Queen's Head in Peterborough

Asistí a una comida de Navidad en el trabajo en la Cabeza de la Reina. Fuimos a la fiesta festiva. Me quedé sintiéndome completamente estafado por la cantidad de comida proporcionada. Además de un plato principal individual que estaba disponible en el menú estándar, por el extra de £ 10 en comparación con el precio del plato principal fuera del menú estándar, todo lo que recibí fue una sola rodaja de un pequeño ajo, un par de trozos de pollo y tres bolas de patata del tamaño de mármol. Todas las demás personas en mi mesa recibieron una cantidad similar de comida. Cuando le planteé esto a la persona que servía la comida, su respuesta fue grosera diciendo que era para compartir con la mesa. Este es el segundo año que hemos tenido una mala experiencia teniendo una comida de Navidad aquí y si se reserva de nuevo el próximo año no estaré presente.

Friendly staff and can take to dogs inside

Great traditional pub with modern n quirky decor,. Customers can enjoy freshly made pizza created and cooked front of house in a huge pizza oven. The bar is stocked with an array of guest an local ales. Entertainment ranging from DJ sets and live bands and acoustic sets really do make this a great destination.

Visited for a few afternoon drinks.

The Queen's Head is a very good pub. The food and drink is also very good and reasonably priced too. The staff are really helpful always. It's also handy that you can sit outside too. This pub is well worth a visit.

Bit of a harsh review as no WiFi & went into work from it. However I can't fault the pint of Madri & the young lady behind the bar who was very apologetic about the lack of WiFi.

Nice location and front terrace was a very pleasant place to enjoy a beer, especially as it was a beautiful September day. Unfortunately, I went to order food, but the kitchen had closed...the time was approx 2.30pm. So didn't get to try the pizza

Gabby was the best bartender! Amazing food, would 100% recommend! Love coming here during my break too, super speedy service! ☺️❤️

Great value on pizza Monday evening and very delicious pizza too. Nice selection of cocktails bogof went again 9/9 choose my own toppings really tasty both of us thoroughly enjoyed our pizzas highly recommend- interesting place too especially upstairs

We only had drinks here, but the food that we could see being served looked excellent. This feels like a good old fashioned pub even though I think it's a repurposed shop or office building. Highly recommend it for a beer, or three!

Lovely pub in a traditional style with a modern twist, with a great atmosphere in the heart of Peterborough.

Great value lunch time pizza and drink £6. Celebrating a friend's birthday in a reserved area of the pub.

Lovely food, great quick service, will be back.

Emily was lovely, very attentive, food was yum.

Great pub, polite staff and great priced beer, too late for food but great service.

City centre pub with great view of St John's and the Cathedral. The beer was well kept and the service was friendly.

Really wanted to like this place when we stopped here for lunch but the food we had just wasn't up to scratch. If you see my other reviews I'm a big fan of chicken wings and will usually always order them if I'm a menu. My wife also likes them so we decided to get the sharer portion of Korean wings. I'm not sure who the chef is here but these were not in any way shape or form Korean flavoured. If I remember correctly they were advertised as having Gochujang sauce. The wings themselves were completely bland,.had been cooked in the oven clearly without any seasoning so they looked pale (and even though they weren't) uncooked which was off putting. The sauce was more like a sweet and sour sauce from a bottle. Prob Encona. Not nice at all due to the texture. For comparison I took a picture of the wings as advertised Vs what we got (see pics) it's really not difficult to make appetising wings these days especially if you have an air fryer / deep fat fryer. The rest of the food we ordered (truffle tater tots and beef tortilla) was ok but nothing great to be honest. It seems like the pizza here might be the way to go as other diners had ordered those but who knows. It's a nice venue and staff were friendly but there are issues in the kitchen here for sure. Sadly don't recommend

Llegamos un poco temprano para una reserva hecha para las 5 pm. Afortunadamente estaba tranquilo en el interior, ya que una mesa no se había reservado para nosotros de todos modos. La joven detrás de la barra estaba usando su teléfono móvil cuando nos acercamos a la barra. Después de servirnos, ella estaba de vuelta en su teléfono buscando fechas / destinos para los billetes. Un caballero pidió comida y le dijeron que la cocina no estaba abierta hasta dentro de 30 minutos. Fueron 4 : 30 pm. Varias mesas estaban cubiertas de migas y marcas húmedas pegajosas de las bebidas. De nuevo los 2 empleados estaban revisando sus teléfonos y charlando sobre su vida social. Aprecio que sea agradable tener unos minutos tranquilos pero solo estaban sirviendo a 9 , personas dentro. Ya no hay orgullo en absoluto en el establecimiento. Seguramente se podrían pasar unos minutos limpiando mesas. El suelo también estaba cubierto de migas. Un pequeño barrido de vez en cuando llenaría al cliente con un poco de fe. No es de extrañar entonces cuando un cliente señaló una rata grande, que estaba en el patio, entró en el pub y volvió al patio. Los dos empleados salieron de detrás de la barra y solo miraron donde se había visto a la rata. Sugerí cerrar la puerta del patio sería un comienzo. Nos fuimos poco después. Se supone que el establecimiento se ve mal elegante. Lamentablemente, ahora está desdibujado y sucio. Los baños necesitan una buena limpieza. Dispensador de jabón vacío. La calificación 2 / 5 se da porque la pizza era genial.

