★★★★★ 5.0 Don Nguyen · Dec 2025

We've been looking for a good fish & chip place & I have to say, this is probably the best in L.A. so far. My wife made a list of places she has found and most were disappointing. The fish here was well fried, not too greasy and the batter kept its crisp all the way through. The steak pie was delicious and you get quite a hefty serving of peas, corn & mash. The vegetarian sausage rolls and potato samosas were delicious as well. Definitely, want to try the pub side next time to see how it compares to the restaurant side. The shop is delightful.

We were wandering along the coastline in Santa Monica and looked for an eatery nearby. Kings Head was open, and we hadn’t had fish & chips in a while, so walked over. Very pleasant place - pub atmosphere inside and some sidewalk patio seating. We were promptly seated, and our server was attentive. We ordered the side salad and two piece fish & chips to share. If you’re not a big eater, it would be easy to share the two piece. The pieces are (seriously) the size of small burritos, and you get a pile of fries. The salad was mid-sized and nice. The photo posted gives you a pretty good idea of portion sizes. I would definitely recommend this place - and will keep it in mind when we’re in the area!

★★★★★ 5.0 Gordon & Kristina · Feb 2026

A Perfect Post-Cinema Stop in Santa Monica! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ After catching a great film screening of "THE GARDENER" down the street at the Laemmle Monica, Kristina and I (Gordon) were looking for a cozy spot to grab a late bite. We walked into Ye Olde King's Head around 9 PM, and it was exactly what we needed to cap off the night. The Service The absolute highlight of our visit was the service. We were taken care of by Amanda and Caroline, two lovely waitresses from England. They brought so much authentic charm, warmth, and top-tier banter to the table, making us feel completely at home the second we sat down. The Food & Drinks * The Pub Burger & Fries: We both ordered the pub burger, and it hit the absolute spot. Juicy, perfectly cooked, and served with a generous portion of hot, crispy

Always a wonderful time at the Kings Head. Pasty and chips and a pint of Strongbow served by the lovely Caroline. What more could you want? The Christmas decorations were up and the place is so pretty around the holidays.

★★★★★ 5.0 Cigal Shaham · May 2025

Great place for a lovely British tea!!! We had a delicious selection of mini crust less sandwiches, mini quiche, a scone with clotted cream and jam, a sponge, and an eclair for each of us. I got the vegetarian tea selection, which is ovolacto vegetarian and perfect. It was just what we wanted for a reasonable price (compare it to the price for similar in other places in Los Angeles if you think it's high - it's really not). Great service. Fun decor.
