The Queen's Chew Magna

We went at 1.45 Sunday 4/6. We had a warm welcome from Jean. We decided to have drinks in a very pleasant sunny garden. Our order was taken and served at our table inside on time. The food was hot and delicious with large portions. It was extremely good value money,including drinks. We’ll certainly be back, the staff continually checked if all was well.

First visit but definitely not our last. Very friendly welcome. We were offered an outside or inside table. We chose to sit inside despite it being a lovely day. Our Sunday roast lunch was superb. Bubble and squeak croquette and squid to start, followed by a pork and a beef roast. Both meats cooked extremely well. Veggies were plentiful and not at extra cost (which seems to a norm these days). Sticky toffee pudding and a pavlova for dessert. All the food was great and obviously home cooked. Very friendly staff, nice atmosphere.

The first visit post pandemic and the changes since my last attendance are quite astonishing and a pleasure to behold. Extensive indoor reconfiguration and decor after an expensive refit internally and externally, the garden is most attractively laid out. All it needs is conducive weather (not available on this visit) to be enjoyed. Money has been well spent. Not on the Cask Marque Ale Trail, although it should be. A Bristol Beer Factory 'Tme to Burn' (4%ABV) was well worth a Cask Marque accreditation. The front of staff were also quick to serve a sampler before purchase just as those who are Cask Marque trained are taught to do. Also worth a mention, Mike, our waiter on the day, courteous and attentive but not intrusive, clearly well attuned to customer facing protocol. The meals served, from a menue with many original recipes, was beyond reproach. My own starter, modified to my request and my dining colleague's faddy peculiarities, were catered for without demur. A most enjoyable evening - to be repeated.
