Steve of N21 left this review about The Queens Head

What a fantastic rambling country pub this is. The split level multi roomed beamed interior with its various distinct areas is well described by Steve below and the views from the garden across the Brede levels all the way to Rye Harbour on a fine day are superb.
It is well renowned for its pub food and nearly everyone else here was eating, both inside and outside, but then we did visit on a Sunday lunchtime. However, we were only here for a beer and it that respect it did not disappoint. If you enter from the front, you first come to the top section of the bar with its four handpumps, but others lurk on the lower bar section. Fortunately, there is a chalk board in this upper section that details what is on. For our visit five ales were available across the pumps and alongside the obligatory Harveys Sussex Best were Green King Abbot, Tonbridge IPA, Lakedown Sussex Pale and Cellarhead Session Pale Ale. We tried the Lakedown and Cellarhead brews between us and they were both very good.
If you are travelling the South Coast in the Hastings, Rye area then this one is highly recommended taking a detour for.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Queens Head

Unusually situated off a back lane behind some other houses, this fine old pub has a splendid view towards Winchelsea and the Brede Levels from the front beer garden. Looking back the other way, the white lettering on the roof tiles (although now somewhat faded) must be visible for miles. It also has an unusual tiled pub sign, although this only dates from 1995. Anyway, it has a rather rambling, slightly split-level, multi-room, L-shaped interior; all very traditional. In accordance with the local byelaws, Harvey's was available from one of the many handpumps, along with Abbot, Nelson Sirius Session Pale (£4.50) and the more local Three Acre Session IPA.

The Queen's Head was my last pub before paying a return visit to the Waterworks at Rye. The Queen's Head itself is also certainly worthy of a visit. It is tucked away from the main road and has some marvellous views of the surrounding countryside.

Outdoor drinking is currently in a garden, which contains a couple of marquees where diners are seated. Some of the pub's furniture can also be found at the front of the pub for further drinking space.

During my mid-afternoon visit, there were still plenty of people eating lunch. Greene King Abbot & Long Man Long Blonde are the regular ales. A guest beer was Adnams Ghost Ship. I was drawn to the Biddenden's Dry. It seems to be harder and harder to find real cider right now. So, I couldn't turn the opportunity down.

I did briefly glance inside the pub, which looked like a fairly traditional and cosy village local. There was also a smattering of local drinkers, in addition to the diners, which is always a good sign.
