A pub in the centre of [[Locale Crouch End|Crouch End]], part of the [[Category Mitchells And Butlers|Mitchells &amp; Butlers]] [[Category Castle Pubs|Castle]] sub-chain.

There are plenty of places to drink in this up-market area of town, and the Kings Head is certainly popular enough with the locals.  At 8pm on a weekday evening most of the tables are taken and the place resounds loudly, though some people head off downstairs when the comedy gets going.  It's nicely appointed inside, with a number of different areas to sit, such as a red velvet banquette area with subdued lighting, or another near the windows at the back, surrounded by chain curtains.

The bar itself features a wide range of draught beers.  There are four handpumps, and on an August 2008 visit one was off and the others had London Pride, Hydes Bells & Whistles, and Old Rosie cider.  Lagers include Staropramen, Amstel, Peroni, Budvar, Grolsch, Franziskaner, Hoegaarden, Leffe, Fruli, Aspall's and Addlestones.

Food is served noon-10pm daily.  The menu is the same as at other Metro Professionals pubs, with sharing dishes as well as larger plates.  In August 2008, [[Ewan]]'s 'veggie nicoise' salad had nice hummous with plenty of pitta, fresh leaf salad and marinated peppers, though the aubergines were a bit tough and tasteless <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/2809875360/ photo]</small>.  Nothing particularly spectacular.

Downstairs is a popular comedy club (with occasional live acoustic and jazz music).  [http://www.downstairsatthekingshead.com/ Listings] can be found online.

There's a pub quiz advertised every Wednesday at 8pm.
