The Queens Head

Treated a party of 8 for a Sunday lunch/birthday bash. One of our party is gluten free which can be a problem, the staff were very good with the way they advised them, very impressive. All the staff were very good. The food was lovely and there was a good selection, drinks were very nice, the environment was very pleasant, the delivery of the birthday cake was great (and nicely embarrassing for the birthday teenager) a little bit expensive but hay ho, have had no problem recommending this establishment.

There's something on the menu to suit all tastes at The Queen's Head. You won't be disappointed whether you want a 3 course meal or just a quick snack. They offer a variety of breads (homemade sesame seed bun, gluten-free bun or baked tortilla wrap) to go with the delicious meat, veggie & vegan burgers for which there are multiple toppings to choose from too... I loved my burger encased in a toasted tortilla wrap, because it was just as tasty, but far easier to eat than messing around trying to hold a bun together! The Mains menu really left my wife spoilt for choice. She liked the sound of absolutely everything on it! In the end she opted for Short rib of beef slow-braised in dark ale, with grilled leeks & wild mushrooms. It would have come with spring onion mash, but she wanted to try their beef dripping chips, so asked for those with it instead. They happily obliged and her meal was served exactly as she'd requested. Our meals were well presented and absolutely delicious. There are lots of reasonably priced drinks to choose from too. We were completely full, so didn't order a dessert this time. We did spy Baked ginger parkin with chargrilled peaches & clotted cream on the menu though, so we will be returning very soon to try that! All in all, we had a great meal, served by friendly staff in a lovely village pub. Long may this queen reign!
