Ye Old King's Head in downtown Santa Monica is a perfect little pub/ restaurant. We came here looking for delicious English food and were not disappointed. I started my meal off with the bangers and mash and they were banging. My wife got the steak, Guinness, and mushroom pie and it had an incredible flavor profile. We got the rhubarb crumble as our desert and it was heavenly. The bird custard is to die for. Our waitress was also incredibly friendly and well versed in the area. 10/10 would definitely return here if I was in the area
It was very good, my fries could have been a little fresher but still good... Also, I didn't complain so I didn't give them a chance to correct, i think they would have.
Christine was very nice and fun. Next time I'm in town, I'd be glad to return. Let me know if you want to try it out next time I return.
Great service in traditional British pub setting. Plenty of seating both indoor & outdoor. Good selection of food & also several beers on draft.
Evening karaoke goers livened up an already fun pub atmosphere.
Located in heart of downtown Santa Monica, nearby central shopping district.
Savory and delicious food. Ordered the chicken and mushroom pie, clam chowder and brussel sprouts. I got full rather quickly and had to get a doggy bag. Our waitress was bright, cheerful and witty. We enjoyed her. Would definitely go back to this establishment.
I love this place. The prices have gone up but so has the quality. Had some Black and Tans and the fish and chips. That fish is crispy and oh so light! Delicious!
The fish portions are large so I got the queen size which comes with one piece of fish. The king size comes with two pieces. Plus chips (fries)
I also got some pickled onions as a side. Delicious!! Those were a good snack to go along with my beer!
The tartar sauce is also yummy. I like to mix it with lemon juice, ketchup and the vinegar. Mix it all up and enjoy!
Our bill came with an extra charge but the waitress corrected that. So just check your receipt before you pay. The weekends get busy busy there.
Oh! And before you leave make sure to visit the shop next door. They have great English treats and souvenirs. The English butter biscuits are yummy. All in all delicious. I didn’t get better photos. I was too busy eating it haha
A true gem in Santa Monica! The food, drink, and hospitality are exceptional—everything is amazing! I am blown away by how delicious the sausage roll and fish and chips are! The environment is pretty special too. I am so glad we found this place—we will be back!
This pub has a British expat food shop on the same property. They have everything: black pudding, soda farls, Irn Bru, Heinz baked beans, Branston Pickle, Cornish Pasties, cordial & Marmite plus more! The staff are incredibly friendly too. The majority of the customers had authentic funny accents too 'innit! Highly recommended!
Had the beef roast, it was great. Kids were happy with chips/fries and fish.
I had a beer some one else had a pot of tea.
Will return.
