The Queens Head in Bradford

Been hearing and seeing the food for far to long and wasn’t disappointed. Fabulous portions, fabulous fresh food, Yorkshire puddings like you only see on the telly. Congratulations to Simon, the chef and his staff. If there’s a better Sunday dinner locally or in the region, I’d like to go. Food at the right price and lovely mixed atmosphere of drinkers and dinners. Open fire roaring away. ….. is it Sunday yet.

Friendly bar person. Always warm (maybe too warm. Bring layers). Good beer.

The Queens Head is exceptional! The menu is excellent, traditional, rustic food that hits the spot. I had chicken and ham pie and I couldn’t fault it! The vegetables were cooked perfectly and the presentation was done with such care and attention to detail. The staff were lovely and looked after us very well indeed. Can’t recommend our lovely village pub enough, oh and the atmosphere was buzzing!

Once again the food and service were stunning. The quality of the food and the cooking takes some beating. The only possible complaint could be that the portions are too generous but who could complain about that!!

Regular visitor, good beer and wine selection helpful friendly service, we had a good meal in a relaxed atmosphere.

Went for Sunday lunch & could not fault anything. Good food, service & prices

Wowsers one heck of a Sunday lunch First time visiting the Queens Head for Sunday lunch and it was just wonderful. Absolutely top quality, the roast beef was so tender, a generous side of cauliflower cheese to die for and a top Yorkshire pudding accompanied with seasonal veg and all having immense flavour. If you love your Sunday lunch you’re in for a treat. Definitely leave room for a pudding too they were very yummy. The best Sunday lunch in town by far can’t wait to visit again soon.

What a find, had the best Sunday Lunch I think I have ever had today!! Big portions, wonderful rare roast beef. Plus very child and dog friendly. Will definitely be going back again soon - heard there is a new menu soon.

Met some friends for Sunday lunch and we were all pleasantly surprised. None of the other diners had been before but I’d been a year or so ago and found the food average at best. They have a new Head Chef there and she has done a wonderful job with the menu. It’s affordable too, I think it was £18.50 for a Belly Pork Sunday Roast which includes cauliflower cheese - other places we visit charge extra for this. A good all rounder which we’ll be visiting again soon 👍🏼

I heard great things about The Queens Head, particularly for their roast dinner - it certainly did not disappoint. We were really well looked after (even after turning up 30 mins late for our table - so sorry again about that!) and the table that my friend and I were sat at was great too. I ordered the pork roast & my pal ordered the S&P squid followed by the roast beef - we both walked away very full & saying the same thing - that was possibly the best roast dinner we have eaten out! The portion sizes were ample, everything seasoned perfectly and great flavours with each element. I mentioned when I booked the table that I was Gluten Free - the Yorkshire pudding and cauli cheese was amended accordingly which was a lovely surprise as you usually just dont get them on your plate at all - so thank you very much for that! All in all a great roast & will 100% be returning.

Absolutely delicious Sunday lunch in a calm and friendly environment with lovely staff. Quite frankly one of the best Sunday roasts we’ve ever had. Between 10 of us we had each of the meat options and all were really impressed alongside all the veg being perfectly cooked and plenty of veg and extra gravy.

Steak was perfectly cooked. Nice fries. Brownie was fab too. Lovely staff. Good wine selection. Nice interior. Will be back.

Excellent meal at the Queen’s Head this evening. Believe it’s a new chef - sea bass was absolutely delicious and my husband said his burger was one of the best he’s had in a long while. Really recommend you try.

We love the Sunday roast at The Queens. It’s a lovely place, brilliant service and absolutely delicious food cooked by a chef who has skill. We love the beef and all of the accompaniments washed down with some lovely red. The desserts are excellent too.

I love this pub - great atmosphere, good food and a range of beers but why are the portions of the vegetarian dishes so, so small? People who were eating meat had a decent plate of food, which looked good and filled a hole. I had a veggie pasta dish and I had five pieces of pasta. It was tasty but was more like a starter. I went home hungry. Disappointed given the great service this pub usually gives.

Great tasting food, excellent service and reasonably priced, second time for a meal and not disappointed.Dog friendly as well.

Visited on a lovely sunny day staff were super friendly really friendly we ate on the pub and food was good quality and the pudding was yummy 😋

Best Sunday lunch I’ve had in years, all home made, great service, reasonable price, not just a standard lunch, everything had extra flavour

Starters and mains were all absolutely superb. Beef spring roll. Mozzarella and tomato with salad. Sunday roast, sirloin of beef. Roast salmon, potatoes and veg. Trio of ice cream. Drinks from the bar. Very reasonably priced for the portion and quality. Staff were attentive and polite. Atmosphere was pleasant and calm. Dogs welcome. Followed by a local walk. Perfect Sunday afternoon.

