The Queens Head in Wiltshire

Stayed one night and had dinner too. Everything was excellent; a warm and friendly welcome on arrival, a lovely, well-appointed room, a first class meal in the evening and a very good breakfast the following morning. A quiet and relaxing place to stay in a picturesque village. Really couldn't fault anything and thoroughly recommend.

What a find. We were looking for somewhere to stay for a friend’s wedding and we found the Queen’s Head. It’s super rare that you find such a wonder place to stay. Everything and I mean everything was simply amazing. Lovely welcome (with brownies), an amazing room, sublime food (both breakfast and dinner), amazing beer but most of all service standards off the charts. A particular shout out to Tilda - thank you.

Go every month for the quiz. Super cosy and great food.

Stayed two nights at this amazing establishment with my family while attending a family wedding. The manager and his staff are exceptional in all respects. The accommodation is clean, comfortable and very well appointed. We ate in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast and loved everything about the experience. We were extremely impressed with every aspect of this place and recommend it to everyone. We will certainly be back again soon and many times in the future. Thank you for everything.

We came here today for a Sunday Roast and start to finish it was absolutely smashing. I advise you book to ensure a table. The service and hospitality is truly exceptional, kudos to the staff of this establishment, they could teach a number of other establishments a thing or two about the long lost art of hospitality! Friendly greeting, sat, and drinks order in hand, we had the best Sunday roast we’ve had out in a very long time; meat (I had leg of lamb), veg, roasties, Yorkshire’s - all cooked beautifully and served hot on warm plates, with a generous serving, outstanding. Attentive staff without being overbearing, warm atmosphere, and everyone busy ensuring the service was running smoothly. We didn’t stay in the rooms, just here for food, but if their service upstairs is the same as downstairs, you’re in for a treat. Thank you for having the two of us and Bertie the dog for lunch, it was truly a pleasure! Don’t change a thing, it’s perfect.

Excellent! We turned up at 1pm on Easter Sunday, asked for a table and they found one, despite being fully booked. The service was prompt, the staff were efficient and jovial, the food was good and not expensive. Strongly recommended.

So lucky to be local! Joe (new manager) and staff looked after 8 of us brilliantly and Sunday roasts (lamb and beef) were as delicious and generous as always. Hake too, excellent with a child's fish and chips which went down a storm. Thank you for a great family get together. See you again soon.

We can highly recommend the Queens Head, excellent and friendly staff, very comfortable room and great food and atmosphere.

A wonderful surprise to find ourselves staying in the gorgeous, REAL, pub in the Broad Chalke. Room was spacious, bathroom products from Land & Water and the young staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. Food was excellent.

Couple of fishermen looking for somewhere to rest our heads. Great little pub in charming spot with excellent food and comfortable rooms at fair price. Very charming and efficient staff.

Amazing food, really comfortable rooms and gold stars on the Rude Giant IPA. Warmest thanks to all the staff - we had a great time staying with you 🌟

What a fabulous find. Stayed one night on our way to Cornwall and could definitely have stayed longer! From the warm welcome to the excellent food and service, and the gorgeous room, everything was spot on. If we lived in this village we would be regulars without doubt! 100% recommend a visit.

We have been to the Queen’s Head on numerous occasions. The Sunday Roasts and main menu meals are always fabulous, so last night we decided to try their Curry Night. Wow what a shock. Hands down it was the worst curry dishes we have ever eaten. The 3 of us who had curry ate a few mouthfuls and left the rest. They were inedible. The couple sitting next to us also had the curry and complained when asked how their food was. The sad thing is… if that had been my first visit to them I certainly would not be going back. Chef definitely needs to up the game drastically with the curry’s.

This is the second time we have eaten here and the difference was marked. First the good news: the service was excellent, the bar staff good, the range of beers and wines impressive. But the kitchen let them down. We ordered soup and scotch egg to start: the soup was far too gingery and burnt your throat. The main course were not cheap but the portions were small: my pork was £26 and I left still hungry. My wife's cod was drowning in a pea velouté which overpowered it. A shame because this pub is lovely: great location and a real sense of community. But I'm not sure we'll return.

The food would have been delicious had it been hot not lukewarm. An older member staff berated other staff members in front of customers, this is neither an acceptable way to treat the hardworking staff nor how to behave in front of customers

The Queen’s Head is everything you want in a pub—fantastic roast, warm and friendly staff, and a cozy atmosphere. Broad Chalke is stunning, with great walks nearby. Highly recommend!

