Lovely place , very welcoming , wide selection of drinks and excellent food

My wife and myself stayed for one night, fantastic roomo evening meal was 5star as was the breakfast and all of the staff, will definitely stay again when next in the area...

Back from Australia and had another amazing meal again at the Queens Head. Theakstons OP too. The fish bake was to die for.

I stayed here for about two weeks while i was working in the area. I enjoyed my stay here. food is top notch and the staff are welcoming. I will be back.

Update: Still great, when we came back a year later. Excellent food with good sized portions and the staff were engaging & friendly. And the Full English was tip-top and the best I've had in ages! The rooms were well kept & provided with tea & biscuits. The only downside was that our room was too hot (after a hot day in early Sept) and the windows were screwed shut so we couldn't air it.

Lovely meal. It has a wide and varied menu and I had trouble choosing as I wanted loads of different meals! I had lamb chops in the end and they were cooked beautifully and were good quality tasty meat with some nice veg. Very happy, wish I had had room for pudding!

Stayed here whilst visiting friends in leeds, its ok if you like sleeping in grannies house. not very up to date for the cost of the room. breakfast was just ok.no phone signal, stank a bit of dog or damp. My husband said there was ants on the bar which is surely a health hazard. need to try harder and do better. I guess talking to the locals on our walk around the very pretty village they said it had just been refurbished, I can't for the life of me see where it's been anything. it really has had its day. could do with a good shake up. toilet was noisy and unclean. Still a super little village with plenty of friendly people. no shops r cycle tracks which is a shame.

The Queens Head Inn is a welcoming gem nestled at the green cross roads of Kettlesing. There is so much to see in the area from Yorkshire Moors National Park to Fountains Abbey to the spa town of Harrogate. I stayed for 3 nights and used it as my refuge when cycling through the tempestuous Yorkshire Moors. I was so glad to come back to my room at night with all the creature comforts especially the warm bath and the hearty food at the pub downstairs. Then, to fall asleep in the warm bed to the baying of lambs in the fields. Louise and her husband run the Inn like clockwork.. (the clock at the pub actually runs backwards!) A full English breakfast comes with the room and it’s all you need for a day of adventuring.

I ate here this evening with my family after visiting Fountains Abbey. The food was absolutely fantastic. I eat out a lot, and this was ‘next level’. It’s a lovely pub in a nice little village, very quiet and scenic. There are EV charging points, excellent parking and the service was just as good as the food. I couldn’t recommend this enough, and I will 💯 be returning at some point.

Good food, lovely staff, what more could you ask for?

The only downside was accessibility, if you parked in the good sized car park there was no rear access for people with mobility issues. We parked on the road side to the front which bearing in mind it's a country pub was a bit iffy. The lady who served us was very hospitable and the food was lovely, so after all said we would return but only if there happened to be a place outside the front.😃

Fantastic Villiage pub Excellent food attentive staff 👌

We visited the Queen's Head last week. We both had a wonderful meal. The quality of the meal was first class at a really good price. Service was good too. Would definitely recommend a meal here

Nice typical British pub. Nice meal and great vegetable soup.

Me and a friend had planned to go to another pub as they were advertising x2 steak and bottle of wine for £40 - when we arrived despite saying outside food being served, the bar lady told us the chef wasn't working - very annoyed and disappointed we left and came across the Queens head Inn - it was a Tuesday night and obviously hadn't booked - (we also had the dog with us!) when we arrived it was thriving - we managed to find one table and sat ourselves down. The staff were so friendly. We ordered 2 meals off of the specials board - Tomapork (yes that is correct!) steak and Lamb Rump steak - the food was incredible and huge portions (the lady who served us even joked that she couldn't find a smaller one!) All in all - we have now decided to ditch the other pub who were unfriendly and uninviting and come here in future - but ill book next time because I don't want to miss out!! ;) Sorry no pictures taken as we were too hungry to be bothered and food was too good not to eat :)

Good food, large portions and reasonable prices.

This inn is in a quiet village with easy access to surrounding sights. Our room was spacious and comfortable, the bathroom large and clean. The food in the charming pub was excellent. There is an area in back to sit at tables, but unfortunately there's no covered area.

3rd visit to this very friendly pub with lovely rooms and excellent food Great atmosphere and quite rooms

Great food highly recommend going

We live locally so we know this pub has a good reputation for great food at a reasonable price. We took our aunt there today for Sunday lunch and what a great lunch we got. There is a very reasonable priced 1,2 or 3 course lunch. The starter choices were good, the prawn cocktail I had was very tasty. The Sunday lunch (lamb for me) was very tender, lots of great veg, a yummy Yorkshire pud all piping hot with lots of gravy. Auntie had a sponge and custard which was very light and met with her approval greatly. This was served up by very friendly staff, Megan and Louise. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed. We certainly weren’t. 😃

Absolutely perfect place. Room was great with a king size bed and bath.. Food fantastic, and all at a most reasonable tariff. Real log fire in dining room, even for breakfast. Service excellent.

