The menu is the same as at other [[Category Castle Pubs|Castle]] 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>.

A pub in the centre of Crouch End.
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.