Had the Sunday beef roast and Salmon dishes.Both were deliciously tasty. Pub has a good vibe to it and the young staff were really friendly and prompt.Dog friendly, so the best of both worlds. Will come again soon

The best Sunday roast ever! Just delicious. Great value for money and awesome for kids too. Go visit!

We Sunday dinner here after a good walk on Ilkley Moor.. perfect place to rest and relax The Sunday roast at the Queens Head was exceptional. Roast beef cooked perfectly, crisp and fluffy roast potatoes and a selection of veggies (including a beautiful truffle mash) were simply perfect. The pub itself has always been charming, very relaxed with attentive team working there. Honestly, this place does not disappoint. A top, top afternoon out

Lovely welcome like the decor of the place..walkers n dogs area just as nice as all areas. Service good..lunch was really nice..decent value for money..will come again and pass the word around.

Lovely place, friendly staff and excellent food consistently

Lovely pub food friendly helpful staff tasty food

Really good food and great service. Very pleased to have such good food available in Burley

The food was brilliant: I couldn't fault any of it at all. Unfortunately the service wasn't as good as our previous visits.

Had a really nice meal just before Christmas. They have a new chef which seems to be working well.

Great food Fantastic service. And if smiles were a currency the staff would be rich

Nice smart pub with excellent cask ale. Booth seating through out.

Classy establishment in the heart of Burley and nice to see even busier post-Covid.

Without a doubt our favourite local place to eat. We took my parents for Sunday lunch today and both the food and service was outstanding. It’s blown the other restaurants out of the water. Thank you!

It has an attractive interior design, a pleasant atmosphere and the staff offer their service with with a smile but I was slightly disappointed with the quality of my Sunday roast, it was OK but it didn't meet the standard that I would have expected for the price. Having said that, I would certainly go there again and I strongly recommend it as a pub.

Excellent couple of pints of Saltaire Blonde in a lovely pub. Will visit again soon and try the food

Lovely village pub / gastro... Mum and dad love this place always have a good meal.. And it's walking distance from there house lol

Quality food and beverage venue

It was very pleasant service good my meal was enjoyable apart from the veg which were under cooked.sorry to say mango tou was extremely crunchy.They obliged by serving another dish

Had Sunday lunch. Lovely food. Very friendly staff.

Lovely Sunday lunch and great service. Recommended.

EXCELLENT, warm and welcoming with attentive staff but not overly, the Guinness was very good and the sirloin of beef with an added side of cauliflower cheese was fabulous, a great atmosphere with an open fire, give it a go, sit.back and enjoy excellent service with a smile.

Our regular local - good food, wine and beers plus a wonderful real fire.

Excellent restaurant/bar , they've done such a good job on the refurb we only called for drinks but the food looked fantastic coming out of the kitchen .

Great design and welcoming staff, well worth a visit

Great pub, scores on drinks food and surroundings 👍

Just had the most perfect Sunday dinner here. Everything was just amazing. Delicious food....kind of gourmet pub grub, beautifully presented, decent portions and cooked to perfection. Reasonably priced yet expensive enough to justify the quality ingredients, even the side dish of vegetables was cooked to perfection and great quality produce. The beef was perfectly cooked, with a massive yorkshire pud, just enough gravy on the side....it was a wonderful plate of food. Puddings were equally impressive, wonderful sticky toffee pud, a decent chunky creme brulee and a very nice choc and pecan tart. Staff are amazingly friendly and helpful and the decor and atmosphere is smart and stylish. Great range of beers and we had a lovely bottle of shiraz that was reasonably priced. Haven't had such a good Sunday dinner in a long time...will be back soon! Good and reasonable kids menu too.

We stayed in the apartments above the pub and were able to bring the food and drinks upstairs. Everything was perfect, and the quality of the food and service was above and beyond. Strongly reccomend.

We've not been for a while. Sunday roast beef was excellent, however the sticky toffee pudding and creme brulee were the stars of the show! Superb service as well.

First visit whilst staying with friends. Lovely surroundings, good ambience, great background music, lots of menu choice all cooked to a great standard. Staff friendly and professional. Will definitely revisit when next in the area.

Friendly staff, good food and excellent prosecco!

Walked down to the village pub with my elderly mother in law to try and support our local pub, but when we got there we were told that there had been a power cut and they had emailed us. Strange as they didn’t have our email address, They did have our phone number, but no attempt had been made to call us. Also strange that the outside lights appeared to be working perfectly, the chippy next door working fine and no evidence elsewhere of power cut. Maybe a cynic but as they then shut their doors assume we were the only customers and they had decided not to open. Would have been nice if they had actually tried to contact us, Won’t be bothering again.

