The Queens Head in South Norfolk

Really nice food, at a good price. Super helpful and friendly staff, and a great village pub atmosphere.

We booked for a Saturday evening well in advance as we were staying in the village and a group of 9 people. The pub looked lovely and we had a warm reception from the bar man. We were shown to our table, there were only 2 other people dining. We were given the menus and chose our food. When the barman came to take our orders the fun began. ‘Sorry we only have one of those’, ‘sorry we only have one of those’ again and again - so at least 5 of us had to re-choose our food and negotiate with each other!! Then I asked for the wine menu ‘we don’t have one’! He listed some wines and I asked if they were bottles or glasses. ‘Both’ he said! So we asked for 2 bottles of Malbec. ‘We only have 1’ ! Ok we’ll have that one and a Rioja… ‘well, we don’t have a full one as we’ve already opened it’! Aaasgh! The food was fabulous! The staff were fabulous! The availability of food and wine was poor! Especially for a large advanced booking. Such a shame. Needless to say we didn’t even attempt to order desserts or coffee on the assumption there wouldn’t be any. Having said that we would return- perhaps pre-ordering next time!

We had gluten and dairy free fish and chips on Bank holiday Monday, what an absolute treat they were delicious, and very friendly staff too.

Superb food in lovely atmosphere. So pleased to have experienced it.

A wonderful local pub/restaurant. Great atmosphere and excellent service. Food was great and staff are friendly and eager to help. Attended for a family meal and really enjoyed it. Thank you!

The price for food is ridiculous for a small village. Not to mentions the food was gross, the old pub owners food was so much better, they didn't make simple food complex. When you order mashed potato with your food you expect potatoes that are mashed only. Not mixed with bacon, onion and leek. Never ever going there again. Such a shame.

Wow, what a difference! Despite living less than 5 minutes walk away, we haven’t eaten together in the pub for years due to the vegetarian options being really poor. We eat out a lot and would drive straight past our local to go elsewhere. Having heard lots of positive reviews from friends in the village, we booked a table. Food was beautifully presented, big portions, and really was delicious (brownie was to die for!) The welcome was really friendly, and the young lad that looked after us couldn’t have been more attentive. A real asset to the Queens Head! Will definitely be eating here again.

Now part of the SnugPub group with the kitchen just open. Sunday roast absolutely superb...beef, roast potatoes, cauli cheese, red cabbage, greens, green beans, carrots, parsnips and Yorkshire pud...they need bigger plates!! My wife had the summer risotto...also very good. With excellent beers and great staff you can't go wrong...do give it a go.

Excellent service and good food in a very welcoming atmosphere. We are very lucky to have such a great facility so close.

One of the Moss group of restaurants we have locally. Out of the 3 we use this is by far the best. Food quality is excellent, staff are friendly and efficient, atmosphere is cosy and welcoming. We are very lucky to have this pub as our local.

Looks tired compared to other sites.

Very good quality food and service at a fair price. I had the suet pudding stuffed full of melting shin of beef and served with wonderfully fresh vegetables, red cabbage, carrots ,kale and broccoli. My husband had delicious sausages, mustard mash and ,again, lovely fresh greens. Sadly we were too full to sample the deserts, all of which sounded tempting. It is a warm well furnished environment with a roaring fire which was equally matched by the warmth of the welcome from Leah who manages the establishment with exactly the right balance of friendliness and professionalism. We will return , next time much more hungry!

Lovely place to go. We had Christmas eve dinner here. The staff as usual were lovely. The food was very good . As we're the choice of beers.worth swinging by to the village.

Great that the pub has restarted food. Just had an excellent lunch; beef suet pudding and sea bream plus some excellent Tindalls beer and a porn star martini cocktail and great service from Natalia...pretty good for a village pub. Give it a try...you will not be disappointed.

Nice place we loved the open fire.

Great music and bbq, good to see the pub buzzing once again.

Very cozy with a great beer selection.

Lovely and friendly place between reedham and Beccles.

Second time we've been and both times superb. 1st time with our dog who enjoyed the attention and free treats. We had the southern fried chicken in a bucket which was amazeballs. We went again last night 12th June and again brilliant service, lovely staff-chef came out for a chat....Nice chap Its a village pub with good space inside and out and very good food and ale at a decent price. It's good to walk into a pub and not get the "you're not from round here look and service" Highly recommended

Scott's pies are excellent! Great service, lovely staff - treats for the dogs too. Highly recommended xx

If you want a great village pub with a great village atmosphere then you dont need to look further than the Queens Head, was so friendly with great food and fab staff. The Sunday roast was well cooked and plenty of it. The roast potatoes were crispy as was the huge yorkshire pudding. The beef, chicken and pork belly were all equally tasty and not over cooked, the side of cauliflower cheese was heavenly. It was great to meet a chef who actively asked for feedback and was proud of his food! Great job Scot. Loved the popcorn cockles. A place not to be missed!

