The Queen's Chew Magna in Bath and North East Somerset

Booked here for a joint birthday on saturday for 11 of us. Some of us chefs and still working in the industry/own businesses so food is very important when booking. We chose The Queens because the reviews were great and the menu online looked great. The menu on the day was different but also felt reduced and simplified. I was a bit disappointed it had quite standard options like burger, steak, fish, ham egg and chips but thats not always a bad thing if the food is spectacular. We also didnt mind spending top end for lunch if it was going to be worth it. I ordered bavette which they said would be served pink but on arrival it was overdone and smaller than the other 2. The food was ok, it didnt wow me which was a shame and left feeling underwhelmed. Wine was amazing, staff were so friendly and welcoming, garden was lovely, tidy and sunny. We had a lovely time but not sure id come back and pay that much for the standard of food. Shame.

We had Sunday lunch for 4 of us, 3 of us had the beef and one the Vegetarian Wellington. I must say the services was good, unfortunately the food wasn’t quite as good as the service. The beef was one thick slice which was very nice but really not enough for myself and my son, my son’s girlfriend loved the Veg Wellington she said it’s the best she’s had. Unfortunately the sides and veg left a lot to be desired. Puréed carrot and swede not for us, cabbage mixed with a few peas and courgettes, the cauliflower cheese & broccoli mix was very nice so we’re the roast potatoes . The weird thing was beetroot on the plate, we all left that so a very strange mixture of flavours. Lastly the gravy had a very bland taste and with 4 pints, 3 wines and a pint of coke it came to £220, so a bit more meat, proper carrots and veg that’s not puréed and we will be back. Happy to pay if the meals worth it.

Sunday roasts are great! Friendly staff, great place!

Nothing wrong with the place or food, but I was frankly flabbergasted at the price of a roast. £24 for one thin slice of ‘steak’, 1 Yorkshire pudding, tiny amount of mash, 8 roast potatoes, bowl of peas and kale (shared between two people in a bowl) and some other bits like a tiny beetroot. No cauliflower cheese but no offer of replacement or other food to replace. I think quite frankly the Sunday roast is a complete and utter rip off. At this price point it should be one of the best in country but it’s not even one of the best in Bristol. I would never ever come back.

Lovely food, brilliant service ☆☆☆☆☆

We went out for a family meal last night & the experience really was wonderful...we each had a plate from the menu & everything was so delicious! Many thanks to all the staff too who were so welcoming & friendly.

What a great find. I read only recently re-opened. A credit to everyone front of house and behind the scenes for a refreshingly different Sunday Lunch. The team have clearly thought through how to make the lunch experience that little bit better than everywhere else with some lovely touches to the vegetables and trimmings. Sticky toffee pudding is to die for. Front of house staff all welcoming and very accommodating to our requests. Well done everyone, we shall be returning irrespective of the 34 mile round trip 👌

Popped in for a drink busy and friendly

One of the top ten Sunday roasts I have had out!

Celebrating Mum’s Birthday, could not fault. The Menu has been carefully put together, great choices, exceptional food and service. Dad said the best Ham&Eggs he’s had in a long time! Can definitely recommend. Well done, great to see a pub that knows how to do it!

Such a great find ... wonderful atmosphere, great food, drinks selection and very friendly and professional team. Dog friendly and very relaxed crowd - locals and visitors coming for the great food. Highly recommended. Thank you.

We have visited The Queens many times and have always had a exceptional meal, and the front of house are very friendly and knowledgeable, cant wait to book again.

Delicious roast and excellent service. Great gluten free options too!

Excellent food not enough vegetables but had to wait for sauces and no salt & pepper on table

Visited the pub on the way to Bristol Airport ( slight de tour). Beautiful liking pub with a nice chilled vibe to it. The food was delicious and the the service was excellent. We’ll definitely call again ! Worth a visit.

