History of the The Old Kings Head
We’re doing our best to find some history on the Old Kings Head, but we would really like to hear what you know about the pub, to help us piece together the pubs history.
During the building works, we found a time capsule with some interesting articles in, but sadly this only went back to 2013.
Please submit your stories or old photographs to info@theokh.co.uk.
A Greener Pub
Here at the Old Kings Head, we’re conscious of our carbon footprint, the environment and a being a little greener. For more information and an article on how we’re trying to make a difference, click here.

River Crouch
Another great place for long walks especially if you have dogs. The best time to go is when the sun is starting to set the views you see are fantastic.

Not only is it a family run business where you can get tea and cake on daily basis alongside a main menu. You can also enjoy a 50 minute riverboat ride from Paper Mill Lock to Baddow Mill pond and back to enjoy food at the café.