Stayed one night and it was great. The room was very comfortable and plenty of space. Nice shower, toiletries and towels in the bathroom. Tea and coffee in the room with fresh baked biscuits on request. All food was delicious. We had the roast beef dinner which was plentiful and well cooked. Breakfast the next morning was also amazing - fresh fruit or yoghurt with granola and fruit compote, fresh pastries and then a huge full English breakfast. The ingredients are often from local suppliers. All staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, kind and efficient. We will definitely stay again and would thoroughly recommend.

Came for a family meal. Lovely homely atmosphere, log burner, food was excellent, my thanks to the chef and kitchen staff. Decent real ale as well.

Nice staff, lovely open fire, not a nice selection on bitters

We stayed the night here on a special DBB rate. Room was lovely, nice and warm and really well decorated and furnished, bed extremely comfortable and bathroom spotlessly clean. Jane and her team, very welcoming and we will definitely be back!

Poor service, inedible food, this place goes from bad to worse. Go to the Royal Oak Swallowcliffe or the Compasses Chicksgrove instead.

Forced to spend the night here after crashing my car in the snow. No mobile signal in the village, and the pub's Wi-Fi was next to useless. Only way I could contact anyone was on the pub's landline. Decided to pay the £117 to stay the night. The room was freezing cold and the TV had no reception. Unsure if the heating was broken, but I barely slept, it was so cold. Only stay here if you want a "back to the dark ages" experience!

Country pub in a quiet countryside village. Good food and a very nice atmosphere. Ideal sections of the bar to suit what level of intimacy you require. Interesting and rather odd choice of art works on the walls. Overall pleased and probably fabulous in Summer. FIDELSCASTROL.

In a time where everything feels like you’re being ripped off, this beautiful little B&B/pub was a welcome surprise. Genuinely great value for money where the little details stand out - decor, full English breakfast and cosy perfectly formed rooms being the highlights! Jane was a wonderful host who really looks after her guests and staff with real warmth and hospitality (again, becoming rarer and rarer).

Stopped of for a couple of drinks on are way home ,Nice country pub

We had the pleasure of staying at the Queens Head last evening and couldn’t have been happier! Our room was extremely comfortable and well appointed with lovely duvets, pillows and bed linen - an enormous tick for that! We were warmly welcomed by Jane, the General Manger who, along with her lovely team, went above and beyond expectations to make our stay special. We had a well cooked and tasty evening meal in the cosy bar with lovely log burners and candles with great local beer and even a scrumptious rabbit croquette as an added surprise! With an early start ahead the following day the chef came in ahead of shift to make us the most delicious bacon sandwiches for our journey! Food, drink and ambience but especially the exceptional customer service will have us running back. Thank you.

Great old pub. We had a lovely lunch here, looking after our 1st grand daughter whilst her Mum & Dad went to a wedding. The food was delicious, the staff were very friendly, with a good choice of drinks, they even had zero beer on draft. We would highly recommend this place to everyone

Stayed here on a two night DBB break. Good value and we had a lovely time. Room, food and service were all excellent and we would happily return.

Staff are extremely welcoming & friendly. The Sunday roast is obviously a massive hit - will be returning to try this out! On this particular occasion, we stopped for some chips and a pint after a fantastic 10km walk. Definitely worth the visit. The establishment looks modern & tastefully decorated. 10/10 from us!

Found the queens head on a whim. We went for a 2hr loop walk and were ready for a drink and chips! Had a lovely pint of crisp cider and beer! Chips were hot and crispy which hit the spot! Staff were lovely and welcoming! Wish we could have stayed longer! We will be back!

What a lovely pub. Great wood burners nice attentive staff and great menu. Has the Gammon steak. Not the usual thin dry stuff you usually get. It was thick, juicy and tender with a great flavour. Will be back!

We had a super time. Dinner, bed and breakfast were all perfect. The room was very comfortable. The food in the restaurant was excellent - an interesting and varied menu with delicious options for non-meat eaters. The service was impeccable and enthusiastic. The welcome felt entirely genuine. We will be back and want to try more Chickpea pubs.

We booked a table for Sunday lunch in this popular place. The meat was very good, potatoes and Yorkshires rather ordinary, and gravy minimal though the staff happily brought more (just not enough). We were a bit surprised that Shiraz was £40 a bottle. Friendly staff but against the yardstick of the truly magnificent Horseshoe just down the valley, the Queen's sadly comes up short.

