The Queens Head in Bromsgrove

Love Queens head..but pizza are OK.

We had an appalling meal at Tge Queens Head today...for our Leicester 40yh birthday party of x14 of us. Despite its lofty reputation and the good service of the many staff members, the food was absolutely atrocious and pricey...the much looked forward duck leg had no more meat on it than one ofy father in law's canaries. was significantly overcooked and consequently, what little meat was on the bone, was a dry and crisp as the very average chips 🍟 other family members had! The minute amount of mash ( made with duck fat (as per menu

Teepee was hired for a friend's 60th. Curtis looked after us all throughout. Nice and warm inside. Can't fault it for a hiring venue

Great experience...delicious Malaysian Laksa. The apple crumble could have been better.

Great place inside and out decorated beautifully. Wonderful canal side views ideal for families and functions or just to pop in ,dog friendly as well !!

Nice place but too much batter on fish

Our first visit. Staff excellent, food very good. Marquee at night very atmospheric. There was a delay with main course, staff offered a free drink, and did not want to include the service charge. We paid service charge as staff so good.

Fantastic food, great service, well organised and clean 👌

First time here today and absolutely brilliant experience. What a beautiful place and amazing staff and service. Keep it up you guys

We really enjoyed our light lunch sitting but the side of the canal, but, and no fault of the pub, the woman sitting next to us talked continuously about all sorts of garbage to her very quiet friend!

Feb 2025 • business I chose this venue for a social gathering for my Spanish students. I own a local award-winning language school, and like to organise events such as these from time to time, for marketing purposes but also because my students learn mainly on Zoom so enjoy the social aspect of getting together over some nice food from time to time. I was told my booking would not be held if I didn't pay the whole hire charge for the teepee upfront, so I did, and fortunately most of my students refunded me but I was immediately out of pocket, as two people dropped out last minute. I then enquired as to whether we could have a few more Spanish dishes in the buffet, and remove some of tge pizzas, which I was told was not possible. I also asked if I needed to pay the buffet upfront, as I would have to ask all guests to pay me in advance, and that would have been an enormous task in an already busy week. I was told it was not necessary, people could pay on the night. Fine. Disappointed but hopeful, I turned up on the night with a friend and her granddaughter. The place looked amazing and cozy. We were greeted by young Mia, who, albeit very accommodating, was a little young and inexperienced. On an occasion such as this it would have been soo much better to have been greeted by a more experienced host , perhaps someone to show off some wines, maybe some Spanish wines, as it was a Spanish event? No wines or drinks were in the teepee, as I was told, "you didn't preorder any'. Fair enough, but putting a few drinks ready in there to save people trekking to the bar, or chasing Mia for orders, wouldn't have hurt. I also asked for some background music, she said she would bring a speaker, but it never materialised. The reason I mentioned my friend's granddaughter eatlier is that I was utterly shocked that, aged 7, she paid FULL price for the buffet, unheard of ! At £18.95 that was, in my eyes, really overpriced for a kids' meal..To top it all off, at the end of the evening I was told that some of the buffet meals hadn't been paid for, and so after a lot of awkward stores between Mia and her young colleague, and the remaining few guests, I had to put my hand in my pocket and foot the bill myself. Again! I would have taken it up with a senior manager but no such luck as the whole place seemed to be run by teenagers. It was a bitter end to what could have been a perfectly good evening with a little extra and more considerate organisation for a local businesswoman who would otherwise have chosen this venue for future events .

Treated the family as it was husband and daughter in laws bday Had a fantastic day and staff work very hard and very tentative Will definitely be back Well done to all the hard working staff.

Excellent service and food not much more to say really

The staff was exceptionally welcoming, the atmosphere was lovelyand the food both delicious and promptly served. We even lingered for dessert, which was absolutely delightful! Thankyou

Great food, great service and lovely cosy vibes inside. Always enjoy whenever we dine here

Fantastic little gem friendly staff can't rate the food because only went for a drink but was very busy

We found ourselves here following a visit to the Jinney Ring Centre. To be honest we would have ate there however they have now adopted a No Dogs Allowed policy. A Google search, a quick call and we were here in 10 minutes. It was a good 'shout', all the better as we had no idea of what we were about to find. The car park and bridge approach to the place is unusual, there is a small car park adjacent to the entrance but you would be lucky to get on it. Mid afternoon on a Sunday and it was rammed which is always a good sign. It's a very nicely presented place, trendy with a good atmosphere but for me the staff were exceptional. They bent over backwards to find us a seat with the dog, and we're genuinely friendly and attentive throughout. We really enjoyed our meals, the wife having a Sunday lunch and me unusually opting for a burger. She was more than happy, and I enjoyed mine but I would have liked a few more 'frills' e.g., an onion ring or the option of sweet potato chips. Too full for a dessert. Service charge is added to the bill which I was more than happy to pay.

