The Queens Head, WC1

The Queens Head is an open plan pub with a low table to the left of the entrance under the front window. The bar on the left hand wall faces some seating along the right and at the rear is a large table where a group, not unlike the Pubs Galore Shed Dwellers, were supping beer and eating sharing platters of meat and cheese. During my recent Monday afternoon visit the bar was stocked with European premium/craft lagers and the three hand pumps were drawing Saltaire Brewery’s Triple Chocoholic, Redemption Brewing’s Trinity and XT Brewing Company’s One (Blonde). On the back bar I also spotted of a couple of boxes that were dispensing real cider. The food available during the afternoon consisted of bar snacks and the aforementioned platters. There are no televisions in here and the only sign of music was the jazz, ragtime and blues advertised for Thursdays and Sundays. Free Wifi was advertised. Out the front are a couple of picnic tables and there is a small enclosed decked area at the rear with some graffiti art on the walls. This area is designed for smokers. I found the service to be polite and it was nice to see an effort being made in the selection of beer. I would enjoy a revisit to this pub.

Called in yesterday to try the beer from Queens Head brewery or QHB as it is sometimes known as and it went down a treat. Also had a Redemption beer on, and appeared to be a popular local pub.
