皇后之首飯店(Queens Head Inn)

We gathered here for my cousin’s 60th and it’s a proper village pub with friendly staff, good food and a good selection of real ale. There’s a lovely outdoor space close to the water and the pub put on a fantastic barbecue, really exceptionally well cooked, tasty food. We hadn’t managed to book a room here and stayed at the Haycroft Manor up the road at Wansted (also highly recommend this). When I asked about getting a cab over there, the landlord said he’d take us himself…really kind and way beyond what he had to do! I’m not suggesting that would be a regular thing, but it tells you a lot about the sort of warm and friendly place it is!

Having booked at 11.30 am on Sunday Morning for a 14.45 dinner when it was served disappointingly they had run out of Cauliflower cheese. They could have told this when we arrived but no waited until they served us with the remark 'sorry we've run out of Cauliflower cheese we'll knock fiver off the bill', both my wife and daughter were looking forward to having Cauliflower cheese with their dinner. When i asked the chef why they had run out he said (arrogantly) it was because we had booked late, and he had prepared all it all early in the morning! Really, giving over 3 hours notice is a late booking for a restaurant? why take the booking if they knew they never had enough stock. They were not very busy so that was no excuse, the bowl of vegetables for 3 people was paltry with that attitude towards customers we wont be going back!

Have stayed a few times over the years, the room was nice, but could do with a make over, and the shower needs something doing with it, it isn't a walk in shower, more like a climb in. Food in the restaurant was delicious, even though there wasn't a big choice, it was all delicious, the chef even made fresh apple sauce for one of the party. Hopefully next time we stay, we will see a difference min the room

Such a lovely country pub with a real warm and friendly environment. A real country feel with a beautiful log fire and amazing food. Highly recommend to everyone. 100% will be returning. Great experience

Had dinner here, service was slow, food very reminiscent of the 80’s and expensive. Needs a better, more creative menu. The hand cut chips were excellent and the French fries below average so why serve the burger only with these? Give an option. Also, the burger bun was like something from the market whereas brioche would have been way better and the burger, whilst huge was devoid of any flavour.

Had a 2 night stay here including breakfast. The pub itself was cosy and very friendly. Rooms let down by cleanliness I’m sad to say. Shower and sink plug holes full of hair, cobwebs in corners and room was just tired looking. We had 2 evening meals… food delicious. Served hot and very tasty… best pub meals I’ve had in a very long time. Breakfast was great, really tasty.Big choice cereal toast and a full English of your choice with tea/coffee. Plenty of room to park. Location was fab… beautiful area and would love to revisit in warmer months.

Fantastic Sunday lunch I would say one of the best around good price nice friendly atmosphere would say you are definitely BACK on my list of places for Sunday lunch all home made keylime pie and ice cream Mmmmm

Nice quiet village, hotel was good, good food, very welcoming staff, & friendly. Small bar, restaurant area at present having a refurb, should be finished at the end of this week. Excellent local real ale. Bedrooms good, very comfy bed. Would recommend.

This restaurant may not have had the widest menu available when we visited but the food was excellent. My braised beef with three root mash was delicious and served with lots of fresh vegetables, gluten free too. Compliments to the chef.
