About The King's Head, A Heartwood Inn
The King’s Head is a Heartwood Inn gastropub situated on Teddington High Street, offering a full kitchen programme alongside a well-considered bar. Open seven days a week, it serves both food and drink from midday, with the kitchen producing carefully crafted dishes — from Sunday roasts to more ambitious plates such as duck cassoulet — as well as a thoughtful children’s menu. Whether you’re looking for a relaxed lunch, a fireside drink on a winter evening, or al fresco seating in the garden, it functions as a genuine neighbourhood gathering place for Teddington residents and visitors alike.
Local area
Teddington High Street supports a lively and genuinely mixed range of independents, and The King’s Head fits naturally into that fabric as a place where the community gathers rather than simply passes through. Teddington’s proximity to the Thames, Bushy Park, and its well-used station makes it a neighbourhood where people tend to linger — and a comfortable, well-run gastropub on the high street serves that rhythm well. Within the wider Richmond borough, which values both good food and a strong sense of place, this kind of reliable local venue is quietly essential.
Why choose The King's Head, A Heartwood Inn
The King’s Head offers something that can be harder to find than it sounds: a pub that takes its food seriously without losing the ease of a proper local.

A fireplace, a garden, and hours that run through to eleven most evenings make it adaptable to almost any occasion.
