Queens Head Blyford in Waveney

Came upon en route back to where we were staying. Adams pubs are always 👍 As non-locals we felt a little unwelcome. No greeting/smiley face when we sat at the bar. We asked if there was a table for 2, and they did clear a 4 and split it for us 😁 Food was good. My friend had the Pork and said was best she had. I had falafel and was stuffed. However, wasn't asked if I wanted any sauces with my chips. Chips were also a little cold and not crispy. Atmosphere OK. Didn't feel staff going above and beyond or friendly. It's a good pub if you're looking for some decent Adnams and grub. Just needs a little more customer care.

Lovely pub, outstanding food, definitely stopping for lunch on our way home at the end of the week, staff very friendly

Great little find while we were away for a few days. Good beer - amazing food. If you’re struggling to choose what to have get the steak you won’t regret it!

Lovely little place. Not been before, food was delicious and lovely atmosphere and dog friendly, will definitely return soon!

Not the best atmosphere. Very limited selection of beers on tap. Food is quite expensive but ok.

Lovely food and decor plus it's dog friendly.

Popped in for food with my brother, home made chips , nice fish and clean pipes for beer on tap , dog friendly and large car park Family friendly Well done all

Six of us had an excellent Sunday lunch. Roast was fab and puddings delicious. Our new favourite pub for a roast.

Very welcoming. Food was different from normal pub grub. Delicious food with lovely presentation Dogs welcomed

Terrific food, lovely atmosphere, good service. Would absolutely come again. The Sunday roast was incredible.

Service very good, and nice local beer to choose from. Did not eat but for looks good. Oldie world pub thankfully not tampered with much. Outside seating. Friendly and welcoming 😊 Large car park. Missed it as on a corner had to turn round. So maybe a sign further down the road. Well worth a vist.

Wonderful meal at short notice for our large family. Everyone was more than happy with there food. Reall lovely atmosphere and great staff 🙂

Terrific menu and a pleasant change from the standard Adnams pub offerings in the area. For example some nice Middle Eastern style starter options all homemade including the breads and I had the Korean style chicken and rice bowl and it was delicious and included pickles and sriracha sauce both homemade. Some comments about portion size in other reviews but there is a choice of big or small portions on a lot of the dishes so it's up to you. Also worth mentioning that the prices are less than most the pubs in Southwold and in my experience at least, represent considerably better value for money given the quality of the food.

I had ham and eggs which were fantastic. Others had roast beef which was disappointing. The beef was good but the vegetables appeared to have been cooked possibly using a sauce from a Chinese recipe. English Sunday roast mixed with a Chinese dinner do not go well together. Do not bother with the deserts as they were sub standard. I cannot recall what it's called but mine consisted of 2 shots of espresso coffee and a tiny piece of vanilla ice cream dumped on top. It was placed in a small cup and barely reached halfway up the cup. The coffee was stone cold which, I now understand, should have been hot! ( Must have been standing for quite a while before being served, or was never heated.) Shame really as the pub is very nice and the two staff were friendly and helpful. However, I couldn't bring myself to complain as they did their jobs well.

Spectacular visit to this gorgeous pub. Every meal was brilliant, kids and adults alike all loved their food. Very chilled ambience, staff are lovely, we had a brilliant time.

Stoped off on a Sunday drive in our camper what a find,we had roast dinner and I must say the best I’ve had in a long time, thank you,you didn’t disappoint

Superb find on our drive. Spotlessly clean, comfy, friendly pub with lovely staff. Absolutely delicious home made food (not just your average pub grub served here!). Will definitely return when in the area

Really really lovely little pub. The menu was current and everything was super fresh. Service was friendly and approachable with a great family run vibe! Get the burger!! Thank you all.

Avoid this pub like the plague, dreadful service, rubbish food also tried to over charge for drinks. Don’t go here. Worst pub we’ve ever been to. Looks great from outside but it ends there.

Really lovely pub with a homely feel, great food, friendly service and the sweetest pub dog! Would highly recommend!

I can't find a good word to say, everything was terrible. Food, atmosphere,service.even cold inside. So disappointed used to be a good pub with quality food Now rubbish food cooked poorly and overpriced for size of portions and quality. I don't know how it could be so bad.

Food lovely and a decent pint of Adnams...why the truculent bar staff?? A very grumpy young woman - " I suppose so" when I asked if she could get us a drink! 🙂 Otherwise, this pub is lovely and highly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic food, the Korean chicken thighs were a highlight. Really friendly welcome and plenty of games for entertainment! Would highly highly recommend!

Beautifully quaint English pub. Excellent food quality, the fish was battered to perfection!

Always a pleasure, The menu changes sometimes, but the food is always tasty (and veggies cooked to perfection) and there are always some traditional dishes.

