5 or 6 average cask ales. Nice to sit outside on the market place.

Think this pub could do better when its history and position are considered. Still, enjoyed our two games of pool for £0.50!

Day trip to Kings Lynn on Thursday 6 Sept 2012 and after a walk round we thought lets pop into here.As we crossed the car park we notice a middle aged scruffy man sat down in the doorway of the pub smoking a ciggie,not an appealing sight (should of turned away there really) Got in and had to wait ages for the barmaid to appear and when she did after 4 minutes (bad sign) she was eating some sandwiches that she had just made herself and made no attempt to wash her hands before serving me (another bad sign) I ordered a pint of Crag Rat and a G & slimline with lime. "Got no lime" was the sturdy reply so I asked for lemon "Got no lemon" ahh,I thought that it's absolutely shocking that a pub doesnt have either.Then I just knew this was about to happen,the barmaid then opened up the tonic and poured it straight into the glass,that's when I had a small bit of pleasure to inform her with "Thats not slimline,I did tell you slimline" so she had to pour another gin and get it right.We sat down and observed a young man about early twenties with his top off inside the pub with his girlfriend and baby....I also checked out the toilets,filthy as I expected.This just summed it all up.Crap pub,dire service,filthy toilets,a feral lad with his top off inside a pub WTF?....This pub is in a prime location with plenty of history.But with the people like this in it,the place will go to the wall and deservedly so.

I could not finish my beer because of the flies that kept flying into it.

We have come to Kings Lynn for a weeks break. Unfortunately we have not found any pubs that we have liked and this one is no exception. King Lynn is so run down I do not think it could support a good pub.

Going down the pan faster than any other local.
Great place in times gone by, now dead during the day and full of luney tunes at night.
No real ale on but pumps still there

What a great place to be on a Saturday night I have seen some spectacular live bands here in a great atmosphere

Not bad food during the day and a half decent pint of adnams.
Nice looking pub from the outside, the interior lets it down and the natives are not the most friendly I've met.

A very nice pint of adnams 2 be had here, and friendlier service than the crown & mitre. 8/10

I happen to know a lot of history of all old pubs in Lynn which has seen the ghost . And I have picked the Ye Olde Maydens Heade because of it's hauntiness on which I have read in one of Vera Witts books . What I like to know is what are the deeds of that place

A fantastic pub, filled nightly with friendly (although slightly mentally impaired) rockers of a variety of ages. On Friday & Saturday nights there's usually a band playing, and a few good-humoured yet pissed-up local folk attempting to dance. They sure don't make 'em like this no more, I wish this was my local.
