Recommended to come here for great pub food, atmosphere and friendly service - all delivered on and more. We had pies and full of lots of meat and vege. Daughter had chicken nuggets which were proper big pieces of real chicken - what more could you ask for.

We stumbled across this pub in the middle of nowhere for a meal on our way home from Kent. What a discovery! Warm welcome, great service and large portions of well cooked food. Definitely 5 star and seemed to be well supported by the local community.

Living abroad and only visiting the UK once a year trust me this pub is an absolute must! Wonderful and well presented food- locally sourced fish being a speciality - complimented by an impressive selection of well maintained real ales. What more could you wish for? Thoroughly recommended.

What a shame . After visiting The Queens Head many times over the years and always enjoying it, unfortunately, last night will be the last. We arrived as 1930 for a 1945 booking to be told they have to take our order now as kitchen closing so we couldn't have a drink first. We sat at a wonky table I had to prop up myself and as soon as we sat, the waitress was there. I explained we didn't want to be rushed we are on rare night out having 3 kids at home and both working and I explained we are happy to come back another night if it's better, the waitress replied no worries it will be fine. After we ordered 5 min later our starters came out, but there no issue with the food yet. I was still eating and had at least half of my white bait starter left when a different young girl came up and asked if I had finished. I replied no I'm still eating. As soon as I had finished she apeard agai and cleared the plates and about 2 minutes later the mains where in front of us. I had the mixed grill but unfortunately, the steak was very well done, and I couldn't eat it I asked for medium rare, and the chicken steaks were both tiny and too dry to eat. We had paid and left with in 50 minutess of sitting down barely having time to even finish a pint of guiness the evening and food was rushed and we felt unwelcome and rushed out the door as well as being bloated because we were hurried along. Having paid by a voucher we received for Xmas we felt it was a waste of famies money to be there and back within one hour and now we need a new go to place as we won't be going back

Nice old pub set back from the main road between Rye and Hastings. The menu was extensive and included old fashioned dishes that are rare to see such as herring roes ( delicious) and liver and bacon. I can’t believe I am saying this but my only complaint is that the dishes are enormous. My starter was the size of a main course and the main ( lamb pie and veg) was enough for 2-3 people. . It was just a bit overwhelming and sadly I had to leave a lot. They must have a huge amount of food waste or perhaps the locals know not to eat anything for 24hrs. All very tasty and good service .

No booking necessary on this occasion, just rolled up, bought a drink, looked at the menu, ordered food, sat down and enjoyed ample sized & reasonably priced fare… Staff were efficient and friendly… on a warmer day we could have sat outside & enjoyed the views across the Pett levels to Rye , or the rolling fields surrounding.

I booked the Queens head to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. They provided a suitable area that could accommodate 16 people comfortably. Due to our large party the pub wanted our orders a few days before and this certainly helped with the efficiency of out orders coming out together. The food was absolutely delicious and plentiful and such good vaule. The staff were attentive, polite and very friendly. Thank you so much to all the staff for making this a wonderful evening.

We have previously enjoyed meals here with friends and the standard has always been fairly consistent and good. Sadly, today the standard dipped noticeably. Admittedly it was busy, but we had prebooked well in advance. There was confusion about our booking when we arrived which carrried through when different staff served us. Two of the main courses were not particularly hot when they arrived and the fish very salty and dry. We were kept waiting a very long time between the main course and order being taken for pudding which was mediocre and pretty tasteless. Dogs are admitted with their owners, but this can be intrusive and unwelcome for other customers when they dogs yapping and/or sniffing round other people's tables. I don't think we will be returning in a hurry.

An excellent lunch with friends. There's a very good choice on the menu (my wife had the lamb chops and I had the mix of fish, both of which we can certainly recommend). The food is well presented and delicious. The portion sizes are more than ample and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The outdoor tables have excellent views across the countryside to Rye. Parking is available and the restaurant is both wheelchair and pushchair friendly. Can certainly recommend

Even though we didn't think to book we were very lucky as the staff were very accommodating & sorted us a table. They do quite a selection on the menu but we all chose the Roast Dinner. I had the Roast Lamb which came with all the trimmings home cooked roast potatoes (which were he best I've had in a restaurant!) 3 veg & Yorkshire pudding. The Lamb was absolutely lovely & just melted in your mouth & you get a very generous portion. The pub itself has a lot of character. The staff are very nice, polite & nothing too much trouble.I would highly recommend it here even has amazing views from the beer garden

Worth every moment, a smile as we entered the bar with friendly service. The food was exceptional, a proper homemade steak and ale pie with beef that simply melted (not to mention the proper button mushrooms that were inside too!) Vegetables cooked to perfection, and new potatoes that tasted like they’d come fresh from the garden this morning.My fiancé had the Cajun chicken burger - Again beautifully presented, a burger made of fresh chicken breast seasoned in house (none of this bought in stuff!) Absolutely flawless, we have every intention of coming back!