Used to love the pub. Had some females really aggressive towards our table, we asked security to come and sort it out and we had been kicked out! We were minding our business where some drunk girls had a go on our table and it was us who were asked to move. So disappointed as security chose easy way to deal with situation as we had no intentions to argue. Like i said i used to love the place but i would not come back

Awesome pub.. nice of the main streets £11 but awesome

Not many in when I went but was only early, got to say the place still had a very good atmosphere.

Muy áspero y sucio pub. Llevó a mis padres e hijos aquí la semana pasada, pero se fue inmediatamente debido a la cantidad de borrachos en una tarde de miércoles. Definitivamente no es un lugar para traer niños o mis padres ancianos para el caso! Envió un correo electrónico con comentarios y ni siquiera una respuesta o disculpa del establecimiento. Servicio impactante

Fab Friday night pizza 🍕 & vino 🍷 😃

Had a couple of drinks & liked the atmosphere

Did not have the food but nice pub, fast service

£10 for a mac and cheese which tasted like cardboard, I wouldn’t even feed it my dog. Hard and chewy pasta with tasteless cheese, followed by a flat Coca Cola.

Didn’t eat but came for drinks, was on my own but people spoke to me and were very friendly bar staff were great too, will def be back

Great pub. In the middle of a busy town centre, yet it feels like a tradional British pub. Food is great. Pizzas are great cooked in their pizza oven. Regularly has live music.

It was my first time here, and it was a pleasure. The aesthetic is brilliant with a lovely vibe. The staff are friendly and the food & cocktails were ace. I recommend a visit if you're in the area.

Entré en este bar para ver la pelea de Tyson fury y encontré una mesa justo al lado de la puerta que no estaba reservada, así que me senté allí durante aproximadamente 2 horas y media comprando bebidas todo el tiempo antes de que una joven que trabaja allí me dijera que tenía que moverme ya que la mesa estaba reservada, aunque no había nada en la mesa. Me levanté y me fui, pero estoy muy enojado por cómo me trataron. Esta chica me habló con poco respeto. Nunca volveré a este lugar, así que si ese era tu objetivo bien hecho.

Good night out, even better when live music is on

Don't have the food much. Nice pub bands on a Friday night

I've been in a couple of times to see bands on a Saturday and like the place. A decent beer selection and food( not ate there yet) and good acoustics for the bands!

Excellent customer service friendly atmosphere homely Order the Sunday roast

10/10 food and 10/10 drinks!! 10/10 service Shout out to all the amazing staff!! Lovely bunch of people- tilly xxxxxxxx

10/10 atmosphere. Live music is always so great && the staff are always soso lovely. Food and cocktails are also 10/10. X

We didn't eat here but the food looked really good

Loved the fact that they have a Big Vegan choice of food beautifully made. Thank you Queens Head. I will definitely be going again soon.

I hate to use the expression 'hidden gem,' but this place is definitely one. It's shabby chic, which is used as a compliment. Great host, atmosphere, and choice of beers for the discerning. The music during the afternoon session was a perfect match. Menu looks great. Definitely going to be a regular haunt.

Love this place, great atmosphere and amazing food

Very central so a great meeting hub. Very quick service both drinks and food. Enjoyed both.

Blissfully peaceful and such a humble establishment that gives a unique character to a part of the town centre that is simply crying out for Character, personality and dare I say, heritage. Lovely staff, great beer and selection of drinks, great food with quality ingredients and certainly a place that I will visit again and soon. NEXT VISIT: Yet again, amazing. I had brought my kids this time and as a single parent, I was somewhat anxious, to which the young lady behind the bar was just amazing 👏, eloquent and certainly something profoundly captivating as she was reading the late Autobiography by Matthew Perry, a book which was not only captivating, but I was somewhat inspired also. We enjoyed a lovely selection of drinks and then when their amazing chef arrived, THE FOOD... My god, this gentleman not only makes the most amazing food, it's also where his 'homely' signature is portrayed within it also, to which my children were simply in awe, they could not stop saying thank you and don't get me wrong, I can cook lol, but this chef is something else. The best, fulfilling, wholesome, family food that we have enjoyed, by far! Peterborough, Stamford and surrounding areas, this chef and the captivating member of bar staff, just wow. Best place in Peterborough to vist for a nice pint and amazing food, by far. 👏

I'm beginning to think there's a few people in Peterborough who want to keep things secret... I've never even really noticed this pub and from the front you wouldn't think much of it, looks small but when you go inside it opens up into a whole different world lol I was very surprised, I feel like it's a kept secret lol Peterborough shouldn't have nice pubs like that... 😉

Booked a table for 12.15pm (they open at 12pm). They could see us waiting outside for ten mins and didn't explain why not opened. Had to go elsewhere as to cold to wait any longer.

