Will Larter left this review about The Queens Arms
A very similar line-up to what Ray reports below (four local beers plus Pedigree), and like him I have an objection to pubs being painted grey - thankfully in this case it's only the interior. I would quite like this one if it wasn't for the totally annoying "background" music. It's like being in a disco, loud and bass-heavy, just with nobody dancing. My beer, local Brampton Brewery's Golden Bud, was very good (NBSS 3.5) and might have been a 4 if it hadn't been just a bit too cold. The pub likewise might have been better than 6 in my estimation if it hadn't been so noisy, and grey.

Real Ale Ray left this review about The Queens Arms
This is a good sized stone built corner pub, which is Grade II listed. Unfortunately the interior has been given the grey painted everywhere look. The bar area still looked smart and a lit coal fire added a bit of ambience to the place. The barman was attentive and knew his beers. Five pumps with four in use serving Whim Ales Hartington IPA, Peak Ales West Coast IPA, Eyam Riley's Gold and Marstons Pedigree.
