Nestled in the tiny hamlet of Ruan Lanihorne, a few miles outside Truro, The Kings Head reflects its beautiful location with a sophisticated menu put together by a devoted team of chefs. Owners Andrew and Nikki Law, with years of culinary experience behind them, have gone to great lengths to maintain the traditional warm country pub ambience that has locals and visitors gathering here all year round.

All things Cornish hold pride of place here, with locally reared beef and locally caught fish. For lunch, there's a choice of Cornwall brie with chorizo, garlic tiger prawns pan fried in Pernod, Cornish crab pâté and trio of local sausages with onion gravy and parsley mash. Side orders include a warm herb flavoured foccacia loaf. Dinner options run the gamut of chicken breast with Parma ham, roast fillet of pork with plum and ginger sauce, fricassee of wild mushroom linguini and prime Cornish sirloin, fillet or rump steak. The roast terras of ruan duckling, slow roasted and served with a pepper sauce, is the establishment's signature dish. Round off with a classic toffee and ginger pie or baked lemon cheesecake. Local beer from Skinners Brewery or a glass of wine adds to the pleasure.