Best roast ever, couldnt fault the food and service ! Starters were so tasty all my family had the wings. Then for after sticky toffee pudding it was lovely . The lamb just melted in the mouth and the beef was cooked perfect. Great pub garden for drinks in the sun

Great Burger! 'Clear Head' on tap and great service! Thank you!

The food was very good , but not a fan of ‘the small plates’ we had a selection as starters which were all great , but was surprised that our main courses also came out on small plates , you order sides , but felt we had so many plates on the table , not a lot of room , saying that would more than likely go back

Excellently kept real ale at The Queens. Free Wi-Fi too. Does rooms and the food looks good. My vote for the best pub in Chew Magna.

Excellent meal tonight celebrating our daughters graduation. Service excellent.

Great place. Excellent food, Friendly staff lovely garden and setting.

Excellent quality food, great selection of choices on the menu small plates or main courses. We will return the next time we fly into Bristol Airport.

Superb food served by quality waiting staff in a beautiful, old pub in a quiet street in Chew Magna. What more can you ask for?Cheers.

Phenomenal food, with exceptional service. Still can’t get over how good the food (had the Sunday menu) was. Premium drinks also (in terms of soft). Already can’t wait to return.

Lovely rooms, friendly staff and beautiful food. Only thing we thought odd was the breakfast.. It was advertised as continental, which was ok. But no coffee or toast available. We will definitely return but remember to take a coffee down from our room!

Not my cup of tea went for Sunday roast, there's alot of flavours going on like cinnamon or star anise in the red cabbage, a spoon of parsnip puree that got mixed in the gravy as it was under the Yorkshire pudding that was literally full of air, you get one slice of pork belly that is also covered in a apple sauce I didn't even taste the stuffing that came with it, we had some green cabbage and some peas and some other thing looked like cucumber tossed in some oil or something, the cauliflower cheese very small portion literally consists of two florets, you get one roast potatoe which is cut in half, it's a very complicated taste, I prefer to taste my veg as appososed to allsorts of added flavours, the jerk chicken wings for starters were bland you can hardly taste anything related to a jerk chicken, it was accompanied by a sauce that was literally a few dribbles, and sprinkled with some chilli seeds, or something sadly not to my taste.

The Queens is our go to our in Chew Magna. It is a friendly place with a good selection of beers, ciders, wine etc. We have eaten there and found the food excellent. There is a great large rear beer garden to use on sunny days. The owner of the pub is often there along with his family - the pub is a credit to them. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend the Queens to locals and visitors alike.

We went at 1.45 Sunday 4/6. We had a warm welcome from Jean. We decided to have drinks in a very pleasant sunny garden. Our order was taken and served at our table inside on time. The food was hot and delicious with large portions. It was extremely good value money,including drinks. We’ll certainly be back, the staff continually checked if all was well.

First visit but definitely not our last. Very friendly welcome. We were offered an outside or inside table. We chose to sit inside despite it being a lovely day. Our Sunday roast lunch was superb. Bubble and squeak croquette and squid to start, followed by a pork and a beef roast. Both meats cooked extremely well. Veggies were plentiful and not at extra cost (which seems to a norm these days). Sticky toffee pudding and a pavlova for dessert. All the food was great and obviously home cooked. Very friendly staff, nice atmosphere.

The food was excellent, I had the Cornish brill with asparagus. The portion sizes are generous, the flavour was good. A little bit too much oil on the plate but that was a minor consideration. My family had, sirloin steak which looked perfectly cooked at medium rare. Chicken schnitzel with jerk spices was very good also. The starter of crispy fried squid was delicious but I think they have missed a trick by not having a hot chilli version. The service was good and attentive, even though they were quite busy. All the staff greeted us and we felt welcomed and were offered a free drink by them as it was a double celebration.

Fabulous afternoon spent at the Queens! Great food, wonderful staff, friendly atmosphere! Highly recommend! Parking is tricky but plenty of spaces out on the road or by the church!

