The Queen's Head in Suffolk Coastal

Group of 10 ladies for Sunday lunch. The roast was lovely, with excellent service. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to a summer visit.

Good food and atmosphere. Friendly staff.

Service was good. Atmosphere was good. Unfortunately the food was mediocre. Bread sticks were dry. The chicken liver pate could be improved on. The chicken was dry. The fish pie was disappointing mushy and I felt it had been sitting to long. It was very expensive to.

We had a lovely dinner here this evening. The team were so accommodating and welcoming with our 2 dogs & baby. The vegetarian menu was excellent. I had the curry and wouldn't highly recommend. The deserts were to die for, one of the best brownies I've had. You can tell it's homemade. Food presented & tastes to a very high standard. Would certainly return when we're in the area. A must for anyone who loves their food in a nice relaxing pub. Dog friendly too with lovely treats available to buy.

We had a lovely meal in the garden. Friendly service too. The pub is a beautful old building which is a pleasure to be in.

Update - have been back four times this year as not local for us. Took the whole family for my special birthday celebration, it was wonderful food was great as always, just returned from another visit the roast is my favourite, the pub is dog friendly an added bonus. Would recommend We have been fortunate to visit twice this week, we thought the food was really nice my husband choose from the specials board, King prawn linguine which was very tasty I had the fish and chips which were really good quality the fish was fresh and the tartare sauce was the nicest I have tasted. The staff are lovely and very helpful. The range of bears from different breweries a real bonus. We thought we would go back Sunday for a roast and was not disappointed between us we had the beef, lamb and pork no complaints all very nice, I had the beef it was so tender, the veg was cooked to our taste and the gravy was delicious. My husband was delighted with the trio of deserts. Highly recommend a visit to the establishment, we will certainly be back.

Roast dinners were nicely presented and delicious but portions were small. Desserts were also delicious but didn’t like the way the bill was presented a few minutes after our table was cleared - (we hadn’t requested it) and again a couple of minutes went by and the device was brought over for us to pay so felt a bit pushed out really.

Superb food, friendly staff great atmosphere

Stopped off for dinner after the theatre, lovely warm log burner on the go, very welcoming atmosphere. Staff were very efficient and attentive. Food was very good. Also nice to see 'locals' just drinking at the bar (we're only 4 miles down the road!). Will definitely return, next time with dog in tow.

This Queens head has once again surprised me, not unexpectedly. Everything they do is always 110% From my first visit and a couple of reviews that l have posted. The Queens Head has continued to impress me. I visit local pubs locally and I can honestly say without reservation this establishment is by far the top of my list. Apart from the normal top quality food they are now offering the most amazing Pizzes bases are also made on the premises on a Monday & Tuesday. They are freshly cooked on the premises and the Pizza bases are also made on the Premises by Kate the Landlady. On top of all this the normal evey Day Menu here is ready good and freshly cooked to each order with the freshest of ingredients. Add to all this the well appointed, comfortable interier, seroudings and the exceptional welcome from Kevin, Kate and their team is second to none. I have to add I am not connected to this establishment in anyway. I judge on my personal experience and visiting a normal establishment in the area. Add to this the various food awards and the most recent entry into the The CAMRA Good Beer guide. So l am not on my own in recognise that this establishment is really something different. I can certainly recommend the Queens Head without exception. It's about time Trip Advisor recognised the Queens Head and give recognition that it deserved . Dennis Peel

Good food at the pub,we have never been to the pub before seems to be really liked by the locals.staff were professional and respectfully. Loved the gravy.we would gladly return

Gorgeous ale lovely pub in beautiful tranquil surroundings fabulous...what an amazing choice real ales at beer festival today..lovely knowledgeable lady serving ales..Kate..thankyou real nice day 🍻

Went there today had a fantastic meal. Sunday roast lamb ,and vegie Wellington. Both beautiful cooked loads of veg and Yorkshire pudding. Pudding lemon tart was tart but was a lovely taste. Can't fault anything about the meal. Great chef. All staff very helpful service brilliant. We will be back again.

