The Kings Head
The community pub located on Broadway in Thatcham is steeped in history, as evidenced by the blue plaque displayed outside. This plaque pays tribute to the pub's historical significance as a coaching inn, where Britain's first mail coach switched horses back in 1784. The pub is a hub for sports enthusiasts, equipped with multiple television screens broadcasting Sky Sports and BT Sport. In addition to being a great spot for sports viewing, the pub also offers a variety of games for patrons to enjoy, including darts, pool, crib, and chess. For those who prefer outdoor relaxation, the pub boasts a spacious beer garden and an outside bar, perfect for enjoying a pint in the open air. As of Autumn 2022, the pub is under new management, following a previous management tenure that began in the Summer of 2020. The new team is committed to maintaining the pub's traditional charm while providing excellent service and a welcoming atmosphere for all.
