Found in the Pigot's directory of 1840, alongside the "Kings Head," Deal and also "Kings Arms," Deal, so definitely another pub not to be confused with those others. Earliest known reference as the "King's Head" is documented in 1804 but the first licensee mentioned in 1797.

The pub was sold along with another 11 public houses in neighbouring villages in 1826 for the sum of £425. It is not yet known who sold the pub or who purchased it.

In 1837 the name changed to the "Queen's Head," while under the rule of Mary Ann Dawes, probably to commemorate Queen Victoria's ascension to the thrown on 20 June that same year.