This was birthday party for 3 generations. The food and service very good .The understanding of the staff was outstanding and meal and drinks pleased all generations

Very nice afternoon. Food fabulous, service 5 stars. Very nice place.

Not the best way for a couple to spend 2.5 hours on a Saturday evening. Dreadfully over cooked sea trout with, at best, blanched vegetables that were described as tender cooked! Not surprisingly, not once during the meal were we asked if the food was okay. Service was very slow due to insufficient staff for the number of diners booked in, and over attentive service given to the regulars around the bar. A very unprofessional leader in the bar could be heard shouting from the bar at the young (female teenagers) waiting on staff. Perhaps, rather than chatting to the locals she could get out to the tables and demonstrate / train good practice.

First class food, excellent service

Booked Sunday lunch, sat in the nice garden waiting for table to become available (very relaxing) Sat in the main dining area by the old fireplace (nice) Both of us ordered the Sunday roast lamb lunch, meat was sliced, nice size, vegetables were good as were all the trimmings. Everything was OK, maybe not to memorable.

Excellent meal with friends at the Queens Head, Bramfield, Would highly recommend. Cant wait to go back and try the roast.

Waited over an hour for substandard food .kelsoman had burnt pork chop .partner watery curry . friends cold burger .poorest score I've given .will not darken door again.

Absolutely Gorgeous pub and food , serving Great Local Ales

Caught up with friends over a lovely meal. Staff were very accommodating, as our friends had been delayed by 45 mins. Great food and lovely pub. Will be coming back to try out the Sunday roast!

Stop for a quick drink on our way home. Unfortunately the kitchen was closed but the gardens make up for it. Sat surrounded by beautiful flowers in a gorgeous garden, to enjoy our craft beer 🍻

It was a really great pub to eat, drink and entertain. The staff and service were perfect and the food extremely tasty.

I absolutely loved everything about this pub! It was beautiful inside and out, the staff were friendly and helpful and more than anything, the food was INCREDIBLE! I have travelled a lot and am very particular about food because I love it so much and it blew me away. The menu was unusual, full of quirky options and not too long. Not your standard pub offering. I had the Thai style sea bass with rice noodles, followed by the warm ginger sponge with coconut ice cream. I wish I lived closer, I would be a regular! If you like good food, don't miss it!!

Had 3 visits to this over a long weekend.it was excellent food and service. Dog friendly too which is a must for me. Can’t praise this place enough. One downside is not much parking but I never found it a problem. Give it a whirl you won’t be disappointed.

We made a booking and requested an accessible table. When we arrived we were shown to a table down a flight of steps. Managed to get a table outside, good job the weather held up! The starters we had were great, tasted amazing and were presented beautifully. We all had a Sunday roast of some sort. I had the due of lamb which was pretty disappointing, very small portion, the shepherd's pie had obviously been reheated and it was very dry. The slices of lamb were pink which was great. Not much veg though compared to the standard roasts. Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes on the standard roasts were hard and potentially frozen. Puddings were a but pricey so we didn't bother. Service wasn't great, felt like we were forgotten about and like it was a hassle for people to come outside to serve us. Overall bit of a disappointment 😞

Excellent food and good service 👌

We had a great Sunday lunch here. Great food and very friendly staff. I highly recommend this establishment.

A welcoming place where the bar and waitering staff were excellent. Our dog was relaxed and accepted immediately within the bar eating area and we were shown a table that suited, well, our needs. We chose the duo lamb main meal each at £22. Our drinks were very agreeable, my wife having a bottle of Kriek Cherry Ale and an Aspall cider, myself a Green Jack's Orange beer. Most enjoyable. The meal itself was very well presented however, in our view, small in portion. The miniature shepherd's pie and vegetables were well cooked and tasty however the rump of lamb was chewy which was surprising as it was declared as being marinated. This was disappointing although the waitress had no hesitation in changing both plates for another cut of rump. However the replacement was no more enjoyable and we question if the cut was rump anyway? This dampened our enjoyment of the visit however the premises inside and outside were meticulous and we would recommend the Inn for a drinks visit at least and with the expectation of having a meal, that the prices reflect a better culinary experience than ours this time, thanks.

