About Tigers Head
Pub with a menu of traditional British dishes & a family-friendly vibe.
Situated in a picturesque spot opposite both 15th C. St Nicholas Church and the green, this popular dining pub follows the standard Chef & Brewer format, with the atmosphere being more that of an upmarket restaurant. However, casual drinkers are still welcome but seating inside may be restricted for dining only, especially at busy periods.
Various tastefully decorated rooms and cosy areas lead off from the main bar, with all tables laid out and reserved for dining. The wooden bar is decked out in dark grey with a few tables available for drinking only but can also be reserved for dining. Wooden and brick pillars separate the bar area from the various dining areas, with wooden beams and shades of blue and grey on the walls with framed prints. The flooring is a mix of wood and flagstones. The dim lighting provides a cosy and intimate atmosphere.
Weekends are usually busy, especially for Sunday Roasts, at which point table service may be in operation for drinks. Booking is advisable. On Friday to Sunday, the pub opens at 9.30 am for breakfast.
For outside drinking and dining, there is a large patio garden to the side, complete with flower troughs and pots. This also contains a large covered lean-to with decking as well as cabins with framed prints on a tiger theme (non-smoking). A small mobile bar is present for the summer months.
Cask ales are now solely from Greene King.

We sat in the beer garden on a lovely got day We started with some cider and a honey gin with was lovely Despite it not being busy, the service was very slow, and the wait staff weren't very intentive to clearing our table or asking if we wanted more drinks. I did think the food was nice, however.

This is a wonderful place. The atmosphere was lovely, the food was amazing. And the service, which is the only part I can comment on with some authority with my background, is first class. JIMMY and SCOTT treat everyone so well (and professionally) along with the team of staff they have with them. I would not hesitate to recommend this pub. It's a jewel right here on our door step. I don't remember the last time I could not choose which was better the food or the service. The group of friends I went with and I have not stopped talking about this place. A dream of mine would be to say the…

Really lovely food, service was great on a busy Friday. Just great all around. Staff are super helpful, friendly. Just couldn’t really ask for much more.

The ambiance of the restaurant was pleasant, and the Maitre'd warmly welcomed us. Our waitress was polite and helpful throughout. We started with pre-meal cocktails—the bramble twist Bombay was nice, but the winter berry bellini was disappointing, lacking raspberries and served in a quantity of just over half a prosecco glass, as evident in the photograph. Moving on to the main courses, both were underwhelming and served at a lukewarm temperature. My apple tart dessert had soggy pastry, and the coconut vanilla ice cream was tasteless and icy. Unfortunately, my dining companion and I fell…
