The Queens Head in Broxtowe

Pass this pub on the way to my son's, we always say we'll have to call in one day, so one day came, we booked a table for four and the food was lovely, one of the best pub meal I've had, the staff was friendly and polite I would recommend this pub to anyone, I'll definitely be back....

It was ok for a drink. Bar area is super small. I didn't really like it when folks were sitting at the bar when it's too small as it is, then you're just in the way when people walked in the door. The food was a bit expensive for what it is and it's not great.

Did not eat. Lovely atmosphere and service is always good. Plenty of staff and never a wait.

The Fish and chips are second to none and the beef and ale pie the kids enjoyed the chicken nuggets and pizza the wine was nice I enjoyed the beer, The service was fantastic great staff👍

Amazing home cooked warming food, perfect on a cold day!

Called in on the off-chance following a weekend in Nottingham. I really fancied a Sunday lunch but as it was around 4pm wasn't very hopeful. I hadn't been to this place for over 14 years. Wow! The slow cooked brisket, home-made chips (I think!) gorgeous fresh veg. and a jug of gravy was devine and exactly what I needed. Will definitely return when in the vicinity. Thank you for accommodating us so quickly. The service was great.

A classic English pub. With great food, friendly staff and a really nice pub all together. If you are looking for a great pub, look no further!

Famous for home made food. Really ! May as well of set fire to my money. Chips and salad with sea bass fillet, really. The lasagne tasted like vinegar! Great looking pub. Probably great for a local drink. NOTHING ELSE. Good parking Great outdoor area for kids and in summer.

Lovely pub, the food smelt gorgeous, we are definitely going to try it when we visit again

Great place to have a drink and a meal

Great place to have a drink and a meal

Ok, dont get excited by the signs saying amazing home-cooked meals. Upon entering I was met with a gaggle of teenage Black clad serving staff, who have as much interest in service as in a Cliff Richards eight track. It’s confused and chaotic with so many of them milling about, Without focus or leadership. I came for Sunday lunch to an empty restaurant two tables and was asked if I booked a table. I was shown to a table for one, with a point of the finger rather than a guiding caring Service. I sat at this table scrunched, with Central legs that hit you all in the wrong places with your feet, at a table that was stickier than a child’s lollipop. Having decided that I probably be better off sitting outside, in the empty beer garden, I was met with tables with pigeon feathers and pigeon poo on the chairs. Surrounded by a group of flies, that as it transpired Had more interesting in eating the food than I did. So we get to this amazing home-cooked food, I ordered the Haddock poached and here is where the Whole thing unravels The poached Haddock, felt as if he had been boiled to it submitted to inhumane torture. It was rubbery tough and without seasoning. It was also floating in water and the bottom of my plate was like a little paddling pool perhaps the fish hoped to survive and swim away.. Alas the three new potatoes that accompanied this dish were hard and Barely cooked, one of them even had the soil that it was grown in as an extra additive to the meal. The vegetable accompaniment was frozen peas and I had never thought it was possible to make frozen peas hard but this chef managed bravo. . As an accompaniment to the Fish was a sauce, what type of sauce? It was? I have not a clue. It was bland tasteless and watery. When I poured over the poor fish I just knew the whole thing was a pointless mess. I asked the girl how is such a beautiful place on a Sunday lunch and of course now I realise, this is probably the place you go to drink more than eat and the empty outside was probably even telling of that being not a success. I managed to chew my way through the fish, but could not palate the undercooked unseasoned vegetables. Overall paying £15.95 for a nice piece of fish to be tortured set in an eighth of an inch of water , with three new potatoes and some frozen peas and a surprise sauce because goodness knows what it was it was advertised as parsley sauce but it was canary yellow. I had hoped it would’ve been saffron sauce, because at least that would’ve shown the chef had some imagination. However, this is a place rather to avoid to eat in at least , along with the poor untrained unfocused disinterested staff it doesn’t make a good afternoon out

It was a very nice pub large gardens. You can sit outside under cover or in the open air. We all had food only sandwiches which were very nice, cost reasonable. Good selection of ales. Have been told that they do a great Sunday dinner by one of our friends that was there with us. Well done all M&J

