The New King Harolds Head

The New King Harolds Head is a gastropub on Bumbles Green Lane in Nazeing, serving Waltham Abbey and the surrounding Hertfordshire area. It’s the sort of place people drop into for a proper meal rather than just a drink, with outdoor seating and space that suits families as well as larger groups. The menu runs across lunch and dinner, with cocktails, coffee and desserts alongside vegetarian options and a children’s menu. Customer comments suggest it’s particularly known for its steak, with meat prepared to order, and for dishes such as monkfish in lobster sauce. It also takes bookings, which can be useful if you’re planning ahead for a meal out. The setting is wheelchair accessible, and there’s free parking on site. If you’re passing through or meeting friends for food, it offers a practical option without fuss. The New King Harolds Head has also been mentioned by walkers stopping off en route, so it appears to work just as well for an unplanned lunch as it does for a booked evening meal.
