The Queens Head Pub in Solihull

Visited last night, meeting ten friends for drinks and a game of darts. The welcome from the young lady behind the bar was excellent, very friendly. The older chap and lady who spoke to me regarding the fact I moved a table and stools to use the dart board were incredibly rude and unhelpful. Not a pub I will visit again! They shouldn't be in the Pub trade with attitude like that. Drank my drink, phoned our friends and left to a nearby club who were superb!

Fabulous 'normal' pub with an indian cuisine restaurant and takeaway above it. Much appreciated service and reasonably priced.

Traditional pub with a good selection of well-kept beer and a warm welcome from the lady behind the bar. We came here for a drink before heading upstairs to the India restaurant which is 10/10. Will be sure to visit again next time I'm in the area.

Nice pub in Meriden, walked the mile here while staying locally and worth it. Lovely Bar Team who were friendly as were the locals despite me the non local being in their pub which is always a good sign. Beers good quality but not quite the range for me but offset by lively external seating areas front and back and an on site Indian restaurant- wasn't able to use the latter but the food smelled amazing so maybe next time. Worth a stop

Proper traditional pub, not pretentious and quality food at very reasonable prices! Can't ask for any more. Will definitely be back!

Not as flash as the pubs further along the road in Meriden but all the better for that. A traditional pub

Lovely local pub. Friendly and relaxed and the best sandwiches in the Midlands.

Had a sandwich lunch with chips It was really lovely and fresh very filling and with a garnish Scummy!

Nice traditional old pub,not ruined by modernising it,haven't eaten there,but we always enjoy a drink there when we take a drive out from Coventry,plenty of places to sit outside and enjoy the quiet,not having traffic constantly going by,and the staff there are polite

Always a friendly welcome, and great outdoor seating when the weather is nice.

I have been there many times over the years and the place has not changed much, but they serve a good pint of Bass

We were staying in the hotel up the road, but like somewhere more relaxed to have a drink. This place was just right, good beer and a nice atmosphere.

Great Curry , Great Service. Will Definitely be going back soon 👌🏼😋✌🏼

Good value for money. Excellent selection of ale.

Great Draft Bass, shame the Citra ran out one of my favourite beers. Speckled Hen was also on but I find it a bit bland also Bath Gem.

Ate upstairs lovely food made better by excellent draft Bass. Real ale at it's best pity the Oakham's Citra had just ran out

Lovely environment, feels incredibly welcoming. The staff are very friendly and the food was top notch. Felt like a proper pub.

Very much a local’s pub and a very high proportion of customers are older men. Everyone is friendly, but it can get very loud and drown out conversation. My father-in-law loves it. Food generally isn’t available as there’s an Indian restaurant/takeaway upstairs but there are snacks.

Lovely traditional pub with a warm atmosphere, friendly staff and great food

Excellent beer good choice! Good value homemade food!

Nice traditional pub with a warm welcome and decent ales

Nice pub, good beer and food at a fair price 👍

Nice friendly pub. Good atmosphere, with a good lunchtime menu. No evening food. Ample parking.

Bought a pint and stsrted speaking to my friend who also happened to be there, tried eating my packet of crisps but was told I cant in the pub. I took my crisps outside with my pint just for a manager to take away my pint, which I paid for, with no explanation and was very rude and overly aggressive for no reason. He went into the pub, gave me a refund but then said I was banned. Terrible experience, would not return even if I wasn't banned! I think it was because Im an older female and I doubt he would've swiped the pint off another man.

OWNER , alcoholic bully ….. No wonder his wife is so miserable. Shame thou could be great pub 🤔

The food here is fantastic! the amazing chaps that run this place are brilliant. always have a amazing time here!

A great pub, will make it my local.

Had a drink in the sunshine very nice

Great little old pub. Very welcoming. Great food ,great prices.

A proper boozer. Excellent service and real ale. Draft Bass available

A very welcoming pub with great service. A nice large pub garden and carpark

Great pub, great atmosphere superb Guinness 👍

Lovely old pub, friendly service

Very pretty pub, plenty of flowers, nice pint. Ploughman's lunch was a bit basic, I think Gordon Ramseys jobs safe.

