The Queen Hotel, Todmorden

Although now open you can only get a drink if you are a guest at the Hotel as we found out last Thursday on our yearly trip to Tod

Built on the side of a hill, the Queen has an entrance facing the station opposite, with a lower level behind including a beer garden. The interior has a slightly mundane hotel rather than pub-like feel, with a couple of large carpeted lounge rooms and a bar off to one side. There is also a small area with a pool table by the entrance. Beers on offer were Moorhouse's Blonde Witch, Timothy Taylor's Landlord and George Wright Blonde Moment. On the whole, the place is not unpleasant but lacking any real character.

The Queen Hotel is a stone built pub that is handily placed right outside Todmorden's train station. Once inside there is a single irregular shaped room with the bar on the right side,the room is carpeted,the seating is comfy chairs and settees and some normal tables and chairs and some tall tables and chairs to the rear right,there is a raised area near the bar,the left side of the room is set aside for diners. There were three real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Empire Strikes Back which was a decent drink,the other beers were Taylor Landlord and Moorhouses Blonde Witch. Background music was playing and food was about to be served. I thought this was a very comfortable pub to have a drink in. Pub visited 24/9/2016
