The Queens Head in Horsham

It was a cold day and we visited for a cup of coffee and to see the recently opened pub. The lovely open fire was unlit and there was no atmosphere. For an old pub the decor was not suited to this lovely village pub. Another couple came in and asked for mulled wine, however the pub had none! So December, no fire lit, no mulled wine and staff that were not very engaging. We looked at the food menu and we felt over priced. I’m not surprised it’s closed. Hopefully it will re-open soon with someone with a better strategy.

A really good roast dinner on Mother's Day. However the people who started running the place at the end of last year have signally failed to engage with the local community. It's no good opening the doors and sitting there hoping for the best. Suggestions have simply been ignored. Abject failure. Please, please, can we have someone to run this pub as a proper hub within the community!

Went to the Queens Head for a change (it's not our local) and had their Sunday Lunch....wow, it was fab. Meat was cooked so well it fell apart and plenty of it. Staff amiable and good service. We were disappointed, for them, that there weren't as many people there as we'd expected for Mothers Day as I'd like the pub to do well, so it would be nice if more locals could frequent it...you know the saying: if you don't use it, you lose it and it would be a pity if this pub closed yet again.

Superb Sunday roast lunch, the best I have tasted for a long while. Service was very good. Strongly recommend

Food was delicious as always. This has become our favourite pub. Great staff and they know exactly what we like, hence the extra custard in the photo 😊.. so attentive and welcoming

A welcome return for this village pub and Sunday Lunch certainly lived up to the recommendations we have recieved. Generous portions of perfectly cooked Roast Sirloin and the Queens Feast, a selection of the various choices on offer, with delicious roasted vegetables and Kale topped with an enormous crispy Yorkshire and served with a side of cauliflower cheese made for a Sunday lunch that would have been hard to beat. Can certainly recommend.

Good quality gastro type food in beautiful old pub. Quite quiet on a Wednesday evening and service not especially quick but we weren’t in a rush so happy to enjoy the atmosphere of the building

Wow, what more can I say!!!! Would highly recommend everyone to try Service was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

We took the family for Sunday lunch, the Queens feast (a bit of all meats) was absolutely amazing all the meats were cooked to perfection. We also had a child's fish and chips and a burger, all good but we will definitely be heading back just for the burgers. Staff were all very friendly and happy to help. Well done guys.

I’m really pleased to have the the Queens Head back open and it’s better than ever. The food is great and the service is on point, friendly and attentive. I highly recommend a visit and will be back again….and again : )

We went for a pre- dinner drink at our local. The fire had gone out. Pub virtually empty. Very loud music. No one in the restaurant and no atmosphere. Very, very disappointing. . Big blackboard advertising Valentines evening. No menu or prices. We would like to book but what are we going to get?

Direct access from the car park is closed. One has to detour to a side door through the pub to reach the restaurant. Menu restricted to six items, with great attention to presentation. Active serving staff was embodied by one Maitre'd who was runoff his feet and was the only member of staff who appeared to value the customers. The pub was closed on Saturday lunchtime without warning or website mention.

Not impressed to be honest. Not much has improved or changed in there after its reopening imo. Only had the burger and chips at £16 for lunch as everything else was off the menu! Poor burger patty, dry and I reckon just frozen. Bar service was bad on our visit too. Stood waiting for ages to get served, even though it was quiet, while the bar maid spent more time gassing to other customers she clearly knew. It was only after a while a young girl sitting at the bar clearly saw us being ignored, that she thought she'd serve us. Perhaps we were just unlucky on the day we chose to go in after Xmas. First impressions though weren't good and I'm not sure I'd rush back.

We had the most wonderful lunch here today. The service from the moment we walked in, was brilliant. The food is fantastic and portion sizes extremely generous. Thank you to the new owners and staff.

Having lived in West Chiltington over 20yrs ago and The Queens Head being our local I heard there where new owners. Well, we certainly where not disappointed, the food was excellent, served by consider & polite staff. Super hot and very taste would certainly recommend a visit.

Brilliant food and great service. We are from out of the area and stopped by on the off chance they had a table and so glad they did, what a little gem! I had the chicken roast and it was delicious. Half a chicken plus...

