Queens Head in Harrogate

£15 lunch special for 2 courses really good value for money. The squid, garlic mushrooms and dirty burgers were all delicious. Nice ambience too.

Brilliant venue, a proper British pub, serving excellent food, the cook a lovely lady was spot on, leaving her dad to run the bar serving excellent beer. We stayed at the nearby cottage and enjoyed a few visits to the pub which was always welcoming.

This is an amazing pub. We were staying on local campsite and booked into here for Sunday Lunch, big group of 18 children and adults. Staff very friendly and making sure all food requirements were met. This is our second year coming to the pub and I can honestly say Rocky and the staff are lovely. After lunch we played pool and have a sing along with the junk box. We will be back next year. Thank you very much again.

The Queens Head manage a terrific balancing act in running a traditional country pub that is also great for families. Our grandchildren had a terrific time. Food wise, we were a very large extended family group and we were all very well looked after. There is a great range of food options for kids on offer and they even did a couple of ‘off menu’ items for our fussy eaters. The adult meals were standard pub fare but very well cooked, using good quality ingredients in generous portions. We will certainly return next time we’re in the area.

Food ok, but not a good place for families if you are not a local. Bar man picked on visiting children rather than local children.

Called into the pub while stopping at a local campsite. A real hidden gem, An extremely warm welcome and the drinks were spot on. we decided to eat there as well, and I'm so glad we did as the food was incredible with large portions and excellent quality . We all ordered a different meal, but all four were top notch and couldn't be faulted.

Lovely hospitable place. Lovely food, good portions and a nice pint of Theakstons too. Made to feel welcome by the landlord and all the staff and the locals too. Nice place.

Really friendly pub Had a warm welcome from the landlord and his whole family absolutely lovely people And also a warm welcome from the locals And the food was fantastic Definitely will return and definitely worth a visit

We recently stopped in a nice little village in North Yorkshire called Grewelthorpe. The pub in the village is currently closed. So I used google to find a local dog friendly pub and the Queen's Head in Kirkby Malzeard came up as a choice. So I booked a table for an early Saturday evening meal. The pub is a nice village pub, good parking, a good selection of beers and a decent food menu. After advise from the landlord we chose the fish and chips, it was a very good choice. The next time that we are back in North Yorkshire if possible I would use this pub again.

Staying at a local holiday park with outdoor cooking facilities in the pouring rain, so needed a dry, welcoming location for my husband’s 60th birthday dinner. The Queen’s Head was my saviour - a little rural pub with a large car park tucked behind and a blazing fire . Arrived late on Friday just as the food menu should have finished to a warm and friendly welcome from the landlord and regulars. The landlady kindly agreed to keep cooking and whipped up a wonderful meal in record time. Scampi and Butterfly chicken melt were delicious and the chips the best we’ve had in many years. Accompanying salad both pretty and original with strawberries and blueberries to garnish. Very generously sized portions for a fair price. Our thanks also to the friendly regulars who were happy to share their experiences of walking in this area with us. A really enjoyable evening in a proper cosy pub. Many thanks to one and all!

Tonight we had the pleasure of visiting the Queens Head with our 22month old whilst staying nearby. Staff were wonderful and the locals were friendly too. Food was superb, fresh and locally sourced. They even made our little girl scrambled eggs which wasn’t on the menu. We had a game of pool and picked songs on the jukes box whilst our food was been prepared. We will definitely be back. Don’t let looks fool you, as yes the pub needs a bit of tlc (currently having renovations) but it is clean and so welcoming. Our girl took a shine to the landlord. Thank you so much for your hospitality - wish you guys were our local!

Called in for drinks and a meal while staying at local campsite at the end of February. The Timothy Taylor beer was first class. Ordered Gammon which came with lovely chips, egg, pineapple & salad. The gammon was perhaps the best I've ever had, nice and chunky.

A fabulous warm and friendly welcome was received by our large group of kids and parents, whilst camping in the area over the BH weekend. Our hosts did all they could to make our afternoon in the pub a memorable one, and the Sunday Roast was something to write home about as well, clean plates all around. Top marks to the landlord, landlady, bar staff and their young waitress starting her first ever shift. I only wish we lived nearer.

Wondered in footsore and starving. Fire, dog friendly, muddy boot friendly and took pity on us. They were fully booked, but found us a little table and what a Sunday lunch!! Phenomenal vegetable selection, 9 different veg excluding roasties and new poatoes, all cooked to perfection, delicious gravy and a choice of Beef, Pork or chicken. We had beef and Pork, juicy and succulent, crispy crackling, and we will definitely be back!!

We are visiting the area for a family camping holiday. Great little local and very friendly staff. Delicious food. Sports shown and pool table. Beer garden out the back too. Dog friendly. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the local area.

Fabulous meal here, had a couple of pizzas and a parmo. Both homemade from scratch and couldn’t fault either. Generous portions and truly delicious. Very welcoming. Highly recommended

Called for drinks only and were not disapponted. The staff are friendly and the Timothy Taylor's spot on. Good beer garden too.

We were staying just up the road and went down for dinner. The food was lovely and very well thought out. We asked of we coukd watch rugby and the landlord was very accommodating. Very friendly, very clean, good food and beer and good company....

The cask ale selection was excellent, staff very friendly and welcoming. The food was all made fresh, kids penne pasta was lush. The steak pie was loaded with steak, the chicken curry was a huge portion, fresh naan and poppadoms were a great touch. My...

My husband and I called in fo a drink whilst kids were at Lightwater Valley. Ended up having Sunday lunch and it was unbelievable. Eight different types of veg all cooked to perfection with roasties, new potatoes, three different meats if you wanted them and...