The food was fresh & outstanding - it was my first visit but I promise there will be many more

Loved this first time here for anniversary meal. Food was delicious we had beef crumble with cheese, veg and mash with lemon mascapone cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding. Staff friendly and it's a lovely old pub. Thoroughly recommended

Generalmente muy buena comida Tristemente servido dos pasteles de carne muy cocidos hoy. La carne estaba dura y seca y el pastel estaba carbonizado. A £ 60 por 3 platos principales, dos bebidas sin alcohol y una sidra, no es un almuerzo barato. Como tuvimos un invitado, no se sintió apropiado hacer un escándalo, pero le dijo al servidor el problema. Qué vergüenza que hayamos hablado mucho de tu comida. Creo que será en algún momento antes de nuestra próxima visita.

Lovely pub, lovely staff, lovely food. Love that it’s dog friendly, and fresh water is available for them, overall it’s great.

Friendly pub with great food. Yes there is a wait for the food but it is proper home cooked style food and you certainly get your monies worth

Came here with a small party. Excellent food with ample portions. Friendly atmosphere/staff. Will come again !

Excellent homemade food. I can recommend the steak and ale pie.

Lovely food...would recommend the fish and chips

Nice food and really lovely outside area

Great food that was enjoyed by all of our party. Been before and will go again.

Had a bowl of chips here with my soda water and lime, excellent. Was quiet when I arrived which was pleasant, but later became busy and noisy so decided it was time to go. Kindly female staff member who was busy doing food orders, serving drinks and clearing tables in and outside whilst her male colleague was inactive. Thankyou

Great food and drink. Dog friendly.

Went in for a pub lunch Place is one of the old type pubs with personal touch Big outside garden Dog friendly Food really nice would recommend

Great food and service. Plenty of outside seating and kids play area for on a nice day.

Went for a meal on a Sunday evening. Nice table in the window. Ordered the food at the bar, no problem. I had steak and stilton pie. When the pie arrived it was so dry you could not eat it. At no point during the meal did any member of staff come and ask if everything was OK. When they come to collect the plates later still no question even though the pie had hardly been touched. When I went to pay the bill i mentioned about not being asked about the food and was told. Once you have started your food nothing can be done about it. ( how do you know if the food is any good till you try it) The next bit is the best. I was then told that lots of people like the food so if you don't go somewhere else. I then asked to speak to the manager only to be told by the young man i was talking to that he is the manager. If that is the way they treat customers it does not look good for the pub. It is a shame because it is a nice pub but living on past reputation. I did try to contact the owner but was told by the manager that he was not able on several occasions.

A group of 14 of us went for dinner. Preorder was required and duly placed. On arrival, the staff were very pleasant and friendly, showed us to our table and once we were all there, so was our food! (Within about 15 minutes or so) Excellent service, lovely food and great value. We will definitely return, thank you

Called in for a lunch time meeting.

I came here with my family and the food was amazing. The pie was home made and delicious. The staff were very busy but also very helpful. It’s 10/10 from us.

Wheelchair access could be better

Lovely good and a good selection of real ales. Recommended but you might need to book. 🙂

Good pub food in a nice location

Excellent traditional pub with great food and beers.

Was looking forward to visiting as always busy but have to say the food was awful and left. Pie obviously left and reheated in microwave, gammon very salty and dry. Complained and reply.....is it sarcasm. Afraid wouldn't recommend.

We came here for Sunday lunch, after a long break. Good service and tasty food. The chips were well above the average pub fare. The chilli was quite mild, but nicely flavoured. The pie was good and the portions suitable. What's not to like?

Lovely, friendly pub. The staff were very welcoming. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced.

Real home made, super tasty food. X

Good food, traditional style public house. Lovely .

Lovely atmosphere, great staff and great food at excellent prices.