So every week during the government 50% of scheme we have been going out and supporting local businesses. This week we went to the Queens Head in Burley in Whafedale! Naively we didn't ask if they were participating. Pizza was ok, bit burnt around the edges. When the bill arrived there was no discount? We asked the waitress if they were not participating in the scheme, her reply was no as we don't open on a Monday or Tuesday. Is that my problem No! Would we go out and spend £75 on pizza on a Wednesday night No! They claim the money back from the government so they don't loose a penny. Well they have lost my custom in the future! Shame on you....

Very tastefully refurbished. Good good. Helpful staff

Upmarket pub come restaurant. I've visited twice and enjoyed it both times. On both occasions I've had to stand at the bar for a few minutes before getting service (hence 4 stars). Might just be my bad luck but otherwise very good spot.

Not very accommodating for people with food in-tolerances, and the food menu is very limited...the menu for all the food on offer. It would be much nicer and financially viable for the pub to offer a GF/DF menu, but they don't. Missing out on a lot of customers and money there!

Delicious Sunday roast which I feel has trumped any more expensive restaurant roasts I have had in a while. Desserts also delicious, really quality food. Really fantastic value for money in a family friendly and beautiful and cosy environment. Friendly and accommodating staff. Our new favourite place to visit for a roast after a walk up Ilkley Moors with the kids. Lovely wine too!

Really good Sunday roast, the gravy was superb. Came here a few times now after walking in Ilkley with the kids and this is always a great way to end a walk and a weekend. Lovely food, roaring fire, family friendly atmosphere and attentive staff. Would definitely recommend this place for food and drinks

I never cease to be amazed by the constantly changing menu here! I had a really tasty meat & cheese sharing platter, followed by THE MOST delicious steak & ale pie! I come here regularly with friends and family, because the service is so friendly and personable. You must check out their afternoon tea too - very generous portions of cake!

10/10 excellent service and stunning food! Cheap too!!

Me and a friend came in for a bit to eat, we haven’t been in for a year or so. The new manager ‘adam’ was very helpful and very friendly. I was really impressed with the revamp of the place and would definitely go back!

Visited here mid week and took advantage of there set menu. Great value and great food I had the north sea fish pie and cheesecake dessert. Lovely staff and friendly welcome. Well done to all involved visited a year ago and feels like a different place will be back!

Just writing this review to let people know how good quality the food and wine is, and yes the pies are made on the premises and the fish is fresh Tuesday to Saturday.When some one conplains about food and service at the Queens they must be used to eating at Mc Donald's no idea

First time I've eaten there since the refurb and was excellent and well priced mid-week set menu. Staff were friendly, attentive and helpful, service was good, wine was also reasonably priced. For a last minute mid-week meal it was ideal, highly recommended

Very good food and pleasant staff. There was 8 in our party and every one of us really enjoyed the food, drink and service.

Is not often I feel compelled to write a terrible review, in fortunately this is one of those occasions... I’m not sure I’ve ever left a restaurant so angry and disappointed. We booked a family meal, the service was very slow and not once were we asked if we wanted additional drinks which meant we were constantly having to catch the servers attention... very annoying!Starters arrived an hour after we ordered them, only half of the group ordered starters. These came at the same time as the children’s mains which we were advised to do as the mains for adults were due shortly afterwards. One and a held hours later the mains arrived, fish that was cooked 3 times by the look of it, pies that were not homemade and a couple of very sad looking burgers. None of the group are there meal in full. Upon complaining the manager did knock some money off however he did roll his eyes and fire back with a sarcastic comment at which point I lost my temper and had to walk away. On a positive note they do have some great beers available... but I won’t be back which is a shame as I loved the place before it was refurbished.

Well run establishment. Nice surroundings. Good beer. Yet to taste food.

We came here as a large group over Christmas. From the moment we entered the door to the moment we left we genuinely felt like we were treated as if we were family. I personally had the hake fillet and it was simply amazing. It was extremely busy so there was a bit of a wait but I was on the mulled wine so was more than happy. Well done to all involved.

Had an amazing Sunday lunch here for my girlfriends daughters 19th. The food was fantastic and the level of service excellent. Would thoroughly recommend for couples and families alike.

