Da un veloce giro di tavolo, tra me italiano e famigliari inglese/americani/scozzesi, è emerso che il cibo non era un granché. Non terribile ma poteva essere meglio. Il pub e la zona sono carini.

Beautiful country pub perfect for a big roast after a long walk. They even provided beef and gravy for our very obliging dog! The only downside is that the veggies could use more seasoning

This is such a hidden gem. If you blink, you'll miss the road, but you'll soon regret it if you don't experience the beauty and the gorgeous seating at the rear. Great service and lovely smiled on entry. The rear space for seating and entertaining is fabulous. Come and see for yourself. It's my favourite country pub around and I'm new to the area but boy is it great. Great value for money and service you get.

What an absolute gem of a pub. We come up monthly to see friends and tried this place out as our usual had closed down; wish we’d tried it sooner! Great service, lovely food and a fabulous outdoor area that’s lovely on a sunny afternoon and it’s dog friendly inside and out! Would definitely recommend The Queens Head!

What can I say!! What an amazing experience we’ve had. The food was amazing and the service was really attentive. Great vegetarian option. The pub is really cute and unique. Our kids enjoyed their meal as we did. ( our kids are fussy so an empty plate is a good thing) Food was fresh and we will be be back. We came from Essex to meet our friends from Milton Keynes for a dog walk. Very dog friendly too as they did sausages for them and dog treats. Thank you so much for your hospitality!

Traditional English pub near a nice old church, serving food and drinks. Food is the typical English/pub style, with a good choice of english and international beers. I tried fish and chips with an Amber Ale, very good both. Prices on average. Nice atmosphere inside with fireplaces, and it looks like there is also a nice garden outside (not tried). Small parking lot outside.

My daughter (32) brought me here for Mother's Day lunch after I had looked it up and seen that there would be gluten free and vegetarian options and she booked in advance. We were seated by the front door which was frequently left open which caused quite a cold draft. On visiting the ladies (nice and clean) I became aware that the more pleasant area to eat was in the main part of the pub. I was disappointed to learn that the nut roast wasn't gluten free but there wasn't an alternative, so I just ate a little of it and sorry to say it was very dull. They tried with the gluten free gravy but it was very watery and they gave me a gluten free Yorkshire pud which looked shop bought but was OK. The parsnips were burnt to the extent that they were too hard to cut, but the rest of the veggies were quite nice. My daughter's roast looked lovely and I wished I could have eaten it, but sadly my digestion can't cope - she had the lamb and her Yorkshire pudding was huge and home made. Her only complaint was that she hadn't realised that it would be mint gravy as she doesn't like mint! I was hoping for pudding but was told there weren't any gluten free options! The young man later said that he'd been mistaken and that there was one option after all, but no dairy free cream or sorbet or anything to go with it, so I declined. I then asked for a cup of tea with a dairy alternative (anything would have done - soya, oat, almond etc) , but was told they didn't have any. If you don't have any dietary requirements, I'm sure the food is lovely and it's in a quaint setting beside the church. I wish I didn't have to appear like I'm being awkward as it does make eating out tricky and the place is obviously popular as it was very busy.

Had a disappointing mother's day Sunday lunch here. In terms of service, the waiter asked for our drinks order before we'd even sat down at the table which was a bit too keen for my liking, but was otherwise attentive and helpful. The staff didn't seem to communicate well with each other, as another member of staff kept appearing almost immediately after we'd already been served to ask if we wanted anything. I was expecting more for going out on mothers day food wise, and I wasn't a fan of the roast at all unfortunately. All the veg including potatoes tasted bland and unseasoned and I think it's the first time in my life I've never finished a Yorkshire pudding (the best bit of a roast in my opinion!), which had a burnt and smokey taste to it. The lamb looked like thin sandwich meat which was disappointing. I also didn't like the mint gravy. I didn't feel it was worth £16.95. There were no gluten free or appealing dairy free dessert options which generally are easy to come by these days. There were also no dairy milk alternatives for hot drinks post meal, so our meal ended earlier than planned as we ventured elsewhere to seek cups of tea and pudding. There was no dessert menu online that I could see before arriving to judge better ahead of making the booking. Attaching it for future customers! Would not return.

The cherry crumble was lovely nice thick topping and the custard was nice consistency. It was all cooked lovely and we loved the variety of vegetables. The staff are really helpful and very friendly thank you can't wait to go again at the end of Feb yum yum 👏😋

Popped in for lunch while out walking in the local woods. The atmosphere was warm and cosy, the staff helpful and the tables clean and inviting under the exposed beam decor. I had chilli and chips with a pint of Doom Bar, my wife had baked potato with prawn cocktail and salad with a cup of tea. The prices were great, the food and drinks excellent. We haven't been for a couple of years and The Queen's Head has changed for the better. Overall, the best pub lunch I've had in many years.

Trying to recall all that happened and it starts with a call I just missed a few days before our booking. Tried all afternoon up til 8.00 pm. to return call but constantly engaged. Finally got through at about 10.00 the following day to be told it's normal for them to check the customer intends to keep the booking. Confirmed of course. Always worry when never been to the pub that parking is available. On our first approach no luck. Went down the lane to the end. Turned around as there might have been a space but could have blocked a gate. On our return approach someone was leaving. All ok. Arrived a little early. Lovely oldie pub. Busy. Table a bit small didn't notice it rotated until food arrived. Unable to cut the beef. Moved to another table immediately. The beef texture was good medium cooked. and plenty. Lovely people.Had to move to another table as our was reserved for a bigger party. My wife wanted some fruit. They only had strawberries used for use with the sundaes but they must have run out so they went to buy some. It shows how willing they are to keep their customers happy. A great place. Just don't be in a hurry.

A chance Saturday lunch here at the end of November. Did not know what to expect and was really surprised at the warm, friendly atmosphere. We were early, did not book and were fortunate to get a table since later it was fully booked. Good range of drinks and a tempting menu. The specials were good and well remembered. Service was friendly and pleasantly unsophisticated. We liked it a lot. Portions were very generous and my downfall was the Sticky Toffee Pudding. We really liked this place a lot and will ensure we visit again when next in the area. Parking is a problem but as early birds we were lucky , Just !!

The food was really good I booked a table prior for my nans 80th birthday but we wasn't seated until half 4 I understand the pub was very busy but we arrive 10 minutes early so with 3 young children we waited 40 minutes for a table my children were complaining of being hungry so although the food was really good I don't think I would return. Service was slow and after being seated late and having to drive an hour away we couldn't stay for a dessert as I was worried time would run very late.