Friends had told us about this place so we drove there on a Saturday it's a little bit difficult to pull into but we'll worth it. The staff were nice and although we had not booked were able to find us a table for two. We waited a little while for somebody to take our order but we were not in a rush and took in the surrounding while we waited. The professor ordered the burger and I ordered the slow roast belly of pork with chips and vegetables as I don't like mash and some extra vegetables. The burger was big and came with bacon and cheese, lovely coleslaw and salad and a very large portion of chips. My pork belly was beautiful unfortunately trying to crisp up the crackling under the grill i think part of it was burnt but that did not detract from the meal only if you like crackling like i do. Again this came with beautiful fresh vegetables and again a huge portion of chips. We were unable to have a dessert as our belts were stretched, but left with a chip doggy box. Would recommend this to all our friends and will be back soon .

Monday 6th July looking for somewhere to eat we turned into Parsonage Lane, Icklesham for a spot of lunch. It was only 12.20 and there quite a few in the Garden already having a meak and a drink. We were most warmly welcomed and chose one of the few unreserved tables inside. Although very busy we were asked our order straight away. I cannot praise the waitress enough. My cod and chips were excellent but my wife found the all day breakfast not to her liking. Altogether with a 0% alcohol Becks beer £26. Lovely views from where we sat. I recommend this Pub.

Staff didn’t really have what it takes to run a pub. Dour personalities, flat greeting. Having been advised our meals would take a while (even though it didn’t look busy) we asked for some bread and butter while we were waiting, only to be told that would stress out the kitchen/ hold things up! We were though, offered the option of buying crisps. All ordered burgers (four of us) but, when they eventually turned up, they were not nice at all. We were asked if we wanted any condiments, and we asked for mustard and mayonnaise. We were given a minuscule pot of Mayo between the four of us and a whole jar of mustard. The other way around would have been far more appropriate. None of us finished our meals....there were mixed opinions of the burgers, but a unanimous decision on the terrible, salty bacon! The dogs were happy to eat the burgers tho. All in all a real disappointment and would not recommend at all. Steer clear....

Popped in here with the wife and kids tonight, only because my favourite places were all shut, the landlord suggested I try the Abbot ale, I'm glad I did, a very well kept ale indeed( I needed to try 3 more just in case), food was very good,all round a very pleasant evening, staff were great too, we shall be returning. Rating9/10

Usually our local place to enjoy a lovely lunch or evening meal with friends on many occasions in the past !!!Unfortunately on this occasion our party of 4 including myself ! All disappointed in the food Burgers were tasteless, my minted lamb chops seemed to lack the full veg etc it always has before on every occasion I’ve had it !! NOT the usual standard of the Queens Head usually plenty of food and a friendly service , our waiter was also unhelpful & miserable I don’t know why he even turned up for work ! Will definitely be giving it a miss a trying some other venues in the future.D. Penfold

Delicious food, attentive, helpful staff and Covid safe. What more could you want? The portion sizes are plentiful and good value for money. Even inn these troubled times there was a full menu. I would recommend the Queens Head Inn to anyone in the area looking for somewhere to eat. However, as space is limited I would recommend that you book your table in advance to make sure you can get in.

We stopped off for lunch with the family last Sunday. Upon arrival it was nice to find plenty of parking. We were greeted at the door and quickly seated. The restaurant was laid out with social distancing in mind and there was plenty of room between the tables. We looked over the menus of which there was a nice selection to choose from. Orders were promptly taken and the drinks and food followed not long afterward. We all chose a mixture of Sunday roasts and steak with chips which were cooked well and tasted great. Highly recommended.

We had a takeaway delivery during lockdown 2.0 and really enjoyed it. Delivered promptly and well presented. Delicious battered fish and a tasty burger. Excellent value.

