The Queens Head in Erewash - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We've visited quite a lot this summer and have booked for Xmas day. One of the reasons we come is the children's meals are lovely. You have the option of potatoes and veg which you don't get in a lot of places sadly. My daughter had the mixed veg and I was expecting the type that's in a frozen bag but it wasn't. She had a good and really enjoyed it. It's served beautifully too and good value, it includes ice-cream and a drink.

Average food. Went for a family meal and paid premium prices for food I could make better myself. Used to be so much better. Won’t be going again I’m afraid unless food improves to match the price.

Had some of the smokey bacconaise wings...we're really delicious and filling...the service was great and staff very friendly...would definitely recomme

Called today, we all had fish chips and peas which was delicious and served quickly. The staff were very attentive and asked if our meal was okay which it was. Nice cold beer, a lovely visit many thanks.

We have been visiting for lunch for several years probably once a month and have always been satisfied with the smaller lunch menu. When the new menu was announced we visited to see what had changed, pretty much everything ☹️. The old lunch menu had gone to be replaced by a new menu where the only lunch options were jacket potatoes and baguettes/wraps etc. Often in the past when visiting we had to book as the pub was packed, today the pub was almost empty. People no doubt voting with their feet, we mentioned our disappointment with the staff who said they would pass our comments on. We said that we would no longer be coming in at lunch unless the menu changes which is a shame as we really enjoyed the food on the old menu and the bar always had a great selection of different beers.

The food was amazing and the pub itself is warm, cosy and very welcoming. All credit goes to the management and staff who made us feel at home with excellent service. See you again soon!

Great value lunches The staff are great and Julie, one of the managers, is exceptional! Warm and friendly, attentive. Nothing is too much trouble, really the "face" of the Queens Head

Visited here today 29th Sept 2023 being fist time since lockdown. Wasnt too busy to start but got busier. Good menus and decent prices. we had the burger which was very nice indeed, a few more chips would have been good. great customer service. Will be back

We enjoyed a really lovely lunch today both food and service were excellent. Dale the guy behind the bar and also waiting on was attentive and knowledgeable. The food was excellent . Two ate duck one ate steak all were well cooked and presented- dessert was equally good two crumbles one millionaire pud again really good and well presented.

We are locals and call in for drink most weekends but the service at the bar is dreadful each time we go in there is normally only one person serving and others just wondering around. While I appreciate the staff have to tidy up wouldn’t be better service to serve the customers that stand waiting at the bar and then “ tidy up”

We live local to the Queens head and its a pub with a nice atmosphere but the food last night was not good at all, the hunters chicken which was cooked so long i should of asked for a steak knife, and the meal wasn't very good to look at for the price with limited chips and a few peas , the other meal lasagna was clearly just a microwaved meal with sweet potato fries which were cold and like card board , overall not a good experience which is a shame with it being a local and nice pub , your only as good as your last meal served and these were well below a good standard .

Beautiful pub, friendly staff and excellent food. Called in with my husband as a last minute decision on our way home. The bar tender was extremely friendly and attentive. We ordered 3 small plates to share and they were very tasty. The garden is beautiful with plenty of seating offering sunny and shaded areas. We don’t live close but we will certainly be making more trips to this pub as it was that nice.

Had the rib-eye steak ! Service slow Mushrooms were stone cold on everybody’s plate pepper sauce was watered down. I asked for a medium cooked stake absolutely raw ! They took it away to cook it a bit more Came back burnt,it wasn’t my steak the brought back to me. Nobody ever asked if everything was ok. Manager disappeared when we went to pay. Don’t wast your hard earned money.

Breakfast is amazing quality and good value! The service is always exceptional and we always feel welcome. Keep up the good work!

I come to the queens very frequently, the staff are amazing, one particular girl caught my eye, was meant to write this a while ago but we went away, haven’t seen her recently, but I think her name is Emelia, the dedication this girl shows was amazing, sat and watched her clean a table a child had wrote on in marker, she was so nice and polite, always asking if everything was ok, such a lovely girl, I see her often around ockbrook, the queens are lucky to have such a vibrant young lady on the there staff, some of the staff are always hanging around, I do hear them moaning about hrs, which can be quiet off putting, the food is amazing, but do think the management need to have a shake up with there staff, do hope we see Emelia again, such a happy girl who goes above and beyond..

Lovely friendly atmosphere. Caters for kids. Events on bank holidays. Two for one cocktails. Fizz Friday.

Great food. Good atmosphere bad wifi but food was top quality good selection of beer will be visiting again

Great food and great friendly people. The staff was so polite. We had 10 people so a big table and all the food came out fresh together.

Pleasant atmosphere with really good food. Would return again. Came with family and friends. Reasonably priced food and drink.

