  Taking over the helm of a well established pub, such as the Kings Head, could cause many landlords a few sleepless nights. This has not been the case for Stephen Alcock and his family Annie, Noah and Alfie, who have already created a warm and welcoming haven.
  The popular Kings Head ranks highly on a Google search with glowing TripAdvisor reviews. It is a flagship pub in Stamford, frequented by locals and visitors alike. The compact space is well utilised to afford a snug section, restaurant and a stunning walled garden.
  Booking is highly recommended as this popular venue is often fully booked throughout the week. Chef, Adam Sharp, is known for creating traditional pub fayre to an excellent standard as well as technical dishes that feature on the specials board. My friends and I dined on the Thursday ‘burger’ evening where the burgers (made from Nelson mince) are freshly cooked on the premises and the selection of toppings is endless. However, several of us opted for the fish of the day: a seared fillet of swordfish served with new potatoes, sun dried tomatoes and a delicious caper chilli butter sauce.
  Sundays are also very busy for Stephen and his team as the Kings Head roasts dinners are legendary, gracing Instagram the second the food is presented! The menu is seasonal and locally sourced, changing every fortnight to ensure regulars enjoy a wide variety of choice.
  The Kings Head is a pub that ticks every box, regardless of the weather. On a cold winter's day it is the perfect place to sit by the fire savouring a favourite tipple. The fabulous pile of pub games keeps the whole family happy. Having learnt to play ‘Shut the Box’ here, my son Fabian is now a master! The first sign of sun and guests are able to bask in the stunning sun trap garden. The walled garden is a very special hideaway, often left undiscovered by visitors as it is so well hidden. Pretty fairy lights and a natural décor of hanging figs makes this special place a jewel in Stamford’s crown.