Fantastic service. Very comfortable

Off the beaten track behind the church. Lovely place with friendly, helpful staff. Only stopped for a cuppa so can't comment on the menu, but will be back.

The first visit post pandemic and the changes since my last attendance are quite astonishing and a pleasure to behold. Extensive indoor reconfiguration and decor after an expensive refit internally and externally, the garden is most attractively laid out. All it needs is conducive weather (not available on this visit) to be enjoyed. Money has been well spent. Not on the Cask Marque Ale Trail, although it should be. A Bristol Beer Factory 'Tme to Burn' (4%ABV) was well worth a Cask Marque accreditation. The front of staff were also quick to serve a sampler before purchase just as those who are Cask Marque trained are taught to do. Also worth a mention, Mike, our waiter on the day, courteous and attentive but not intrusive, clearly well attuned to customer facing protocol. The meals served, from a menue with many original recipes, was beyond reproach. My own starter, modified to my request and my dining colleague's faddy peculiarities, were catered for without demur. A most enjoyable evening - to be repeated.

Excellent food, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere.

Best Sunday roast I've had in a pub, and I've had many. Exquisite combination of foods and flavours. Delicious mix of greens cooked to perfection, and a purée with a subtle and intriguing taste. Generous helping of roast potatoes and gravy, crispsy Yorkshire puddings, lovely ales, friendly and attentive staff. No room for improvement. Highly recommended.

Everything about this lovely country pub was superb. Quick efficient service and a great food menu with a difference. Try the chilli squid and wonderful homemade burgers. Not your run of the mill menu. Certainly worth a visit.

A good find. Lovely Sunday lunch & interesting select of well kept cask ales

Aw this place is lovely. Lovely decor, amazing food, I had the burger. It was sooo tasty. Very filling. Staff lovely too. Nice outdoor space.

Only went in for drinks but lovely atmosphere and very obliging staff. Will definitely be going back to eat 👍

A very friendly welcome and excellent food

Really lovely meal and very pleasant staff.

Good Sunday lunch but we were shoved on a table in the drinks/waiting area rather than main dining area despite booking over a month in advance! We complained to the manager but didn’t receive any empathy. Shame as this ruined our dining experience especially as my children were visiting from Canada and were looking forward to a traditional pub lunch.

This place is great 10/10 roast - a rarity, everything cooked to perfection, crispy roasties great depth of flavors - good drink selection. as good a Sunday siting as you will find in the south west

Food delicious...we had Sunday lunches and unusual puddings after. Really good value. The lady who served us was efficient and very welcoming, a brilliant lady. Thank you

Absolutely superb from front of house welcome to a stunning Sunday Feast. One of if not the best we have had. Brilliant. Wish we lived nearer.

Lovely pub, beautiful decor and great menu Came here for lunch and staff were really friendly and attentive, especially Tom! Thanks, will definitely be back

Absolutely fantastic. Location beautiful. Staff friendly and professional. Food outstanding. Place spotless. Best Sunday Lunch ever easily.

We had a very pleasant Friday lunch there. The lunch menu isn’t quite as interesting as the dinner one, but it’s still well worth a visit. It’s was full in the dinning area so worth booking a table. Good food and friendly staff.

We went to The Queens in Chew Magna since it’s had new management and the food was delicious. My wife had small plates of harissa lamb, bubble and squeak and the padron peppers. I had the jerk ham ploughmans with Westcombe cheddar with mouthwatering pickles and others had the massive burgers with chips. Someone also had the “meatless farm” vegan burger which he said looked and tasted just like real succulent burger (he’s not vegan). Drinks options were all decent from local breweries and they had a brilliant cocktail menu. All in all a fantastic experience, would highly recommend.

Great overall experience. Dog friendly also Nice decor and layout. And a good varied menu with a mixture of classic pub items and some other dishes. Good value for money also. Service is extremely efficient (maybe too speedy actually) As someone else has mentioned, parking...