Really enjoyed the food, staff were very friendly, would highly recommend

Requested accessible table when booking but had to eat outside as none available The food was disappointing The duo of lamb was tiny and the roasts were frozen yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes were like bullets. The starters were better than the mains.

Service took too long and not friendly. 3 out of our 4 meals unsatisfactory. My chicken was dry. Crumble good.

Careful if you are a Coeliac and need the GF option Three of us went for dinner, food was delicious. Unfortunately my wife who has Coeliaci ordered the GF Sea Bass with rice noodles. She remarked that the noodles seemed more like pasta and she was correct as 1 hour later she is now being violently sick as the ‘noodles’ were definitely pasta and not gluten free rice noodles

Wanted somewhere to eat going through the village and stopped here. Very pretty little village pub with beams and lots of character. Very friendly staff. Food was 10/10 and we only had a couple of sandwiches. Next level grub, we were very impressed. Sat in the garden in the sun on a summer's day. Amazing. Stop off if you're in the area or just passing through.

A lovely evening today at The Queens Head in Bramfield Suffolk. The food was excellent and the service was top class. Five stars all round.

My wife and I came here as part of a weekend get away from London. Firstly, the food is fantastic! I was particularly impressed by the dessert. A lot of pubs don’t make an effort with their puddings, but this one brought us delicious home made desserts. The staff were also lovely. I had a very engaging chat with one of them about their sign, name, and the reasoning behind it. Everyone was really friendly and happy to chat. This pub serves gorgeous, home made food in an extremely pleasant and welcoming environment. Throw in the beautiful location, and you have a place well worth visiting. I hope to come back here one day.

Had a lovely Sunday roast. Served till 7 which is great as most places stopped around 4 or 5. Dog friendly too! No Adnams though.

Fabulous food, nice atmosphere and a great team. As a Coeliac I have to be careful of where I eat out. The many choices of gluten free options and knowledge of all staff made it so easy for me. I highly recommend and cannot wait to return.

Gorgeous food and great service, staff were so friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt very comfortable and relaxed

Lovely food and excellent staff and service. Really friendly place and dog friendly too. Sunday lunch was fantastic. Roast lamb and great desserts. Loads of choice on menu.

A beautiful pub run by beautiful people. My local, and I love it. Kate, Kev and Chloe work tirelessly to make this place special. A triumph. Thanks for keeping this place alive and Bramfield on the map.

Really nice Sunday roast had by all. To the point I forgot to take a photo of the food! Excellent quality, fair price 👌

Excellent all round! Food was exceptional, imaginative, well presented, ample portion size, excellent value for money, good quality products and numerous choice selection. Premises were a delight, spotlessly clean, lovely decor and laid back atmosphere. Staff attentive without being intrusive, professional and efficient. Visited Saturday lunchtime in February. Ample parking at premises and surrounding area. Very impressive.

Really nice Saturday Lunch. Loved the lighting including fairy lights and a big fire. I had the salmon special and my Fiancé had the burger. Both very very tasty. The service was really good, the best we have seen in some time. Nicely busy but we didn't feel rushed or like the staff coulsnt handle it. Deserts were really nice, we would have preferred a traditional Cheese cake to one in a glass as the biscuit base was a bit dry. However, still tasted nice. The Bruha beer was apparently delicious too!

Excellent dog friendly pub. Great menu, lots of specials & veggie options. Excellent choice of beers, including craft ales. Very dog friendly, bowl of water given on arrival & a choice of dog snack to buy. Landlady & other staff very friendly.

The landlady is an excellent host and she has brilliant staff. The meal was top notch. Although we arrived earlier than our booking we were made welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend and will visit again when in that area.

Absolutely brilliant.. staff so lovely and the food was exceptional…

Always superb food. Good selection of choices. Even does take away food (although this is limited on choice and can sometimes be dry when you get home) Pudding evening excellent. Only 4 stars because of the price unfortunately.