Well-chosen menu of classics but with some very nice suprises – mixed Turkish grill….was very good and the fish and chips excellent with proper thrice-cooked chips. Yes, there is no wine list but I think the wines are fairly priced in today’s market. Have done...

Fabulous Sunday lunch ,generous portions ,attentive staff. Great to have pub back again ,the place has been smartened up ,very comfortable ,really good atmosphere .These guys know what they are doing

Sunday lunch today was delicious and plentiful. The beef cooked to perfection and tender and a range of vegetables served including greens. Wine is too expensive and no wine list and price of wines served.

We went for a family meal tonight and it was superb. 6 clean plates all round including the menu who had pasta and fish and chips from the menu. The adults had beef bourgignon and seafood risotto which were both delicious. Service was really friendly...

We went for Sunday lunch today and it was great to see our local pub buzzing and busy again. Delighted with the tasty and generous portions of food. Great presentation. Very friendly service and a great atmosphere. Thank you. We will definitely be returning. Ps...

Visited Queens Head for lunch yesterday the food and service were excellent would strongly recommend

Very happy that this pub has just reopened. Had an excellent meal with friends last night. Warm welcome and good choice on menu. We all had different main courses and were very happy! My seafood risotto was delicious. Good puddings too. We will certainly be...

Great to see the village pub open again. The Queens Head has had a very tasteful makeover and now has a warm glow. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the food is fantastic. Well worth a visit. Couldn’t fault it at all.

It is great to visit this beautiful pub, which has just re-opened under the same management of one of my favourite drinking holes, the Boars Head, Horsham. What a great opening evening, the village has turned out in force: there is a clear desire for...

This place has closed and locked it’s doors . Despite various attempts to contact them there is no answer either on the telephone or at the door. Lights out and no one’s home

Very limited drinks on offer, as most of the beers were unavailable. The food was very average. I’m surprised at the number of good reviews, because this place is mediocre at best.

I popped in to The Queen’s Head yesterday with some family and had the most delicious meal! I have (many) dietary requirements and the head chef/ owner was so helpful and kind and came up with a suitable and extremely tasty meal for me. Everyone...

We went on a Friday evening with our two boys aged 9 and 12. I haven’t been in the pub for a few years but was amazed at the changes it had gone through, all for the better. The outside space has been increased (for...

We had a great meal here. Such a nice old pub, friendly staff and amazing food. It has a good menu choice, the food was faultless and the service was fast and efficient. Will definitely be back now we’ve discovered this little gem. Highly recommend.

We had a Wonderful Lunch for 2. The waitress Hope was super caring of a lactose allergy and went above and beyond to be sure there was no lactose in the meal. She took our order and promptly brought our drinks and then food. She was attentive without hovering. We would recommend and return.

Brilliant local pub. We have eaten here lots and the food is always excellent, especially the burgers which are probably the best I've had! The staff are lovely and the whole pub has been done up beautifully, from the gin bar to the wonderful outdoor space. There is even live music if you get lucky. Highly recommend for food or drinks.

We had a fabulous lunch here last week, lovely food at a great price. The staff were great and went above & beyond to facilitate us fussy eaters. We will definitely be returning. Thank you

Had a lovely lunch yesterday. All covid rules adhered to. Very attentive staff. Even cooked food off menu. Thank you. Most enjoyable. Lovely atmosphere

Had a fabulous lunch today. Food was plentiful and tasty and service was attentive but not intrusive.In the days of Covid it was great to go out and have a lovely lunch and feel safe, which is very important to us. It is essential to support our local pubs and restaurants during these difficult times and I will be returning as it would be a travesty if we lost this asset to our village

Absolutely wonderful experience all around! Wonderful staff, wonderful atmosphere, wonderful food. Can not recommend this pub enough, perfect for Sunday lunch. Traditional pub lunch, with great quality food not to mention great for the price.

