The Queens Head in Horsham

I recently visited The Queen's Head in Barns Green, and I have to say, it was one of the best roasts I've had in a long time! The portion was generous, with an abundance of perfectly cooked vegetables that really made the meal stand out. The flavors were spot on! To top it off, I indulged in the jam sponge with custard for dessert, and it was absolutely amazing. The sponge was light and fluffy, and the jam added the perfect touch of sweetness, complemented perfectly by the custard. Overall, a fantastic experience – delicious food, friendly service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Great place for lunch. Small plates available for those with smaller appetites. Good value and food. Cosy with real fires. Very friendly staff. Definitely recommend

Great traditional pub with very nice Sunday lunch and good range of Beer on tap...ideal for a circular walk in the nearby woodland.

Lovely character pub with open fire . Good quality food at reasonable prices. Very friendly staff. Will definitely return

Place is so epic a d homely it's so lovely it's kin in heartbeat and soul

Worth a visit if you like old world country pub with no bells or whistles. Best in the summer. Food ok. Recommend a visit.

We ate here on Friday 11 Oct 2024. A lovely pub with excellent staff and service but mediocre food. My chicken wing starter was probably done in the microwave as the skin was not at all crispy and the fat was still present under skin so quite unpleasant to eat. My wife had the squid which was rubbery and a small portion. I had ham and egg main, the ham was straight out of the fridge so stone cold, chips ok My wife had the pork belly main which was in fact a lump of chewy dry pork certainly not pork belly

Myself and my girlfriend stopped here for the very first time despite living in Southwater for many years. What a great little pub and absolutely alive with atmosphere. We didnt order food but how amazing that were given complimentary crispy roast potatoes at our table. Staff came over with a smile and got our drinks rather than us getting up to the bar. Willie Austin was playing and have to say was quality,well worth a listen and just added to what was a great experience. We'll be back again :0)

Lovely pub had really nice Sunday roast.

Excellent food and service, very friendly.

First time at this pub, very good , will call in again.

Lovely pub with a friendly atmosphere. The staff were helpful and the food was good.

Lovely oldy worldy pub Friendly service Huge plates of food if you have hungry peeps 😋

Didn't have food but service and atmosphere were brilliant. Great staff

Fabulous afternoon at the Queens Head Great good/service as usual and a bonus with the great Willie Austin playing Would always recommend the QHBG

Great service and very good portion sizes. Happened to book dinner on Open Mike Night and the music was an added bonus.

Nice and cosy with the log fire. Really nice atmosphere. Friendly bar staff

Thankyou for the beautiful meal on my sons 21st birthday! We all had an amazing night many thanks barry and kirsty

Lovely pub and great atmosphere

Lovely traditional Sussex country pub at the centre of a close community. Lots of low beams - at different heights, so mind your head! Nooks and different areas twisting all around, good drinks with music & other events. You'll need to drive but there are a couple of areas for parking, as well as the road.

First time going to The Queens Head for a nice dinner and will probably not order to eat there ever again to be honest. Though I will say that the starters were amazing!! Specifically the Fried squid and whitebait. The tartare sauce was delightful and really light, and the batter was crispy. Not only that, but the service was a solid 10/10. Really polite and friendly, and catered to our needs swiftly. But unfortunately I was quite disappointed with my main, King Prawn and chorizo tagliatelle with some bread. Which seemed the most appealing on the menu at first, but as it was placed on the table…. There’s just no words really, the photo speaks for itself. The pasta was overcooked by a year and the prawns were just about cooked. I know I can’t expect much from pub food but still. It also came out almost less than lukewarm, but asked to heat it up and it was alright after. (Had to have my boyfriend’s Mum’s Pepper Pot Beef heated up too, and the mashed potatoes with her dish was literally just MASHED potatoes, not as creamy and soft as you’d think. Might have actually just been instant mash now that I’m thinking about it.) Nonetheless, I still didn’t eat much of my main. Would probably be best getting the Cod, Chips and Peas, as it’s the best main I’ve seen come out. Along with the Pulled Pork burger too!

Fantastic New Years Eve spent here. Great atmosphere, great food. Thank-you so much to the owners & staff.

Don't bother eating, really poor food we should of complained really but we where with friends. Meat feast pizza with about 6 bits of meat and so much cheese to cover the fact which in turn made it soggy. Pulled pork burger with so much bbq sauce made it inedible. Mediterranean pasta with just a few olive and tomatoes which arrived about 10 minutes after everyone else's meals. Extremely disappointing as we were supposed to go back new years eve.

Lovely pub and food. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would recommend

Really great old style pub with a great atmosphere

Fantastic atmosphere music, staff and people .Great afternoon, thanks to a very good musician and singer.

Went there today for a Sunday Roast. Absolutely excellent. Good ingredients. Friendly and excellent service. Nice place to have a few pints.

Nice atmosphere on the open mic night and the food was very good and excellent value.