Booked for a family festive catch up few weeks before . Arrived showed to table . Beautiful setting but from there on poor. Drinks arrived fine , we ordered our food and then waited 1 hour 30 mins for starters . Food was poor , then we waited another hour for mains . Burger was supposed to be in brioche bun not! Was in normal bread cake , hair in vegetarian roast , told waitress she took meal away . She came back and informed us that the chef had said it was not their hairs as they don’t have long hair must be the manufacturer . What is manufactured in vegetarian roast!!! Children’s meals tiny asked for more chips as kids still hungry waited 40 mins . All food out of freezer or fridge not fresh . Very expensive for substandard food . Really disappointing poor poor service. Awful staff . Avoid . Eat at coop if hungry not here.

A real shame - we visited today for a belated 70th birthday celebration for my Dad. The experience was poor at best. Waited an hour for starters to arrive, then a further hour and a half before mains arrived. I ordered the veggie Sunday Roast which arrived luke warm and I found a hair in it. On complaining I was told that this couldn’t belong to any of the chefs and it must have been from the manufacturer. Sometimes better just to own the mistake and apologise.Everyone’s food was sub standard and the children’s meals were so tiny we had to order more... especially given the wait.The best bit was nice surroundings and very polite and friendly waiting staff, who were left with a tough job containing complaints about a clearly overwhelmed kitchen.We did get some money off but it unfortunately ruined the celebration. We actually left and got dessert from the coop to take home. Wouldn’t recommend which is a real shame in this gem of a location.

First time back since the refurb! Looks amazing! However walked in 2 steps until a staff member turned me around as I had my dog with me. Now a dog ‘unfriendly’ pub! What a shame. Family live in Burley (all with dogs of course) I live in Boston Spa where both bars and several restaurants allow doggies! Get with the times

The food is great value for money I have been to some of the best restaurants around the world and the food at the Queens matches.

Visited on Sunday for a family lunch for 6, everything was brilliant, staff were friendly & the food was lovely, tasty & plentiful. Everyone enjoyed their meal & we would definitely recommend the Sunday dinner.

Lovely food but had a bit of a wait between starters and mains also noticed that there's gaps in the grouting in men's toilets needs sorting

The Queens Head is the best pub, restaurant for miles no competition around the food is superb staff friendly and always cheerful. The beer and wines available are a bit different from the rest I can only say Quality in every way and you can sit anywhere for just a couple of beers which isn't like some other pubs not far from them.

The best pub and food for miles around puts the other pubs in Burley in Wharfedale to shame, friendly warm welcome great beer and fantastic wine selection. And you can sit where you want to when having a beer or two

We visited The Queens Head as a family group of 6 for Sunday lunch. We ordered a variety of dishes from the menu, including the Sunday lunch roast followed by puddings! Everyone was extremely satisfied with their meals. The lunch was delicious and well presented, I feel the food was slightly let down by the slow but friendly service. I would definitely return as I think the head chef has some brilliant classy ideas, I just think their needs to be a little more efficiency on being seated and greeted and orders being taken.

Last Sunday we decided to call in The Queen's Head for Sunday lunch as we'd heard from a family member that it was absolutely delicious and great value for money. We walked in after 3pm and were made welcome straight away. The atmosphere was warm and relaxed and the food definitely lived up to its reputation - in fact it was the best Sunday lunch we'd had out in ages! We'll be back, thank you.

Cold and empty. Didn't stay long.

Sadly for such a comfortable bar, there is no customer service, the staff couldn't care werever you there or not, the food is abismale, and for coffee it's the most expensive coffee I've paid even Rome and you do get a biscuit in Rome won't be long before it's closed down

After a very long restoration...at one point it had nothing but the old 4walls left, like an open box.....the Queens head reopened

This is a beautiful, refurbished pub. The staff were very friendly and the drinks were reasonably priced. The toilets were very well.done and the decor was exquisite. A lot of thought was put into the renovations. I highly recommend a visit to this pub!

Good food and entertainment - lovely Sunday afternoon back in August

We visited with friends for Sunday lunch. The service was extremely good and the Sunday lunch was equally as good. Very reasonably priced with plenty of choice on the menu. We will definitely be going back.

We love the Queens. Really lovely decor and very comfortable since it was completely refurbished. The chef knows his stuff too, on several visits, everything that we have ordered has been absolutely delicious. Sunday lunch is highly recommended, roast sirloin of beef is perfect. Lovely service, each and every time, a good range of drinks, can't fault anything at all. Lucky to have such a great pub/ reastaurant so nearby.

Went to Queens Head for our anniversary and have to admit, after reading and hearing reports about the food, we were a little nervous about what we were going to experience. We go there most Fridays for a drink but had not tried the food until tonight.