We went on a Sunday lunch time to meet up with friends for a catch up. There were 7 of us. We found the staff to be lovely, very chatty and jovial. It had an old fashioned feel to it. Definitely a drinkers pub. We didn't have food, just crisps. There wasn't any loud music, just locals chatting and playing cribbage. Some bikers came, they sat outside and were very friendly as we were chatting to them as we left. Very pretty looking pub with a couple of benches and tables outside. They have some parking at the side but as my husband is disabled we parked on the road outside. Would definitely go back again. We would like to try their Indian restaurant upstairs.

What a throwback..... Great... With a curry house upstairs ...bingo!

Lovely Food fast Service. Cosy tucked away and quiet

Won’t use this place ever again …not made to feel welcome unless your a local in there 7 days a week …staff fine ..landlady not so …dog friendly nope

Terrible place. Dirty grubby old drunks at the bar so u caint get served. Manager is a alcoholic. They allow customer s to drink drive.verbually abused .this is like the pub in the American werewolf in London. Full of weid people and people do drugs in toilet

Terrible dirty pub Full of drunks Even landlord an alcoholic Allow drink driving

Popped in on way to airport. Lively for a Friday teatime, with a good atmosphere and excellent beer.

Interesting pub 🤔. staff where lovely we did a great 11k walk a d this was at the end of it. Pint and wine went down well.

A good old English original country pub, dog friendly, and with a good selection of Beer's and Ciders, what more do you need. We should all support our locals, ues them, or lose them.

Very busy lunchtime pub beer was excellent, food OK and value for money.

Go here regularly good laugh with locals and decent pint, is nice out the front in the summer.

Love the place, proper old school pub 👌

Excellent. Beautiful old English pub. Excellent staff

Nice looking pub, very old which is nice as it has charm. Prices were cheap but the food reflected this which is a shame. Bit of a weird atmosphere when you walk in and the locals propping up the bar look at you like you are a tourist and not exactly welcoming. Wouldn't return as the food wasnt enjoyable, it's a shame as with the style of the pub and how it's secluded this could be a real hidden gem but it's lacking quite a bit

Decent pub with a separate Indian restaurant located above, a little dated but good food and ale .

Standard food service epic environment

Best curry so far this year the curry club has given this place 5 stars.

Lovely traditional country pub atmosphere. Everyone very friendly.

Saved my life last night, I dropped in whilst running the Coventry Way desperate for a coke! Lovely locals too

Lovely old place. Great food and staff very friendly

Proper country pub, very friendly, good choice of beers and real ales but little bit pricey!

The pub was okay the food was standard.

Nice place to spend a couple of hours and reasonably priced food.

Queens Head such a friendly place. We go for lunch when we walk in the area. Cannot fault the service and the food is exceptional value. Recommend highly

Good service from James and Caroline, good beer, great food from Stuart the chef come GM, good folks

A fantastic homely pub, nestled away, with the most welcoming staff and regulars. Can't recommend this place enough.

Nice old school pub,landlady always hospitable ,DF

This is a fabulous pub , with a peaceful ,sunny beer garden, tucked away in Meriden. Lovely staff and clientele. Really friendly atmosphere. The perfect place to watch the Ladies Euro final !

Typical pub with good quality inexpensive lunchtime food. Would be happy to return.

Good food, friendly and old world comfort, love it.