We won’t be returning, we were very disappointed. Went with our friends for Sunday lunch after a nice walk along the canal. All of us had the Sunday roast, the beef was over cooked despite asking for pink. The pork was ok but a bit dry, with no apple sauce despite it saying so on the menu. Also we only had two small roast potatoes each, along with a relatively small bowl of veg for the four of us comprising of only some shredded cabbage and a few carrots. So as as a consequence quite small dinners and pricey too, not an issue if it was perfect but it obviously was not in anyway. Made even more costly with the 15% service charge added to the bill too. The waitress asked if we enjoyed the meals and straight away I said it was only ok and that only two small roast potatoes each was very measly, and she replied oh dear and walked away. Last time we visited here the meal was a lot better with more vegetables and roast potatoes. So totally disappointing.

Outstanding restaurant, great for any sort of occasion I’ve attended this restaurant once for a birthday party and another time for a little catch up with my mother as you can see in the photos and videos. I can’t fault this restaurant, the settings are beautiful! Top notch decor and great customer service and of course the food and drinks are up to standard😍 I need to remember to take more footage of the location, food and drinks that order at restaurants so everyone can see more of what to expect😅🤦🏽‍♀️

For many years have been going to The Queens Head it was brilliant when it was a carvery but times change and so do the owners and the food. Very over priced and not the quality which should show in the prices. Was their for my granddaughters birthday I had the Malaysian Laksa with noodles it was oily and gloopy fortunately they did take it off the bill at £18.45 it wasn’t good. My husband had the fish and chips which came presented lovely but the fish batter was not cooked on the inside although the fish was. The rest of the party was pleased with their food. The staff are excellent and very attentive and work really hard. Such a shame the chef needs to up his game if they want to continue.

Had a lovely night in here the atmosphere was lovely food and drink was on point be warned if you park down on the overflow car park there are a few steps to navigate after a few

Have not had a bad meal on 6 occasions I've visited. Lovely atmosphere have seating inside and out with view's along the canal. Dog's are welcome.

Food and service outstanding. Abfab place on every level. Expertly managed by Ryan. Highly recommended 👌

Been here many times and staff are always pleasant and the atmosphere is nice and buzzy. Unfortunately this time the food wasn’t great. I had whipped goats cheese and beetroot to start but it looked like it had been prepared and left in the fridge ( looked dry) and the crackers or poppadums were stale. For main course I had pumpkin sage tortellini with hazelnuts which was quite dry and it seemed to be swimming in a very greasy oil.

Lovely place to visit friends/family for lunch, staff were very welcoming and attentive. Food delicious as always.

One meal very overcooked and had to be returned...noisy group of diners spoiling the experience for others - the staff were aware but did nothing to ask them to reduce the noise or bad language. Shame as normally a good option for an early evening family meal.

Great food. Had the Specials menu on Wednesday 9th Jan , Daube of Beef ..oh my goodness ! It was divine..please put this on your main menu it's a seller for sure !

First, I would like to say that I love an pub history, and this pub had that ten. I'm from up north, and walking past this pub, I couldn't help but 'invite myself' in. Straight away, Chris the landlord, was a friendly face, which I hadn't received the majority of places in Bromrove. My pint of Wainwrights was perfect followed by polite "enjoy my friend." If anyone is looking for drinks or food, I would highly recommend this pub. Chin Chin Stu from Rubery but originally Wigan

A great place for a boxing day pint - but pretty busy!