We’ve been here a few times now and the food & service never seems to disappoint us..the venue is really lovely and open fire to warm us on a cold January night,we intend to go to a quiz night here as been told it’s really good so we will update you when we go.

Beautiful pub, amazing food, excellent beer, great children's area, gorgeous garden

Felt like I'm home! Staff is great, very well organized! Already booked lunch for tomorrow as we love it! Brilliant pub/restaurant! Definitely coming back here in the nearest future! 💪

Unbelievable what an excellent find. The best place I've been in a very long time. We visited on new year's eve and had the most fantastic tasty meal with exceptional service from all the workers. Nothing was too much trouble and the food and desserts were incredible. I wish I lived closer as I'd visit every week

We enjoyed a GREAT lunch here just before Christmas . Staying locally, we wanted to try the local pub for a meal, and it was just excellent. A very warm and friendly welcome from the staff, great menu choices, all cooked really well. Thank you to the team at the Queens Head - we look forward to our next visit

Perfect, country pub. The food was brilliant, the prices were fair, and the service was excellent.

Delicious home cooked food.Cosy atmosphere and staff friendly.Cant wait to return

A lovely setting and a good range of dishes to choose from. The main courses were lovely, including the slow-cooked beef, chicken supreme and soup. These all tasted great. Nobody in our group of five had any complaints. The location is a lovely setting, with a log burner and contemporary-meets-traditional ambiance in the bar and restaurant. This was well balanced. I found it to be a tad expensive. Including, £16.50 for a quiche £18.75 for a chicken supreme. I appreciate that prices are more than just the meal themselves, but still when all things are considered, I found that these prices raised expectations too much and led me to cut back on drinks. A few areas which prevented a five star review: - the waitress was very attentive, but needs to relax a little. Be calm and less intense, as she did a great job but was coming across as trying too hard. - I personally did not like having a 'dog menu' on the same page as the ordinary menu. Reading about dog's dinners put me off selecting my own food. - the crumble dessert needed more crumble, as it was mostly filling.

Lovely food, good vegan options and even a dog menu!

The perfect village public house. They served good quality food at a reasonable price. A point to mention is they serve two draught ciders don't forego that opportunity or pleasure to taste both.

Excellent Sunday lunch, busy restaurant with very good service.

Loved this place - will be back

Excellent food with good service.

Dishes not available from menu by 7pm Saturday,booked in advance , couldn't cater for 7, hour wait for food , no communication. Possibly as not local treated so poorly by management.Table of 9 seated after us seemed to get more attention.£200 for meal.Food ok , burnt halloumi fries,burnt creme caramel.Not the attention to detail.

Really disappointing visit. We booked on Friday for 7 people at 6:30pm Saturday evening. I suggested this pub as we came a number of tiles 19 years ago and loved it.We were seated and another table of 9/10 seated after us.They were given priority ( maybe locals) , we are from Southwold,not seen as locals. We looked at the menu ( one on the website) and we were really disappointed that the beef dish was all sold out.This is poor organisation on behalf of the management. I heard the young male waiter tell the table of 9 that there were only 4 main menu burgers left and we asked him to book these out for our guests.We then panicked and asked him what else was low and he replied that the beef was nearly out.We then put in that order only to be told by the management that the table of 9 had he last beef. In future, communicate to large group bookings limited dishes before they arrive,so they can decide whether it is worth arriving. Secondly , an hour wait for food WITHOUT any communication to us is poor service. We paid our £200 bill and my friend tipped the waiters who had worked.The management need to go on a hospitality training programme.Shocking.

Went by pedal bike with pals. Bike rack on car park all perfectly secure with your own lock. The staff were welcoming & friendly. Lovely presented beer garden, good for groups & families and understandable why cycles not allowed therin. Cask ales & food excellent. Will go again.

Great venue, service excellent and the three Sunday roast dinners two roast beef and one pork were very nice and tasty. Good selection of vegetables and the pork crackling was delicious. Only slight downside was that all three plates were lukewarm, as we were the first customers of the day we assume plate warmers had just been put on We did mention this to staff when paying and it was noted. This will not stop us returning to have another great meal.

