The Kings Head

About

The Kings Head is a charming, family‑owned free‑house pub nestled in the quiet village of Ruan Lanihorne on Cornwall’s picturesque Roseland Peninsula. From the moment you enter you’re greeted by a cosy, traditional atmosphere and a wide selection of locally brewed ales, craft beers, and fine wines. The pub prides itself on sourcing the freshest meats from the family’s own St Anthony’s head farm, where lamb and beef graze the coastal pastures year‑round, and offers seasonal game and fresh seafood straight from the sea. While the kitchen has been closed for winter, the venue now hosts lively event nights featuring guest chefs, pop‑up feasts, and celebratory evenings – perfect for a relaxed drink after a day of Cornwall’s stunning scenery. Dog‑friendly grounds and a welcoming open‑fire create a relaxed community hub for locals and visitors alike. The Kings Head also offers a Bed & Breakfast on the top floor – currently undergoing renovation, but once available will provide comfortable rooms and a hearty continental breakfast. With affordable dining, friendly service, and a dedication to local produce, this hidden gem is an ideal stop for travelers seeking authentic Cornish hospitality.
