First time coming here , and I can't even say how good the food was , it's was absolutely beyond fantastic. Portion sizes were great , we had the share platter for starter and the specials lamb burger and lamb chops , the taste was just sublime. Staff super friendly and made us feel welcome, was lovely and cosy with the open fire going. We will 100% be back . Thank you againVegetarian options: There are a variety of vegetarian options and gluten freeParking: Lots of spaces in the car park

Good food. Friendly staff. Flexible chef. No complaints.Wheelchair accessibility: It's an old building with a narrow door, but with assistance it is accessible.

Lovely old village pub. Young staff but good, attentive, courteous and efficient. The Chef is to be congratulated as the Queens Burger and the Linguine dish were fabulous so I’m confident that the rest of the menu would be equally great. Prices are fair for drink and food.Music was good and at nice background levels. Overall a very enjoyable afternoon. Looking forward to the spring and summer and using the large beautiful beer garden.

Lovely country pub. The food was really good and the bar staff fantastic and attentive. Would have scored a 5 for the atmosphere but for the two guys at the bar who's conversation got louder and more full of expletives as time went on.

Always a lovely pub to hole up in to keep cosy and warm when the weather turns. And a fine garden to while away the summer evenings with Food, drink and good company.The food is exceptional, from nibbles to Sunday roasts, All cooked and served with care and attention.The staff are always friendly with a smile, and are prompt at service.Always had a good experience at The Queens head and would recommend it whole-heartedly.

This pub is on a downward spiral, when James and Ginny had it, it was a hub for both locals and visitors alike, lots of atmosphere and you were always made welcome. How things change in a short space of time. Living in the village we used to support and go 2-3 times every week, spending between £200-£300. When the new owners took over we hoped to continue. You have to give them a chance as no one likes change. The previous comments are right, the food is not up to standard, always running out, the drinks are well over priced, £10.20 for a glass of wine, i have said before you wouldn't pay that in a first class restaurant. The new clientele are rude, loud, shouting and swearing, running back and forth from the garden. James, used to control all of this but the new owners are happy to let it go. I've picked up many empty cans of beer thrown the other side of the wall. I do hope for the owners sake that beer is not being brought in. Things need to change otherwise there will not be a pub in the village and that will be a great shame.
This spot used to be a lovely pub with a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Went for drinks around the festive period and it was like a club. Someone took the odd decision to blare music from the speakers, which didn't do a lot for the ambience - I remember exchanging a few painful smiles with a couple at the nearby table, who also didn't seem to appreciate the noise. I wonder if the music was to drown out the customers. Since the new management took over there's a new clientelle that seem to have taken to yelling, singing, running about and generally acting like entitled idiots. While this obviously isn't everyone who enters the pub, it's a common trend that's been prevalent every time I've gone in since new people took over (I've visited 4 times). It seems a shame that the management would rather let this slip than act as management - they instead stand back awkwardly and watch with a nervous smile. It's a real shame and it makes me not want to go back to a pub I used to really enjoy. It is great that the place is still going strong under new people and making plenty of money. They clearly won't lose out by losing my custom, nor would I think I matter enough to make any difference. But I wanted to explain why I've taken the decision to never go back. I wish them the best for the future.

Visited not long back whilst in the area visiting friends. Lovely Aesthetic but the service is somewhat lacking unfortunately. Ordered a pint of guiness and the manager Greg was very rude and just seemed adamant on rushing everyone through, couldn’t even enjoy my pint, wasn’t a very relaxing atmosphere which was not ideal as after travelling all day from Yorkshire I was quite looking forward to a relaxing catch-up with friends.. And calling last orders from 10:20 was just silly Will not be in a rush to return again, which is a shame because as I mentioned the pub itself looks lovely.

I have been a regular at the Queens Head for nearly sixty years, not anymore. Just over six months ago the lease was taken over by new tenants. Since then it has gone from what was a very friendly pub run by James Wheatley, to a very unfriendly, and very expensive place. They have recently decided to start shutting early in the evenings, Monday to Thursdays, so we decided to go on a Friday evening. What a big mistake that was. The person who calls himself General Manager named Greg was ' in charge' He has the personality of a brick, no good evening welcome or greeting whatsoever, he just stood behind the bar waiting for an order. We had gone on the Friday as said, because we expected to be able to order until last orders at 10.50 pm as we have done for many years, no luck there, come 10.25 we were told that last orders were being called. We ordered a round, but what I was served very nearly made me sick on the spot. No idea what it was, and absolutely no appology from Greg, only said he didn't have what I had ordered because it had all gone. He offered to get more in stock if I wanted, but in view of the fact I will not be going back there I declined the offer, and also voiced my opinion of his lack of people skills, he just stood there with a completely blank expression. Having read previous comments I cannot help but notice the owners replies to some, that they will take on board criticisms made. They have had over six months to do so, but things have just gone from bad to awful. If you want a pub that is freezing cold, with Gregs personality at a similar temp', and overpriced drinks, then please go there.

We enjoyed a lovely family lunch. The food was delicious and the service was good and friendly. The only thing was it was quite slow with the food arriving from ordering.