I am a handicap person and off ethnic origin my daughter and as I sat for service for a long while ..the waitress who attended two set of tables but kept ignoring us..So I asked her for menu she turned around rudely and spoke loud to us and said that they in the basket and to help ourselves . And no tone of welcome..It was so impolite and blatant disgusting her offensive manner we left ..As I was leaving I told her that she just turn off our appetites and she shook her head and said OK!! Plus the place smell fishy and the tables were dirty..

A bit disappointing really. I want 2 things from the ideal pub, lots of real ales with an Auto-vac system, and good food. I'd heard this place was refurbished and hoped I might score on both fronts. The interior looks very smart and we settled into a comfortable circular bay. Unfortunately the 6 pumps were only offering 2 ales, Yorkshire Brunette or Black Sheep. I tried both but neither were pulled as I'd hoped. The auto-vac allows the barman to pull the pint with a lot more energy creating a tighter creamier head. Unfortunately, this didn't happen with either pint, despite me specifically asking for it on the second pint. The food was "OK". I would really appreciate more veggie options. My wife had the Superfood salad which she felt was bland. I had the fish pie which was again, OK but nothing 'delicious' as per other reviews. The sauce for the fish could have been a great deal tastier. I will keep an eye on menu changes and give it another go and hope this might have been a blip.

Sunday lunch visit on way back from Bolton Abbey and well worth it, excellent roast at £10 per head, and a meat packed steak and ale pie, kids meal of sausage and mash 4 adults and a toddler fed for less than 50 quid in a lovely pub, great selection of ales, shame I was driving!!

We went here today for our family Sunday lunch to celebrate my husbands 65th birthday the food was really really good everyone said how nice their meal was. We took a cake & they brought it out with the candles lit for us to sing happy birthday it was lovely. All the staff are young and the service they delivered could not have been better.

We live locally but only started coming here for Sunday lunch several weeks ago. Three visits - all good but the main thing to say is exceptional value at £10 for the roast. We can’t believe it isn’t packed every week but it’s been fairly quiet on each of our visits. We don’t really even need to book. Food quality is great and lots of it. Staff are pleasant. It’s a pity the place looks like a city centre bar rather than a great village pub and this might be why it isn’t busier. Guys - start shouting about your great food and value!

Delicious food. We had the Goat's Cheese Omelette and the Wild Mushroom and cheese brioche. Reasonable prices, nice service.

Looks to have just been done up. Very nice inside. Went on a Sunday lunchtime though and was dead. Staff a little frosty

Excellent new refurbishment. Great value early bird menu. Food and service fantastic.

We had a really delicious meal, sat in the bar area. It’s got a nice balance of friendly service and top-end pub food. Beetroot starter delicious; stake and ale pie very good. We’ll certainly eat there again.

I have been here several times since the refurb and the delicious food & excellent staff have always been amazing! There is a range of tasty dishes for all tastes, whether vegetarian or kids meals. The pig and prawn is totally succulent and the burger is juicy and thick. I’ve never tasted such a delicious seafood risotto anywhere else and the serving staff are always cheerful, smiling and polite!

Sat in a cosy booth in the beautifully decorated restaurant to enjoy a really tasty lunch with friends yesterday. Our first visit and we were very impressed. Staff were helpful, welcoming, efficient and friendly. Menu was extensive and good value. I chose the smoked haddock risotto and it was the best risotto I’ve ever tasted! At £8.50 for a good sized portion I thought it was fairly priced. Desserts were lovely! Good portions & the cafe gourmand selection plate was fantastic - too much to finish even for my greedy friends

We went with friends for lunch on Tuesday 2nd April. The place was quiet but it was just after Mothers Day and mid week early afternoon.

Very much enjoyed a lovely lunch for Mother’s Day. The quality of food was excellent - the baileys chocolate cheesecake was amazing. My husband is gluten free and was well catered for. Friendly atmosphere and great service. Very family friendly.

Myself and my partner stumbled upon this little find whilst visiting some family nearby and we are so glad we did! The place was very busy and we were sat very quickly even though we didn't book a table. I ordered the chicken stuffed with haggis which was beautifully cooked and very filling, whilst my partner had a steak which was cooked exactly how he likes it. For dessert, we shared a sticky toffee pudding with ice cream which was easily one of the best I have ever had, so much so that I shouldn't have shared! We will definitely be returning when back in the area, well done The Queens Head!

I ordered a chicken dish with Haggis which had been highlighted as a dish that could be made Gluten free. I questioned it when it came stuffed with Haggis and was told it was GF. I told them it can't be and someone else came and said it was fine as did not contain wheat, only Barley! It is essential when serving food that everyone involved has a clear understanding of allergens.
