The Queens Head in Chelmsford

Not been hear since pandemic began but pleased to say its got even better with a lovely outside covered seating area. Service friendly as ever and the food is fresh, simple tasty and generous……try the gammon.

The Queens Head is a traditional pub selling a good selection of reasonably priced food and drink. The staff are polite and attentive without being overbearing and the service is good. Food is freshly cooked and portions are generous.

Hats off to Max and Jess for the massive changes they've made to make the Queens Head a safe and comfortable place to be during these challenging times. The staff are welcoming and the food is still delicious pub meals with an excellent choice on the menu. Drinks are reasonable priced as is food. The garden has plenty of tables, well spaced out, and a brand new sheltered area with heaters.

Old fashioned village pub (adjoining church), serving properly kept “real ale”, tasty home cooked unpretentious grub, pleasant friendly staff and a welcome for “drop in” visitors as well as locals. Could hardly be bettered!

Family pub that has good selection of beers and wines also a choice of very good home cooked meals. They also have beer festivals

We often pop to the queens head boreham it brillant for food great price the portions are very good very friendly staff i truley recommend it here :)

Tucked away down a small side road, next to the church, this pub isn't easy to find from the road. Good choice of ales on tab and a wide choice of pub grub. Food is freshly cooked with good portion sizes. Note food only served on certain days and times (check their website)

Went here for a lunchtime drink last week and as it was a nice day decided to go outside into the beer garden - wow what a transformation from the last time I ventured outside a couple of years ago. The garden is large enough and had a nice section to watch the football if required. It is also dog friendly. The service was excellent and all drinks were great. I’ll be back soon.

I've dined at the Queens Head regularly for many years and have never had a bad meal. The food is freshly cooked, delicious and very reasonably priced. The staff are pleasant and you don't have to wait too long for food. Would recommend anyone who likes home cooking to come and try the Queens Head.

Visited for a family pre-Christmas meal at lunchtime 3 courses for £19.95 each Starters ok-pate good Main courses-4 turkey roast dinners-not that good After several recommendations very disappointing-frozen roast potatoes-lukewarm mash-suspected turkey roll not real Desserts-Christmas pudding over microwaved Don’t waste your money...!!!

Visited friends in Springfield, they had been recommended to go here so took us. Quaint little village , the pub would be missed easily if you didn’t know it was there, tucked behind a Church. Difficult to park outside but we found a space in the road nearby. Didn’t feel warmly greeted but a table had been reserved and we were asked to go and sit down. Nobody showed us to the table and you have to go to the bar to get your drinks. A young girl came and took our order - roasts were pork and chicken, a couple of veggie options and a home made steak and kidney pie. 3 courses are £10.95. Your starters are pate, soup and garlic bread. The soup was delicious as was the pate. Two of us had pork which was not great. One of the party didn’t get roast potatoes so we had to ask for them. A bowl of mixed vegetables which you serve yourselves to. Fairly busy, the place is old fashioned but the food was hot and edible. Wouldn’t rush back, it was just OK.

The Queens Head chooses to go for the "cheap and pile it high" option for the food it serves up. Such a shame when the village of Boreham has a quality butchers plus lots of local fruit and veg grown close by. The Landlady/cook does her best but don't expect too much. Mind you for under £8 for a main course I guess some will think it's good value. Try not to get a table in the "dining room" next to the ladies toilet or your meal will be permanently disrupted. There is a good selection of beers available. Best of all though is all is served begrudgingly. The pub is run by the most unwelcoming team I've ever met. Parking is fairly nonexistent. So many pubs closing across the UK. How long has this dinosaur got left? Essex has some great pubs please go support one of the great ones and leave this one to fester.

Visited with friends for a lazy Saturday afternoon. On entering, first impression was good. Old style wooden tables and chairs, cozy bar and popular with friendly locals. Bar staff attentive and friendly. Good range of beers and real ale. We ordered food from the sandwich menu which was tasty and reasonably priced. Daily meal specials also on offer. Will definitely return if in the area.

Have eaten here many times when visiting family nearby and the home cooked food with an ever changing specials board is excellent. Don't expect a fancy gastropub experience, the Queens is a local village pub with good pub food , large portions of tasty well cooked food . Took a large party there prior to my son's wedding and everyone really enjoyed it , great atmosphere ,very reasonable prices , everything a traditional pub should be !

Good food,very reasonable prices.Didn't have to wait long even though they were busy.Would like to go back and try their Sunday Lunch.

Extremely disappointed from start to finish. No parking nearby Only 3 starters to choose from and they had run out of one of them. The roast beef mains was also very disappointing. Will definitely not be returning

Este es uno de nuestros lugares favoritos después de correr en poco Baddow. Estábamos todos comer y beber muy rápidamente, teniendo en cuenta que había unos cuantos diners ya allí.

£10.95 for 3 courses, starters wasn't that good I had pate and hubby had soup. the dinner was good I had roast chicken and hubby had steak n kidney pie. The desert was just ok hubby had apple pie and custard and said it was...

Escondido detrás de la iglesia en la cabeza de Boreham, Queens es un pub tradicional con buenas cervezas y ofrece excelente comida casera 'pub.

Having pre-booked our food the owners said we would all get our food quickly and we did! It was a lively evening and the food was delicious. One thing we really liked was the fact that the vegetables were served in separate dishes and the gravy was very tasty. There was plenty on tap to drink plus wines. We put the road name in our sat nav so just drove a bit further and there it was next to the church.

The queens head is hard to find. Just by the church but sat nav doesn't really get close enough. Take the turning which looks like someone's drive and it's at the end.Great roast dinner and garlic bread. Dessert of crumble nice too. All for £10.95. Bargain. Service is good. This is a tradition old style pub. We liked it.

