I went for Dinner to the Queens Head last night with a couple of friends of mine because we were visiting Eddy who is a local and recommended this place. I have to say that it is a warm, very nicely decorated and very inviting pub-restaurant with a good array of beers and more particularly for me, they sell Good Quality Alcohol Free beer [Ghost Ship] and not the brands that taste so awful, so it was off to a good start. Eddy had booked a table for us and we sat at our Reserved table and we were presented with the Menus to review at our leisure. Now it is Thai cuisine and whilst it is not normally my 'first choice' cuisine, I was pleasantly surprised at the extent of both the Menu and the 'Specials' board;' after a brief review of the Specials board, I chose a starter of 'Dim Sum of minced beef and prawn' and a Main course of Roast Duck in red curry with lychee and pineapple and that was served with boiled rice. Well, the Starter was delivered by the Chef and first impressions -very nicely presented - a selection of Dim Sum and a dipping sauce as well as the usual Thai expert knife work on a carrot! ...however, the proof would be in the eating and it did not disappoint. Full of flavour, cooked to perfection and with a perfect dip; very impressed. Then the Main was brought out by the Chef and likewise, very nicely presented. At first I was not too sure about the balance of both lychee and pineapple in a curry but it was perfect with the Duck and vegetables. The taste of that was absolutely excellent and the lychee and pineapple calmed the traditional Thai spice to a perfect lingering tang. Being on a roll, we all decided to take Dessert and I chose a selection of 3 ice creams and the choice was very different to the usual boring menu selection you see at most restaurants with limited vision and so I selected 'toffee and banana' and 'coconut' and 'salted caramel' and they were all a perfect blend and tasted superb. The bill was presented and we were happy to leave a 15% gratuity because it was worth every penny BUT they do not add service to your bill and it is a 'choice' thing really. If you are reading this and have not tried The Queens Head, as I had not, then definitely do try it. ...for me, it was a 'stand out meal' across all three courses and I will definitely go there again the next time I visit that part of the country.

Came here for dinner this evening with my mum as she works around the corner we thought we would have a nice last dinner out because i am expecting. It was very busy which is understandable but we were offered a table and ordered our meal around 7.30pm, by 8.30 we were still waiting and was about to leave then our starters came and we were told the main course meal is coming which took us up till 9pm, we were so hungry and disappointed at this point we decided to take our main as a takeaway which then took another 15mins to pack! We were told its a busy village pub and locals are happy for wait to good authentic thai food, no apology what so ever just quiteness from the manager who came to take payment, even whilst we was waiting it would of been nice customer service to explain to us they are short staffed and there is a wait, instead all other tables got served and we were told others have been waiting too, if others are happy to wait nearly an hour or over for their food then fair enough but we didn't expect ignorance from the staff and again NO APOLOGY for the wait or ignorance! First and last time we will come here as locals or bigger groups of people making big orders were priority over us. The main course might be cooked fresh but not that much of an authentic thai dish, its more simple to make than a curry and I am indian so I know that, the main course red thai curry was flavoursome but more cream in the dish, no authentic thai flavours of lemon grass either, more veg than meat. Whether this review is helpful to others or not, customers have a right to complain and their opinion and the most disappointing part of the evening is not even being given an apology and pure ignorance! Left hungry waiting to get home to eat the main by then appetite had gone from the disappointment. If you want a good thai meal where there is friendly staff and not a long wait because of being short staffed then go to three hoops on eversden or wrestlers on newmarket road, at least you get free prawn crackers!

Excellent. Lovely atmosphere, attractive surroundings and attentive staff. Food was authentic, very tasty and lots of it. We dined on a 2 course deal night (Monday - Wednesday) for £13. Very good value and portion size wasn’t scrimped. We will be back.
