The Queen's Head in Chelmsford

Lovely pub, very popular with locals, but treats visitors warmly. Good fire place too

Very quiet pub with a subdued atmosphere but the beer is excellent. I had the Crouch Vale Anchor Street Porter which was very tasty. Pleasant enough pub to visit but the serving staff were more on the business-like side rather than the conversational side. Handy place to go for a pint if you are at the County Ground for Essex cricket but note that no food is served.

Usually pretty much like a graveyard with a limited selection on. BUT beer is always very good and a nice layout and fire inside. Good if you want a quiet one

Nice quiet pub. With original features

Very quiet when we visited, but the Porter was excellent

Decent old-school pub. Very good value for money.

Lovely old pub, hosting a weekly folk jam on Tuesdays.

Deceptively big on the inside . Looking from outside you would expect it to be cramped, but there is a large conservatory on the back . Nice log fire going on our visit, not very busy and only one hand pull on ! .Think they had some others, probably craft. These were advertised on boards on the wall .Staff were welcoming and would happily revisit the pub.

The pub has excellent real ales, however, there's no ambiance or character to the place and definitely needs a refurb. The manager is somewhat to be desired, at best he's grumpy and at worst he's just rude and offensive. Other members of staff aren't that much better. If you want a decent ale in a decent real ale pub give Queens Head a miss and try The Orange Tree which is a 45 second walk away. It explains why Queens head is like graveyard most nights, Crouch Vale Brewery time you got yourself a new pub manager.

Nice pub 4 crouch Vale beers on unfortunately just the landlord his mate myself and a bored lad serving

Loverly little pub 5 minutes walk from County ground plenty of seating

Proper old style pub, good range of well kept ales, plenty of seating, beware of the late opening times, 5pm.

Not been in for a few years - good to see the place is still alive and well.

Friendly backstreet local sadly not as well supported as it deserves, Crouch Vale beers available plus occasional guests

Fast service and friendly staff,lovely beers

Vey welcoming, lovely lady behind the jump and good beer, will def go in there again

Quiet pub selling Crouch Vale Ales at reasonable prices.Some large tables for groups greater than 6 when allowed. Several small tables in cosy corners.Sun trap patio garden. No cooked food but various snacks and nibbles on offer.

Friendly and relaxed old school pub environment. It is a quiet pub so great for groups of friends for catch up talks. They sell a variety of well kept ales including Brewers Gold and Yakima Gold. They sell a large variety of pub snacks with at least 9 different flavours of crisps, twiglets, mini cheddars, pork scratchings, various nut snacks and even some kind of dried beef snack. There is a large car park to the rear of the pub also.

A good pub, with ample parking and a beer garden. Good selection of real ales, and a quick hot lunches are available.

Great pub more than that it serves great stakes and other food

a good selec6 of beers and ales. this pub is situated in a area of Victorian housing. I was meeting with friends and the lack of other customers was not a problem. spacious car park.

Used to be a good pub, but now looking a bit scruffy and jaded. The saving grace is the usual excellent range of real ales that are well kept.

Good old fashioned pub with a great selection of real ales 🍺

Good pub the shame is I was driving so a pint of coke zero as drive don't drink

Dirty toilets as usual 5 people in pup manager needs to improve his attitude to get his regular customer's back

Been drinking here for 11 years plus always found the pub very welcoming with some great locals to share a few pints with with added bonus of the dogs are aloud in too .

Good pub to go to when going to Essex cricket It's close to the ground, staff are friendly and has a reasonable selection of real ales. For cricket fans there is a lot of cricket memorabilia on the walls.

Decent Crouch Vale ales. Handy for lunch time pint at the cricket.

Classic neighbourhood pub with great selection of ales. Very cosy

Lovely homely locals pub. Been there a few times now and always made very welcome. Very good selection of well kept beers. A hidden gem.

Excellent real ales back in GBG

Great pub with pleasant atmosphere. Landlord looks after the beers really well and is a member of cambra

Pub with limited draft beer cider options but with about 6 hand pumped ales. Dart board, fireplace, dogs and large tables. Traditional style pub.

The start of the cricket season and a welcome return to the Queens Head. The Essex Boy's bitter is as excellent as ever and the landlord as affable too.

Arrogant landlord...beers are great if on form but this is rare.. I rarely go.

Popped in here while waiting for the Queen's legs to open.

I live near this place and always up 2 like 10:00 at night so it would be nice to shut earlier

Excellent beers from Crouch Vale brewery

Great pre cricket pub! Friendly & top beer selection.

I hired this pub for the wake of my mother, I requested for the food buffet to be laid out for when we got there at 2 '0' clock, I asked the landlord where the food was on arrival at 2:30 and was rudely told we'll have to wait til he's ready! I paid £175 for the buffet and was disappointed when we were served Icelands frozen food. I also had put £100 behind the bar to get my guests their first drink, my niece over heard the staff saying that I could have put a bit more. I didn't have a lot of money to bury my mother and did the best I could with what money I had, a few members of my family mentioned being spoken to quite rudely by staff, I'm very upset by how myself and my family who had flown from Ireland were spoken to at such a sad time. The landlord is an arrogant arsehole and it's no wonder he never has any customers!! The pig!!

Great local. Beers are always brilliant and change frequently. They allow dogs in which is great and a real fire for those long winter nights

Excellent, relaxed, great selection of drinks and friendly. I'd go back regularly if I lived locally. Worth dropping in.
