Situated in the secluded village of Ruan Lanihorne, The Kings Head stands as a testament to Cornwall's rich history and culinary heritage. This 16th-century former coaching inn, lovingly restored by a local farming family in 2019, exudes rustic charm with its traditional architecture and inviting atmosphere. As a freehouse, The Kings Head takes pride in supporting local breweries, distilleries, farmers, and growers, ensuring that every pint poured and dish served reflects the best of the region's produce.
The pub's culinary offerings are a celebration of Cornwall's bountiful larder. Beef and lamb are sourced directly from the family's own farm at St Anthony's Head, where the animals graze on coastal pastures year-round, imparting a distinctive flavour to the meat. Seasonal game is procured locally, and fresh fish comes straight from the nearby sea, guaranteeing freshness and quality in every bite. The menu is thoughtfully crafted to cater to diverse tastes, with vegetarian and vegan options available. Notably, CornwallLive has recognised The Kings Head's Sunday roasts as among the top five in the Duchy, a testament to the pub's commitment to hearty, satisfying fare.
Beyond its food and drink, The Kings Head offers a cosy 'Bed and Breakfast' service for guests, travellers, and holidaymakers. Located on the top floor of the property, the accommodation provides free high-speed Wi-Fi and serves as the perfect base for countryside walks, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the Roseland Peninsula. The pub's family and dog-friendly ethos, combined with its beer garden and proximity to scenic trails, makes it a favoured destination for both locals and visitors seeking a genuine Cornish experience.