We had a lovely meal on Thursday evening. Kate and Amy made it extra special for our daughters birthday which was just lovely. Really came away feeling warm and cosy. Thanks ☺️

Yet another amazing meal at this gem of a restaurant! The food never disappoints an excellent selection all of which is exceptional quality and delivered with some of the best customer service we have ever received. Definitely worth a visit if you love your food!

I wrote a review over a Month ago after my first vist. Since then l must admit to frequenting the Queens Head for often than her in doors would like!! The Queens Head is infectious, so be warned!! In a good way. Exceptional young staff very efficient, polite and welcoming. I have now eaten here on three occasions now and already booked for futer events, themed evening. My wife and l have very much enjoyed our three meals that we thourerly enjoyed. This included Sunday Lunch and a excellent Fish Night that offered a platter of a selection to Fresh Fish and Sea Food. This is a regular event and is held on the last Friday of each Month. Sorry for my over excitement, visit and you will experience something Different and l am sure you will enjoy your Experience Add to the above with a great welcome from Landlords Kevin, Kate and the locals. Such an overall great experience. Booking is essential. Dennis

Managed to get a late booking for Sunday lunch for 9 people. Child friendly pub with great menu. Quality of food was very good. All round great experience.

We called in for lunch with a client. We ordered fish and chips. Perhaps the worst we have ever eaten. Miserable piece of fish with soggy batter, really weird peas and disappointing chips. Very expensive. The client was polite but I suspect just that. On the bright side the staff were great.

Gorgeous pub with fantastic food and exceptionally warm and welcoming. Visited with our teenagers and dog. Very dog friendly. A real gem of a find.

Pleasant local with dining in several areas. Good atmosphere, Sunday Roast not among the best. Good dessert. Pleasant service.

Attended Autumn Pudding Night Friday 13th October. Another fantastic night our party had both sea bass and beef both were amazing but the highlight of the night the 10 pudding options. Absolutely superb 😍Managed 2 extra portions of the terrine. The staff, atmosphere and value for money make this evening a must. 💖

Nice service and food I recommend it.

I went in twice at the beginning of Suffolk, having been before but was cat sitting for a friend in the village. Without a shadow of a doubt, the best gastro pub food I have ever had, and we eat out a lot at home in some lovely places. Made very welcome by the landlord and landlady. The specials awesome! The dressed crab recommended if on!

Had a great night with excellent food. It was a charity musical bingo night. Brilliant atmosphere, wonderful hostesses and organiser. Everyone was singing and having a great time Will definitely be going back. Loved it.

Fantastic Establishment. I drop in to the Queens Head just for a beer. So glad l did, what a breath of fresh air so different from the norm! Lovely welcome, one of the owners, the Landlady even helped me find a parking place and l recieved a really nice welcome. I was asked my name and when l got inside l was introduced to the an equally welcoming group of regulars. I have now returned 4 times and l am more than happy to become a regular. There are a number of local and National beers and ciders on offer. All are extremely well kept and served by helpful and welcoming team.. The Landlady certainly knows her beers and is so knowledgable and enthusiastic about local and National Beers and Ciders. The Queens Head is like the Tardis with various rooms all individually and tastefully furnished. There is also a large well kept Garden with plenty of tables. The food offering is also different from the Norm and offers the odd fish dishe, all nicely cooked and well presented. Price wise the Queens Head is certainly very competitive to anywhere local. I live Locally and have experience a number of local hostelrese. A couple of these are fine. However if l am honest, The Queens Head will take some beating. Such a great on going experience. Regular entertainment and food themed evening. From Friday 21st until Sunday 24 September 2023. With over 25 crafted Ciders and beers. Again local and national Breweris will be represented. Sorry about this lengthy review, but the Queens head certainly deserves it. Obviously you will need to visit to enjoy the experience. I can assure you, you won't be disappointed. Dennis

Lovely pub, plesent staff, beautiful garden

!The advantage of simply booking and turning up is that one is not bombarded with 'how did we do?' emails, so this comment is there because it was a great, enjoyable experience without the need to be ratified by some on-line robot. The problem with The Queen's Head is that it has been AWFUL in the past so the new owners have a lot to live down but they've done this simply by providing great food, great beer at fair prices in a lovely setting and (major plus coming up) they welcome dogs and we have two of them: large ones. They even realised that the music (the BAIN of most restaurants) was too loud and turned it right down. I'd love for it to disappear altogether, it detracts from the food and the ambience. Great vegetarian and vegan choices. Highly recommend this place to anyone.