Ordered Red mullet £24, it was very nice but there was no accompaniment! Had to order a side order at at an extra cost, and wine very expensive, and 12.5% service charge included in the bill, made this a very expensive lunch

We have just returned from a weekend break at the Queens Head. This was our 2nd break at a ChickPea Group pub and yet again they did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived were treated very well by the staff who were all committed to customer satisfaction. The pub itself is a wonderful building with a real fire and wooden beams complimented by rustic furniture full of character. We stayed for 2 nights and could not fault the rooms. A great selection of beers served in proper glasses with handle that came with expert advice from Ethan. Food was of the highest quality and when the morning came the breakfast was the best we have ever had- as with the evening meal full of flavour a credit to the Chef. As we previously mentioned this was our second stay at a Chick Pea Pub and our plan is to stay at as many as we can- no need to look anywhere else. Thank you to the team that looked after us and we look forward to our return.

We had a very enjoyable evening meal, good service and very tasty food.

We stayed for one night had had dinner. Accommodation was excellent, beautiful room and very comfortable Dinner was first class, scotch egg was unbelievable, fish and chips delicious crispy batter.

Lovely cosy atmosphere, friendly staff.

Yet another great visit . Decided to pop in early Friday evening with our new Schnauzer puppy . Chose the Beef and Ale Pie which was excellent . We've never had a poor meal , nice old pub with great staff ....well worth our 30 minute drive to get here .

Wonderful pub with pleasant family atmosphere. Food good but on the expensive side. If the restaurant is fully booked then a table at the bar is fine. The staff were excellent. Isabella in particular was bright and anticipated all our needs before we even asked. And Jane, the manager, really pleasant to deal with. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Wonderful Sunday lunch, really really yummy. Staff were very friendly and helpful, all round a fantastic experience.

We were staying in Broad Chalke for a week, so ate here twice. The first time was very good, the food was quickly served and was of a high standard. The scotch egg and the rarebit starters were particularly enjoyed, and the mains, especially the steak and the liver, were all good. The wine list has a range of interesting bottles at fair prices. The second time it was busier and the service was rather slow but the food still good. It's a characterful building with beams, old furniture, low lighting and plenty of atmosphere. You can have just a drink if you don't want a meal.

Location & ambience, spot on Choice of beer / wine, very good Starters, some nice ones to pick from Main course, sadly disappointing choice made with the beef pie, just so over seasoned with salt & rosemary to the point that one of the party could not eat it. To be fair, management removed the pie & the service charge. Come the winter best, bring a torch to read the menu as the lighting is very subdued. - Lovely place, jydt a bad choice on the main course on the night..

Popped in for lunch with family. Everything was absolutely perfect, the atmosphere is set perfectly, the staff are very friendly and happy to help and the food is to die for. The pub is beautiful found in the heart of Broadchalke After we ordered we were promptly brought foccacia and oils. We shared scotch eggs to start, I had the Pie. It was HUGE and of course all home made. My partner had the gnocchi special with a lamb sausage and heritage radish which was unique and well thought out, delicious also. Fish and chips and a ham egg and chips was also on the table but not for long! Desserts of white chocolate mascarpone with strawberrys were had with coffee in the rear garden to finish. We really enjoy the chickpea group and ensure we go to at least one each time we’re in the area. Head Chef Joey really knows what he’s doing with food! We look foward to returning.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Queens head, the refurbished room was everything we hoped for and the food is excellent.

Met a friend for lunch here on a very hot day. Attractive, peaceful courtyard with tables to eat lunch and chat. Enjoyed our lunch. Good food, only criticism being on such a hot day it would have been a bonus to have had an imaginative salad on the menu. The choice was more for cool weather. Attentive service. Pretty location. Would return.

We are staying locally so walk in for dinner tonight. Lovely village pub with outdoor seating areas front and back. Excellent service and some really great food. Would recommend. We had two mains, a side and three drinks - £70. We also came back two nights later. I recommend the Rude Giant IPA, and the burger was excellent.

Had our first, and hopefully not last, experience of lunch at the QH today (29th July) and enjoyed it immensely. The young lady behind the bar looked after us magnificently and is an absolute asset to the business 👍 I would also point out that the meal was accompanied by the most amazing home baked bread and I would have gladly paid to take some of it home……so tasty ! Great food, great service and we’re so glad we ‘happened upon’ the pub whilst out for a drive. We’ll be back…..,.

Their gammln pie is absolutely devine! A little bit pricy though.

We had a fantastic stay at The Queens Head. Lovely room, excellent beer, amazing food and ever attentive and friendly staff. The location is very rural and yet perfect to explore Wiltshire, Dorset and Hampshire. We would strongly recommend.

