Set on the outskirts of the New Forest in beautiful Whiteparish, The Kings Head is a cosy village pub with eight stylish rooms and a habit of making people feel right at home. There's a fire in winter, a garden that catches every last ray of summer sun, and a menu that changes with the seasons.
Run with genuine warmth and a love of good food, we welcome walkers with muddy boots, families with small faces, dogs with wagging tails, and friends who simply fancy a decent pint and a proper meal. We hope to see you soon.
When the fire's gone out and the last pint's been pulled, there's no need to drive home. Our eight stylish rooms are dressed for proper comfort — soft linens, good lighting, the kind of bed you sink into after a long walk on the Forest.
Perfect for weekend escapes, walkers tackling the Test Way, visitors to Salisbury Cathedral, or anyone who simply fancies a slower morning.
Book direct with us — if you find a cheaper rate elsewhere, we'll match it.
Well-behaved hounds welcome in selected rooms, complete with treats at the doggy bar.
A proper pub breakfast to start your day — locally sourced, generously portioned.
Minutes from the New Forest, Salisbury, and the Wiltshire countryside.
There's something for everyone at The Kings Head. Bring the family, the dog, the in-laws you're trying to win over — we'll find them a spot in the sun-trap garden or by the log fire, depending on the weather.
A generous garden that catches the afternoon sun. Picnic benches, parasols, room for the kids to roam — and a separate area where the dog can have a drink too.
Yes, really. Our four-legged friends get their own little corner of the pub — fresh water, treats, and a warm welcome from staff who genuinely mean it.
A well-kept cellar of local ales and a calendar that runs from quiz nights on the first Thursday of each month to Sunday roasts and the occasional live evening.
The pub is open seven days a week, with the kitchen serving through lunch and dinner. Food times differ slightly from pub hours — pop in any time for a pint, a packet of crisps or a proper sit-down meal.
Reservations recommended for dinner and Sunday lunch — particularly in the run-up to a bank holiday or quiz night. We'll always do our best to squeeze you in.
