Located just outside Holt close to the road junction on the A148 that leads down to the coast and Blakeney, the King's Head is unashamedly a family place, where free and easy rules. Which is not to say that serious adult food is not available - far from it. The old Georgian house sits well in a sylvan landscape, close to the former mill, with ample parking and a large garden in which musicians 'make the wrekin' ring'. The result is a relaxed al fresco atmosphere that appeals to those on holiday and locals alike.

A wide range of decent snacks or light meals is always available. For those looking for something a touch more filling select from tempura king prawns with sweet chilli sauce and mixed salad followed by main courses of crisp sea bass on sauté potatoes with olives, red onions, garlic and basil pesto. Puddings are delectable with the likes of kiwi and passion fruit pavlova and there is always an interesting array of local beers and wines.