We stayed for one night and had dinner and breakfast. It was a Sunday night and the dinner was good, but fairly average. We asked for a couple of cocktails that weren't on the drinks menu, which we got and were absolutely brilliantly executed! Breakfast was extremely good - a cold and cooked selection, lots of coffee, all really well done. Staff were all lovely and the room was very nicely furnished, clean, very comfortable bed and high end finishing touches. Couldn't have been better.

this pub gets better and better! delicious food, brilliant atmosphere, friendly staff and a wonderful paddock out front, perfect for a picnic lunch (provided by QH) in the sunshine :) very lucky to have as our local

A delightful experience in every way. Lovely rooms, excellent service and delicious food. Happy to recommend one hundred percent.

What a delightful place to have lunch. I met my sister as it was sort of halfway between where we live. We enjoyed a very tasty lunch, I had the nut roast and my sister had the chicken and salad, great service, lovely decor, beautiful setting. Couldn’t fault it. Thank you! We will be back.

Last orders 10:30. Wanted a drink but no chance. Not likely to last with this attitude.

Have visited multiple times for drinks, and the revamp has been nailed. Finally stayed last night and the room was fantastic, clean, comfortable and spacious. Breakfast included which was a huge plus. Continental style offered alongside a whole cooked menu, fantastic offering. Will definitely be back 😊

Food was unexpectedly and disappointingly poor. Service was ok, but had to ask 3 times for my drink Side salad was just a bowl of endives, not a tomato or dressing in sight I thought the Chickpea group had it nailed but maybe they’re concentrating on expanding to quickly

Delicious Sunday lunch with excellent service from start to finish. The roast beef was very tender and the vegetables and gravy were perfect. I would definitely recommend The Queens Head to other travellers ..a top rate pub.

Food was average and nothing special, if anything was overpriced and portions too small. Tips included in the bill? No thank you, this isn’t America, pay your employees properly. If you can’t, when charging the prices you do, then you have other problems. £8 for one scotch egg? £23 for some chewy overcooked pork? Will not be returning for the food.

High quality, un-pretentious, fabulous service. Nothing but love for this place, what a gem

Beautiful and delicious food, stuff are very attentive and the location is great .

Had a lovely dinner with friends. Would return.

Comfortable room and wonderful food - with super service.

Beautiful building, the staff were great with us and our dog, lovely wine, the food was top quality cooked to perfection. Very dog friendly. Will definitely have to come back soon for another nut roast!

We had a lovely meal here. Better quality food than I've tasted outside a redtaurant , combined with warm hearth, and old English pub charm.

Only called in for lunch, so no idea about the rooms, but given the experience we had I would expect they’re good. Lunch was excellent as was the service. Will be calling in again.

Incredibly cosy and inviting pub for Sunday Lunch. Rich green walls, hops adorning the bar, flickering candlelight. To top it all off the roast was 10/10. I had the nut roast which was delicious and my partner had the sirloin which melted in the mouth, all of the trimmings were exceptional and the potatoes crispy and fluffy (hallelujah!). Would definitely recommend and hope to be back to experience the bedrooms and dinner offering.

I was down in England for work and saw this place in booking.com. The pictures were nice but they didn't make justice. The room was impeccable, every detail well attended. The staff made me feel welcome and always caring with a smile. Benny eggs, a must!

Very nice place, very pleasant. Warm welcome and good bedding.

I am a frequent visitor to the QH and have had many enjoyable experiences there over the past year. The staff are “go out of the way” helpful and attentive and always find a table somewhere for us. They had a Thai Food night last night and while I was expecting a fairly usual affair, with the slightly obvious “Green Chicken Curry and shop bought crackers” I got a completely different experience. I have eaten Thai food all over the world and would say I can recognise good from bad….this was simply exceptional. Everything was a cunningly crafted and a sensory delight, that would have looked at home in Mayfair, SoHo, Sydney or Bangkok. I can not praise the chefs highly enough and I can thoroughly recommend “Thai Night” becomes a regular fixture. Awesome, thank you and well done!

I once met Sir Terry Pratchett and during our conversation he told me The Queen's Head was his favourite pub. I immediately decided that should the opportunity arise, I would visit The Queen's Head for a pint. Well thank you Sir Terry and thank you Queen's Head for living up to the recommendation. We had the pint, then we had dinner and stayed for the night. The pub itself is lovely, low-roofed, charming, the very essence of a small village pub. The food was excellent, our room was excellent, the hospitality and our treatment by the staff was of such a high standard I can only assume they suspected we were mystery shoppers, or part of some 'Undercover Boss' style reality show. Highly recommend.

Lovely country pub, good food, great with kids.

Didn’t stay but superb food and great service in a cosy and friendly pub! Can’t fault it, dogs welcome and new favourite!