Amazing vegetarian food! Always a good sign when you have to wait a bit for your food to arrive. It was freshly made and very tasty. Highly recommended

Just had the most beautiful and probably the best Christmas Roast we've ever had. My hubby and i popped in today (Thursday) and although a quiet weekday, the owners were most hospitable. When this pub is in full flow the atmosphere must be even more lovely. Cosy pub with an open fire. Loved it and will be returning on our next day out. Thank you 😊

Got into town at about 7.45pm on a Wednesday night, its cold and raining, there aint no punter in the venue. I say to the barman, bro you guys still cooking, he goes out the back and checks, the the Chef says yes. The next 45 mins were literally exceptional. 4yo daughters pumped with her Cheese Pizza, I grab the house burger, which was exceptional. Home made chips wow. The best choice in the area, and a great quality pub feed that would hold its own anywhere in the world. Go here 100%.

Great food and service. Dog friendly. Had the roast turkey which was very tasty. Great that small portions are also available.

Beautifully presented, really tasty food. We went on a Sunday to find it was all booked up but the really friendly staff squeezed us in and we were so pleased they did. Lovely open fire and cosy welcoming atmosphere too. We both had the Beef roast dinner which looked and tasted amazing..! So much so that we can't wait to go back again. The attention to detail and unusual twist of crispy kale & parsnips and beautifully cooked beef with tasty veg and crispy toasties & puds was devine. One of the best roast dinners we've ever eaten. I only wish the pub was near us but unfortunately over 2hrs away. I highly recommend this lovely pub for its creatively presented, quality homecooked food and when visiting the area it will be top of our list to eat. Suggest you may need to book a table as it gets very busy. Well done team we love it!

Food was very poor, to be generous, with my friends fish being soggy and greasy, chips grey and soggy, with one being green, which I'm pretty sure means it should never have left the kitchen. Chairs uncomfortable and could not pull table closer to us as legs unstable. All in all we will never go again.

The pub looks very big from outside,but not inside.furniture old fashioned, food a bit pricey, food ok, dog friendly

Great meal. Would recommend the Chicken Bowl and Homemade Pizza. We will be back again.

The pub itself felt run down and dirty in need of some TLC! Food was not to bad,

Having passed this pub every time we come back from Southwold and promising to check it out, we finally did today. We didn't regret it either. Lovely old pub, friendly welcome and a massive bowl of chips. We will definitely be going back there again and will visit with friends in the near future. Thank you 😊 Claire and Tim

Friendly service and good food. Ordered a pizza for our 4 year old and although lovely, she found it too big and spicy.

Really impressive lunch for 4 of us other Sunday .

Didn't try the food but wouldn't go back as service was so poor - not even a slice of lemon in the gin, no smile, grimly put crisps in front of husband when he asked for flavours.

Absolutely the best pub meal we've ever had - and we've had a lot! Homemade flat bread, fantastic veggie food, great flavours, fantastic service (the kitchen stayed open later so we could eat!). Just an all round brilliant place.

Nice staff and lovely setting too

Don't write reviews very often. It takes something a little bit special to get me to bother myself. This place deserves it. I write this review as I sit outside the pub finishing my cider. Came out this way for a weekend break. Walked to the local pub, the Star. Got there to find it shut at 3. So we drove to the next nearest one on the Satnav. Got met with a friendly hello from the guys in the garden at the front. Went inside to find country pub personification. Low beams, odd chairs, horses brass on the wall. Rang the big shipping bell for service. The guy who greeted us outside turned out to be the chef who came in and served us. We asked if they had finished with food and technically they had, but he kindly offered to go back into the kitchen and knock us up some grub. I ordered the freshly caught haddock and chips. Other half had a veggie burger and chips. Can honestly say it was the best battered fish I've ever eaten. Fresh, flavoursome and the batter was superb. It came with freshly made skin on chips, that were again fantastic. All finished off with mushy peas, a homemade coleslaw and a delightful tangy red pepper sauce/jus. My partner said that her burger was delicious, and all the additional accoutrements within went so well together. All in all, from the warm welcome, to the benevolent service, though to the gorgeous food, I felt compelled to write a glowing review. If everyone gets the same experience we got, then I'm telling you now, this place is worth travelling extra miles for. Thanks guys and girls. Well done.

Lovely place we randomly found on the way home to Essex. Amazing food, modern English with a Korean note or two. Super friendly staff that love dogs too. Will make a beeline back one day! Thanks folks.

Great pub, nice atmosphere only let down with no Otter on draft and odd chips

Beautiful quaint, ancient pub. Sadly lost in modern refurbishment. Lovely staff. Interesting menu and lots of outside space

A good pint, shared it with wasps lol. The inside IS IN NEED, of a good clean, a lick.of paint and The Carpet was disgusting. Wiped my feet on the way out. Wouldn't return.