Restaurant would have bit more ambience if it wasn't so bright but service and food are first class we travel around 10 miles to eat there friendly regulars too

Lovely pub. But the meal was basically poor and overpriced. The pie had no sauce and the meat was dry and microwaved. Not much more than a tablespoon of peas! Such a shame as had heard good things

Great pub good food and drinks reasonable prices

Ordered a tuna baugette came with home made chips and side salad presented well, just a shame the baugette was a hot dog bun and not a bagette other than that happy

Beautiful pub. Just popped in for a quick drink. Will definitely go again...

Went here for lunch with my wife. Great food and definitely large portions. Pleasant and efficient service. Only downside, it was a little cold in there.

Food still excellent, food choice of beers. Can get busy at certain times

Always a good pub meal, fresh chips, pleasant staff.

Food is absolutely delicious at the Queens head, highly recommended

Chips were dry lots of small bits Couldn't eat been many times first time we had to complain

Lovely location, plenty of parking, space outside for kids, dining. Plenty of parking. Food and drink good value for money with welcoming staff and atmosphere. Can't go wrong for pub grub and good choice of drinks.

Had the best fish & chips for a long time 😋😋

Great food. Great staff. Lovely pub.

Beautiful food. (I recommend the fish and chips) Cosey, nice selection of drinks.

Plenty of food very tasty.staff were very friendly lovely clean cosy place

Both I and another member of our party (of 3), tried to book a table, on both attempts, the staff were unhelpful and very rude.

Very very poor lunch menu. All I wanted was a Sandwich and they wouldn't give me one. Service slow. I won't to be returning

Great pub, with a good sized garden, fantastic food and good prices. Well worth a visit.

The place has lovely ambiance staff is good but we entered in afternoon barely there was one table we ordered gammon steak and peppercorn chicken The gammon steak was very very salty had it felt like they soaked and marinated the steak with only salt nothing else and chips not even cooked properly in the gammon steak only salt rest all there is no salt at all in anything worst food I ever had the pepper corn chicken was alright ,when we called the waiter and said the gammon steak was not eatable too salty he didn't bothered and rude . When I had bite of steak and called the waiter it's not good he was like just okay I asked him to talk to the chef and I try to make it better he was like if I replace you have to pay another steak price paying extra or paying for food it's not the matter ,the thing you charged 14:50 ,that was not good ,you shld have minimum hospitality etiquette to solve the the issue but you guys failed , Really disappointed guys ,,,,

Amazing food drinks and service.

Visited at 6.30 in a Saturday and it was packed. Fortunately we’d reserved a table. We both had fish and chips which was a huge portion. The fish was ok, not a great deal of taste. Wine was £15 a bottle which was reasonable. Staff were all very polite. What spoilt it was the ladies toilets. The smell was absolutely disgusting and in much need of a refurb. Will I visit again? I very much doubt it.

Great pub restaurant, good choice of food, lovely pint of Tiger bitter, great service. What more do you need for a lazy lunchtime?

We had the lasagne was very nice and there was plenty

Went with my daughter for tea and the food was delicious 😋 best fish and chips I've had by far 😋

Fish and chips and homemade pie we couldn't fault it!

Very good place will visit again soon.

Lovely food, great beers and friendly staff

Staff very helpful and friendly Beautiful place

Been here several times and it never fails to impress. Two had fish and chips, one brisket baguette and one the burger. 2 fish were beautiful, baguette was amazing but burger just got an OK. I'll have the baguette next time if it's on special that's for sure. I do think the toilets could do with checking regularly though, they weren't that clean. Not going to Mark you down for that, But will defo go again as the food shop good

We had a wonderful meal and lovely family time lots of laughs excellent service wouldn't go any were else for fish and chips

Lovely food great atmosphere friendly staff will be coming again

First time visiting The Queens Head, lovely big beer garden, friendly staff, and delicious food! We will definitely be back 😁

Huge portions but tastless fish Coffee stewed and dreadful. Used to be nice food here. Old dirty looking carpets . Outdated washrooms Disappointing Much nicer places around

lovely pub, fantastic food, must try

Been to The Queens Head Watnall many times. Can recommend the food, good service. Thank you for a lovely lunch.

Took my grandson, who needed changing while we were there. When we ask where baby changing was, we were told they did not have any. Best they could offer was toilet floor. In toilets that were grim. Safe to say we won't be going back. Shame because service and food were ok.