Appalling experience through and through. Where do I even begin? Firstly, the staff are absolutely miserable and treat you like dirt. It's like they hate their job and they're taking it out on you. Furthermore, this place is as clicky as they come. Don't expect to feel welcome as you enter and all the locals sitting at the bar all pass you up with eyes of fire like you're some sort of scumbag or scourge because you're not from around there. It's actually quite sickening. Could it get any worse? Oh, yes it can! Don't get me started on the owners. They're rude, miserable and won't treat you with an ounce of respect unless you are local. Not only that, but a good friend of mine actually WORKED here as the groundsman and he said about how the male owner wasn't willing to pay him barely minimum wage to keep the grounds maintained, and HE had to gall to fire HIM! Clearly the owners do not care about you if you're not local, they don't care about their workers and they're not interested in investing in their establishment to keep its premises and grounds looking their best. If you see the other reviews stating how scruffy the garden looks, this is why. But wait, there's more! After going through the absolute trial of finally getting to the bar to order because of the locals being unwilling to let us past, dealing with the miserable barmaid, having a long wait and then being served quite frankly subpar food, I cannot give this a low enough score. 1 star is being outrageously generous. So, to conclude and summarise: - Unprofessional, miserable, rude staff; - Vile owners; - Potential breaches of the modern slavery act taking place; - Clicky; - High prices that do not reflect the quality of the food and drinks. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. PLEASE.

Lovely take out pint a few weeks ago, very professional safe service in these Covid times, thank you x We returned this week and sat in the beer garden, nice friendly and relaxed.

Great service and friendly atmosphere

Very good beer and a nice country pub. Curry house above is also very good

Cracking little pub proper old school, nice atmosphere half brummie half Cov the staff couldn’t do enough to help 10/10

Lovely pub that's like stepping back in time to when pubs were a social hub for the local community. Excellent beer that's well kept.

Proper pub. Gardens scruffy, indeed the inside is pleasantly careworn. Great beer, friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. Simple food, suited us.

NIce pub with a locals feel. friendly staff, good selection of beers, tv's showing the rugby, chatty regulars. good stuff. would recommend. Lots of outside seating in areas catching the afternoon and early evening sun. with indian restaurant upstairs.

Good service. Traditional pub. Staff friendly.

Nice pub with a great atmosphere. Indian at the back so result!!

Good beer. Nice atmosphere. Pity you can't eat food ordered from the restaurant above in the pub.

Great traditional pub, welcoming, good grub, good beer, good vibes!! Cheers

Fantastic pub, great atmosphere, wish it was my local, best Indian upstairs, thank you.

Friendly traditional English pub, beers really good to!

Brilliant pub friendly staff and patrons

Great staff, nice friendly atmosphere & Meriden Spice upstairs

Really friendly publicans. Menu a bit simple but if you want a good old fashioned welcome and a pint very nice. Pub outdated but must be a bit of a struggle these days

Good beer, nice friendly atmosphere

Whilst waiting to go to the Meriden Spice with the family, we managed (6 of us) to get a table in the pub. As this was social distancing times, we were given the buzzer and when ready we could order our drinks. The bar lady was really pleasant and served our drinks to the table. Enjoyable. Unlikely to go again, as I'm not likely to be going to Meriden (no reason to), but if you do go, then you'll enjoy. PS. Unsure what the situation is like now.

Too many people around the bar and was very noisy.

Stopped off for a cheeky pint and a bite to eat for lunch which was not bad value. Sat in the sunshine out the front. Staff we're nice.

Good beer and a friendly atmosphere

Very helpful and kind staff. Good variety of beer. Ample beer garden. Perfect stop for a walk around Meriden.

Freidly pub where you can sit down and chat with friends and regulars and people passing through or staying in the area , staff make you feel welcome, and the beer is refreshing , will definitely be going back for another visit . Tables outside too

Really nice traditional pub. Friendly staff. Serve a good pint

Great place for a lunch break on out walk. Good range of beers. Vert friendly staff.

Went for a curry at Meriden Spice, not the pub

Very nice pub off the main road good meal and drink selection

Great venue after our walk for a couple pints to hydrate! Friendly staff.

Fantastic service, friendly traditional and a fantastic curry house upstairs.

Always great beer & friendly service 👍🏻

Good value beautifully served food and friendly staff. We visit regularly and always consistent

Good choice of beers good system for ordering and good food, can't go wrong

It's a refreshing change to go to a pub these days that offers a large and decent selection of drinks and genuine family-run service at sensible prices without the pretentious veneer of most brewery-owned pubs in Solihull.

Great Indian takeaway at the back of it also.