Booked ahead for my son's birthday, so that he could share a meal with friends. Confirmed the booking the day before, travelled to the location 5 minutes before we were due and the whole place was closed. Looked in the window and could see the chef looking back at me from the kitchen, didn't bother to come out and speak to me, or give me any details about why the whole place was fully closed. No call after from anyone to explain why and my son was absolutely gutted. Really disappointed as it a totally wasted trip into town which cost me my car parking, and for no reason as completely shut!!

Decent booze. Authentic Italian pizza

This was our first visit and I wanted to give 5 stars but it took nearly an hour for food to arrive. The food was excellent and the atmosphere really friendly and we will come back.

Nice beers and atmosphere was eating elsewhere

First time visit. Interesting decore and would revist when in the area.

Took a while to arrive but it was busy so that's fine. Good atmosphere and the pizza was definitely worth the wait!

Good atmosphere and nice real ale

The food is lovely, but the music wasn't my kind of music x

It was very rowdy in there on Friday night. I didn't feel relax

A bad experience. Was in there having drinks with friends and went to close an internal door to stop a draught. The two doormen decided that I couldn’t close it and when I asked why, they manhandled me out the pub. I obviously objected and informed them they are not allowed to do this and tried to capture their faces on my phone. They tried to grab my phone from me and when I reacted in trying to stop them, I was thrown to the ground and punched. My lip was badly cut and there was blood everywhere. The landlord or barman told me to leave but as I was mot in the pub I didn’t need to move anyway. I called the police to report both individuals but as yet, no idea as to what is happening They will tell a different story but please be aware that the door staff take no prisoners. A friendly warning to anyone wishing to use this pub in the evening

Good location, cool choice of music. Didn't eat so can't review the food but the menu looked great.

Probably the best pub in Peterborough. Great staff, great atmosphere and a good choice of drinks and food.

We really liked it here. Good selection of beer and lager. Good background music. Didn't try the food so can't comment on that.

Cheap but not the best food. Nice atmosphere and nice place for a casual lunch with children.

O locație cu bun gust, servire bună. Pizza foarte gustoasa.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and good coffee. Great Pizza as well 🙂

Great venue with amazing team, pizza are the best in town centre by far music is spot on and atmosphere buzzing

Great pizza! Fantastic dough! Was there to watch the rugby but sadly no commentary available so moved onto somewhere else at half time.

Helpful staff and brilliant service. And brilliant disable Access.

A very quirky and fun pub. Lots of thought put into the decore. We went for food. Most of my group had pizza which went down really well. I had a couple of salad sides and chicken wings. The salad sides were a great surprise, well balanced flavours, and good sizes for sides. The chicken wings were OK, the meat tasted a bit like it had been frozen for too long. Staff were friendly. The chief was extremely careful with gluten free food and even took the time to check I wasn't eating what wide ordered, which was not gluten free.

Great place for away fans good ale and food

This was my go-to pub for food during my 9-day visit to Peterborough. Especially the 3 small dishes for UKP 15 turned out to be excellent value. I had them three times, exhausting around half of the options available. My favourite was the burrata with white beans salad, which I ordered on all three occasions. Lovely. The other two I changed with each order: small tacos with pulled pork and mushrooms, respectively, and all three available versions of tater tots (with pulled meat, Buffalo sauce and chicken - my favourite - and mozzarella and hard cheese). Always well-prepared, always delivered in good time. The best value food on offer if you're really hungry. The pub itself is a rustic traditional establishment, with nice seating inside and out. 4 cask ales available (most times), of which I often chose Adnams Ghost Ship. More beers and lagers are available on keg. Service was friendly and efficient. It's a popular pub with locals, but I always found a seat in the outside area, which looks out to the Guildhall and Cathedral Square. Really good option for superior pub food in Peterborough.

Only went for drinks so can't comment on the food but it was a nice vibe and good outdoor seating so you could hear each other even on a Saturday night! Also, certain drinks seem surprisingly cheap which is a bonus! Pretty fast to get served, busy inside, but calm enough at the tables outside. Not bad!

lovely! pizza deal is great. dog-friendly too!