Disappointing Experience at Queen's Head I recently visited the Queen's Head with high expectations, especially since it's known for its great food. Unfortunately, my experience was far from what I had hoped. While the atmosphere was pleasant and the service was friendly, the food was a major letdown. The dishes we ordered were bland, lacked flavor, and didn't live up to the reputation the restaurant claims to have. For the price, I expected much better quality and taste. It’s disappointing when a place that promises so much falls short on such a key element. I hope they take this feedback into account and improve, but unfortunately, I won’t be returning anytime soon.

Service is always brilliant. Unfortunately food isn't.... Over cooked fish and undercooked and dry risotto for New year's Eve... Not a first time disappointed about meal over there. Hopefully next time will be better!!!

Really nice meal and great atmosphere

Went for office Christmas lunch. Lovely food and great service but severely lacking in Christmas decorations. It didn't feel like I was Christmas time n there

Lovely pub right next to the canal. Perfect for a walk and pub lunch. The roast was great and the people were lovely.

amazing food lovey service and beautiful location keep it up

It was lovely, the waitress was great and attentive, the food was very tasty and the atmosphere was festive. The dog enjoyed it too ☺️

Ate here recently and it was wonderful, as always. Had the carvery a few times (also 10/10 recommend!) but this time I had the Bourginon Pie which was great but then I had a Ferrero Rocher cheesecake which was To. Die. For. Photo attached - excuse the poor photography, I promise it's amazing! It was honestly one of the best desserts I've ever had at a restaurant. Very well priced, considering the quality of the food you get. I could easily pay more than this in other places for similar quality. Service was warm, friendly and efficient too. All around a gem of a place that people should know about, hence the review.

Super location and lovely place. Great service and some wonderful food. Really nice Christmas Menu and great dishes, absolutely worth a visit. Exceptional service and really attentive staff.

Four of us had the Sunday lunch roast including the beef, pork and vegetarian. Overall it was very good with nice portion sizes and good service. I do find it irritating however when establishments automatically include a service charge.

Love this pub in terms of location, fabulous atmosphere, warm and welcoming decor, efficient and friendly staff. Food not always as good as should be for the relatively high price (for pub) but when good is good!

We all had brilliant Sunday Roasts and Great Beer and great service. It totally finished off a fantastic weekend. Thank you so much

Lovely meal at the Queen's head, service was faultless and excellent value for the money

Lunched here on Thursday and one of our party was taken ill The support we received from the staff team was truly magnificent and well beyond that which we could have expected Well done to all

Stopped for dinner during canal boat holiday. Great food and service. Dog friendly, good selection and portion sizes.

You enter this pub and are immediately bowled over by the gorgeous panoramic view, straight out over the canal, and the classy interior. It felt like being on holiday! The food was first class too. I had the sea bass in an orange hollandaise sauce with fennel, samphire and confit potatoes. My meal arrived piping hot, in a wonderfully generous portion, and was absolutely delicious. “Little Ryan” was our waiter and was very lovely and helpful. So glad we have found this lovely, classy pub - we will be back !

Perfect spot for a pub lunch, beside the canal. Excellent food and prompt service.

Great night out, great service thanks to all the staff involved

Fantastic Sunday roast, great food, reasonably price, great atmosphere. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be returning again.

Part of the Lovely Pubs Group the Queens Head stands out. The decor and furniture create a cozy atmosphere and friendly vibe. The tables all have enough room between the to avoid the feeling of being crowded. The staff are all very friendly and professional supporting the quality pub ethos. The menu is typical of good pub grub and presented well. Served quickly and piping hot the food was excellent. Although when we visited in was raining there is outside seating and dining area. Located on the edge of the canal the setting is country pub vibe.

Ok, my British Fish and Chips. The fish was lovely but the chips were not the best. Come on last time I was here they were proper chips not frozen chips. At £19 for 🐠 fish and chips, get it right now. Don't ruin your reputation. Still a lovely pub.

Food very good,but limited choice. Expensive, especially starters. Staff there when needed and not pushy. Extremely busy,so not recommended if you like to talk over dinner and not be shouting to the person a metre away. Another drawback is seating larger parties are placed near main walkway to Tepee,so constantly getting a really cold blow. Try and book the tables by kitchen side, avoiding constant flow of people walking past. Lovely setting,done walk along canal many times. Would definitely only do a lunch if we return.

Great discovery. What more can be said except we will come again.

