The Queens Head in Wiltshire

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!

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.

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.

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 .

Lovely cosy atmosphere, friendly staff.

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

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.

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.

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 .

Comfortable room and wonderful food - with super service.

Had a lovely dinner with friends. Would return.

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

Very good lunch. Choice and portions a tad on the small side but food and service excellent. Not cheap but you get what you pay for these days. We shall return soon I am sure. Very friendly staff. We felt valued clients

This is a lovely pub, beautifully done up and with a great atmosphere, but we were quite disappointed with our lunch. Two mains, one pudding, two pints and a glass of wine was £78!! My husband’s pie was delicious (although surely a pie shouldn’t cost...

A very welcoming experience. Lit with tall candles on every table and a well lit wood burner the pub was warm and cozy. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was beautifully cooked ample portions and well above average pub fare. The beer was...

I think Queens Head is in its early new days. The waitress was asked what types of gin of offer- she didn’t know. There was a person sitting in the pub with a dog on a chair. Not ideal for the next person sitting there....

We went out for a family super. Had a lovely time. Very welcoming staff and a interesting menu. The food was well prepared and delicious. A buzzing pub with great food. 😊

Lovely family meal for mothering sunday. Good food and service, a very nice and comfortable setting. I've given four, not five, because, and this is just me, it was quite loud where we we sat with music and chatter. Not unpleasant at all, just not...

Lovely roast dinner . We ate with our dog in the bar area . Food was quick and friendly atmosphere . Worth the walk from our cottage rental

The Inn is very old, but beautifully kept and furnished. The guest rooms have everything you need and are very comfortable. Both the staff and locals are very friendly too.

Sat indoors as weather a bit breezy and cool. Very welcoming and comfortable with a nice "buzz". Very friendly and efficient service and good food and beer. Will certainly be back as soon as possible.

Everything worked well! Particularly good: carefully cooked food along with cheerful friendly service at an inside table.

Lovely pub with relaxing courtyard garden. Food was fabulous - not your standard pub fare. The herby gnocchi was gorgeous and the trout nicoise fab. ,My husband really enjoyed his pork belly roast. Ice cream and deserts not to be missed. Service and atmosphere was...

After reading positive reviews we booked the Queens Head for two people for 2 nights, but maybe went to the wrong place with the same name because food and service didn’t reflect the reviews. I worked and trained until retirement within many sectors of the...

Recommended to try this pub for dinner by family. Great old world atmosphere, obviously popular and also comfortable. Had the special - Chicken ballotine with chorizo risotto which was very tasty, partner had fish and chips.