Delicious Pizza! Cooked in a real oven which gives it that stone baked taste. Went for the incredible value lunch time deal at £8 for a pizza and a pint!

I mentioned to the bar prince 1, 7, 14, 3 man that I had multiple allergies to medication and drugs along with issues with pizza ingredients before ordering my lasagne. As an ex reporter for the travel trade magazine mystery shopper award, I was left very disappointed with the food. The wine and water were ok, very pallitable and good quality but the pizza chef put a mystery ingredient into the lasagne which caused severe arthritis pain and high heart rate and dizziness along with lack of coordination and cognitive impairment. The taste of the slow cooked beef reminded me of homemade pie and seemed good when eating but within 15 minutes felt unwell. I didn't expect this from such a royal name establishment. I very much doubt I will be returning to this place in the future, along with Naples hotels. Chefs need to be more aware of issues with multiple medication syndrome. Having had to take time off work for the same issues, and suffered since 1971 as an 18 month old, along with PTSD from issues as a toddler, staff need more training on the possible adverse reactions to staff having drugs on their hands and fingers and lack of hand washing. I felt the music was slightly hostile and not very welcoming and suggesting people should get high, even if customers know they are allergic to several drugs and medication. Its a shame. I feel this could be a good pub if it was more ethical.

Lovely atmosphere, gabby went the extra mile to make us feel extra special and had a really nice evening, the pizzas are good and loved the music, Mollie was also very attentive and made us feel welcome, will be sure to come back again soon!

Amazing little gem! Have some fantastic lunch offers on and 2-4-1 pizzas every Monday too! Live music is brilliant on a Friday and the DJ is great for a little Saturday night boogie! Staff are always lovely and welcoming!

Lovely little pub in the middle of city centre, come here all the time with family. Really good offer on the food for Mondays, 2-4-1 pizzas!! They always go down a treat. Staff are always happy and welcoming.

this spot is great for all days of the week!! had an amazing time with great live music, amazing food and wonderful staff.

Disappointing selection of real ale - NONE. Not for the first time. Really should & could do better!

There was NO real ale available on a Friday night. For a pub owned and run by a brewery this is shocking. To say “we’ve run out” is a lazy excuse. DO BETTER!

One of the best pizzas I've had

NO JACK DANIELDS, NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE, come on, sort it out, our last time there, shame !!

Nice pub and great food. Stopped here for lunch as I was in town at the nearby passport office. Food, staff and atmosphere were all great. Ignore all those chain restaurants and come here for a great lunch!

Bloody great food. Simple menu but oh boy the food speaks for itself. Service was prompt and the server was brilliant. I will definitely come back.

Good place for a bite to eat and drinks, always lively atmosphere! Right in the centre. Outside seating area at the front and back. Prices are okay but little more than other pubs. Definitely recommend 👌🏻

Very quaint place with a good atmosphere

Good quality food with great customer service

Great town pub has good food and good selection of drinks. Has a great pizza oven and pizzas are made to order.

Great pints and pizza. Top staff.

Rude staff. Poor selection of beer. Awfull music Only British people are welcome

Lovely place shame outside wad closed. Good service didn't eat but food looked lovely 😋

Lived in Peterborough most of my life and never been here before unit Thursday evening. Wow, what a place. The live music was brilliant, lots of happy people singing. Really enjoyed my evening

Exceptional staff and such an amazing environment for a night out !

Bar boy is arrogant. he has no age, wisdom or qualification to be there. every weekend you can see a fight. poor beer selection. If you not english ,u not welcome! unless you know someone. Place its ok atmosphere its awfull. proper english pub

Amazing staff, great service! Such a cool little pub to visit! Live music is fab on a Friday too!

amazing staff, food was great! lovely area out the front for a sunny day!!

Both our pint glasses were dirty. There was no soap in the despensers in the gents. Downstairs t smelled bad. The girl behind the bar was playing on her phone at lunchtime on a day in the school holidays. She could have been cleaning pint glasses, filling soap dispensers or doing any number of other tasks. But the place was almost empty when there was loads of footfall outside and inside the building is wonderful-this pub could be a goldmine. We were too grossed out to order pizza and went elsewhere.

Had an absolutely fantastic meal tonight. New menu is most definitely worth a try. Highly recommended.

Absolutely gorgeous place and staff to boot. The staff are really friendly and knowledgeable. They know their stuff. The pizzas are to die for. The toilets are clean. Popped in when there was live music and a pleasant even guaranteed.

I was shopping in the Town Centre, saw this Pub & popped in for a pint.

Nice town center pub,,worth a visit

Best place to go in town! Incredible pizzas and the staff are great

The beer is well kept and a great selection of food , friendly and helpful staff well worth a visit.