Tucked away in the back streets of Chew Magna, this isn’t somewhere you’re like to stumble across by accident but is certainly worth making the effort to track down. That said, first impressions weren’t great. Parking is pretty much non-existent, maybe half a dozen spaces...

Lovely pub, friendly atmosphere, very good service 👍

The food is different but all the better for that. Great service and the people in the pub were a great support when the news broke about the queen. Touching us all. I can thoroughly recommend it.

Great menu really friendly staff and fabulous selection of local produces 10/10

Superb. Excellent beer garden, dog friendly.

Arrived late afternoon on a Sunday hungry. Hadn't booked, but the staff squeezed us in. Lovely food too! Obliging, helpful, pleasant staff.

Great food and service. Large garden at the back. Limited parking that we could find close by, but others may know different. Recommended.

Delightful lunch, service a little slow but food worth waiting for! The GF options were excellent, but suggest they be shown on lunch menu.

Stop serving lunch at 2:30, men's toilets in a "private dining area", and no hand soap.

Lovely lunch in sunny garden. Attentive friendly staff. Small plates delicious and good value.

Ein tolles Restaurant und mit einem sehr schönen Garten und einem tollen Service. Das Essen war hervorragend und entsprach gehobenen Standard. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt.....Preise waren moderat

Never been here before. My wife and rI booked for the night en-route back to London. Charming - putting it mildly - pub/hotel in wondrous Somerset village. Had dinner- simply superb! Deserves a Michelin star. Lovage and torched mackerel starter - unbelievable - followed by best whole Plaice I’ve ever had ! Served with sobrasada butter and crisped Aioli potatoes. - could have been in Puerto Pollensa. Please don’t go there. - I want to keep it a secret.

What a lovely village. Stop over on the way to Cornwall. Very friendly locals. Would highly recommend. Three great pubs and would recommend the lazy lobster for something to eat

Great service from moment we arrived, and the food was delicious. We both had the chicken schnitzel, it was so tasty. Had a few of the bar snacks as starters and they were top notch as well. Will definitely go back next time we are...

One of the best Sunday roasts I've had this year. Every side perfectly executed and seasoned/dressed. The pork was fantastic.

Amazing food and friendly, helpful staff. There's a choice of sitting inside or out. Lots of ideas for using other buildings

Visited for the first time. We had to change our booking time from 1400 to 1200hrs on a Sunday! When we arived the staff jiggled about with the bookings list and fitted us in readily on a very busy day. Firstly, good ambience. My mackerel...

Lovely roast dinner today (I had the vegan option) and it was delicious. Good portion and come out hot. Busy place, so recommend booking. Lovely decor, did get quite warm in there but we just got more water and as people left it got cooler. Staff were so positive, friendly, helpful and kind whilst being professional. Real credit to the place. Street parking so get there earlier than your booking, for a space. Would highly recommend and would definitely return.

Great village pub, had a good night celebrating queens jubilee with live band out on the green.

I don't normally write reviews, but I thought I had to after having dinner and staying here this weekend. There was a slight mix up with my room (I was able to choose a specific room when I booked but had to go into a...

Lovely food, beautiful space. The staff were very friendly, and made us feel welcome to the area. They were also very helpful in getting us a table booked on the phone. There was plenty of options for varying dietary requirements, and staff were happy to amend orders to suit need. Bathroom facilities were lovely and clean. Parking was a bit tricky as we visited when it was quite busy! Would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Went for 3 small plates as a starter to share and a fish main, the food was good quality and fresh ingredients. Liked the ambience and the staff were friendly and attentive. Good pub lunch

Delicious one-of-a-kind menu items. Wonderful hospitality and staff definitely would come again and possibly try a roast as I imagine the quality would be amazing if it's anything like the main menu.😍🙌🏻

Excellent service and food in a lovely environment.

Food and service is amazing. Best roast in Chew Magna!