Met up with friends for an evening meal together. We enjoyed great food in a very homely atmosphere. This is a well liked country pub in a quiet village. We hadn't been for some time but will certainly be visiting again. Worth a shot!

A great country pub with wholesome home cooked food. Dog friendly! A nice stop after a long walk. Keep in mind the Sunday menu is much smaller than the standard menu so okay if you’re happy with a Sunday Roast. No phone signal, so you’ll have to talk to each other 🤪

Excellent food, good service, nice atmosphere, good selection of drinks We had the mothers day menu which was reasonablly priced, will be back

Highly recommend a stay! Clean rooms, comfy beds, authentic feel. Excellent cooked breakfast, pub grub and cask ales.

Sunday lunch, very good. Lovely beef and veg was just right, apple crumble super. Beer nice, lovely staff, friendly locals.

This was great for a cosy night out in January. Open log fire and friendly staff created a warm and relaxing atmosphere. Food informal but fabulous. Lovely prawn cocktail and garlic mushrooms to start with quality fillet steak cooked to perfection. Disappointed we could only manage to share dessert as the meringue with raspberries was amazing. Stayed over in a great comfortable room - good value for money with quality English breakfast included in price. Highly recommend.

Amazing food and great service. Warm and very welcoming, lovely picturesque setting. Great selection of food and good choice of cask ales. Well worth a visit.

We usually give huge praise for delicious food and service. However I recently had the baby haddock. It was absolutely awful. The batter wasn’t crispy and the fish was a very odd colour- not white and fleshy. Very disappointing given I arrived starving!

Had my Xmas dinner night out with lifeline tonight. The food was fantastic and so where the staff nice and friendly. I will be back with family and friends.

Excellent place to stay, a real fire, real ale and a real good atmosphere. Fantastic food and friendly helpful staff. Had a great time sure we will go again next year.

We decided to stay at this pub since we were visiting Harrogate for the weekend. Great location and only 15 minutes away from Harrogate.

Glen and Louis are excellent hosts. I've eaten practically everything on the menu, and each dish was awesome.

Great food and atmosphere in a central village location

Fabulous Pub with exquisit food! Pub cuisine at its best with very friendly service and a cosy atmosphere. The desert menu in itself is to die for hehe! We were 6 including two kids! And we only paid 85£ including drinks!! Super value for what we got too!

Sunday lunch was superb today. Roast beef is definitely recommended. Apple and sultana crumble is also a star choice.

Stayed in village for a holiday,,nice atmosphere will return..

An all round super stay. 5 star, accommodation, hospitality, food and beers. Highly recommended. Enjoy x

Wij hadden hier slechts 1 overnachting op onze doorreis naar Edinburgh. Ondanks het korte verblijf waren we enorm onder de indruk van deze authentieke, gerestaureerde ‘Inn’. Super vriendelijke, hardwerkende mensen, erg nette en complete kamers, verbazend snelle internetverbinding (zeker voor het Engelse platteland) goed diner en heerlijk ontbijt. Een aanrader en niet alleen voor 1 nacht. In de omgeving is volop te ontdekken.

Lovely people great atmosphere and location

Nice traditional Yorkshire pub with good food and a nice range of beers and wines.

Didn't stay at the inn, but had a lovely meal. We'll cooked, nicely presented, reasonably priced and tasty.

Overpriced pub grub, Service good, friendly, but the food wasn't that good for the inflated prices charged🙄

Stopped by for a Sunday lunch a few weeks ago when we were leaving the area at the end of the holiday, booked last minute. A quant pub in a lovely small village. Food was ok (3/5 stars), but the decent service made up for it (5/5 stars).

Super friendly and attentive staff. Have electric car chargers too which is a massive bonus! Great country pub that we will definitely be returning to.

Dropped in for Sunday lunch. Very cosy, friendly and attentive staff, absolutely delicious food - empty plates all round.

Had a really nice bangers and mash with peas for lunch. Good portions and excellent gravy. Will definitely return.

Really nice country pub, definitely worth a visit.

Very small sandwich for £10, poor quality bread for price. Would not recommend.

A warm welcome, a nice pint and fantastic food, what else could you possibly need?

Great country pub and restaurant with welcoming staff.

Just had lunch here. The food and service were excellent.

