The Kings Head is situated on the main street through the village of Sutton Bonington, approximately five miles north of Loughborough. The village itself has a population of just over 2000 residents, along with the nearby University of Nottingham campus for bioscience & veterinary medicine students, and is served by a number of small independent businesses with the Kings Head being one of only two pubs in the village. Sutton Bonington Football Club is situated nearby, along with your usual village facilities in the form of a park, childrens play area, tennis and bowling clubs. The nearby River Soar is popular with walkers, cyclists and boaters in the warmer months.
Internally the pub has a traditional yet fresh décor in keeping with the tradition of the building. It is divided into two distinct trading areas, both served from a prominent central bar. The snug bar is popular with the locals for a relaxed drink, and features a mix of fixed and loose seating and a darts oche. The lounge bar/dining area has softer furnishings and accommodates approximately 35 covers for relaxed dining. The pub has been very well maintained throughout. Externally to the front, the pub features a seating area for approximately 25-30 patrons, with a car park to the side which can comfortably accommodate 20-25 vehicles. To the rear of the pub is a good-sized enclosed beer garden. The pub recently underwent an exterior decoration giving it great kerb appeal.
The private accommodation is situated on the first floor, and is in good order. It consists of four bedrooms (the smaller fifth bedroom is currently being used as an office), lounge, kitchen and bathroom.