Lovely old pub. One large, beamed, bar. Excellent ales, menu looked good. Nice welcoming smile from the young lady behind the bar (makes such a difference when you first enter don't you think!!). Beams are low, I'm 6ft 4 but fine for normal heights 😊 One large bar, log fire, tables for dining, armchairs and sofas for relaxed drinking. So relaxing my partner felt so comfortable she suggested we have another drink. A must visit if you are in the area.

Such a welcoming place. We arrived at 3.55 for a roast, not realising the kitchen closes at 4.00. They still served us an amazing roast. Thanks chef! The live music (Will) was great. Beautiful vocals. Atmosphere was lovely, buzzing and friendly. Definitely gonna become a regular customer.

Excellent Sunday roast and good beer too, Hophead and Harvey's Best 👍

Cash value below is drink only (had a few). Don't eat in pubs, me. Punters seem to like the grub, and yeah, there's a buzz. Very local, mind. Had a couple of blinding nights there. But the other day, yeah, very bad experience with the draught Italian lager. Gonna shut up, cos I'm known. So, yeah. If you want food and English village pub stuff.

Quick divert off route from Gatwick following a Google search for dinner. Very pleased. Atmospheric old pub with decent good value food and friendly staff. A hidden gem.

Always go for beer outside in sunshine. With friends. Lovely village..and quiet. Sometimes dinner.. See

The food was awful my friend had lasagne it was just a mush no structure at all he said it was tasty enough . My fish and chips not the best ,batter was greasy and topped on the peas so all made greasy .

Great pub in a beautiful village. There's a play area for older children in the beer garden.

We were their for the annual car show nice village pub

I went to their classic car show and it was a really good day out

Very nice pub.. had a good day.

Great village pub i went for the classic car show It doesn't get much better than cars and a decent country pub

Very decent and honest food. Great service from the team who looked after our large group along with 10 children really professionally. Good selection of beer. 👍

Found by chance on a drive with my mum, lovely food, friendly staff

Such a weird experience visiting this pub for dinner this evening. Order was taken quickly and the food came out not long after but the Mini portions for kids was not mini in the slightest and one could have served 2, easily! Lasagne and chicken schnitzel were large portions but basic, even though the prices of things now are just through the roof. I don't know if our meals were worth the money we paid. The tables were really close together and because it was quite busy I felt like we were all sitting together in some kind of communal canteen...and a strangely positioned mirror meant I kept catching glances from the old man sat on the table behind me. There was a feeling of old fashioned old man pub trying to elevate itself to gastro pub... I can't pinpoint what it was, it just didn't feel quite right. Also, no takeaway boxes for the kids food so a lot of food went to waste this evening, which didn't sit right either. I've given 4 stars for service because it was so speedy and the barman was friendly and the waitress had her head screwed on right but sadly this was not a winner for me.

Great food. And big portions. Welcoming pub. Felt at home Kids and dog friendly. Garden at the front and back.. Certainly worth a visit.

Lovely food highly recommended, provided you're really hungry!!! Best to book

Great village pub, staff are really welcoming and friendly, food was really good and well priced will definitely visit again but make sure you book this place is popular

Lovely food, staff very welcoming

Best burger i've had in a while

Family mini break (all adults) in the area, recommended to us ans was not disappointed. My wife's roast dinner could have fed two.. 6 of us quite happy with the food, service and the atmosphere..

A great pub. Lovely food and good atmosphere.

Scruffy bench seat and we chose the wrong meal (sharing platter x2) but the other food looked great and plentiful.

Seems a friendly pub. Obviously popular for takeaway for local campsite.

Fun, nice drinks, friendly staff, nice decor!

Lovely local pub. Good real ales and live music

Nice pub good atmosphere but food was a bit lacklustre .

A real village pub. Unpretentious, friendly service, good tasty food.

I love this pub, the staff are always friendly, and the food is always top-notch. Whenever we are in the area, we always go in there and have never been disappointed. Keep up the great work, Ben

Came here last night for a dinner with my fiancé, the staff were lovely and very on point! We didn’t even have to wait 10 minutes for our main after starters! Food was gorgeous! Definitely recommend! And will 100% be visiting again soon! Many thanks to all the staff and chef for a wonderful night!

One of the nicest pubs I’ve been to, staff go out if there way to help and are really friendly. food is excellent and if staying at Sumners ponds you get a really lovely welcome even if your not a local…well worth a visit

Friendly service, beautiful pub with a nice atmosphere but the food was really awful which is a great shame. I’m not sure the chef knows his own menu as the fish pie was incredibly dry (basically a pie dish full of dry mashed potato) and was served with hard peas rather than the advertised mange tout, the prawn and chorizo pasta in a tomato sauce actually had no sauce, the pepperoni on the pizza was the most synthetic kind of pepperoni you could buy and the cold meat starter was served with crackers? All very lazy. We were polite when asked how our starters were hoping that the mains would be an improvement, but the fish pie was so bad that I did tell the waitress that it was incredibly dry and although she was very friendly I presume the chef wasn’t bothered as there was no further feed back. Probably best to stick with a pint and a packet of peanuts.

Great food, great drinks on offer. Would definitely return.