Great meal at the Queen's Head, Bramfield. Lovely menu, great service. A great find in rural Suffolk

We loved it here. Such a good find while in area. Will return

Super portion sizes and friendly service. Dog friendly too.

Had a great lunch here in late August with 2 kids. Staff were friendly and there was a good atmosphere. The pub is lovely and the gardens well kept and pretty. More importantly the grub was great, can't fault it. Wish it was closer to us so we could visit again

Thank you for a lovely birthday lunch for my Husband yesterday, food cooked and presented perfectly. Also for your consideration re suitable table for my elderly Mum. Wonderful enthusiastic rendition of Happy Birthday when you all brought the cake out! Much appreciated 👍 See you soon!

Could not have wished for a better meal, great caring staff and food was great, would recommend to anyone 😊😊

Fabulous food and service 👌 Tried the pork chop last week. Delicious, great fries as well... But the apple and rubbarb crumble is a sensation...

One of the nicest country pubs we have visited long time. Lovely food, friendly service and one of the best kept beautiful gardens l have seen at a pub in a long time. Only about 5mins off the A12 in the lovely village of Bramfield, well worth a visit.

Absolutely beautiful pub. Lovely atmosphere and a lovely welcome. The food was great. My Mediterranean chicken breast was lovely. We didn’t go in the garden but it was full of flowers. Would highly recommend.

Had a lovely birthday meal there

Had a love family meal every thing was love

Stayed in the local area for the weekend, and booked a table for Sunday lunch and so glad we did, we arrive half hr early and was greeted warmly by a lovely lady nothing was to much trouble so friendly and welcoming. She answered my question s in detail about the Ale's they had on tap, which I really appreciated, our roast dinners were superb good portion size, plenty of gravy and very tasty. We both had the Eaton Mess for desert, which again was outstanding . Overall, it is really good value for money and really good service. We will definitely be returning next time we stay in the area.

We went for lunch at the Queens Head and had a lovely visit. Very polite staff who made you feel very welcome. I had the prawn starter which was nice and my wife enjoyed her hummus. My fish and chip main was lovely and my wife enjoyed her scampi. Good background music as well! If we are back in the area again we will visit again!

Great gluten free options. The food was all very tasty and well presented. Thank you.

Highly recommended! Fitted us in for an amazing pork Sunday roast at short notice on a Sunday afternoon. Thank you! :)

Great roast pork. We found the Queen's Head after being disappointed that everywhere we tried in Southwold and Walberswick didn't do Sunday lunch during the summer months. Highly recommended. Excellent waiting staff too.

Had three starters to share, fairly priced, decent sized portions (except the tiny chicken wings) and was pretty tasty. Food came out quick and hot and presented well. No issues just have had tastier food elsewhere. We love the owners response to criticism on here so had to leave a review ourselves.

Another fantastic Sunday lunch at the Queen's Head! Excellent service from all of the staff; efficient, professional and always a welcoming smile as you come in. Well worth 5 stars!

Great starter salt and pepper squid and Mediterranean tart. Main meal prawn and crab linguine.. disappointed. Tomato sauce with what seemed liked spaghetti and a few bits of prawns.. couldn't find crab.. that's it.. oh and the bread and butter was OK. But the dessert was so lovely.. not too sweet..sticky toffee pudding.. both had starter. Main meal and dessert. 1 drink each . Large wine... 10.40 !! And gin and tonic.. total bill ... 81.00.. had meal night before. Somewhere else. Again 2 starters. 2 mains. 2 desserts. 2 drinks.. 69.00... preferred night before meal..

Good food friendly staff reasonably priced