This gem of a pub is hidden away and long may it remain hard to find as it seems to do well from those in the know and with good reason. First and foremost it is a pub with two small bars and a garden. The beer is always good with constantly changing guest beers. This is no gastro pub but the food is home made and great value for money especially with what you can pay on the main Boreham road.

If you want good pub grub in a friendly atmosphere then the Queens Head is the place to go. Have lived in the village for 20 years. Go at least once a week for a meal. Sunday lunches are huge and tasty at a very reasonable price. No fancy frills just good wholesome food.

Food is homemade apparently however the quality of ingredients leaves a little to be desired. Very fatty meats, burnt spuds, lumpy gooey gravy, frozen starters.All four of us left our meals and then were given dirty looks by the landlady until we left. Wasn't made comfortable to stay for a drink.It's a shame there are no other drinking pubs in the village to show the owners how to treat their customers.

Had mid-week dinner here (note food not available Monday & Tuesday currently). Décor and ambiance is typical small country pub, you can feel the history in the place. Quite cosy inside, but friendly staff and usually a couple of guest ales on tap. Good pricing.

The locals are lovely but owners made us all feel very unwelcome. Wouldn't recommend to anyone who wants a laugh, you get told off for being too loud. Good choice of beers and food is average.Shame the land lady couldn't be polite and pleasant to anyone other than those she knows well. Monopoly of the area has given way to manners.

this is a good village pub serving good wholesome food at very reasonable prices. The staff are friendly and work very hard. This is a family run pub serving good beers and they run beer festivals, quiz nights have outdoor garden etc. well recommended

Called in today for lunch & bowled over by the friendly staff & customers, a breath of fresh air in a troubledworld. Great food & drinks & pet friendly too, what's not to like, we love it. Dave & Sue plus our pets.

Really friendly pub where you can meet some of the local villagers. Food is home made and delicious, with good generous portions. Lovely homemade desserts, but unfortunately we have not yet had room to try one. Really nice family run pub.

Its a lovely pub but it needs just a little more liveliness at the weekends for the younger locals or maybe every other weekend! Also needs to serve Peroni as beers are limited choices.

One of the few remaining ‘proper pubs’, visited for a Friday lunchtime casual drink with 4 old friends (all approaching 65), chose the Queens as pretty central for us and the other’s in the area are restaurants. We were all very glad we did, it was so nice to be in a proper traditional local pub with real ale’s, friendly jovial staff and locals who would chat and have a laugh with us, some of us had a meal, there were several options, I had ham egg and chips which was very nice and ample size for £6.50.We all came away thinking this is a good place for our reunions and intend going back (many times).

Tables too cramped together in a small snug. No decent wines, food basic and homemade which seems to attract locals, but lacked flavour and wow factor. When visiting the bar, it was off putting to have the 'tap room' in sight and hearing, very course, loud men mainly and bad language.

A very friendly and welcoming place to eat same great food; always tasty and served swiftly. Lovely beers and wines too. Well worth a visit!

Love visiting The Queens Head when we're staying at The Mill house caravan park in Little Baddow. Good food, Aspall on tap, friendly staff and locals. Even got invited to join in with the local Cribb group one Sunday lunchtime

Visited with a friend for a few bottles of wine in the beer garden. It's everything you want from this type of pub. It has its little quirks and old English charm. It's clean and tidy with very friendly staff, on my next visit I'll definitely be trying the food it looked very good when it was being served.

Getting toward then close of food business, we turned up unannounced and asked if we could order. The helpful barman said we were welcome to order and so we did. The pub obviously prides its in good service and keeps a good stock of local beer too.Note: You need to be very alert to find the Queens Head. It is to the right of the Church if you stand in the road outside facing the church. Almost impossible to see from the road or on Google it is well worth searching out.

Паб расположен рядом с церковью. Паб небольшой, но очень уютный. Еда отличная, все вкусно. Посетителей много.

We were greeted by a very friendly and welcoming bar lady, the menu isn't massive but the meals are!!!! And the food was lovely, didn't take long for our food to arrive and we didn't feel like we were being rushed out of the place when we had finished. Def recommend

This is a brilliant English Village Pub! from the pleasant staff to the welcoming regulars you know your in a nice pub.The meals we had were superb and big in size,will return as soon as we can on our travels.

We decided on an impromptu trip out for Sunday lunch and were very pleased we chose The Queens Head. Lovely old fashioned pub with lovely old fashioned food. Everything is home made and my roast dinner was as close to home cooked as you could get. It's not the first time we've eaten there and it definitely won't be the last. Absolutely lovely!!

Have had several meals here now. Each one was a wholesome home cooked simple dish.They always seem to have a vegetarian option on the simple menu of about half a dozen choices. The restaurant part of the pub is quite small (about 30 covers). A very friendly and accommodating staff. Difficult to find, is up a tiny lane to the left of the church in a picturesque location in the old village.Well worth a village.

We love the Queens Head. It's a home away from home . Always made welcome by the owner and a home cooked meal . Love it !

This was a lovely pub to sit down and enjoy a real ale with your friends . The lady at the bar was very smiley and cheerful.

This is a charming little pub off the beaten track in Boreham next to the village church. The staff are friendly and welcoming. We had eaten here before during the week and thoroughly enjoyed our homecooked lunch of chicken and ham pie with lovely chips and salad. However, we were very disappointed to eat here on a Sunday. The menu was very limited, but did include several choices of roast dinner. The main course was okay, and that's about as best as I can say. Dessert was a real cheek - £3.95 for 4 small profiteroles, the same price for three small scoops of uninspiring basic ice cream. I could forgive the mediocre food but the prices were certainly not what I would expect to pay for that standard of cooking.
