I work with an expert in Battle pubs. I'll ask him tomorrow and get back to you if you like.
Out of those three the Kings Head is head and shoulders above the others. At least it was when I lived in Battle. The Bull is not too bad, used to have pretensions about being a wine bar but is more of a pub nowadays. Used to work in the Abbey, bit of a dive. Kings Head is a nice old, traditional pub. Beer used to be good as well.

I've had some good evenings at Ye Olde King's Head - but they coincided with the CARNAGE that is Battel Bonfire, so this may be a slightly misleading recommendation.
Yep still there, most expensive pub in Battle by a long way. Never seen what the fuss is about to be honest.

Ye Olde King's Head by a mile, lived there 28 years, everyone I know seemed to agree. Unless you're a chav that is?

I'll look after the skirt
There's also The Senlac down by the station. Haven't a clue what its like in there these days? Must be at least 30 years since I set foot in the door. By a quirk of coincidence, I drove past it today. The sign outside caught my eye advertising a live band. - "Alfie & The Alcoholics".

Alfie and the Alcoholics are friends of mine. Great laugh, shit music. A punter was went up to them and told them they were crap, to which Alfie repied, "yep, I agree but I've been employed doing it for over 35 years and I'm sill getting paid, so we can't be that bad"
Man's drinking pub with a crowd of middle-aged spinsters making up the numbers. Decent female bar staff. Live music Friday nights always good. Good cheap food as well. the down side?There's also The Senlac down by the station. Haven't a clue what its like in there these days? Must be at least 30 years since I set foot in the door.

I simply asked my work mate for the best pub in Battle, as promised, and without a moments hesitation he replied - " Kings Head ".
Just backs up what everyone else has said here.
Looks like a clear winner for you then
