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.

A pub in the centre of Crouch End, part of the Mitchells & Butlers "unbranded" 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.