A wonderful meal at the queens head today. The service was so great and the all the food was tasty. Such good value for money. So glad we ate our lunch there today

Over the past few months my family and I have enjoyed numerous wonderful meals here. The kids always love going to the Queens Head and my oldest insists that they have the best brownies in the whole world! Our top pics on the menu are the burgers and the Pizza's (Pear, Gorgonzola and Walnut is the best!) Steff does a great job of putting on wonderful specials, offering local produce where possible and putting intersting specials on the menu on a regular basis. There is always something new and tasty on the menu. I adore the Haloumi fries! Steff's Thursday and Sunday specials meal specials mean a whole family can eat out for arouond £25! An absolute bargain!I cannot fault the staff who have made an enormous effort to manage service during these strange times and with all the additional measures they are required to take. Can't wait to go back again!

I recently met my friend at The Queens Head and ended up staying for food and drink. The burgers are amazing and the variety on the menu ensured there was something different for everyone. The measures taken by the staff, to ensure we were safe didn’t impact on our service or enjoyment and we had a fab night. Can’t wait to come back.

I have eaten here a few times and never been disappointed. However it’s been a while due to Covid. Me and my husband booked a table last week and left very happy. I felt there was a good selection even with a reduced menu. Tables were spaced out and service was professional. It’s a hard time for pubs and restaurants at the moment, and of the few places we have been out to recently I would say the queens head are doing a great job. Will be back again soon

We waited over 1hr for the food and I received not what I ordered. "Hope" burger should be with sauce and pickled cucumbers and it was a dry piece of meat in a bun, that's all! Cold frys and a tiny salad if you can call it a salad. An older couple was sitting next to us and they were also very dissatisfied. We heard criticism from them all the time... I never go back there again.

We popped in for lunch. Limited menu but that was fine. Plenty of seating areas outside. Very well laid out. Inside seating looked really comfy.Food was good but couldn’t understand why u had to pay an extortionate amount for the ketchup 50p!!,,Will return if no charge for ketchup.

Having checked on the website, we went for lunch and were very disapointed to find that, not only was the available menu drastically reduced, but all orders had to be placed at the bar and taken to table by the customer. The management told us that they did not have full control over the website and regretted the misinformation. However as all information onn the website was pre Covid 19 our expectations were unreasonably high. Our experience was such that we complained vigourously and, in fairness , they refused to charge us for the meal. However It wil be a long time before I put put myself in a position to review this establishment again.

Absolutely loved this venue for a family meal earlier this month. The food was Devine and the best vegan menu around. The vegan super bowel was just Devine. The staff were very attentive and were brilliant with my young children. Would thoroughly recommend

Love the food here and staff always friendly. Proper old school pub with an open fire. Places like this are few and far between

Perfect pub to visit for any occasion. Highly recommend. Food fantastic. Great service and friendly welcoming.

called in for a drink - bar staff disinterested but not a warm welcoming pub. very cold, dusty and cobwebs, and dirty food left on floor. woul not recommend

We came up for Sunday lunch. Never been before but were impressed by the website and we are always looking for somewhere different, so went for it. Two of the four drinks we ordered were sadly not available. The young staff waiting tables were friendly but didn’t seem over knowledgable. We had to ask for menus about 20 minutes after arriving. It didn’t appear to be over busy. Found the place quite charming but the alcove with tiled floor by the window over looking the garden was very draughty and chilly despite the radiator being on. Our food was delivered to our table after having been there for about an hour. There was no indication that that it would take so long when we ordered it but it was worth the wait. The food was excellent. We did have to call a waitress for a second drink, the desserts were delivered in good time and were delicious. The vegan menu was one of the reasons for going to the queens head and it did not disappoint. (There are still quit a few cobwebs in this corner of the establishment). On the whole a pleasant lazy Sunday afternoon. Would we come back? Maybe on a lazy sunny day when speed of service is of no importance and the weather is warmer. Not sure if we would have left a tip and when we saw the service charge included on the bill we felt that 10% was a bit cheeky especially as the the bill also had the option go for a gratuity. I am afraid we declined that option. Not running the place down just trying to be constructive. Thank you.

Been here recently with a friend for a drink. Pub cold and a barely lit fire the other week.called late afternoon and no fire. Young girl behind bar unfriendly and not welcoming. Don’t go if you’re cold - they don’t seem to like a nice fire or to have the heating on. Had to sit with coats on.