We visit regularly for beers ...why not..is the best pub in the area. Whilst there we were tempted to taste the sword fish steak with sweet potato chorizo and vine tomatoes ...5 star dining ...in a village pub setting !

Impromptu dinner 2 adults two children , Chef Scott looked after us good quality food delicious thank you

Excellent food. Lovely village pub.

Superb meal, great service.lovely all round experience, as usual

Very good food, very dog friendly. Generally very friendly. The dogs loved the sausages 😀. Reasonably priced. We went there a couple of times while house hunting in the area. A small park by the car park to stretch the kids or. In my case dogs legs.

Unhappy at the Queens head last nite ,the menu was nothing like online ,then my husband had a fall up the ridiculous step which isn't highlighted and nobody came to see if he was ok and write it up in the accident book ,we are really disappointed with the place ,my husband is in his 70s and felt shook up ,please change this before a serious accident happens ,not even offered a free drink .

This pub had good reviews on Google but we’ve had mixed experiences with midweek pub lunches when we seem to have got trainee chefs serving. However The Queens Head was very good! All the food was hot and tasty. My partner said his apple crumble was the best one he’d ever had in a restaurant. The toilets were amazingly clean. We would definitely return,

Nice local with good beer and friendly staff.

Nice pub good atmosphere fine mesl

Tried The Queens Head for the first time yesterday lunch time. Had a lovely meal, beer good, very friendly. Will deffo be back. P.S. Toilets were nice and clean and well maintained (always a good sign)

We had a lovely meal here on Friday night. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our meals were all delicious. We will definitely book again. There is a really nice friendly atmosphere here. Looking forward to our next visit.

Excellent, tasty, well presented, reasonably priced food. Spotlessly clean. Lovely range of wines. Tastefully decorated local pub within walking distance. Staff are just brilliant, Lily is very friendly & chatty and to top it all a very talented chef. Well done guys keep up the good work 🥂😃

Really nice atmosphere, food was great too.

Friendly country pub with local real ales on hand pumps. Decent food with discount dining Monday to Wednesday. Occasionally there's a band on.

Great food and service at a very reasonable price

Found by chance food was excellent and our host Amy was fantastic and could not do enough for us definitely will return 5/5

Great atmosphere and food. Nice selection of ale.

I'm very happy to report that this pub has re-opened - it was closed on my previous visit in 2021. Excellent pub. We had one of the best Sunday roasts we've ever had. Lots of very tasty vegetables and lots of gravy! Good Real Ales and very friendly staff. A minor grouch is that the music inside the pub can be a bit intrusive but they were happy to turn it down.

Lovely place and meal , we would definitely go again 😋

Lovely place to chill and have a beer or 2 food service from Wednesday onwards the beer garden is nicely laid out with plenty of tables lighting, inside has a mirrored TV an inside is decorated to a rustic country pub. Staff are all lovely an plenty of drinks to choose from

Only had a drink but food looked good very nice place

V pleasant interior, friendly staff

Just had an excellent meal at The Queens Head. Food was outstanding in flavour and presentation. The staff are always so helpful and attentive and we can’t wait to go back.

Friendly pub. Tables spaced out. Good food.

We arrived at the queens head with a very warm welcoming, then got shown/sat to our table which was just amazing! The interior/decor in the place is just stunning! Me and my partner had the best meal we have eaten in a very long time it was amazing thanks to the head chef Shaye and the rest of the team in the kitchen. The service well you just couldn’t fault it, Lily and her team were polite and they made the night effortlessly amazing! Once again Thankyou for the best evening! 5*

Made our second visit last night with friends and once again enjoyed a lovely dinner served by the excellent young team running this place. It’s certainly a 10/10 from me. Look forward to returning soon.

What a find!. We got slightly lost due to no signal on the sat nav. We were very lucky to find this great pub. Although a village pub we were made to feel welcome and offered a great choice for lunch. A beautiful meal.

Really nice to go out and have great food and drink at reasonable prices. Have been there several times always great

Good quality and healthy portion sizes 👍 Cheery & attentive staff. Will be back!

