The Queens Head in West Somerset

Great pub. Warm & inviting with good food beer & service

Our son was discriminated and food was disgusting the potatoes were like plastic I rang up and then the woman violently told me to shut up and stop prank calling them and hung up. AVOID AND ITS WASTE OF MONEY

Disappointing visit to Queens's Head Saturday 1st March. I had previously visited the bar and discussed my daughter's Hen Party for 1st March on two occasions. Initially to discuss numbers and seating arrangements, a second visit was to confirm a party for 12 and it was agreed a table would be reserved in the raised area of the bar for 8pm. I left my mobile number in case contact was needed. We arrived on time, I went up to the bar to advise we had arrived and to say unfortunately two 'Hens' were unable to attend. I enquired if we order at the bar and advised to do so. Imagine my surprise and disappointment to discover there was no table reserved. We managed to drag a couple of tables together then chose our food. Returning to the bar I was asked to move to another till to order, no problem to my disappointment I was told by another staff member the kitchen was closed!!! This booking was made a few weeks ago & confirmed last week. I discussed with the new owner our disappointment I had 10 'Hens' that needed feeding!! The new owner advised me they were just back from holiday, and didn't recognise who the member of staff was that took the booking, acknowledging it was in the diary. We were then told they would re-open the kitchen, we decided however The Queens Head did not deserve our custom or our money & I understand this is not the first time the kitchen had been closed early leaving disappointed guests. We left the pub, walked 50yds to the Chinese Restaurant who welcomed us, had a great evening with good food and atmosphere. Point to note all the 'Hens' are local potential clients, a disappointing experience, we will not be returning.

We booked a table for 12. went in to the premises to confirm a couple of days before. when we got there, there was no table reserved, which wasn't an issue as there were plenty available. We went up to the bar to order food to be told by the owner the kitchen was closed!! They had seen the booking in the diary, but because they didn't recognise the handwriting they dissmissed it!! Very bizzarre!!

Shocking avoide, been twice once 2 of the burgers were not cooked. Second told to wait 20 mins for food then after 20 Mins told they went doing food anymore. Avoid at all costs

Brilliant transformation. Staff excellent. Mouldy bread served with all day breakfast. Offered a free drink or pudding.

Waited 5 mins at the bar and nobody came and served us so walked back out

Went there before it was revamped and it was ok. However now it looks great, brilliant decor and great atmosphere. Food was great value and drink prices were excellent. Has sky sports and darts boards and pool table. Recommended highly

Unbelievable transformation since reopen. Quality furnishings, knowledgeable and friendly staff and service. Just love it. One thought...I smoke and outside the front door there are no ashtrays...the flower beds and road are covered in cigarette ends....let's see a couple of ashtrays...please

Went in around 2.00pm today what a lovely welcoming clean and friendly venue good food choice of drinks very reasonable ie carlsberg 2.70 pint plus other choices staff was amazing plenty of special offers to 10/10 see you soon Steve Cardiff..

Just need to leave a review for the team and the amazing service since the Queens Head has been reopened. The pub has a great atmosphere and something for everyone here. It has multiple screens for showing sport but different areas to suit those who do not wish to see tv. The Sunday roast is superb and plenty of food and cooked to perfection. I was asked if everything is ok giving a personal touch to the experience. The Sunday roast is £12.95 with a pint, exceptional value on a Sunday. I’ve also eaten other times and food is always fantastic. The pub is clean and tidy and the staff are all lovely. The bar is very reasonably priced and I have not had a bad drink here yet. This is a must goto for Minehead visitors or locals, give it a go you won’t be disappointed. Massive thank you to Simon and the team for supplying us a fantastic dog friendly pub in Minehead.

Warm and friendly pub. Great food, fab prices and good service. We will be back 😀

Food was absolutely stunning would highly recommend and definitely come back

Absolutely awful never again would sooner have a microwave meal

Great family pub my A$$! Denied access to a child because apparently pre-teens can’t have fun and do karaoke!!! Absolutely disgusting! Would give -5* if possible from preselect options

Quiet when we went in (8 ish on a Friday evening), only one ale on tap - and turned out that tap was broken Staff were friendly and chatty

Beautiful lunch, food was amazing, the roast beef was outstanding, melted in your mouth, would recommend the carvery

Visited for a carvery today and enjoyed a lovely meal. Staff are friendly and the pub has a pleasant atmosphere.