I booked the Queen's Head for another family reunion and slightly had my heart in my mouth because the previous visit hadn't been up to scratch, but there were good reasons for that so I didn't review it. This time however, they really pulled out all the stops and gave us all an excellent Christmas lunch. There were 10 of us and we had all pre-ordered. We were all impressed that the 3 course meal had not increased in price since last year but the quality of the food had moved on immeasurably. The starters were all lovely - and generous and the main meals were all cooked and served with real style. The puds were also top-notch. Very well done to Steph and her team for givning us all a very, very happy experience at The Queen's Head. Long may you continue to thrive. We'll be back soon I hope.

Came with my family last Sunday for a pre Xmas get together for 9 of us. We had pre ordered from the set Xmas menu and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The food was so well presented, portions were just right and above all it was delicious. We meet up every year but this was by far the best Xmas meal we’ve had. My niece has a nut allergy and the staff made sure that everything was perfect for her by catering to her needs. The staff are always friendly and even though the restaurant was busy, we had great service.

Nice surroundings, average food, one sultry male waiting staff just threw dishes at us annoyingly and seemed pissed off generally, spilling coffee and tea without apology, really weak coffee, this area needs a pub with space and homemade food to rival a local smaller establishment, there was no homemade feel to our dishes sadly, frozen chucked in the oven!!!

Great food and great evening entertainment at this very nice pub. Friendly attentive staff both behind the bar and in the restaurant. The entertainment was a teenager called Izzi who sang lots of well known songs and was well appreciated by all those attending. She is a regular performer at this venue and is well worth the visit.

Visited Saturday lunchtime. Tempted by recent reviews, I chose the Mediterranean fish stew which was very good with a good mixture of fish, prawns, mussels, calamari together with butter beans and olives all mixed together in a tasty tomato based sauce. My partner was not so enamoured with her crispy fried pork with rice - which she found rather tasteless and not at all crispy. The pavlova was good but quite rich - perhaps not a bad dish to share between two?

From the outside a typical village pub ,the interior has three distinct seperate parts,a well presented dining area and two bar areas each with an eclectic mix of sofas.The food was reasonable although a little overpriced ,the beer was excellent although service was charmingly haphazard probably due to an influx of quiz teams.

Dropped in for a snack one weekday lunchtime and on that basis decided to book for supper the following evening and invite our neighbours. 2 Fish Stews, 1 Meatballs and 1 Cannot remember all were nice together with good service.

We had the most amazing evening at The Queen's Head last night. For a start the food was beyond delicious, we were lucky enough to book on the 'Fish night' and all 4 of us took advantage of the special menu - plaice, skate wing and fish stew were our mains after our starters of coconut shrimp and calamari - delicious!! But beyond this the service was amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming staff made our evening extra special. The owner made a point of talking to and serving all the customers and took the time to make sure our evening was lovely. I can't recommend this lovely, characterful pub enough. Service, food and atmosphere was perfect. The only downside is we live too far away to make it our local. Thank you for a fantastic night, a real treat!!

A week ago we visited the pub to check it out for a lunch for up to 20 ladies in October.

Rather mixed feelings about The Queen's Head. Parking is fine with no problems; the decor isn't really enhanced by the cobwebs and service was very friendly & polite but rather 'relaxed'. The menu is typical 'pub grub' style - burger / scampi / spare ribs etc. but good & not too expensive. But a medium glass of wine for £5.90! Might go again but avoid the pricey wine.

We hadn't been to the Queen's Head in many years but have now been twice in 3 weeks. Excellent service and food. The pavlova was absolutely gorgeous. Nice atmosphere and very friendly staff.

We went here by chance and were made to feel very welcome. The inside of the pub is lovely and decorated to relax customers. We sat in the courtyard and had ciabattas that were delicious. We will definitely return!

We visited on a Tuesday lunchtime. Very quiet. The girl who served us was lovely, helpful, attentive. But the food wasn’t brilliant. Steak and Ale pie with so much gravy I’ve had thicker soups. My wife’s pasta dish had tagliatelle with cheddar or similar, not Parmesan, and was difficult to cut.