Popped in as my daughter fancied a prawn sandwich. Most other pubs have limited menus. Not here full menu on offer. She wasn’t disappointed, chunky brown bread stuffed full of prawns along with salad and crisps. Wife had ploughman’s I had deep fried Camembert. All excellent. They have made an excellent job of segregating tables with stained glass screens !!!! Very hospitable and offered testers to find an excellent hoppy Local IPA. Let’s hope the screens don’t have to stay much longer well done

At lunch time on 14.10.20. my wife and I made a superb find. Easy parking.The sanitisation arrangements were clearly marked out and really excellent - making you feel very safe. We found the service and food to be of a really high standard, so much so we went back today and have booked for tomorrow. If we are ever in this locality again we will certainly return. So The Queens Head has our highest possible recommendation and we are grateful to them for making our break in this area even more enjoyable. As an added extra our two small dogs were made very welcome. Many thanks.

We popped in to the Queens Head as we was passing through. Well what can I say. Very friendly atmosphere with very good service. Covid safe. Food was large portions and exceptional. Just wish we lived closer.

We had a lunchtime drink in the garden and were impressed by the good beer, friendly service and Covid precautions in place.We booked a table for that evening, my wife very good fish & chips I had tasty liver & bacon.The portions were large and the prices were reasonable.Each table has screens with leaded plastic windows so you do not feel closed in.We found the service very friendly & attentive, we were served by a middle aged chap with a good sense of humour who clearly enjoyed his job.I guess some reviews criticising the service relate to other staff.

Been twice to this pub. The first time was a lovely sunny day 4 weeks ago. We waited at the door to have our temperature taken and to be seated...... There was a group of 5 people in the queue in front of us and they had booked a table. There was an old waitress and an old waiter who walked passed us several time, not even acknowledging us or even saying the standard "will be with you in a tick" Nothing!! when me and my husband did eventually get to sit in the marquee to have a drink the old waiter who served us was very miserable and obviously didn't want to be there! Service was slow, so just had the 1 drink and left. However we went back yesterday for lunch as we had heard that the food was lovely, so giving it a 2nd chance, we booked a table. When we got there (and having our temperature taken) we were shown to our table which was as far at the back of the restaurant you could possibly go (eve though we walked past many empty tables in the main part of the pub which were much nicer) I just knew that we'd be forgotten out the back! and I was right! No table check! (we would have asked for more drinks) At the very end of our meal a waitress was clearing a nearby table and saw us, so beckoned her over and asked for fore drinks, and more salt (even though it was a bit late as I had almost finished my meal, and my husband had long finished his) I had to ask for the bill on the way back from the toilet as no-one came to check on us. The dirty plates were still on the table when we left. Such a shame as they have all the correct Covid rules in place and very organised in that way and the food was lovely but the lack of friendliness and service would put me off going back.

We visited for the first time since covid. We were so impressed with the effort and cleanliness of the pub. Our temperature was taken on arrival and our details logged. It was really comforting. There has been enormous effort put in to keep safe distances and it was wonderful to sit in the beautiful garden and enjoy our first beer in a very long timeIan ( the owner ) came out and had a chat and welcomed us and the rest of the team were friendly and warmWell done all, and thank you, B&J x

Visited this pub over weekend. Visited a few years ago, not at all as remembered. Shabby, dirty outdoor tables. Quite surprised when bill arrived and charged £3.80 for a Ribena carton and £3 for an orange squash for children.

Felt secure, cared for (? not been out months) and valued. Good selection of beers & ciders, wide ranging & extensive “Covid restricted” menu. Excellent mixed fish and chips. Will be back for more, for sure.

Went for meal yesterday. Social distancing amazing. Food was amazing as well. We had Steak,Ale and mushroom pie certainly recommend it and sure will go back to have it again. Staff were really good all wearing face shields. They were very pleasant, we had to wait a little bit which wasn't a problem as they were very busy but nothing was too much trouble for them. Certainly recommend eating here. Well Done to all the staff.

Was passing through the area after work and thought I'd give the Ship a go for dinner. My meal was excellent! And I was served by a lovely lady called Sydney, what was a spur of the moment decision that turned out to be a real pleasure. Will not hesitate to recommend and will be sure to return.

Coffee shop located inside Tescos. Seems to suffer problems with its dishwasher they have an official sign printed to state it’s out of order. Staff seemed more interested in preventing people sitting down from 1 O’clock on a Sunday. Did have the misfortune to go there for a coffee once and find due to a problem with their machine no coffee was available. Shame I never knew before my 2 mile walk to get there.
