Pleasant local pub. Prices reasonable in this day and age and friendly and efficient staff. Good car parking and the food is good if not Michelin starred. Good range of beers and sports on TV if you like that, also a pool table. A garden to sit when the weather is fine. Good pub for locals and visitors.

Awful hostile atmosphere from the "locals". Felt like it might kick off at any point. Felt very uncomfortable and unable to relqx. The women in there were dancing about side eying with dirty looks and whilst sitting outside under thr cover had some bloke accusing my partner of having his phone !! The said individual had eyes like saucers so clearly off his nit! Shame as a nice pub but visitors arent made welcome by the locals ! Lived here for 30 years and was warmed by several people i know it isnt a welcoming pub i will now avoid unless i want a punch up ! Dinkum far more welcoming so shall stick with that

Food was excellent would go back there again. Plenty of parking spaces cleanliness inside and outside the building .

During my infrequent visits to see the family I always make a bee-line for the British Queen, see prevoius review. My sister booked a table for a meal 2 days in advance. When we arrived even earlier than we said we would, we were told we hadn't booked and there were no tables left. Upon looking at their booking in book her reservation was there. Sorry they said. We should have gone elsewhere as it turns out, but they rearranged the tables and fitted us in. After ordering almost every table was on their dessert or had left before we got anything to eat. Two of us has the roast of the day and it was apparent we got the trimmings although the veg was recently cooked and nice. Two of us has the last of one of the puddings and by this time we were the only ones present. My pudding was under-heated. When going for the bill nearly 2 hours after entering I had no idea how it was broken down because I was only told the bottom line.I wonder why?

We have visited here twice recently, once as a couple and once with family. I would recommend the food here which is well cooked and served by friendly staff. The lamb steak is the best that I have tasted anywhere and was beautifully cooked, The puddings are good too and varied with each visit.

When my friend and I visited today, there were already people waiting outside, waiting for doors to open...and when we got in, all but a few places were reserved for lunch. My friend had excellent garlic mushrooms on toasted bread with a salad and I had a toasted cheese and ham sandwich with good quality ham and cheddar and salad. The staff are very kind and attentive and the whole place has the ambience of family coming to visit. I immediately felt at home and very welcome. A great local asset and now that my friend is coming to live in the area, we both agree a second visit very soon is on the cards.

We didn’t book but decided last minute to meet our Daughter & Boyfriend for Sunday Lunch. We received a very warm welcome & a table was found to accommodate us. There was a varied menu & we all enjoyed the food. The Roast Lamb was excellent & the service was prompt & with a smile. The atmosphere was great & just how local pubs used to be on a Sunday - with a packed entertainment program through the week & Sunday free snacks on the bar & a Meat Raffle! The Pub appeared really well supported by the local community. We would thoroughly recommend & will be back again - thank you! 👍😀

Walking the dog with my wife, and stopped for a wine and a shandy, as you do when it's a nice evening. I noticed that my pint seemed a little flat but it was refreshingly chilled, but as we continued our walk, with in five minutes I brought it all up. Thankfully I hadn't drank it all. Sorry British Queen...we will not be back.

This Public House-Pub,is a lovely place to go for a nice lunch n drinks or even a dinner as the staff make you feel very welcome and helpful as for the food well it depends on what you like but for me the food was very nice and tasty,the only thing I found was parking as the car park can get full up as its not that big n also cars tend to be parked half on n half of the pavment, but apart from that the British Queen is a nice place to go and visit.

Yesterday my husband and I visited the British Queen for lunch as we had heard that it had a very nice menu and after parking in the car park we made our way inside. On entering we were greeted with a smile and "hello" which was very welcoming. We ordered our drinks and the lady explained that there was a 20 minute wait which wasn't a problem for us. We thought if there was a wait the food will be freshly cooked which when it arrived was. We ordered from the smaller portion (pensioner) menu but when it arrived it was a very generous size. I had the scampi and chips and my husband had the ham, eggs, and chips and his was a generous size too. The food was really nice, beautifully cooked and piping hot. So much so if we had wanted a dessert we couldn't possibly have managed one. Well done British Queen we will be returning on a future visit.

Waited 60 minutes for a very simple main meal for three adults - got accused of being rude when asked where our food was - so we demanded a refund and walked out. The pub was not busy nor were the staff rushed off their feet. I dread to think how long we would have had been waiting, had they been very busy, and the staff were rushed off their feet. The conduct of the staff was highly belligerent and somewhat incredulous, hence, why we shall not be returning.

Family party here annually, half of us order food then the other half are told the kitchen isn't taking orders for an hour so they can catch up. Had to order in and eat dominoes in the pub garden, last year we hold the party there...prebooked you think they'd be prepared. Staff even got rude and confuntational when we mentioned that it was disappointing.

Went for a birthday lunch on a Friday afternoon and after a long wait for our food it was a huge disappointment. Food was burnt/dry and tasted like it had been reheated. Chips were hard and the jacket potato looked and tasted like it was left over from the day before. Barmaid who took our food and drink order was also not very welcoming and didn't even give us chance to complete our drinks order fully and got it wrong.

Popped in for a Sunday lunch and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. My garlic mushrooms were the best I have had in a long while and the lamb shank was very tender. Real ale sold included "Old cocky" a new one to me and nice, the usual local brew of Harveys and another unknown to me of Tribute. A very good Sunday meal with the usual smiling and efficient service.

Went to the British Queen on an early Saturday evening with the idea for a meal. Waited ages to get served - there was only one harassed guy serving all the semi-drunk locals swearing and puffing their vapes at the bar. (In fact, one of those locals was served before me despite me waiting longer - at least the pub knows how to look after its regulars I suppose).
