Even in a city crawling with U.K. expatriates, Santa Monica’s Ye Olde King’s Head is an impressive achievement — a bar, restaurant and gift shop that duplicates exactly the experience of drinking, dining and carousing in Merrie Olde England. Founded by English couple Phil and Ruth Elwell in 1974, and patronized by English emigrants and American Anglophiles alike ever since, Ye Olde King’s head serves ... more

As the most popular British pub and grub in town, King`s Head attracts large crowds of British ex-pats, young and old, along with bunches of families in the early evenings and wall-to-wall younger crowds by late night. It`s as authentic as you get, with the typically favored fish and chips, bangers and mash, and shepherd`s pie, served in the traditional style -- with warm beer, on tables that ... more

In Short This well-appointed, laid-back pub is full of accented expats who traded London fog for California sunshine. The menu features traditional British pub and teahouse fare. The Welsh rabbit, a concoction of cheddar cheese, beer and spices, is a good base for a bellyful of British ale. Fish and chips are filets of fried Icelandic cod. The chicken salad features cream curry, raisins ... more

Crunchy, ethereal, perfectly fried batter. Standard issue cod, adequate as a base for the sublimely fried crust. Chips are much improved by sitting underneath a few pieces of vinegared fish for a while. Vinegar seems oddly mild -- diluted for the Yanks, possibly A satisfying, tasty lunch for the slog back to the car.

L.A.'s best-known pub has been around for about 30 years and is now almost a city-block long, with two pub rooms separated by a dining room stretching along Santa Monica Boulevard between the Promenade and the shore. The larger, busier pub room draws crowds of tourists and college students; it's often crowded and loud but the place is saved by the quality of its food and drink. Newcomers aren't steered ... more

Food worth the bad service?

The food is great here, especially the fish and chips or the curry, but the service is absolutely horrible. They do not really make an effort of coming to your table. After you order, the customer has to be the one to call them over. The bus boys tend to be much more polite and helpful than the waitresses, in my experience the smallest thing will offend the waitress and she'll be short with you for ... more

Haven't been to Ye Olde King's Head in a few years. Since I was in Santa Monica last weekend, I thought I'd give the othe old place a try for dinner. Rude service, very slow to be served my meal and the quality had certainly gone down the tubes, friend ordered the fish and chips, and I had a steak and kidney pie. The fish was overbattered and overcooked, chips were certainly not freshly cut and ... more
