The Kings Head

Chester Food & Drink Festival 2006 Winner

The Kings Head is a traditional pub on the west side of Lower Bridge Street. The pub is a few minutes walk down hill from the Cross. The name of the pub refers to when King Charles stayed at the nearby Gamul House during the English Civil War.

This was once the house of Randle Holme 1, Mayor of Chester 1633 - 4.
It was described as a 'new building' in 1633. Four generations of the Holme family worked as Chester Heralds and historians during the 17th Century.
Their painted heraldic memorial tablets are a feature of many Cheshire Churches.