Had a lovely lunch out with my kids at The Queens Head. We were waited on by Sadie who gave us wonderful service and was very welcoming. The food we had was delicious and came out in good time. Will certainly be going back again, great family pub.

Myself and family dined at The Queens Head West Chiltington . The food was perfection and even on a midweek evening the atmosphere was nicely buzzing. The staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. The decor is tasteful and very fitting within its idyllic village setting. This is a real hidden gem and deserves to be on the radar of any culinary aficionado or pub enthusiast. We will be back.

We ate at the pub last night and it was one of the best meals we have had in a pub for a long time. We were visiting relations who live nearby and decided it would be nice to try a pub that we have never been to before. All four of us were in agreement that the food,service and ambience was superb. All food freshly cooked and a lovely bottle of wine at reasonable price. We will be going there again. Better than some highly priced restaurants.

Visited Monday evening had cod & chips & steak mushroom & ale pie both were beautifully served, piping hot & delicious. The atmosphere was very relaxed with no feeling of being rushed. Would definitely recommend and will visit again shortly

Visited with my parents as we enjoy comedy stand up and good food, we weren’t disappointed! Easy parking, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and locals and delicious food all at reasonable prices. What’s not to like in this pretty country pub. Thank you Steff and team so much we’ll be back soon

My wife and I were going to stop at this lovely looking village pub on the 12th of July but were put off by a very drunken man holding a pint of beer, standing in the doorway shouting abuse at passing school mothers and their children, he was focusing on one woman in particular who had had a note stuck to her car presumably upsetting the pub for parking on the road outside. We got back in our car and went to the Roundabout which was very relaxed and provided excellent service.

Normally I would not write a negative review for much but felt strongly enough to put some words together here. Looking for a light snack and drink after a busy day we came across this pub, nice advertisement boards outside looking very welcoming but how deceiving that was.

Popped into this village on the way through to Worthing as I knew it was off the beaten track, alas when arriving I was immediately confronted by shirtless louts in the 'beer garden' who seemed to be shouting abuse at passers by. Would have loved to have sampled the offerings but felt threatened by the customers and there was no control from the bar staff possibly landlord if they were around ?

Really delicious Mediterranean fish stew back on menu and specials board too .Styling of interior very nicely done and two gardens,one a grass playing area for families and one a pretty courtyard garden.Well done Stephanie .Also thank you Sarah for your attentive waitressing last night.

Lovely dinner at the local pub in West Chiltington. Special of sweet and sour pork and chicken and mushroom pie. Both very flavorful! Desert was sticky toffee pudding that was delicious. Portions were very good as we were full at the end of the evening. Everything was served at the proper temperature.

The menu has a wide range of options and there is a whole separate vegan menu. Really good food, especially the soup. Another member of our party said his burger was delicious and the local ale on tap was very well kept. The owner is always very welcoming and accommodating. We will be returning again!

Having supported this pub much before the new Land lady took over.

Excellent food, good beer and good service. The land lady was very attentive and ensuring we were well served. All of the food was excellent and well presented.

Went to the pub in June for lunch with friends. However our lunch was totally ruined by the mummies who park in the pub parking area and think they own it. We were trying to get out and were verbally abused. Also their parking outside the pub blocks peoples view. An accident waiting to happen.

We came and had our Sunday lunch at this pub. Very nice style! Love the new gin bar layout! Only downside was that it was so quiet! This pub deserves so much more! The food was delicious, staff very kind and talkative. Anya our waitress was so so sweet! A lovely note left with our bill to let us know about trip advisor! We had a lovely day and meal out! Will definitely be recommending!

Have been here a number of times and food is always excellent. Staff very helpful and friendly also a dog friendly pub too. Just the place to go after a long walk and have lunch/dinner and a good beer etc. A must go place.

I came with my family on Father’s Day. The food was superb, service, excellent. Our waitress- Anya, very sweet with a lovely smile. The pub looks so much nicer inside and out, with a new restaurant layout that’s lovely. Again, food is superb, (my steak was beautiful!). Will definitely be recommending to my friends and family! Well done!