The Queen’s Head is a classic local village pub, serving big portions of home cooked food, and well kept beer, (best pint of Theakston’s I’ve had in a while!) We visited on a Bank Holiday Sunday, so I phoned to book first and checked that...

Awesome little pub with fantastic staff :) We camped near by and walked here to have a few drinks and some food. The food was EXCELLENT, the beer and spirit choice was great and the staff were fantastic!! Honestly, it made for a great night...

No social distancing in place. Rude horrible staff. Looks dirty and staff don’t seem to do much, hope you don’t expect a drink quickly as they can’t be bothered to get off their chairs to serve you without huffing and puffing.. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Good food nice staff and friendly locals made this a welcoming visit to the village. The chicken Parmo was huge. Highly recommended

Not the most attractive pub and not somewhere we’d normally go for food but was in the village where we were staying. We called in for tea and didn’t have high expectations but were very pleasantly surprised when the food arrived. Home cooked, well presented...

This pub is a family run pub, very friendly family, who work very hard. There is a lovely little beer garden with benches, painted walls & lots of really pretty flower pots🌺🌻🌹 to make it a nice area to sit out in. The food is...

lovely takeaway Sunday lunches during lock down and they are still available for now we are still being cautious and ordering takeaways lovely home cooked lunch generous portions and delicious local meats friendly welcome

Dropped in for lunch on a wintery Feb afternoon. Open fire, great hospitality, excellent pie! Can't ask for more.

I’m embarrassed to write that I had a low expectation of my meal however it was delicious. Home cooked ham, soft bread, delicious salad including strawberries and hand cut chips all appetisingly presented.

Camping at Ivy bank, only people in a wet field, at this time of year needed local pub to walk to. The Queens Head ticks all boxes, local pub not some franchise, fabulous freshly cooked food including an apple crumble from scratch when we said...

Very welcoming Been here a several times always Feel welcome. always good honest food Sandwiches are lovely lunch . Sunday carvery is great value and well cooked meat and veg all fresh . Nothing too pretentious. Just honest food .

This is a great family run pub very helpful and accommodating.We have been staying at the Ivy Bank camp site every month and we have made the Queens our local.If you are looking for good pub food this is the place for you.We will be back in August!

Really nice pub, that accommodates families. The food was lovely home cooked food and a good selection of beers. We will definitely be returning.

Really impressed with our meal at the Queens Head this weekend - camping nearby, we had booked in advance and pre ordered as we were a party of 15, we were told that as we had ordered several pizzas (teenagers!) and they could only cook two pizzas at a time, the food wouldn’t all come together, that was fine by us as we knew in advance! And it was worth waiting for - all home made and cooked to order, absolutely delicious, I would say the food was exceptional. Also the service - the staff were very friendly, smiley and welcoming - the hottest weekend of the year and it can’t have been much fun for the cook slaving over a hot stove! The pub has retained that traditional ‘local pub’ vibe but has a clean and beautifully decorated restaurant area, - it’s a family run pub and they owners obviously enjoy their work and were extremely accommodating. We will definitely be back, the village is so pretty and I can imagine the pub would be a cosy place for a pint in the winter too. If I had one criticism I would say that the descriptions of the food on the menu and specials board didn’t convey how delicious it would be - the black pudding starter and the Cajun melt in particular were favourites x

We were camping just up the lane from the Queen's Head. Very friendly owners Jocky and Sue. Provided info on local places. We adopted the pub for our early evening drink and a game of backgammon (our own set). We didn't eat there as we were camping but the food looked lovely and a good choice too. One of the only places open in the area on a Monday & Tuesday

Called in whilst camping at nearby woodhouse farm whilst getting supplies at the village shop. I had a lovely half a moretti. Very friendly pub landlord and locals alike with a pool table dart board big tv's what more can you ask. With definately return next time we are up.

Lovely pub with a friendly family running the show. Beer was really good and served great pub food. The home made pizza was fantastic and even though I had a baked potato - I think it was the nicest one I've ever had! Beautifully served - thank you so much!

Lovely meal, great atmosphere. Food was fantastic. Highly recommended. Pizza was made to order with special requests met with a smile and recommendation, steak pie was the best in a long time with proper beef gravy. Coors on tap and Timothy Taylor bolt maker. Spot on meal.

Called in this place whilst walking in the area. I'd describe it as a proper village pub not a stereotypical one. Clientele were working lads from a local employer on a Christmas drink event. The Landlord took the time to engage in conversation, listened as well as talked and advised us which other pubs in the area might be open. We were also entertained by his very young, delightful granddaughter. This is not what I would describe as a quaint village pub but if you don't get a warm welcome I'll be astounded

Visiting for Xmas we booked lunch for the four of us.

We called in for Sunday Lunch recently and we were very pleasantly surprised with both the quality of the food and the service.

Absolutely delicious Sunday lunch. And a warm friendly welcome. Good value. It was delicious and we will be back

Was a bit dubious about visiting after looking at the reviews a group of us were stopping at the campsite just up the road and after a quick walk around the village we stopped off for some drinks we were greeted by a very friendly and welcoming landlady,drinks selection was varied and extensive with a good selection of ciders.

We visited the Queens Head as we were staying in the village on holiday. The food and service were very good. Steak pie and lamb shank both delicious, lots of crunchy veg and extra gravy on the side. Well worth a visit for basic pub food.

To be honest, we ended up in Kirby Malzeard by accident but since we were hungry decided to give the local pub a chance. We were glad we did! Warmly welcomed by the barman when asked if we could bring in a dog.

We are very lucky in Yorkshire to have so many 5* pubs and restaurants, so when you find a bad one it's hard to find any positives.
