"Best pub in Ilkeston and the only one I will go in. Abi is the best manager and genuinely cares for her customers which is a lot more that can be said for any other pub in town! I enjoy coming in the KH to watch football and talk to some people I've made friends with in there or know through other means. I'm not normally a pub person but I definitely can say the KH is one I have warmed up to. Thank you to Abi and her team😊"