Excellent in almost every respect. We were a group of 4 and ordered different main courses. My fellow diners ordered Grilled Fillet of Seabass, Rosemary Roasted Lamb Rump and Grilled Za'atar Chicken Breast from the Main Menu and all were very tasty and of a generous size. I ordered (Cumberland) Sausage and Mash from the Specials Menu and it was also very tasty but the portion size was unbelievably small. It would have been disappointing for a child's meal. Three very small sausages and not much mash! It was more expensive than some of the other meals and poor value for money. Don't order it if you have a decent appetite. We meet friends here quite often and are seldom disappointed so we will be back ... but this time I'll stick with the Main Menu!

We had another great experience with superb food & atmosphere. Excellent service from Max who always goes the extra mile to make sure we are looked after.

Went here for lunch one Saturday. Loved the atmosphere, there is a lovely outside part that is covered and looked heated as people were sat in t-shirts on October. I ordered pizza which was really yummy, I really liked the views onto the canal, the staff were also very attentive and really friendly with our young daughter which was a nice touch.

Fantastic venue, brilliant staff and amazing food!

Lovely food and atmosphere - my favourite place to eat

The outside terrace is absolutely gorgeous! It is so cozy, even when the weather is chilly out. The food is spectacular also. We took advantage of their 2 for 1 pizza AND cocktail deal, so our bill at the end of the evening was rather enviable! Great service - the waiters / waitresses couldn’t be more helpful. Absolutely worth a visit!

Excellent. Sunday roast was delicious. Service is excellent. It's a lovely pub in a great setting.

First time here afters years of walking up and down the Tardebigge locks (well worth a visit). This place has an enviable location with a great view of our Midlands canals. Pricey but great food, I had the veggie roast dinner, which was delicious, as was the roast dinner ordered too by my partner. I'd like to come back and try the rest of the menu to be honest. 👍🌟

Been here a few times now, never had a bad meal. Very good atmosphere. The waiters and waitresses and superb and nothing was too much. Food was VERY tasty and not too badly priced, there is plenly of parking. Finished off with a nice walk along the canal. Highly recommended.

A large and varied establishment. Great setting beside the canal. Great food.

Lovely place to meet for food and drinks. Friendly staff, yummy food and the venue just looks amazing.

I thought to take my time and write about our lovely service by a waitress named Mia N - At all times she ensured we was satisfied with the service, Ensuring a meal was taken off the bill as steak requested as well done wasn’t completely cooked through. Mia then took this meal off the bill and allowed us to choose a desert off the menu on the house. Chatty, Fun and a warming smile. Truly made our afternoon. Thankyou Mia.

Stunning place, not really a pub though, feels like a very nice restaurant. The outside space is simply amazing. All the pretty, handsome and very well off frequent this place. The car park is full of expensive vehicles. The prices were fair for beer but £12 for a large glass of white wine is borderline robbery. The staff were great and do many of them. If the cost of living crisis hasn’t affected you, then this could be your place

Went to a retorement party last Fridsy so good went fot lunch Monday

Nice pub, disappointing food. Order 1/2 a chicken @ £18.95 got severed two chicken legs!! Was told the chef didn't understand what 1/2 a chicken was! Tbf the staff were great got 25% off which was about the amount of chicken that's was missing!

Expensive soft drinks. Pizza had the thinnest wipe of tomato sauce and precious little cheese. Chairs in marquee don't match the tables so uncomfortable to eat unless you borrow several cushions off other chairs or roll the sheepskin rug up to lift you up. Smell came through open marquee "window" of paraffin from heaters outside.

What a superbly presented pub restaurant. The feel of it is superb. The chairs are dead comfy. Loads of staff. A busy but very chilled feeling. I cannot believe this has been hidden from me for so long. What a gem of a place. Can't wait to go again. I only gave 4 stars for food. The chips could have been slightly better. But the rest of the meals in our party. Not much left on the plates apart from a few pizza crusts. Not the cheapest pub food but well worth investing in a bit of quality. Looking forward to our next visit.

Great place to stop for a drink...we had been for a long walk along tardebigge locks and welcomed a cold drink here before heading back. Lovely area to sit outside and dog friendly. A little overpriced for soft drinks but lovely atmosphere.

