Set in an old building the single roomed interior seems devoid of any notable character having been victim to previous stripping of any internal features it may once have had, there was though some good banter going on between the two barmen (bikers ) and punters.Beers noted were Tanglefoot, Fursty Ferret and Old Harrys Pale Ale.I'll not be rushing back.

One of Poole's oldest pubs, The King's Head dates from around 1678 and is currently owned by Hall and Woodhouse. It is a small, scruffy backstreet pub, a single bar containing a pool table and sparsely furnished. There is a strange echo about the place which makes quiet conversation awkward and means there is no pleasant atmosphere. The welcome is genuine, though, and the landlady is happy to make a coffee for you if you ask. There is a large pub dog, a loud, white German shepherd, who insists on guarding the bar from undesirables but is quite friendly to most humans. Two ales on, both H&W and both in fair condition. It's a good local but not somewhere that really feels cosy or convivial.