Decent beer,decent prices,nice beer garden all set in a beautiful area for a walk before a well earned pint

Fantastic tasty food at The Queens in Chew Magna, with a great service and friendly staff. We sat in the beautiful garden at the side of the restaurant. Dog friendly, our two border terriers even got sausages and dog bones! Highly recommended - Five Stars....

Excellent atmosphere, attentive and friendly staff!

Great food had a great time thanks

Saw a review by Bristol 24/7 so we booked a table. We had a delicious Sunday lunch, chicken and veggie wellington option which was magnificent. Absolutely faultless, staff are friendly, nothing is too much trouble. Beautiful country pub that's family friendly and also perfect for couples. We'll definitely be back to try more food and enjoy the gorgeous garden. Drivers beware, there isn't lots of parking so plan ahead and park sensibly.

10/10 Sunday roast. Beautiful crispy potatoes, fresh veg and stunning meats. I enjoyed the surroundings and found the staff very welcoming. Ohh plus they had my Bristol beer factory favourites on tap. What more can a man ask for. If only all pubs were made this way, life would be a much more pleasant experience.

Brilliant new gastropub offering great food and service, in lovely comfortable surroundings. What a find and what great addition to Chew Magna. March update: great Sunday lunch, well above average and service excellent too. Booking essential. Do try the spectacular brownies for pud, with honeycomb and orange sauce. simply gorgeous!

Great food. Lamb Kofta starter was the highlight. Steak was really good value and cooked to perfection. A good selection of beers also. Staff were great although it would be even better if they had some more knowledge about the dishes, just to help when deciding on your meals. Will definitely return for another meal.

Lovely pub to stop and have a drink and some great food really friendly staff

Thoughtful and well presented food. Incredible front of house inc Marie the manager. Lovely decor. Dog friendly. Highly recommended.

Under New management had a makeover Very tasteful done food lovely and staff very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend.

very nicely decorated, decent cider (north st) from the area I was born (bedminster) .staff were very helpfull. nice warm feeling pub .well worth a visit .I cannot comment on the food as I didn't have any

We've always liked this pub but the new owners have made it better than ever. It has been completely refurbished and has a great atmosphere. The food is excellent with a good selection.

Great food and the service was exceptional.

I understand that the pub has undergone some 'management' changes recently.... But those who are left hit all the right notes! Fabulous range of beers (sorry, didn't ask for a wine list 🙄), just the right amount of choices on the menu without getting bamboozled or cross-eyed. The food was delicious, hot and served with a smile and the beer was replenished without having to wave for a waiter or walk to the bar. The decor was beautiful and the seats comfy.... We will be back again and again!! X

Catered very well for gluten free food. Told them I was a coeliac when booking the table and they had specially marked up a menu showing what was safe and what they could adapt. Also checked a couple of things when unsure which was appreciated ('may contain' items). Will definitely return.

Friendly staff and a 2 for 1 happy hour when we were there.

Good food, friendly staff, nice decor, comfortable, nice toilets.

Excellent evening meal on a busy Saturday night. Friendly service from a young but very knowledgeable team. Despite being full, the food came at a decent pace and was top quality. The small menu has enough choice and is very well executed. Exactly what you...

Very pleasant experience refurbishment is very inviting. Staff were very helpfull and friendly. Just went for drinks and sat out in the garden which was well thought out and safe. Looked at food menu which was not extensive but interesting so will be returning soon for a meal with them. 😊

Stopped for a refreshing drink on our walk in the newly revamped garden area on a sunny day.

Even just approaching the pub is so appealing - it's so welcoming and attractive. It has a lovely pub feel but with great choices of fabulous food. Fantastic service - thank you Tom! Dog friendly - just don't try to park your campervan too near!

Lovely atmosphere. Absolutely delicious food that I can't fault and the service was attentive but relaxed. Tom & Jess were really friendly & did a great job making our night there throughly enjoyable

Great meal- nice ambiance and attentive service