Long wait for a drink it's a large bar but only served 1 side? Hence queuing. Barman moaning to a local about too many tourists turning up at once? How bizarre

Booked for 12.00 on arrival was not told where to go, on queuing for the carvery the food looked ok, sadly we left without eating it, the roast potatoes were warm up with black pepper all over them horrible taste, veg frozen chef used same knife to cut the pork as well as the beef he was not happy when I asked him to use new knife, already paid prior to getting food staffs attitude not nice at all, on leaving the waitress flew to our table slamming and banging our plates on top of each other don’t know why, they got their money it cost me £80 for 6 of us which is a lot if it’s not nice to the extent having to leave it, a lesson learnt

Best carvery we ever had! Tender juicy meat, perfect roasties and the gravy exceptional. Recommended to book as its popular.

Booked the carvery late when staying at Butlins. A Google search found the pub offered a carvery. We called and booked for 8 people. When we arrived there a big queue for the carvery, but we took this as a good thing. 3 meats on offer, plus plenty of veg, gravy and added condiments. Food was 10/10 and we finished with 8 empty plates. Service was fantastic too. I definitely recommend!

Lovely little pub, with friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. We went as a family of 5 on Sunday for a carvey and the food was delicious. Thank you

Booked for the carvery due to reviews and was not disappointed. It was excellent, choice of two meats, all the veg and accompaniments were great. Lovely.

This is normally the best sunday lunch in Minehead. But the last time it was not so great. We were met by a lady, clipboard in hand asking if we had booked for the carvery (no time to order a drink beforehand). Anyway we had booked and were allowed to go to the bar where our friends awaited us. To the meal, the meat was cooked well as always, but shock horror no roast potatoes left. Well out came a bowl swimming in oil with deep fried potatoes in, which marred the experience somewhat. But treated this as a one off as I said earlier this offers the best sunday lunch in Minehead.

Fairly easy to get to at the top end of town down the side street by "Costa" if you are new to the area. This is popular with visitors to "Butlins" on a Sunday afternoon as it is a 30 minute walk which takes you through the town. We called in for a carvery meal costing £13.95 which comprised just the main meal from which you could choose roast beef, pork or turkey with all the usual trimmings. Dessert is extra but nobody opted for that as we were all full. The vegetables kept coming from the kitchen as they were being taken from the serving trolley. My impression is that the Sunday carvery lunch is one of their best sellers with pool tables and dart boards to entertain you after the meal.

Great to visit on holiday..barman great with info. Chinese restaruant next door superb.

Great pub home of the town hobby horse

Just had a wonderful roast dinner. Absolutely lovely and Jam Roly poly for afters Would highly recommend this pub we have been a few times and always very good food

I was looking forward to treating my friends last Friday as Ive eaten here lots and struggled to chose a dish due to the deliciousness. Sitting quite smug imagine my horror when our meals came. My belly pork was tough as old boots with floppy crackling, lees fagotts were mediocre served with still frozen peas whilst Rhys's coleslaw just turned his tummy. Obviously change of chefs and managemenr. We voiced our feedback and they took on board. We left not wanting deserts and paid in full....just disappointed I gues it can only get better

Absolutely stunning roast dinner

A little gem of a place lovely food and people

Absolutely great Sunday carvery. 👍 we will be back.

I had the Sunday roast. Friends had hoped to join myself and a friend, but they stopped serving food just after 2pm, which was disappointing.

The Queens Head does not serve food all the time but the Thai food is amazing and so is Sunday dinner absolutely lovely food.

Absolutely beautiful Sunday lunch, thank you. Staff were amazing, too

Not busy early, perhaps it gets livelier later. Beer was ok, not much of a range of real ale though

Went here for a carvery without booking. Very busy place and people usually have to book as it's popular. Didn't take too long to pay and get carvery. I think there was a choice of four meats (beef, pork, turkey and can't remember the last meat). A small selection of veg and Yorkshire pudding. The gravy was nice and thick. I enjoyed my dinner but my wife's turkey was grissly which was disappointing other than that everything was good. There is an area for playing darts and snooker with music playing which was on the loud side but I would definitely go back again.

We have coming here while at Butlins for food for 10 years. Always found the food delicious. On this occasion we ordered a red Thai curry and a Green Thai Curry which on previous times was absolutely delicious. This time however was not very nice at all. No flavour of Thai , the green curry was a very strange colour and to be honest if we had been blindfolded we would never have know it was a Thai meal. I’m assuming it was a different chef . The pub itself is very nice so it’s a shame the food wasn’t up to scratch this time. I can’t comment on the other items on the menu though.

