Usually very good food Sadly served two very overcooked meat pies today. The meat was hard and dry and the pastry charred. At £60 for 3 main courses, two non alcoholic drinks and a cider, not a cheap lunch. As we had a guest, it didn’t feel appropriate to make a fuss but did tell the server the issue. Such a shame as we had spoken highly of your food. I think it will be sometime before our next visit.

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.

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 ,,,,

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.

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.

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.

As a group of ex-colleagues, we've been meeting up here about 4 times a year on a Monday night for at least 10 years. The food has never disappointed and we've always stayed for the fun quiz afterwards. We've always booked a table in advance as it's a busy night. Last night was our first visit of the year, the table was pre-booked, the food was enjoyed, and we were ready for the quiz. And there ended our night - we were asked to leave as the table was needed for a group of quizzers who sit there every week! Apparently we had only booked for a meal, the table was somebody else's for the quiz. This we were told has been the system for at least a year! Nothing has ever been mentioned about this and nothing was said when we made the booking. We asked if next time we could book for both and were told it wouldn't be likely as the same groups book out the tables for the quiz. Despite paying around £100 for our drinks and food we were no longer welcome, even though we've done this for years. It appears that unless you're in the local clique, pay for a beer and have a free sandwich, your custom is not wanted on a Monday. However, I'm sure you'll be welcome on other nights when business is slow and they need your custom. We will be taking ourselves elsewhere from now on. Another pub in the area know how badly the Queen's Head treat their customers and have welcomed us to theirs instead.

Arrived for dinner, seated on time, ordered food and drinks which were delivered in good time. Young chap running round like there was nobody else there, bringing food out and clearing tables but apart from him, nobody seemed bothered. Not particularly busy. Two other staff wandering around doing very little apart from taking the odd bill to a table or having a chat. Sat for 20 mins being ignored with empty drinks glasses and no food on the table, got bored, paid and left. Shame really as the food was good but won’t rush back.