Welcoming, friendly and beautiful inside with a lovely rear patio. A great pub!

We recently moved to a village a few miles away and despite having three closer pubs we absolutely love the Queens Head, our dogs are always made welcome, the staff are lovely, food is always amazing and “proper “ home made food, however, for us it’s that it still remains a real pub, we can sit at the bar and enjoy a drink and a chat. Please don’t change.

We really enjoyed our dinner. Food was delicious and staff really friendly. Two of our party had allergies and specific dietary requirements and they were really helpful in accommodating them. We had marked up menus on arrivals so we knew what we could have and they were wonderful handling any additional queries we had. I would highly recommend.

We had the Sunday Roast here, and we both agreed it was likely the best we've ever had. The starters were lovely as well, the stout and marmite onion welsh rarebit being a highlight. Great location and attentive staff. We'll be back in the Summer hopefully.

We stayed 3 nights at this charming spot. The staff were lovely and the food not bad either! Be warned though, the portions are large. Mt beef and ale pie would have served two.

Had a great one night stay on the DB&B which was exceptional value. The thing that sold it for us was the fact that extra roast potatoes, veg and Yorkshire puddings are listed on the menu as £0! I’ve been to some places where you have to pay extra for them in the first place! We both had the fried Brie followed by roast beef which left us stuffed!! Good local beer on tap and the breakfast was plentiful and very tasty. Lovely clean and warm room in the adjacent building. Staff were all polite and attentive and spoke highly of the family behind the chain (Chickpea, which a few other pubs in the south Wiltshire area). Definitely worth a visit for food or to stay.

We had an excellent one night D,B&B stay. The pub is full of attractive traditional features and has an convenient car park to the rear. The staff were welcoming and helpful, both for dinner and breakfast which were much enjoyed. We are planning to return soon.

Recently stayed in one of the beautiful rooms at the Queens Head and went down for dinner to try their menu. The decor is beautiful and timeless, a truly cosy British pub with the friendliest staff. We ordered the chicken supreme and the lamb shank, both dishes were packed full of flavour and were great portion sizes. Cannot fault this wonderful place and already looking forward to coming back.

Our first visit. Excellent atmosphere, service and above all food. Six of us and not one plate of disappointing food. Look forward to visiting to sit outdoors in the well designed patio area when the weather is good. Well just look forward to going back!

Simply outstanding in every way. The accommodation was most tastefully decorated and extremely comfortable. Both supper and breakfast were of the highest quality, beautifully prepared and nicely served. The atmosphere was welcoming, lively, interested and interesting. Top class.

Great atmosphere lovely relaxing wood burner candles on an absolutely horrific weather made you feel welcome ! Great staff and service nothing too much trouble and excellent food what more could you wish for ! Highly recommended!

I visited with friends for two nights last weekend. The room, service and food were all superb. It was such a treat to get a full English breakfast cooked to order. The sausage and bacon were absolutely delicious and everything was cooked to perfection. We loved our Friday night dinner so much that we decided to repeat the experience again on the Saturday night. The second dinner was as delicious as the first. There was a good choice of starters, mains and desserts without being too overwhelming. The staff were lovely and nothing was too much trouble. The vibe was relaxed and friendly. We loved it. Thanks so much. We will be back.

Beautiful restaurant and bar, lovely menu, well presented and delicious food. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening meals, highlights being the rose veal liver and the cheeky little starter rarebit on toast with crab! Overnight stay in a comfortable room. Breakfast was so good, even though ordered the half breakfast, the portion size was large. Excellent quality and service throughout. A great destination for an overnight treat.

Fabulous country pub with a great atmosphere; beautifully refurbished by the Chickpea Group. We had a very enjoyable family supper - delicious food and friendly staff. This is hospitality at its best.

Great room in idyllic village pub. Whilst the room was great, the breakfast included in the room rate was outstanding and if that’s anything to go by then suspect the lunch/dinner food will be equally good. Staff all friendly and welcoming. All in all, an...

Fantastic lunch after a lovely local walk. The menu was full of tempting options - great quality ingredients cooked really well. All the food was super tasty. Service was great. It's a lovely place to go - I would definitely recommend.

Noah, my 13 year old son said, "Best burger ever!". And it did look delicious but I think the Sunday roast topped it. Literally don't recall ever having had such good beef. Vegetables were superb too. It's definitely a treat, but we shall return!

Golden nugget. The staff are unsurpassed in their welcome. New rooms are tip top. Wonderfully comfortable beds and brilliant showers. Food excellent. Don5 go here if you are looking for stress
