My partner and I had a really great experience with this Pub, food was great with decent portions and the service exemplary. The very pretty young girl serving us was obviously extremely busy serving inside and out in the beer garden but still had the time and professionalism to be friendly, personal and attentive. Thanks.

A pretty much perfect Sunday lunch for 6 adults and 1 toddler. Our last two meals out have been complete disasters. Mother’s Day in March and my birthday in November had dreadful service and poor food, so I approached today prepared for the worst. However, the service and food were absolutely first class. We all had roast, and the portion sizes were very generous. The food was hot and there was a good range of vegetables cooked perfectly. We were given extra gravy without asking for it, and when the sauces came they arrived in full ramekins. A good range of desserts. My apple crumble was piping hot and deliciously deep. Service was excellent throughout. We were looked after by Freya who is a credit to the venue. Really efficient, checked the food was ok and generally couldn’t do enough for us. All in all, a superb lunch. We’ll be back.

Not what I remember it being unfortunately, a pleasant enough little local on a small green, food was hot and fresh but had better roasts in other places. The fish and chips were ok. No table service in the garden and no dogs inside. Not the most child friendly of gardens, right on the road and only a small chain link fence. Service was friendly enough.

We don’t seem to have much luck at the Queens. The ambiance and staff are good, but the food is quite expensive for pub grub and there is little consistency with the food you get if you order the same thing on different days. The prawn risotto is a good example. Sometimes you get a fair amount of rice and others it is quite mean - particularly at £21 an order. The fish pie is also quite small and the vegetables seem like an afterthought. The size of the fish and chips vary enormously ( a La crate portion) It’s a shame, but as long as they get enough covers in I don’t think they will change anything.

Previously visited the Queen's Head in July 2023, for lunch with friends. At the time we all thought it was a lovely pub, good service and food, helpful staff. We visited today 14th June 2024 and were disappointed. The staff did their jobs and were polite and thankfully not over effusive - that's a positive in my book. There was a VERY limited choice of draft bitter - only Doombar, in fact. As for the food.... I had soup which was watery and lacked flavour. I don't know, but it tasted like it had recently inhabited a tin! The "toasted bread and butter" had a suggestion of garlic butter but was served with a small pat of butter. Not sure what that's about! My friend and I had schnitzels which were dry and chewy - the portion of chips was "economical" and the salad little more than a suggestion. The coffee I had was good though and piping hot. If I'd been served this meal in a Wetherspoons, I'd have rated it "adequate" but for an independent pub I wasn't impressed. As an aside, I noticed that the smallish car park had plenty of space - last year I got the last space. In fairness, that could be coincidence but it was a Friday lunchtime. This pub is s bit like my old school reports - "could do better"....and it used to!

Food was good, although the chicken wing portion is very stingy for the price, mains were nice, good portion size. Friend had bruschetta, which it wasn't.. cherry tomatoes cut in half with basalmic vinegar on ciabatta bread.. My main gripe was the service, it took 20 mins to take our starter order (pub was virtually empty) received them nearly an hour after sitting at the table.. The young ladies serving were polite and friendly.. easily fixed, to make a better experience for next time.

I want to thank the staff at the Queens Head. I bought my Mum for her 80th birthday. We were a large chaotic party who ordered individually and changed minds frequently. The staff could not have been more patient and attentive, on one occasion even predicting that we had made an ordering mistake and correcting it themselves with no fuss at all. They were fantastic.

The service was efficient and attentive but slightly on the cold side. The staff members were friendly and smiling with each other, maybe share this with customers? I had fish and chips from the lunch menu, nicely presented and well cooked. Dessert and coffee were adequate. Not very many customers for a Friday and a quiet, awkward atmosphere which was not improved by piped muzak. Overall experience was satisfactory but unremarkable. Reminded me of an English seaside town - out of season, on a wet Monday.

First time here but went at the invitation of friends who have been there quite often. First impressions great as its a traditional pub with a very "Country local" feel about it, we had booked but there were enough tables free that we could pick where we sat and very quickly a waitress was with us to take drinks orders and deliver menu's. One of my friends wanted to swap the sweet potato fries to normal fries which he thought might require paying for an extra portion but the waitress was happy to do the swap The food when ordered came very quickly and everything was lovely, I had Portobello Mushroom to start which was lovely and Pork Belly for main which was was cooked to perfection. If I was to find anything to be negative about it was something that I think was a one off and that was that for a while a group of customers sat near us had a chap with a guitar which he started playing (sort of) that was annoying as it was making talking difficult. However it stopped quite soon (perhaps a staff member spoke to him) and they were no bother after that.

Having said that the staff were very pleasant, pity about the food.

We have now visited this pub a couple of times for Sunday lunch. The food is very average, some parts good, other parts not so good. When busy the service virtually stops and the food runs out. If you book tables all afternoon, you should cater for this. As a village pub, it speaks for itself when you see very few, if any, villager's, perhaps providing bad service and then applying a service charge, doesn't help! A Roast Sunday lunch should at least have roast potatoes not undercooked new potatoes as the roast ones had run out, and should not run out of Yorkshire puddings so early. When you read other reviews it seems that they run on low stocks of food and drink, if they could sort this out, sort out the service when busy, allow customers to pay what they think is a fair service charge and even maybe offer cauliflower cheese, they could turn this round in being the best roast in the area.

Fabian and his friendly team went out of their way to make sure our night was perfect. From their great selection of beers to the freshest food, Fabian spared no expense to make sure our guests were well extremely looked after. The warm and cozy pub is ideal for a cold winter night and the garden is gorgeous to sit in when the weather is good. Don't miss the Fish & Chips that rival the best restaurants in London, and the Steak & Ale pie and Mussels that our guests couldn't stop raving about.

Excellent ambience, friendly, welcoming and very helpful staff. The foregoing is a major plus as unfortunately, it goes downhill from there. We were a party of 10. Consequently, life being too short, I'm speaking for myself. The beers, from ale to lager, are Molson Coors, badged disaster brews. Sharps Brewers - 'Doom Bar' - was acquired in 2011 and the cask ale is now brewed in Burton. The brewing of 'Czech' Staropramen, on its acquisition by Coors in 2012, was ceded to Carlsberg. Ipso facto, it tastes nothing like the original, Prague brew. Classic beers now produced by arguably, the worst 2 brewers in existence. I chose the lesser of the evils and had a 'Doom Bar' - it was welcomingly well kept so took away some of my disappointment. The 'Carpese of Avocado' was fresh and a fair, basic dish, which augured well. The following main 'Local Belly of Pork', was a rank disappointment. Its crackling was passable but the flesh was dry. The whole was served on a base of mashed potato, which was OK but its accompanying glazed red cabbage, was grossly undercooked. Because of the latter failing, I ordered a mixed salad but that turned out to be a mistake. The unsliced but 'lumped' tomatoes, were inedibly unripe, no olive oil nor vinegar dressings were provided nor offered. I left it all unfinished, didn't dare a dessert and thanked my lucky stars that the double expresso was a welcome relief. My wife and I, shall not be returning.

Great pub. I’m involved with the Jazz Club X jazz jam on the 2nd Monday of the month at 6:30pm. Sam the manager has been very supportive in bringing in the crowds and I would recommend this pub to anyone who wants to organise an event. Their function room is a nice size and the bar / restaurant has a good range of drinks and food.
