My family and I had the most delicious Sunday Roast yesterday at The Queens in West Bergholt (not our first time). Yesterday we had a party of 8 but other times more. The staff are friendly, efficient and knowledgeable of the menus, regularly coming back to our table ensuring we had everything we wanted and taking numerous drinks orders. We ordered The Queens Head sharing roast which was both excellent for its flavour and fresh ingredients. All food came out at the same time (as requested) and was served hot. Without a doubt the best Sunday roast ever, which is why we have and will continue to enjoy our family meals at The Queens Head. Also, big up to the chef and the waitresses.

This pub is a shambles. The atmosphere and vibe was very off and did not feel welcomed at all. I over heard what I presumed was the manager or the owner swearing in ear shot of my kids. I certainly do not recommend going here for a drink or food for that matter if your after a family friendly pub.

My daughter had her baby shower at the Queens Head West Bergholt and I can’t recommend this place enough! They have a separate room which you can decorate, which has access to outdoor space if needed, the room has its own area to order drinks instead of having to go into the pub area. The Staff are brilliant nothing is too much trouble and they will accommodate different things you might require, along with being friendly there service was bang on and 25 meals were delivered all together. The meals are second to none with large portions and fresh ingredients and the price is so good! We paid £25 a head for a 3 course meal and there were so many compliments from everyone I wouldn’t hesitate to come here again a real hidden gem.

We ate in the conservatory. Lovely lady served us. We chose from the 747 menu. Smaller meals but very tasty. Dessert menu looked good but we managed to resist. We asked for a glass of water and were provided with a jug.

We took some friends here for a meal and drinks. The food was very nice and tasty. The service was reasonable. We were sat in a booth in a large room and it was very noisy, to the point where we could hardly hear each other speak. Very little parking. Shame....

Trying to explore more pubs in the Colchester area and this Sunday we were really wanted a roast. The Queen's head was friendly and didn't disappoint. We picked the sharer roast for 2 with chicken pork and beef and they were all really well cooked. There was enough meat and veg for atleast 3 hungry people. Yorkshires were big and crispy. Definitely on our list of pubs to return to as lots on the menu and we were too full to try deserts.

We came here for an early Christmas "work do" on a Wednesday lunch time. We were a large group (hence we had pre-ordered our meals) and we were really impressed by the quality of the food and the service. The staff were so kind and helpful. The food far exceeded my expectations - I had sea bass followed by pear frangipane tart. Absolutely delicious! Thank you to all the staff who worked so hard on the day, especially to Katherine who was serving at the bar (sorry if I have spelled your name wrong!)

We held a party here on Saturday night and the staff could not have been more accommodating for us. The space was beautiful and we even had part of the garden sectioned off. The pub itself is lovely, clean and spacious and my family and friends had the best time. I would highly recommend for any event. My daughters also ate there whilst they were decorating and she said it was the best ham, egg and chips she had ever had. They did a really lovely “buffet” type food for us in the evening which everyone complimented. Thank you so much, you made the evening amazing!

I have eaten at The Queens Head several times, the food and pub is lovely. I wanted to give 5 stars because of that and, when I popped in last week during a 8 mile walk, I went to buy a bottle of water and the barman said don't worry and filled my bottle up for free. Little things but that makes the difference, thank you.

Disgusting customer service and we sent both our meals back. One which they refused to take off our bill dispite the fact I couldnt eat it. The chips were dripping in grease and the table, menu and glasses on the table were all dirty. The chef came out once we had complained about our food and stood in the restaurant being very argumentative and sarcastic. I was complaining about food I couldnt eat and the disrespect I got from that left me feeling very stressed and upset. She could clearly see I am heavily pregnant and she continued to come at me and be extremely rude raising her voice and flapping her hands around. Apparently according to them the customer isn't always right. Worst experience I have ever had dining out in a pub and would never return.

Good service and good food. Excellent out door seating area. We enjoyed starters, which were surprisingly large. Mains were also well sized. The chicken in both the Hunter's Chicken and on the chicken burger, were full sized breasts. We were stuffed (in fact, neither of us could finish, which was unusual). Only quibble, is that their knives need to be sharper, as cutting through the meat was quite difficult. Good variety on the menu and would visit again.

Lovely calming atmosphere in the conservatory part and very bright and airy which was lovely. The garden is lovely and very comfortable and love the fire pits in the tables, nice touch. Food I had was really nice and very filling so no room for pudding even though I don't have a bit appetite anyway. Was made to feel welcome and they were understanding as I can't wear a mask due to health issues. Bit pricey for what we had as one of us only had chips but was a special occasion so was fine occasionally. Would definitely go back.

Friday lunchtime, only 4 tables occupied - service was terrible, classic 'serving the locals first' and ignoring the other paying customers. Food took ages to come out, yet others who arrived a good 15 mins after us, got their food 15 mins before us. Felt very unwelcome... oh and the 'locals' are allowed to walk around to the toilets WITHOUT masks unchallanged during COVID restrictions. Food was pretty average too. Wont be going back here in a hurry...

Delicious food, lots of options and reasonably priced. Had the hash stack which was yummy and apparently the scrambled egg was the best my aunt had ever had! Thank you. Great for milk allergies too as most items are vegan.
