This is an excellent multi-roomed traditional pub. There were just 3 ales on across the 4 pumps when I was in, but the Castle Rock Harvest Pale was in good nick, and this was yet another Hinckley pub offering Bass. Plenty of comfortable seating in the main room and beyond.
BBC1's Pointless on the big screen above the bar was a bit distracting. Nevertheless, this is definitely a pub worth viewing for the experience, if not for the broad range, which hardly matters in a pub this good.

Absolutely stunning place hidden behind a fairly modest facade, described in depth below. Tl;dr – multi-roomed, traditional comfy place with lots to catch the eye. It’s a refurb n’ reclamation job by the current owners, so don’t think you’re necessarily sitting in an original timewarp, think BCA on steroids. Four or five cask on the go usually, I’ve Bass’d it here a couple of times since my first visit and the cask is always GBG condition. The downside is the ‘late in the day’ opening on weekdays so make sure you build in enough time. Roast tatties at the bar on a Sunday afternoon. My favourite in this underrated pub town.

The Queen's Head was certainly one of the highlights of our visit to Hinckley. Whilst the Elbow Room and the Pestle & Mortar offered the best beer and cider selections respectively, the Queen's Head has the finest interior of the pubs we visited.
The entranceway has some lovely tiling and a large Tetley's lamp. There are rooms off to the left and right, both with open coal fires and wallpaper. The one to the left was lit, but not the one on the right. The entranceway gives way to a corridor as you move past the bar with successive rooms on gradually increasing levels up to another corridor containing the toilets.
On the bar were complimentary cheese and pickles for New Year's Eve. Draught Bass is the regular cask ale. Guests were Abbeydale Winter & Doctor Morton's Proper Gander & Pennine Amber Necker. Beavertown Neck Oil was on keg. The cider was Carling Black Fruit. There was a TV above the bar, which slightly spoiled the decor.
Deservedly featured in the Good Beer Guide, this is a lovely example of a Victorian pub.