It's a shame the range of real ales is reduced 8 pumps but just 1 beer on

Nice pub... Had a couple late afternoon.. So quiet... Would visit again

Lovely traditional pub, great beer, friendly staff and great food

As Americans, we were told we needed to try a proper Sunday Roast in Britain. The Queen's Head certainly delivered! Fantastic meats, great side dishes, and the best horseradish we've tasted!

Only open Friday to Sunday, which is a shame. A pub with a ‘locals’ feel… including a pool table, darts and juke box… which you don’t find enough of these days. We stopped here for a drink and sat in the outside area. We felt very welcome.

Lovely pub Great Thai food Lovely landlord he made us very welcome

Visited here for lunch, pub not too busy but had to wait a long time for the food. The lady behind the bar was not particularly welcoming and we felt it was an inconvenience ordering food. When the food did arrive the scampi was over cooked and burnt and one plate was missing the peas and we had no tartar sauce. We didn't want to send it back as we were all so hungry from waiting. Maybe just an off day but will probably try another pub on our next visit.

Queens Head excellent meals, service, staff communicates well, friendly and polite. place to eat. Food very delicious. I highly recommend the Queens Head pub.

Good food very polite and a very old fashioned pub

We visited The Queens Head on a Saturday evening in May as we liked the sound of the Thai menu outside. Inside the place was dingy and almost deserted but we chose a table in a window where there was a bit of light and ordered two Thai green curries. We were very disappointed when they arrived as the curries looked greyish green and were very watery and the rice was compacted into a dry, tough mound. When we tried the curry we discovered that it was extremely hot with no discernible Thai flavours and consisted of almost entirely of potato, carrot and cauliflower which had been cooked so long that they turned to mush as we tried to eat.

Enjoyed a carvery here, plentiful and tasty. A good selection of beers available. Will definitely revisit when next in the area.

Great pub. Brilliant atmosphere

4 of us went for a carvery Sunday around 2pm. Felt very welcome by the bar staff, a family friendly feel to the pub. The carvery was 10/10! The food was great, crispy roast potatoes, perfectly cooked two meats, and most importantly, the gravy was thick and full of flavour, which is rare in Somerset. Already looking forward to our next visit.

Found this pub whilst walking through the top of the town. Just down a side street, we wandered in and got a lovely welcome from the owner and bar staff. Booked for a Sunday carvery, and it was very nice indeed. Hot and a nice choice of veg and meat. Very welcoming and would return if in the area. Dog friendly too. A clean and welcoming pub.

across this pub whilst walking through the top end of town, down a side street. Very welcoming feeling from the owner and bar staff. Booked for the Sunday carvery whilst there and it was beautiful. Dog friendly too. Would definitely return if in the area.

Beautiful pub. Not a big fan of carvery but this was very good. Fresh food piping hit as well.

Good night. Staff very pleasant. Nice atmosphere

Lights on, door open with locals at the bar with drink in hand. Previously allowed to take my dog in the pub with no questions asked but tonight the owner mad it VERY clear with no apology that we weren't allowed in as they had suddenly closed and dog wasn't welcome at 21.16 with clear opening hours until 22.00. Found it very rude with no welcome and locals laughing. Wouldn't recommend that start to anyone

We have been going yo Minehead over 30 years and some how me missed this gem. Warm friendly welcome, Sunday carvery was best I've had in a very long time all cooked perfectly...was so yummy especially the parsnips. There were 18 of us in their back games room all afternoon and would happily of stayed there all evening if they hadn't of closed at 4.30pm. Maria and Lorraine were great, unfortunately we didn't get the other staff members names but they were too! We will be back for sure great food great staff great pub

Big pub with friendly bar girl, but only one real ale on.

Drinks but more expensive than the rest of town but great little place

Tasty carvery lunch, fair value for money, food was not quite as hot as I would have liked but owner apologised and invited us to have replacement food

Used to be the best real ale pub in Minehead, now down to a single pump. Generally a run of the mill pub with reasonably priced food.

Tucked away down a side street, we came across it by luck; so glad we did. Nice atmosphere, staff and food, especially the dirty fries!

The fish was frozen and still wet in the middle. The spring rolls were from Iceland and the sweet and sour chicken was appealing. My advice just have a drink.

Only one draught beer, Exmoor Gold, but in nice condition. Also a nice Thai Green Curry.

