Bucking Fastard left this review about Queens Head
An L shaped pub with a modern feel,the sign near the entrance saying No Riff Raff was clearly apocryphal.To the left is a series of small dining style tables while the bar is nearby but along a corridor with two banquettes,some upturned tuns to rest pints and a small two seater table.The beer garden was busy and is paved and slightly raised.There are bar stools which allowed a regular to keep an eye on me,and the barmaid also stared at me before serving which took a long time despite no other punters at the bar.It felt cliquey and earwigging it was clear this is a chav hangout,people probably not too welcome elsewhere.
As you might expect no real ale so a half of Neck Oil at a ludicrous £3.30 was seemingly the best option.Keep on walking past would be my advice.

Strongers . left this review about The Queens Head
After seeing food advertised on the A-board outside my wife and I decided to pop into the Queens Head late on a recent Thursday afternoon for a bite to eat. From this A-board we learned that the kitchen hours are midday until 15:00 and 17:00 until 21:00 Monday through to Saturday and midday until 17:00 on Sundays. After entering the L shaped interior we were put off eating by the loud dance music that was being enjoyed by the young bar staff and two customers. It was a shame because I wouldn’t have minded eating whilst watching a bit of the tennis from Roland Garros that was being shown on the plasma screen courtesy of Eurosport. After ordering a couple of generic lagers we decided to sit in the paved beer garden out the back. Cask Elgoods’ Cambridge Bitter and Sharps’ Doom Bar were also available from two hand pumps.
The enclosed beer garden is quite large and is full of plastic wicker furniture. It was a reasonable spot for some alfresco drinking, but the extractor fan from the kitchen was pumping out a stench of old chip fat.
We weren’t overly impressed with this place so would probably walk past if in the area again.
