Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The British Queen
Relatively unspoilt suburban pub with three separate rooms in a L-shaped arrangement and some coloured glass retained in the front windows. Simple, traditional furniture in the public bar (with pool table) at the front, the slightly larger saloon bar on the left-hand side and in rear dining lounge. Duplicated selection of London Pride, the local Long Man Best Bitter (£4.50) and Old Rosie cider from the bank of four handpumps on each counter.

Steve C left this review about The British Queen
The British Queen has a nice sized lounge bar with wall seating and an over eighteens public bar that houses a dartboard, pool table, two plasma screens and a jukebox. Music is advertised for Saturdays and Sundays, there is a meat raffle every Sunday at 14:00 and the weekly quiz is held every Thursday from 21:00. The bar supports four hand pumps that were drawing Pride, Harveys Best and Old Sussex alongside Old Rosie cider and there is a standard draught selection from which the barman poured a decent pint of Guinness that came in at £3.30. Food is served, but I didn’t note what times the kitchen is open. There is a car park and some picnics can be found outside along with a smoking shelter.
This is a local’s boozer and although I got the stare from everyone as I walked in they soon got on with there own evenings and stopped eyeballing me. I’m not sure that I would go out of my way to drink here again, but I’d have no problem popping in for a quick half if passing by.