Called in on a Sunday on our day out looking for a Carvery, the pub was busy, A few TV screen on with sport on. Pool table and Dart boards. I must say staff and other customers in there was very friendly, Roast dinner LOVELY and a good price, we will be returning 👍

Nice simple local pub. Great staff. Pool tables and darts. Live bands. Would return and recommend.

Stayed the weekend at Butlins, Minehead and found this lovely little pub in the town. We had a lovely Sunday Roast (carvery) and our little ones really enjoyed too! Highly recommend :)

Good pub. Had another good night here on visit to Minehead

Amazing dinner absolutely gorgeous 😍

The Queen's Head is a gem. Fabulous friendly staff and you are made to feel so welcome. The food is fabulous especially the Sunday Roast but you need to book as it's a favourite with the locals and visitors alike. If you ever visit Minehead then The Queens is definitely worth trying.

Fantastic service and carvery is the best. Highly recommend

Fish and chips with all the trimmings for under a tenner. Good friendly service too. The only gripe was the cheesy radio station playing on, but when there's good food and a couple of pints of Exmoor Gold I won't complain.

Came in today with friends after another pub had a stopped serving Carvery. It’s off from the main road so didn’t know it was there until we googled Carvery and it came up. Really friendly staff, very welcoming and the Carvery was lovely. Generous meat portions and the beef was delicious, gravy was nice and thick too. Would definitely recommend 👍🏼

Very friendly, good food, clean warm welcoming would return when next on the area

Visiting from Barry brilliant atmosphere staff really friendly had a great night listening to the live band. Thank you.

Nice place friendly staff but poor quality beer ?

We popped into the pub between four thirty and five pm and were told that they were closing. The sign on the door said that they were open until sixr. Most odd.

Staffs nice roast ml are very reasonably cheap£9 a head booze and it's in Minehead book ahead

The Chef John, Paul and Sue were very welcoming, the carvery was delicious, great portion sizes and good prices

Good pub in Minehead Town, the staff are friendly and make you welcome, good selection on the menu, the food is excellent, there is live music on most Saturdays, would recommend a visit to this lovely pub. 10/10

Just popped in for a drink and meet my granddaughter,friendly staff,very busy with Sunday lunch.

Lovely pub just of high street, went for the carvery on Sunday all food freshly made (no frozen veg etc). Pub is small compared to others so would recommend booking a table to eat. Staff friendly and helpful, good size portions of food.

Great food and great beer. I always do like a nice badger ale.

What a lovely family pub. So friendly and the best roast I’ve had in ages. Utterly delicious traditional roast with all the trimmings. Would highly recommend.

I was in Minehead on a Day Trip And found this pub by Chance thank goodness I did The Sunday Carvery Beef Dinner I had had was Awesome. I received polite and curtious Service Thank you so very Much 💯%

Nice pub woman behind the bar friendly and nice drinks and pool tables. Lots of seats and the toilets are spotlessly clean and would go back in. 👍🥂

Called there for Sunday lunch, excellent, would recommend

The best sunday din ve had had in a long time' friendly people' good quality' reasonable price's down from wales on hols in butlins' defo come here again

Great place to be, karaoke on Fridays, lovely friendly people, nice food too xxxx

We were made to feel very welcome upon our visit..The carvery is highly recommended and worth the money. Good portion of meat and nice vegetables. The gravy was so tasty. Reminded us all of the gravy our nans used to make. Forget Bisto this is the Bees knees of gravy. Nothing over salted, which happens to often. Would most definitely return. Thank you for your hospitality and welcome.

I don't go out much, I lose things! I've twice been here, twice had a blast, twice lost something and presumed it gone forever, but twice got it back. Top boozer.

Lovely traditional pub, including bar billiards, with a good size dining area. Enjoyed a really good beef curry, tender meat with not a trace of fat or gristle for under £10, shall definitely eat here again on next visit to Minehead. Not forgetting the very hospitable staff.

Nothing was to much trouble, all tables had reserved on them, but they still let us dine there. Food was spot on, service was excellent would recommend this lovely pub.

Nice pub...beautiful carvery! Would highly recommend.

Friendly staff, goods beers and ciders and a tasty carvery.

All 15 of us went Sunday. One of the best Sunday lunch in a very long time and excellent staff Thank you

Dj's where very friendly but didn't enjoy it here, it was full of mostly young people in there 20s so if your looking for an allrounder this wouldn't be for you

Great pub ..... Good staff.....really enjoyed