Nice place and as we were burying a relative's ashes in the Churchyard opposite very conventional

This is a really lovely pub with a great selection of Adnams Beers, dog friendly and a delicious food menu. We had the two vegetarian options and they both looked and tasted amazing. Well worth making the effort to visit.

Beers was flat, service was very strained and for the price it was poor. Burger did not come with fries

Dog friendly. Fabulous food, I had the Beer Braised Chicken and hubby had the Big Sticky Burger with a side of chips. (Photo shows burger with the top off.) Would well recommend.

Poor all round. Kept coming back and saying they’d run out of the things we ordered, despite having accepted the order at the time. Seemed to think this was normal and OK. Unhelpful when we asked to move tables. The quality of the food was good, when it eventually arrived, over an hour after we ordered. Not recommended.

Had a decent meal here with friends and the dog. Beautiful old thatched building with massive beer garden front and rear with good parking. Not a large range of drinks and tables and chairs a bit rickety. Mind the very low beams! Food was good and decent sized portions. Fish portion wasn't large but came with plenty of chips and accoutrements. Staff relaxed and very dog friendly. Enjoyed meal and would visit again

Lovely pub, really friendly staff. Didn't eat but food served to follow customers looked and smelt amazing

Was very much looking forward to our menu choices, which we (party of four) had looked up on website before making our booking, only to find none of our choices were currently available! 🙁 It transpires the menu shown on the web is from 2022 ! And, in fairness, the web site does say "sample menu", but these days, given how many of us look up this info in advance, it would be most helpful if kept more up to date. Will still visit in future for another go in the future, but will check in advance what is on menu.

Great food, great service and grwT atmosphere, would highly recommend this pub.

Stopped off for a drink on a blazaring summer's day. Nice place situated in the countryside. Would well recommend.

Charming country pub. Friendly staff. Really enjoyed our lunch.

Lovely pub with excellent quality food.

Went here on the chance of getting a table. Luckily it was quiet. Very happy with what we got. This is a rustic pub inside and it is what it is. The food was superb and more than enough. The chips are amazing.

The Queens Head Country Pub is an absolute gem that exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The rustic charm of the pub created the perfect ambiance for a delightful dining experience. Let's talk about the food—it was simply outstanding! The menu offered a wide range of options, and I must say, every dish we ordered was an absolute delight. The quality of the ingredients was evident in every bite, and the flavors were expertly balanced. The pub takes great pride in using locally sourced produce, and it truly shines through in the taste and presentation of the dishes. Whether you're a fan of classic pub favorites or looking to try something more adventurous, the Queens Head Country Pub has something to satisfy every palate. One aspect that sets this place apart is their dog-friendly policy. As a dog owner, it was refreshing to find a place that not only accommodates four-legged companions but genuinely welcomes them. The pub provides a comfortable outdoor seating area where dogs can relax while their owners enjoy a fantastic meal. The staff even went above and beyond to provide fresh water and treats for our furry friends. It's evident that the staff understands the importance of including our beloved pets in our dining experiences. Apart from the incredible food and dog-friendly environment, the service at the Queens Head was exceptional. The staff members were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. They provided helpful recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed to have a memorable time. The attention to detail and genuine care for their guests made the entire experience even more enjoyable. The Queens Head is a true hidden gem. From the delectable food to the dog-friendly atmosphere and the outstanding service, every aspect of this establishment deserves applause. Whether you're looking for a place to enjoy a delicious meal with friends and family or seeking a dog-friendly pub to relax with your furry companion, the Queens head should be at the top of your list. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Took my partner here for the their first time and they were very pleasantly surprised! Beautiful, quaint little pub and wonderful service (I think the waitress/server was new and she did a great job!). Food was very nice but everything was slightly over cooked sadly, I was going to send my fish back as it was quite burnt underneath but it was getting busy by that point and we had the dog at home bless so couldn’t wait but other than that everything was awesome! The crumble at the end wasn’t what I was expecting, more of a deconstructed crumble with a lacking of sauce/compote which would’ve made it!

Great food. Not the cheapest place but good value

Located in a charming, rustic environment. Good food served by a friendly host. This place has a great ambience. Anybody around 6ft tall needs to mind the beams! Limited covers so booking essential. Recommended.

This pub was outstanding. Similarly priced to other pubs in the area but with good portion sizes and a lovely freindly atmosphere. Really feels like a family run place with real people not corporate robots. We were warmly welcomed and they had pub games inside and a rope swing outside. So pleased we went back 2 days in a row. One Vegan and one vegetarian option available both of which were excellent.

Great beer, top choons on the rotation. The best place sip a beer in IP19 forget The Star down the road. I've not tried the food but I'll be sure to do next time in here. This is what pubs are all about.

Don't go lunch time unless you are eating the place seem to be smaller.asked for half pint shandy and given a pint.?

