ROB Camra left this review about The Queens
Newly reopened by a new manageress. It's a huge pub and on a Sunday evening the three of us that were in rattled around a bit. There's a pool table at one end which was being used by a young couple and one other bloke sat at the bar who, luckily was quite chatty as was the manageress. Only Holts Bitter available on the bar and as it had been a long day I just had a half which was in decent nick. It's going to take a lot of effort to make this place pay, so I wished her good luck and went on my way.

I popped into the Queens at bang on 21:00 on a recent Monday evening and was served by a chirpy barmaid. One of the two locals sat at the bar reminded her that she was meant to close at 21:00. She didn’t seem to care, and also served some pissed up bloke from Stoke who walked in five minutes after me. I knew he was from Stoke because I had just escaped his conversation when I legged it from the George & Dragon around the corner.
This is a high ceiling open plan pub that has carpeted seating to the right and a dance floor to the left against a low stage area on the left wall. In the left rear is more seating and to the right of the entrance is a pool table. Football is shown. The relatively short bar counter on the rear wall supports standard and premium keg alongside a couple of hand pumps that were drawing Holts Bitter. Upon seeing ‘Stoke Born & Bred, Man & Boy’ I decided to slosh back my half lager and slip out into the night.

Large, attractive building opposite the station. Disappointing inside, there's some nice old touches if you look such as the wood panelling but the interior’s been gutted into a large oblong room. One other customer on a cold and dank grey day. Just one cask, a well-past-its-best Holts Mild (NBSS 1.5). A pile of puke in the toilet sink, maybe someone had tried to skull a pint of that stinky pong earlier. A better operator could make something special of this. 4.5

I only had time for a brief visit here. It's an L shaped room with a mix of wooden floors and carpets. I noticed Karaoke was advertised.
I remember when this became a Holts pub back in the late eighties or early nineties. on my visit the four hand pumps had Holt's Bitter & Two Hoots and Well's Bombardier with one unused. I went for the Holt's Bitter, something I hadn't tried for years and it went down a treat. I didn't write the price down but I think it was £3.00.
I got the impression that this is very much a local's pub but I thought it well worth a look.

Directly opposite the station. A large pub that's open plan with various offset seating areas. A few real ales were available.

The Queens Hotel is a very large pub opposite the train station.
This pub had more than one room and i went in the lounge which was very smart and comfortable this is a Joseph Holt tied house and there were two of their beers on the bar i had a drink of Holts bitter and this was a really nice drink the other beer was Holts mild.
I was quite happy in this pub the beer was good and the pub was nice.