Nice friendly old pub, quite busy for a Saturday afternoon. Had a nice pint of Harveys with my wife after a nice dog walk.

Lovely country pub. Roaring fire, friendly staff and a good pint 👌

Lovely old feel pub but watch your head on the low beams and be aware that there is no mobile signal in the area

Lovely local pub. Friendly atmosphere and lovely food and drink. Also dog friendly.

Typical homely village pub, good menu and beers

Great local pub with friendly service and a great atmosphere 👍

Lovely atmosphere, good food and friendly staff. Will visit again. We went for lunch here. 😊

Booked on line very last minute and had a lovely meal. Everyone that worked there , and the locals that didn’t couldn’t be more friendlier. Food very reasonable, and lovely, so nice to not be hurried and just relax and eat and have a drink. Proper pub 👍🏻

Beautiful setting and wonderful food. Great value. Perfect. We will definitely be back

Good village pub but stop serving food by 7.30pm. Great music Amd friendly people

Very nice meal again. Had really good musician playing which was a bonus

Fantastic food great atmosphere very impressed we will be back.

A friendly welcoming traditional pub ! Lovely.

Polite staff and friendly atmosphere

Nice little pub good beer. Car show had a good turn out about 300 cars on show.

Nice pub but don't have the roast beef Only ate there once Nice pub for a drink

Really lovely country pub with friendly staff. Nice beer garden at the back. I don't eat here as previously my Husband got an almost raw burger and people at the next table complained too as their pie was all gristle and no meat. Our friends went for a meal there recently and also got served a very undercooked burger too. I wouldn't order anything more than chips !! It's such a shame as it's a lovely pub.

Called in for lunch half way through a walk. Lovely pub and delightful girls serving at the bar. Chose from a large selection Lunch menu. Very good food. Sad that there were very few customers there to appreciate it, but that's just a sign of the times at present. Hopefully things will pick up eventually before these country pubs go out of business!!

What a wonderful little pub! Within close proximity of Sumners Pond, The Queen's Head is the perfect little pub to visit while staying. It wasn't particularly busy when I visited but I could imagine it becoming quite cramped inside on a busy evening so having plenty of seating outside is a good thing. They have a good selection of beers, although I must admit that they were quite warm. It wasn't great because it was a particularly hot day so I was looking for a very chilled pint of beer. However, this didn't spoil the visit but possibly something to look at in the future.

Nice country pub with appropriately good food. Attentive service too

Excellent, went on curry night, very good, recommended, and dog friendly 👍

Good beer.... and entertainment!

Always nice staff but on this occasion the quality of the food fell short of the price for the area. However, its a local pub for locals not really for those of us camping locally.

Visited here while staying at Sumners Park. 10 min walk from the site. What a find! Brilliant pub, staff and food. Will be revisiting as we only live half an hours drive away. There seems to be a lot of things being arranged for customers.

Had such a nice meal on Friday evening, size of the plates were massive. Great value. Friendly staff couldn’t of done more. Great team work will defo be going back.

Very nice didn't eat there fully booked very friendly staff

Went a Friday night table booked for 7.30 food arrived 9.15 3 meals ok 1 uneatable waitress laughed when told manager bought Bill and was also told meal not good said sorry took payment then offered free drink as we were leaving would not recommend this pub as nearly 2 hour wait with no explanation and food uneatable

Nice atmosphere. Covid safe. Well kept ales.

I would recommend a visit to The Queens Head in Barns Green. The staff/service was excellent and the food was the same. There were 7 of us and 2 of our party needed plenty of room as difficulty walking, I had requested a table to accommodate them and this was done. Go and see for yourselves!! Thanks everyone at the pub.

Had Mother's Day lunch today for my Mum, brother and daughter. Was fabulous. Really lovely ham hock terrine which was complimented with the pickled salad and very tasty, followed by a great roast beef dinner. The beef portion were generous and thick and made a real change to have a good portion of meat from other roasts I have had elsewhere. The final course sticky toffee pudding with ice cream was the icing on the cake. Would thoroughly recommend.

Short staffed on the day I went. Watch you head on the way in as it has a low doorway!

Great food lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff. Lovely little pub

I perform there every other week for open mic nights. Lovely staff and great family pub.

Lovely old low-ceilinged, beamed traditional pub, with a cozy atmosphere. There was a great female duo singing live when we were there. Recommended.

Entertainment was brilliant. Food very good and the locals great too.

Friendly and old, walker's welcome.

The food was top notch. Service was first class. I would definitely return.

Had a Sunday lunch there about 3 weeks ago. Truly delicous!! Roast beef, huge Yorkshire pudding and all the trimmings. Sitting in front of the fire, glass of wine, food and friends! Mmmm.

First time there with friends last Sunday, we're still talking about it and can't wait to go back in a couple of weeks!! Roast beef lunch was outstanding!! Attentive, friendly waitress's, super quick service, plenty of pooches welcome and a crackling inglenook fireplace. Well worth the drive from Boxhill, Dorking, this place is our new payday treat!! 😀