Nice Food, Friendly Staff. A little cramped inside if busy and the outside covered area could do with a clean. Downside was despite not being too busy on a Friday lunchtime the wait for food was nearly an hour.

Chris Fensom 3 reviews a week ago NEW This place is getting worse. Never got what is on the menu If it’s published it should be available they are always running out no matter if lunch or evening Barnsley chop horrible, cooked to death tough and very small for the high price The quality is poor for a very high price Baulked out with salad and chips Not going back Tiger beer the exception

Very disappointed, I went to the resurant last summer with my daughter had fish & chips, went back this week it was awful the resurant itself looked very dirty carpets were sticky and worn toilets were the same had fish & chips mushy peas the fish was dry the outside eating area was dirty with last night's food on the floor we won't be returning.

The food was excellent and the staff were great. But having to wait over a hour for the meal wasn't good.

Fantastic pub, great ale and wonderful staff!

Oh dear, what's happened to the Queens's Head? Always so dependable for good food and value for money, especially the fish and chips and steak and ale pie. But on our last two visits, (both this month), we have left feeling very disappointed. For the second time there was no steak and ale pie. So second choice of Lasagne - "sorry, no lasagne", third choice two Barnsley Chops, a little underwhelming in size and not quite what is normally associated with this cut of lamb, one was also a little on the tough side. The third substitute dish - home cured ham and eggs -very generous serving of ham but the eggs were definitely undercooked and 'slimey'. One of the party had fish and chips but for the second time this failed to live up to expectations, disappointing in size and taste. The spare ribs however were good as was the Tuscan chicken. But all were served with chips that were only just warm, soggy and looked as though they had been kept under a warming light for an hour. Three desserts, very generous chocolate fudge cake and ice-cream went down a treat but treacle sponge dry and lacking treacle. Come on, QH, we know you are better than than this. Get it sorted.

New to the area we attempted to contact pub/restaurant by phone on a warm Saturday afternoon and no-one would pick up so we chanced a visit and was glad that we did. Loads of space indoors and out, excellent friendly staff, great atmosphere, a good selection of 'beers' and the food that we had was also very good. We will be returning for more

Today, the 12th of June, we have had a great meal at the Queens Head. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant has a great atmosphere. It was one of the best fish and chips I have had for a while. The Gammon and Egg was equally as good.

Good parking, great garden, friendly staff and great food. Enjoyable lunch

Excellent meeting place with 11 other friends for lunch. Very clean. Meals excellent. Served in a timely fashion. Attentive young staff. Will definitely go back.

Lovely pub. Lots of space outside

Food amazing as usual. Staff friendly. Sun shining.

Absolutely delicious home cooked food, and really big portions. Good value, good quality and lovely old pub atmosphere l

Went for lunch today .....absolutely shocking ,ordered 3 meals which came out 5 minutes later which tells me food is not cooked fresh( most probably microwaved) fish inside batter half thr size kids chicken nuggets ( chicken had dried up inside) terrible and for prices being charged it is not value for money .askd for an highchair , it wad that caked I nfood the front would not adjust.customer service wasn't much h better eithet

The staff did everything possible to make our visit pleasant. Definitely coming back.

Smelt, old fashion style, but they say foods good.

Fantastic food good pint definitely going again

This is an excellent place to eat. As a group of 9 we were unsure if we would be able to sit together as we hadn't booked. We were shown into a little snug just the right size for our group. The two young men who served us could not have been more helpful and never once made us feel rushed even though they were very busy. The food was excellent, from huge battered fish, slow cooked belly pork and poached cod, to a ham baguette served with chips and salad, everything was fresh, piping hot and plentiful. Apparently the ham is cooked on the premises and those who had it said it was delicious. Nothing was too much trouble and I would highly recommend The Queens Head, Watnall as a place to eat.

Very nice garden, with plenty of tables. Dogs allowed on a lead. Small food selection, but tasty.

Lovely pub, massive beer garden

Nice food and place, we’ll be back definitely.
