The internationally renowned Kings Head Theatre Pub (as it was - see below) was founded in 1970 by the late great impresario Dan Crawford and was carried on by his wife, Stephanie. Run by one family for 41 years it remains a well loved local acquired by Young's in 2014. There has been a Kings Head on this site since the 1500s, but the current Grade II listed building dates from 1860.

It features Victorian decor covered with framed photos of well known actors who have graced the stage over the 41 years of the theater's presence, roaring fires in the winter, tables and chairs outside in the summer with a view of the leafy gardens of St. Mary's Church.