Visited today as close by Elvaston Castle for Food and drinks, Sunday Lunch was beautiful, Great Price and they even offer you EXTRA Roast Potatoes and Yorkshire Puddings! Ash served us and to be honest, he couldn’t of done enough. He looked after everyone which is always nice to see. We’ll be back for sure.

Thank you all for an amazing meal, great service and the kind Mothering Sunday gift! It was the best meal we’ve had for a long time. And it was warm!! Nice to sit eating our meal without our coats on! Well done to all the...

First and last visit to this pub, was overly Impressed with the size of the car Park but it ended their Our party Ordered Sunday lunches but wasn’t impressed with the mass produced slop served on the plate No one came to see if our...

A real shame for a pub that was renowned for its quality food has deteriorated to such an extent. Atmosphere and drinks are still good but markedly less people eating these days. I can see why, the kitchen expertise is limited to a fryer and...

Had a family meal, price for meal and drinks were competitive but far too much ice in Drinks, I reckon 2/3 of all soft drinks I bought were ice. I'm sure if I asked they would have put less in but all 7 drinks came...

came here on Christmas Eve Eve with family, great atmosphere good drinks. A great night and will return

I’ve been coming to the queens head for years with both friends and family. Whether stopping for food or just a few swift pints, every visit is delightful.

Me and my friends regularly frequent the Queens Head and always have a great experience here. The food is always 10/10 and the staff are incredibly friendly. Couldn’t recommend it more for an evening out.

Me and my friends have been regular visitors to the Wednesday pub quiz at the Queens Head. The staff have always been very welcoming and have been very catering towards my milk allergy whenever I have ordered.

Good atmosphere ever night, the drinks and food are reasonably priced, and the weekly quiz is good fun.

Perfect pint of Guiness, great stuff. Outdoor area is superb. Nowhere better to meet Les copains. Love it

Been coming here for years and it never disappoints - food is decent, atmosphere is always good and the quiz is 10/10

I come here every time I visit Derby. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, excellent service. An all round 5 star experience. Highly recommend visiting!

Love the queens head. Great outdoor space. Fun quiz on a Wednesday. Plenty of food and drink options and fair prices

Lovely, helpful and friendly staff. I had to ask for the table to be wiped down which was swiftly dealt with. I had asked via a phone message left, and also an email, to reduce the party size but not had a response, although when...

We went here with a few of our colleagues for a comfortable spot to catch up and have some food. The food was lovely, everyone commented on how nice it was and what such good value for money it was. The manager Ash was very...

Always come back for a lovely roast, staff are really friendly! Pub accepts dogs which I love and it’s still really clean.

We had the best Sunday dinner here, we always come back! Staff are always really polite and it’s always clean.

Fabulous night watching football. Had drinks and combo to share. Great staff and service. Had a fabulous night! Would definitely recommend. Ash is always very hospitable and love the service we receive 😊

Went with friends to watch the England game against Senegal . They advertise the football yet fail to mention there charging an extra 20p per drink soft/alcoholic just because there are playing the match! Drinks aren’t cheap there as it is ! It’s put a...

Arrived at pub at 5pm. Selected a table as quite a few wher reserved and got our drinks. Planned to have a coupe of drinks and then order some food in an hour or so. All of a sudden someone came and plonked a reserved...

Sunday lunch (roast pork and as many Yorkies, roast potatoes and gravy as you could eat plus mash and veg). Lovely atmosphere and staff. 20 minute wait for food after ordering, which was fine considering how busy they were. Shared a cheese plate, but there...

We had a wonderful Sunday Roast here today. We booked for 1pm. Everything was perfect, from a lovely welcome to prompt order taking and serving of the the most lovely roasts and desserts. It was a very busy day, as expected, but we were told...

Food was average, the chicken shitsnel literally was ,but the staff were absolutely fantastic with amazing service.

Food was nice. The service was very quick and all round a good night. Prices are reasonable and will be returning.

Always a great atmosphere, friendly welcoming staff and good food. Also a solid cask ale choice which changes regularly.

First time visiting today, took the dog for a walk before and from the outside the pub looks very welcoming and lots of parking. We had booked and had a little wait at the welcome desk before a member of staff came over but we...

We visited the queens last Saturday with very high expectations. I must say without the super service from the young waiter with curly hair, my night certainly wouldn’t have been as good. He was very attentive and freindly and nothing was too much for him....

We visited the bar several times to place our order where there was no staff. I asked a waiter who was cleaning tables and he said ‘the manager is on the bar’ even though no one was available to help us, no further assistance was...

Always come with friends on a Wednesday for the quiz. Erica always comes over and checks we are ok and is always smiling and happy to see us all.