Limited menu but great service and ambiance

Warm cosy friendly service and great food and beer 🍻

Cosy pub. Went just after New year, food was good portion size but not particularly great but ok to fill you up.

Great place and staff - will drop in again

Such a nice meal...attention to detail. Cosy friendly pub..recommended!

Lovely classic country pub with superb chef and bar staff making it the best place to visit when passing.

We were visiting the local area for a break for NYE, and stumbled across this pub. They managed to squeeze us in when they were really busy on New Year’s Eve. Dog friendly too! What a beautiful little nimble pub! Food was delicious and fresh! By far the best we’ve had on our visit. Would definitely recommend.

A party of us for lunch today and the service, food and atmosphere were brilliant. Staff were really friendly and nothing was too much trouble . Thank you !! We will cone back !!!

Very cosy pub. The pork belly was exceptional, the best I have ever had. Service was great and I would highly recommend visiting here.

Lovely pub. Great beer, friendly staff

So bad. Terrible service, took ages and the food was bad as well!

We were staying not far away so The Queen's Head became our local for the weekend. Really lovely countryside pub with a wonderful nostalgic feel. Great service from Josh and the rest of the team. Would wholly recommend. Oh and the Sunday Roasts are out of this world. Can't wait to go back.

Excellent lunch well worth a visit

This is a lovely country pub with friendly service and delicious food. Highly recommend. Booking essential.

Had a fantastic meal here. Starters, mains and desserts were all delicious for a fam of 4! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Had lunch there today 27/10/22 4 × adults four empty plates at the end of the meal says it all. Food really tasty, presented well and with great service. Will definitely go back again and would recommend to others to try if you have not already.

A great little country pub! Adnams on tap, really super food, and friendly service. Would definitely recommend!

100% Recommend. Absolutely beautiful food and atmosphere. We enjoyed our two trips to this pub while away on holiday. Will be back.

A nice pub in East Suffolk just a 5 minute drive from the A12. Nice meal, not too bad a price. Serves adnams beer which is a plus.

We had the sausage and mash with greens which exceeded all expectations. Lovely quality sausages, excellent customer service, would definitely visit again.

What a delightful, delicious surprise to visit here after a 3-year absence. This Inn is an oasis of individuality from their unique coffee mugs to their parsnip and kale crispy ribbon garnishes. Smoked fish platter perfect; fish & chips super with homemade made mushies!! Prices reasonable can’t wait to return for the Sunday roasties and Josh’s great hospitality. :-))

Absolutely fantastic service and the food was to die for. Thanks to Lucy who served us and despite being short staffed managed to give us a brilliant service whilst managing the needs of all the other customers. Flawless service 👏👏

Very lovely food .service was good

Superb food, lovely old pub, very well kept Adnams beers. Would recommend a visit if you're passing.

What a shame. Lovely looking pub in a great location. Such a pity the food is way overpriced. £10.50 for a tiny (no topping) pizza that didn’t fill an 8 year old. Tiny Caprese salad (3 cherry tomatoes and small bit of mozzarella) for £8.50. And the cherry on the cake, fish and chips for £15.50, which consisted of half a fillet of fish and a small portion of miserable chips. Terrible customer service when complaint made. There are plenty of better places to eat. Avoid at all costs.

Lovely food and very nice staff.We had a lovely meal sitting in the garden.

Food is absolutely incredible, the pizza in particular is probably the best I've ever had. All of the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful - I actually live almost an hour from here but am happy to make the journey most weekends it's so good!

Great food and service definitely go back

Really good roast dinner (even the veg was delicious!) and very friendly staff.

Absolut lecker. Alles war sehr gut, mit regionalen Produkten, gekocht. Die Bratwürste waren so was von gut. Ich komme aus der Bratwurststadt Nürnberg in Deutschland. Da habe ich Ahnung von Bratwürsten. Diese waren von einem guten Metzger und "genau auf den Punkt" gebraten. Eine gut passende Menge an Gemüse (auch gut gewürzt und knackig) und ein guter frisch gemachter Kartoffelbrei haben das Gericht abgerundet. Ich würde gerne 10 Punkte vergeben.

Incredibly good pizzas and burgers, you won't be disappointed...all food is fresh cooked from scratch so be patient and you'd be served a real proper amazing meal! Also nice selection of beers and very friendly staff

The best vegan meal I’ve ever eaten and fantastic value for money. My family had the lamb roast and said it was the most unique they’ve had. Also recommend the fish and chips because of the red pepper ketchup alone!

Lovely traditional pub. Very friendly staff. The food was exceptional, all home made and absolutely delicious. The burger was typed with incredible pickles and really good cheese

Overpriced food with a very cheeky almost dishonest way of serving food. The Menu you offers you a choice ie. burger and you pay stupid money for just the burger... You then have to buy the chips separately adding to the cost. Same with most things on menu. Not impressed

Friendly traditional pub. I'm told the burger was amazing.