Absolutely brilliant, so welcoming , so clean , cannot recommend enough. The staff are so nice. Especially Lily. The food was the best, excellent service, no long waiting and food served hot. Will definitely become a regular. Well deserved 5 star from the whole family. Well done guys, keep it up xxxxx big up to the Bakewell Banger 😉

Brilliant night had by all the family, children welcome, smashing food, friendly staff and a real good selection of drinks. Food was to an excellent standard , cooked to perfection so hats off to the chef. Will defo visit again. We’ll done Lily and all the staff. X

Lovely decor, friendly staff and excellent food

Great service, lovely friendly atmosphere modern decor , good for family’s couples or friends to meet up . Dog friendly . Lovely place to enjoy coffe and cake or 3 course meal Pies are a recommendation if there are on the menu

Had to wait for the end of COVID . Very noisy local lads alot in there . So even in restaurant it's loud . Plus drinks very expensive and I had half a pint of ice in my g&t which made it so watery even though I asked only for a couple if cubes . Don't really listen just do what they want . The lads behind bar are not trained put our drinks through wrong so check you receipts. Food was nice though and restaurant staff friendly . Very clicky atmosphere. So if you are new to village everyone stares at you , makes it really uncomfortable. Like you just don't fit in . Unless your a loud ladish sort of person maybe you will .

Not too sure where we were heading for a meal with family, but easy to find and lovely position. Outside area would be great during the summer months so hoping to return in the better weather. Very welcoming staff in the bar area and waitress was bubbly and chatty when shown to our table. Good choice of food starters of mushroom and spinach bruscata (sorry for spelling) x2 & duck with pancakes x2 all so delicious. . Mains of skate which was thick and succulent, chicken in basket very filling and a tagliatelle all very enjoyable. Although very full we made room for pudding very well presented and delicious. No pressure to leave so a very pleasant and enjoyable evening in lovely surroundings. Thoroughly recommend a visit.

Had a really enjoyable evening here. We were celebrating an 8th birthday with two children and ten adults. We pre ordered each course as there were twelve of us. The food arrived pretty much together, just a slight delay with the children's meals and all the meals were declared as delicious, with mostly empty plates. I had the Queens burger which was one of the best I've had. The sticky toffee pudding was substantial and scrumptious. The staff were friendly and attentive checking that everything was ok but not trying to hurry us, just right. There was only Peroni Libra available as a non alcoholic beer, so I had a diet coke instead. Also a choice of custard with the desserts would have been nice, otherwise really good and would like to return.

Fantastic village pub great food great atmosphere

Marvelous liquor (Tindall Ales is crème de la crème), friendly bar staff, great atmosphere. But No pool table!!!!

Would love to review but arrived on Saturday lunchtime with TripAdvisor sating it's open........its not! It's closed, shut, not open, deserred of life......etc Pity but that's life

Delicious food. Great value. Friendly.

Very smart pub. Steak and Ale pie delicious

Called in for a drink but then decided to have lunch which was lovely..We had pork loin, sauteed potatoes, vegetables and cyder gravy can thoroughly recommend it..Staff very friendly, everywhere was spotlessly clean and very comfortable...

Excellent lunchtime grub. I had a delicious fish pie with fresh veg whilst my wife had the very large home made fish fingers in ciabatta bread. Not only great food but the excellent People's Brewery beer and very smiley service. Try it...you will not be...

We had to look hard to find a table, with many places booked up due to the "eat out to help out". We found the queen's head, and had no problems getting in. I guess it is off the beaten track. I had a burger. It was a good choice. Not crazy big, but easily big enough. It's a home made burger, and very tasty too. Lovely big chips, and loads of pickles, onion jam etc. My kids had the children's version. I asked if they could add bacon & cheese to match mine (they're hungry boys!), and they kindly did so. Theirs came with skinny fries. The food was every bit as good as the adult meals. No second best for kids here. The boys were really impressed, and ate the lot (well, apart from a few leaves). My wife went for a Thai green curry. Lovely chicken, well presented. That left room for a gorgeous New York cheesecake. The staff and locals were incredibly friendly, which seems to be quite normal around here. Highly recommended.

Excellent lunch today, very enjoyable with good service.

The Queens Head in Thurlton is an excellent village pub: the new landlord and bar staff go out of their way to make your visit an enjoyable one. On top of that the food and drink are first rate. Lucky to live here.

Had a good honest carvery here, verh pleasant pub and nice staff

nice friendly atmosphere ,always welcoming

Cute barmaid, good food, good music, good beer. Everything you want in a local pub.

Arrived at 13.10hrs greeted by the owners daughter back from Uni, very friendly, helpful we had just moved to the village and the Queens Head was within walking distance. Special of the day fish and chips, pleasant atmosphere, clean appearance. Order came to table under...

Dog friendly. Just the Best food ever So friendly. Wonderful carvrey and special dog menu love this place

We booked the Queens Head as it was close to our afternoon destination, never having visited before. An excellent meal with friendly staff. A lot of tender loving care (and money I expect) has gone in to making over this local pub. I wish them...

