I was taken out in the evening to the King's Head in Old Town for my birthday. I previously had lunch there out the front in the bar for lovely fish and chips, and the fish came in a frying basket, which was a nice touch. For the meal in the evening this time the pan fried chicken in mustard sauce was the best meal I had for ages. We had the three course meal. I started with French onion soup which was also delicious. When we walked in there was Euro championship football on most screens in the modern looking bar, so I thought we would have to listen to that for the evening meal, but they took us to the more quiet room out the back which was nice. I didn't really understand how the menu work...
Arrived for the second sitting to a very noisy and crowded bar area, and although booked well in advance was offered a very small table for two on its own down some steps. Was offered another table next to the bar, then a third table at the back of the room near the carvery. Meat carved was good and vegetables fair, but the service non existent. No menus only a notice hung on the end of the carvery, and left to find our own way to the food. It was without doubt the noisiest Sunday Lunch I've ever had. Before we had finished eating tables and chairs were being noisily moved around behind us, and then the carvery trolley trundled out behind me. No one ever came to ask if we would like the seco...
I really can 't complain at £15 for three courses. Starters got top marks but things started to slide a bit thereafter.To begin with the room was decidedly chilly. We asked three times for some heating to be turned on, as did other guests but after three hours, we were still as cold as when we arrived. Some guests ate with their coats on. We asked if the teenagers could swap their tomatoes and mushrooms for some veg with their steak and the answer was no, despite everyone else having veg with their mains. And the dauphinoise spuds were very dry rather than creamy, which isn 't how we like them.Overall 20 promised much, and tried quite hard, but didn 't think enough about the customers.
We had a pub meal for a restaurant price. Rump Steak was undercooked (I asked for medium and received medium rare). Steak was also very hard to eat, even the steak knife could hardly cut it. Very little vegetables were served with it. And well fried french fries which tasted very starchy. Calamari appetizer was decent but a bit overpriced. Service was nice, and drink were good.

food was cold when served, staff was very rude, quite over priced for what you get. although i wanted to complain about the food there was no one to talk to, the water said that the manager is very busy with some important staff. On every restaurant the client is the most important thing, but here is different ....
Excellent place to eat and great value for money. £15 for a three course meal of this quality would be difficult to find anywhere.Quality and well presented food. Very well priced cocktails at £8 for two.Reasonably priced wines.Would certainly recommend this place.I will return
The Restaurant 20 is at the back of the pub in a closed off room. The food was good but expensive (well, actually, the lamb/goat was very chewy). It looked like more fun out in the main pub part of the building, and the food was fine there (I ate there at lunch time).
£16.95 for three courses, paella starter, duck to follow , great choice of puds. Loads more choices of starter and main. Excellent service, newly refurbished interior is very smart. Reserviere jetzt einen Tisch
Have had dinner here twice and it was the same. Good food , indifferent service and zero atmosphere. In fact dining room is in a windowless back room of the main pub.
Service a bit slow but nice decor and atmosphere, and a lovely place for a long lunch where no-one bothered you to get moving
