A historic inn located on the market square, accommodation with en suite facilities is available. There are themed food evenings and occasional live music.

The Grade II Listed building dates from the 16th century.

Historic Interest

The 1904 Woodbridge licensing records show that the King's Head's licence was issued in 1700. A paperback book published in 1969, called "Inns of the Suffolk Coast" by Leonard P Thompson** contains the following extract: "Richard Harvie, in his will dated 20th February, 1653, left to his daughter "my house wherein I now dwell, commonly called the King's Head, which I lately purchased of Robert Jacob, the elder, & Robert Jacob, the younger". "looking at the camera website, I can tell you that my sister & her husband Neville Bradshaw & Joyce Bradshaw were landlords of the Kings Head from 1958 to 1965 (approx). i hope this info is of use to you & if I can be of help in any way please feel free to contact me." kind regards, Neville Utting.