We have been to the Queen Head several time for both evening meals and Sunday lunch. Erika is the most helpful and polite person and will go above and beyond, an asset to the pub.

We came on a Sunday for Sunday roast. The food was very nice, and the waitress Erica really look after us. She always had a smile on her face and offered 5star service. Very friendly atmosphere and loved the decor. We will be visiting again.

Came for Sunday dinner yesterday for the first time since the menu has changed. Not very fond of the new stuffing but cannot fault the service. Erica was superb and was backwards and forwards to make sure we had everything we needed. Very friendly environment...

George and Dan looked after us wonderfully this evening when we had an extended family reunion dinner for 8. Every meal was superb, all food arrived together regardless of how complex the meal was. Fabulous service, lovely atmosphere and also super good value. Thanks so...

Food is fantastic! Jade was very helpful, very friendly and made us feel comfortable too. Would definitely go back again.

Visited here for Sunday dinner, at the time they were busy due to the Nottingham Forest Football game, which wasn’t a problem & we didn’t mind waiting. Unfortunately when the food came to the table, the lamb shank was found to be very tough &...

The service was very good on a busy Saturday night. Good choice of meals. Food was tasty and well presented but portion size was on the small side. The biggest downfall was the price of the drinks. Over £8 for a glass of wine and...

Went for a sunday dinner on Sunday 22nd may 2022 at about 3pm food was not worth 15£ a head, it was cold plate was cold food was just slapped on the plate, veg was limp, daughter had lamb shank which was burnt at one...

Had a great time with my friends. Great service and food amazing as always. Nothing is to much of an ask and always feel welcome

Great food. Great drinks. Great staff. Would recommend to anyone who’s looking for a nice meal or just wanting a drink.

Ample car parking available. Pleasant surroundings. Nice selection of cask ales available. The food was ok. Nothing special, but not bad. Served promptly. About right on the price point. The staff, when prompted, were helpful.

From booking the back room to the end of the night Ashley was fantastic - everything was organised. He made it so easy and both him and his staff were attentive throughout the night. The buffet not only looked wonderful but all the guests commented...

Just had the most amazing breakfast here , fresh local home cooked food served piping hot and plenty of it , Ashley was great and nothing was too much trouble , thoroughly recommend

Good mixed selection of cask beers that are always very well kept. The place is well looked after and the tables always clean. Great staff.

This is my fourth and final visit to this pub. Since moving to Borrowash I have visited this 4 times and been very disappointed on 3 of those occasions. The quality of the food is dreadful, fries were cold the chicken burger over cooked and...

The food here is very average for the price, it may be described in an elaborate way but burger and chips is just that. I think 13 and £14.50 for burgers in a pub is very expensive when you book a table and even still...

On my visit to the queen's I most shocked by the manager who was telling people not to drink in his pub and to wait for the other local pub to open then he carried on telling people that you should not use this pub...

I cannot praise this place enough. We have never had a single visit here that hasn’t been absolutely perfect … girls’ meal out … date night … family lunch … a gorgeous venue for all occasions. The staff are simply wonderful and so so attentive,...

Food is just amazing. Not first time visiting and all the time trying different dishes and not disappointed at all. Nice cold beers, ciders and ales. Quick service. Clean and warm place with great atmosphere. New menu launches soon will definitely go and try. Thank...

Visited on New Years Eve for a ticketed event, great service, splendid disco and Let's Abba Party singing and performing, a fantastic way to end 2021, good fancy dress by staff and several folks who attened.

Whole family enjoyed their meals and we received good service and enjoyed the friendly, welcoming atmosphere. The bar had a lovely range of gins and some interesting ales on tap. Would recommend.

Had lunches here the week it was ok. Went for a disappointing Sunday lunch. It was a very fatty topside of beef slightly over cooked . The veg was over cooked Yorkshire cold and over cooked, roast potatoes undercooked. Put a complaint in to waitress...

After fantastic Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve parties I can only praise Ash and his team for their effort in delivering such great events. Well done to all involved 👍

I attended with some friends and all their partners which was really first time since I can remember that we could all get together after another challenging year due to Covid. I have to say it was a fantastic night, the atmosphere was amazing! The...

Four of us dining but all meals very average and overpriced. Two lamb were overcooked and not enough gravy, vegetables also overcooked but broccoli very undercooked. Scampi and chips very basic. Nobody bothered to check back on our meals or seemed interested. Young man in...

The food was shocking..three of us eating and all extremely dissapointed with our dishes. Overcooked veg..soggy bubble and squeak..belly pork barely edible..overcooked. The egg was fine and the Doombar good. I will not eat at this pub again.

Visited the Queens Head for a Sunday lunch time drink, very busy and fully booked if you want a meal, staff are ok but seem a little abrupt when at the bar, but ok pub for a quick drink.