Back again, this time for Sunday lunch with grown up family and a toddler to celebrate my birthday and Father's Day. So the pub was really busy but our service did not suffer neither did the food. It was all just lovely - Anya and George were great - efficient and friendly. We were here a couple of weeks ago with friends from abroad on a Saturday night and everything was delicious - we appreciate the hot plates! I have always thought that a smaller menu in a restaurant should ensure quality and this is now definitely the case here - good luck for the future.

We only had drinks and bar snacks (homemade and delicious) but was a lovely cosy experience. George served us with a smile and was extremely polite and helpful. Would recommend!

Been here several times now with friends or family and it’s always a great experience. The food is excellent and very well presented and the young team are so friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is relaxed and informal and we’re very lucky to have this pub as our local. We also enjoyed a drink and live music recently. Will definitely keep coming back!

We visited the Queens Head whilst on holiday in the village and were very impressed not only by the very courteous service but also the quality of the food.

Ok, I am somewhat biased as I grew up in West Chiltington and my mother still lives in the village but I am so pleased to see the Queens Head making a go of things.

We popped in late Saturday lunchtime for a light lunch and a drink in the pleasant courtyard after visiting the nursery nearby.

Best drinking and eating establishment in West Chiltington.

Our group came here again after a disappointing Christmas meal. Tonight was better, but the mussels were cold and the chips didn’t arrive until half the meal was eaten. No apology, just excuses.

I was taken for a Mother's day meal & I enjoyed the gluten free roast beef & chocolate brownie to die for! There was a very pleasant atmosphere & the staff were polite & attentive. I even had a Mother's day card signed by the team -a nice touch- thank you!

This is a great local pub with events on during the week and excellent food at a good price. This pub has fairly new owners and is well looked after, clean and with a lovely fire. We and a few friends have been their several times recently and never been disappointed - the menu is varied and interesting and I would particularly recommend the lemon tart.

Wow what can I say .... a new enthusiastic landlady , new wine list , ( the house wines are so much better now) new look though still very cosy , lovely ambiance.A great local .

This pub is in the hands of a new land lady yet again. We thought we would go & support it as it is our local. However a few things need to change before we return.

Had a great Burns Night dinner at the Queens Head. The chef did a great job as the haggis was great, starters were good but the traditional dessert was not for me, but everything else was good. Most of the staff threw themselves in to the evening

The food was ok, not amazing by any standards. The place was not very busy & the restaurant was almost empty. Several things not available. Staff very attentive but there was not much else for them to do

Went for supper with friends to my local village pub

Our group use this regularly as our main venue, but we were bitterly disappointed last night. The room allocated to us was cold and the Christmas turkey dinner cold too. The staff tried to compensate with free wine( admitting their mistake) but unfortunately people left early and revenue in more drinks lost. Such a pity as food is often good in smaller numbers.

New landlady’s a gem; the staff are friendly, warm and inviting; food delicious – shortcrust chicken and leek pie was delicious with smooth mash and fresh well-cooked veggies – yum - recommended

Been here plenty of times for lunch a warm welcome from Sarah who looked after us from start to finish thank you not that busy for a Tuesday lunch time but tasty food worth a visit

Went in for a drink. Children sitting on bar chairs by the bar. This should be for adults. Manager not available. Bar staff going outside front door and smoking, front door wide open and cigarette smoke wafting inside. Not good. Service very slow and lacking. Believe owners have taken there eyes off the pub. Shame. Loud mouths go in there in the evening and take over. What started off as wonderful is now on a huge decline.

Have just returned from a most enjoyable lunch here. The food and service were excellent, as was the atmosphere in this lovely pub. Will certainly be returning.

Food so bad it was returned. First time I have ever done this, in a pub ever. That says all you need to know. Starter was the sweetest sickliest onion soup I have ever had....I think chef got the salt and sugar mixed up, I can think of no other reason. The main of tempura sweet and sour pork was just inedible, i reckon this could have been straight out of the Iceland ready meals section if it wasn’t so bad. I don’t know how this is on the menu, the lady server offered to return it which seemed like a regular thing she was that non plussed about it. Awful meal.