Charming village pub, made is a snack when we arrived on the Sunday evening. Excellent breakfasts.

10/10 for the Sunday lunch. Great beer, friendly staff.

It was great to park MH free for a night. Lovely food, too. Sadly, there was no sign in the car park, but WiFi was inside

Nicely out of the way and quiet but easy reach of Harrogate. Nice chatty welcome and a great steak. Room a tad basic, no wall hangings but it had everything we needed. No phone signal here but good WiFi. Good tea/coffee facility in room and bonus FREE ev charging. Would stay again, if fact tried to book for our return journey but they're full.

My wife and i visited The Queens head on 3 evenings while holidaying in beautiful Yorkshire . We found the food menu gave ample choice and all our meals were delicious . We were always given a friendly welcome and dealt with attentively , well done The Queens we would have no hesitation in recommending your lovely pub ,and yes we will be back .

Wunderschöne Gegend, Tolle Service. Ganz freundlich. Zimmer super bequem und sauber. Kann ich nur empfehlen 🤩

Another fantastic stay Owners Glenn, Louise, and Megan perfect hosts Amazing food once again Another relaxing stay See you September

Such a lovely and welcoming place , stuff very attentive and nothing was to much . Top accommodation food was scrumptious ales to , fabulous breakfast all in all a good experience was had and we intend to return . Many thanks Angela and Bill . ( Cheeseboard ) . Return visit done usual high standards thoroughly recommend this establishment .

Disappointing meal last night. I had the lamb and my wife had the chicken with tarragon sauce. The lamb was rather tasteless and only served with mash and peas. The tarragon sauce also lacked flavour and the accompanying veg of broccoli , carrots, and new potatoes looked and tasted like they had been kept warm for hours. We have previously had very good meals here so we were surprised at the poor quality of the meals.

Called in for Sunday lunch as staying within walking distance. Limited menu on Sunday which was Sunday roast with meat options, sea bass and a steak in ale pie. Not being a huge roast fan I went for the pie. What a great choice I made. Best pie I have ever eaten. Full of tender beef and rich tasty sauce. Others in party had the roast which they were very happy with. Good deserts too.

Decent coffee and friendly staff. Nice break of the main Harrogate - Skipton road.

A lovely pub with great facilities, delicious food and wonderful staff. Popped in for Sunday roast beef and apple crumble and grabbed an hour on their EV charger, whilst we ate in the glorious sunshine in the courtyard - I was in heaven. Highly recommended.

Seriously good place to be for a few days, good service, nice and clean rooms. Great food. Great breakfast to! Quiet lovely place. We had a really good time!The only complain was that we had to check out because we need to get to the boat in Hull.

Fantastic food and service. Enjoyed a Friday evening meal at the pub. Was so full we asked to take desserts home. No problem! Also booked in for Sunday morning breakfast which was super too. Highly recommend this pub. Management and staff are really friendly. Thank you Queens Head!

Had evening meal and Sunday breakfast here. Food excellent and management and staff very friendly. Would thoroughly recommend 👍

Stayed two nights, comfortable room, great location in beautiful Dales village, electric car chargers were useful for me, evening meals excellent (good choice, well cooked, plenty on plate, good service) - but what summed up a great stay for me was that I asked for an early breakfast on the Sunday, it was no problem, Louise waiting for me in dining area at 6.00 a.m., friendly as ever. Highly recommended!

Machtig mooie wandel en motor omgeving hier. Wij waren hier 3 dagen met de motor vanuit Nederland. Prima kamers, heerlijk eten. Prima bediening.

Very decent food here and a cracking pint. I had duck in orange sauce with new Potato's and carrots (gorgeous) and Broccoli. My wife had the Chicken in cream and mushroom sauce. Both were excellent. Topped off with a pint of Theakstons Best which was perfect, should have booked a room and had another! Pub has just been refurbished, new carpets and re-upholstered furniture, freshly painted. Very cosy and comfortable. Loved it!

My partner and I eat here very often. The food is fantastic, the staff are fantastic. It's always busy, so book so you're not disappointed. It's dog friendly too. The pub is traditional 'oldie worldie country' pub, very clean and tidy.

Party of four, all had a very good meal , friendly staff , good beer ,better than the Nelson on price and quality and quantity. Electric car charging in large car park.

Lovely, relaxed, homely stay at The Queens Head on 4th April this year. The staff were so attentive, helpful and friendly especially the owner Louise. We've already booked to stay again soon.

Fantastic 3 night stay. Food is top notch great breakfast something for everyone on the menu. Service second to none.