A really welcoming locals pub with great food

Wonderful evening at the Queens experiencing Chef Dean’s tasting menu. A delightful culinary journey through food and flavours across all 7 courses. Beautifully cooked and executed. Fine dining in a fine village. Highly recommend.

Dean pulled out of the bag tonight, 7 courses of amazing food. Everybody loved it. Proper treat on a Friday.

Nice laid back, friendly pub with live music. Good food. Light, airy, open plan. Staff very welcoming.

We were the only people in the pub on a thursday afternoon, which seemed a shame as this is a lovely pub, that has clearly had a lot of money spent on it. The service was fantastic, and the food was great. The portions were generous. We left very full and happy, will definitely be returning to try a dessert. It's worth the drive off of the main drag. Top notch!

Chose the Burger and a drink for a Tenner night (Wednesdays) and it was superb. Possibly the best burger I've ever had (and yes I have eaten at some top burger restaurants) accompanied by the best chips ever. great service with a smile too. Superb...

this is the third time we've visited this pub and each time the staff have been friendly and welcoming. Yet again the food was very good. I had the roast veggie option and it made a nice change to get a good sized pot of...

A friendly, community run pub, with a good atmosphere and selection of beers. We've eaten here a number of times and have always had good meals. The menu offers normal pub fare at reasonable prices. The meals we've had have always been of a high quality. Meals can be taken in a separate restaurant, or in the bar area. Some outside seating is available if the weather allows. There is also a table tennis table available to keep the kids amused.

Brilliant will have to try a meal

We were so lucky to stumble apon this little gem of a pub!! Recommend by the owner of a lovely B&B (the cockatrice Reedham) we had the most amazing dinner with a free pudding (a chocolate torte to die for) on the Friday evening. Loved it so much we took some family for Sunday lunch , again amazing food , full roast with a pint for £10 an absolute bargain!! Can’t wait to return when we are up in that neck of the woods again. Oh and the staff are all delightful, a warm friendly Norfolk welcome .

Fantastic meal, very friendly service ! ... one of the best roasts I’ve had !

Haven’t been for a while but very impressed with the menu. Very well treated and the choice of food and cost is very good. Good beer and cider selection. Can thoroughly recommend, coincidentally the landlord and I also used to play for the same rugby club.

A quality gastro pub. We've been here several times recently and everything is always a high standard and excellent value for money. They offer different deals on different days of the week. Our favourite is a Friday when you get free dessert for each main meal. There is a varied menu and every meal we've ever had has been perfect. On Sundays they offer roast dinners (not carvery) with locally sourced meats. The portions are very generous and we've been unable to find another pub offering a Sunday roast of the same quality and value. The staff are always friendly and approachable and nothing is ever too much to make your visit a highly positive experience. We're so glad to live locally!

We popped in one Sunday a couple of weeks back before christmas for a drink whilst passing on our way back home to Reedham. Warm, friendly bar staff and nice atmosphere it seemed. The only thing that let it down were 3 what seemed like 'adults' in there that were so childish it dampened the atmosphere. Taking piss out of everyone that came in through the door or left, hysterical laughing and mimicking people. One of the guys pointing to young girl that came in making incredible rude and in appropriate gestures to his mate. Just seemed very childish and ruined the atmosphere for me.

Very nice. People were friendly and food delicious.

We had the Sunday roast and it was delicious and great value, good selection of ales including local ones. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We have also tried the pizza night and fish and chips night as takeaways and they were also very tasty, I noticed they source most of their food locally. Overall a lovely village pub and a hidden gem!

Had a good catch up with friends last night.

Visited Saturday 27th, all staff were super friendly! All plates and cuttlery etc were spotless, pot wash did a super job! Food was lovely, would definitely recommend.

Just tried The Queens Head brand new Wednesday evening curry meal+beer for £10. Excellent poppadum and pickles for starters followed by Rogan Josh for me and chicken sizzler for my good lady wife. All very tasty as was the cold Cobra beer. We will be back. Nice buzzy atmosphere as well.

Weekend visit to the broads. Headed to the queens head for late lunch. Was absolutely fantastic. All cooked fresh and was great that the chef came out to see how our meal was going.

Had the pleasure of meeting with the owners they work hard to deliver great service and top quality food with a Norfolk twist.good amount of parking and great atmosphere .thumbs up

We found this pub through a tourist brochure and it did not disappoint. In fact we visited twice during our stay. Friendly staff very accommodating. First visit we had the 2 for 1 pizza which was good. We returned for Sunday roast and again very good.

Love the pizza good presentation. All freshly made deserts see you again soon.
