes , carrot and swede mash , roasted parsnips , seasonal greens , and one whacking great Yorkshire pudding . Feeling especially hungry , why not get a side order of cauliflower cheese , or another few roasties if you just can ’ t get enough .
