The Kings Head is a welcoming 15th-century country pub in the historic village of Bildeston. Originally a wool warehouse in the 1400s, it was converted to a hostelry in the 16th century with landlord records dating back to 1766. This cosy local inn features a high timber framed ceiling, an inglenook fireplace with a bar serving local cask ales as well as a selection of hand-picked artisan wines to drink in or take away (from the micro wine shop). In October 2026, it reinstated the pub's brewery serving 'The Wild Man of Orford' and 'The Easter Eve Mermaid' a beer produced in collaboration with Little Earth Brewery.

Every Friday and Saturday a 2 course set dinner is available, using seasonal, local and responsibly-sourced produce.

It has a long established reputation for live music. Every Wednesday is busking night and there is live music most weekends.

Cyclists are welcome; please take your bike round the back of the pub.

The pub has a toilet for disabled customers.

Built in the 14th century as a wool warehouse, the building was converted into a pub in the 16th century.