This is our go-to restaurant for a night out or when we have visitors in town, we like to come here! The chef’s food is always on point. I usually get a seafood dish and it’s always cooked perfectly. My husband’s fav is the steak and ale made with generous chunks of meat - he’s never disappointed! They have the normal offerings my little kids love too. Apart from the food we always enjoy a chat with the owner or waitstaff- everyone is so friendly, it truly feels like we’re regulars here when we visit.

We were late and they had stopped serving but they still rustled up the freshest prawn sandwiches and chunky chips! Delishious thank you

Made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. Very spacious bedroom and en-suite. Excellent choice of food and wine available in the restaurant. Breakfast was amazing…and there is the ability to pick and choose what you would like. The village is quiet but charming. Lots of wildlife in the area, too. The country lanes were quiet enough to walk along with enough space to let cars pass when they did appear.

Lovely inn in Yorkshire. The rooms are big and comfortable, the food hearty and traditional and the service couldn’t have been better. The staff helped us move our car during a heavy snowstorm and went out of their way to ensure we got to town safely.

Lovely village pub. We just dropped in by chance, we were driving by and just fancied a drink and a snack. It was the Sunday lunch menu only but the staff were happy to go off-menu and make us a sandwich. It was a very welcoming and cosy place to be.

Lovely cozy setting, really lovely friendly staff and amazing food. Highly recommended

Lovely Dales pub with fabulous home cooked food in a beautiful location.

Wonderful location, gorgeous food. Staff very friendly and helpful.

We came upon the Queens Head by accident, we hadn’t read any reviews so didn’t know what to expect. It was such a pleasant surprise to find a genuine pub with a great atmosphere and staff. The food was wholesome and fresh and the staff were caring. We’ll definitely be back.

Amazing takeaway Steak Pie! Winner!!

Amazing pie, best pie in Harrogate!! Secret recipe

We booked Sunday lunch at the Queens Head on New Years day as it was fairly local and somewhere we hadn't eaten at previously. On arrival we ordered drinks and were shown to our table. It was fairly busy, a large party were just leaving. We ordered 2 roast beef dinners at the bar and sat enjoying our drinks and the warmth from the coal fire. Our dinners arrived fairly quickly, the beef was a little well done for me, but still tender and plenty of it, the rest comprised 2 small Yorkshire's, 2 new, 2 roast potatoes, carrots & broccoli. My plate was very lacking in gravy for my liking so I asked the waitress if it was possible to have a drop more, she returned with a small cream jug containing my extra gravy and my wife and I finished our meals, which we both thought were fine. Had better, but equally had a lot worse. Not wanting desserts or coffees we duly paid and left. I happened to look at the bill later that evening and was staggered to find the waitress who prepared my bill had charged us £2.95 for the extra gravy!! It's the owners prerogative what they charge for their fayre, but £2.95 extra for a small jug of gravy, c'mon!

Nice friendly pub. We were a party of three. Two really enjoyed their meals...fish and chips and an all day breakfast, both cooked well with quality foods. I had the soup of the day, which was vegetable. Unfortunately it was far too seasoned and quite strong in taste. Yet it must be difficult to get this right for each individual. However we enjoyed our visit and would definitely return if we were in the area.

Not a good experience for me. Sorry. Fish and chips awful.

Spot on. Reasonable prices for really fresh, tasty popular pub food. Good selection of beer and drinks. Interior was cosy and comfy, and the staff really pleasant, all topped off with free EV charging while you're there.

We visited this establishment on Friday evening, arrived at 19:20 for are booking at 19:30 to be told that they hadn't go the following, fillet steak, lamb or chicken. So that's half the menu down, I could understand if it was late at night and they had been busy. But to run out of 3 main essentials is very poor planning on behalf of the owner. The waiter when asked simple questions didn't know the answers, food was OK but overpriced for what it was. Its a shame

Good drinks, brilliant service, and the best steak and ale pie you'll ever have.

Warm and cosy. Good menu choices plus specials. Food has always been very good when we visit. very friendly host.

Just home from a fabulous 3 night stay at the queens head inn, staff were very friendly and the room was superb, breakfast and evenings meals were also superb

Very helpful in again supplying take away soup for pensioners on a day out. Lovely soup too! Thank you.

Great food at a good price. Always a warm welcome in lovely surroundings - would definitely recommend.

Found this place when looking for a country pub to have lunch after a walk at the near reservoir. As an Italian, I always enjoy the Yorkshire warmness and this place gives exactly that. Lovely and cozy, and the food was great and genuine. Seems like you can also stay overnight, will definitely try that next time.

Fantastic night they made you feel welcome polite and friendly and the food was excellent

10 out of 10. Food superb customer service second to none.