Stopped here on sunday 19th August after a walk down the lock flight, lovely pub and staff we spoke to on the bar were fantastic. I will call in again when we are next in the area

Excellent location, food and service. Thoroughly enjoyed the lunch.

Lovely place but food is expensive

Went for my 40th birthday celebrations with family. Booked a table in the marquee next to the canal, and the weather was brilliant. Food was outstanding and service was great too. Really would recommend this place to come, not just for special occasions but for those spontaneous trips to somewhere quiet and nice.

Sundae lunch with my daughter. Lovely experience Couldn’t fault food or service Highly recommend

Great atmosphere. Beautiful setting. Friendly staff. Child friendly. Great food. Thoroughly enjoyed it accommodated large group. Great service. Pricey on drinks

Beautiful spot right by the canal, especially in the Summer

Visited here for a late lunch whilst visiting Bromsgrove. We both had a pizza which was very good - lots of toppings. We also shared a tiramsu which was lovely. We ordered a couple of cocktails and my mojito came without any mint. When I asked where the mint was, I was told they had run out, and I was offered an alternative. As mint is a main ingredient in a mojito, I feel this should have been mentioned when I ordered or when it was served. A lovely location on the canal

The staff were very polite and the food was fantastic.

Great pub with excellent pizza. Ready access from the canal.

Nice setting, relaxed atmosphere, nice choice of dishes to choose from.

We stopped off for a light lunch whilst we were walking a section of the canal. We received a warm welcome and were offered a choice of seating areas. We opted for the Marquee section,which was perfect for us on a sunny day as we preferred a bit of shade. It was busy but our order was taken promptly and the food arrived in a timely fashion. We chose from the sandwich menu so can’t comment on the mains or other options but the food was nicely presented and tasty. We would certainly stop again if we walk that section in the future.

What a glorious location for a restaurant, on the canal edge. Plenty atmosphere, lots of v friendly & pleasant staff, food v good. Worth a visit.

Pizzas are awesome, lovely place, definitely return

Beautiful, lunch with a friend buy 1 pizza get one free with a bottle of wine £20 each. Great staff gorgeous position next to the canal the garden space is really welcoming plenty of staff at hand it was a real treat.

A great country pub. A real find. It was full inside early on a Monday evening, proving its popularity, though plenty of room outside. A family visit, we all really enjoyed it. Good GF and Vegan options too.

Very overrated, if you want a below average meal at very high prices in a nice setting then it’s perfect.

Lovely fresh fish and veg very clean tidy friendly helpful staff will be back

Fantastic atmosphere, awesome food (Recommend the Angus steak) highly recommended...

Beautiful pub in a very good location. Dropped one star for service as I felt some of the staff, whilst polite and friendly, we're also a bit pushy about us ordering more drinks/food.

Been here recently as a couple and with a group of friends and loved it both times. Right on the canal. We stayed longer than we expected to as it was so nice. The marquee is beautiful and dog friendly too. Food and service both great. There was an offer of buy one get one free on the pizzas which we took advantage of. Fast becoming my favourite place for lunch!

We didn't eat there but have had drink s there .

Great place for a drink and food after coming down the locks. Friendly staff

Afternoon lunch with a friend. for a Tuesday it was busy which showed us how popular it is. We will be back, bringing our other friends too.

Excellent, great food had prawn baguette. Others had fish and chips and a chicken wrap. Shame beef sandwich off the menu as very popular. Overall great experience and have being coming there off and on for 25 years.

Arrived for Sunday lunch at 12, service excellent and the general ambience was good, decor and fittings very nice quality. However, that's where the good things stopped. My Sunday lunch was luke warm and the vegetables were microwaved, meaning they were almost cold when served. The meat, whilst plentiful, was very rare and the Cauliflower cheese was bland. Also the very loud house phone was constantly going off in the dining area spoiling the dining experience. For £27 for Sunday lunch, I was expecting a somewhat more satisfying experience.

Love this place! Never been disappointed, food and service on point!

Sent two burnt pizza back. Bad meal .ruined our lunch. Won't be returning

Lovely sunny day so sat outside. Really helpful staff and hard working. Plenty of food. Will definitely return. Such a lovely setting.

Quality of food wasn’t great, had the Queens head burger and fish and chips. Service wasn’t much better but it was busy.
