Kate & Andrea made our family night out at The Queens Head really enjoyable. The service was great and friendly and proper pub food where you get a good version of what you order with a healthy range of options cooked and presented well by Lud the chef. Thanks for a great night, topped off by the live music, we will be back again!

Had a delicious Sunday roast here with great service from Lauren and Kate who were very friendly and helpful. Had a Lotus Biscoff desert too which was tasty. Parking was easy. Good Wi-Fi. Garden is really nice and cozy with good seating and even an area properly under cover which is cool, plus the garden leads directly onto a beautiful field which you can walk around! Although I don't have dogs, this place is dog friendly and even more so with the field. Would definitely recommend!

We had Sunday lunch here which was great. Loved the prawn cocktail! We sat outside in the garden in the back which was a delightful sunny spot u til it suddenly rained. It’s summer after all! The staff were super friendly and attentive and I highly recommend. We shall be going back again for sure - probably on a quiz night.

Visited for lunch recently, good menu to choose from. Gluten free options available which is always good. We were impressed with the lighter burger option, with a sale instead of bun. Good sized patio for this warmer weather

Lovely first visit to this pub. All staff were great. I think our orders were taken by a manager, while Amelia served us. This is a proper gastro pub where the chef clearly knows their way around a kitchen. Food was superb though the Korean chicken burger didn't really live up to being Korean it was still moist and tasty. Chicken schnitzel was superb, while side salads and chips were also very good. Great range of drinks, we ended up staying over three hours chatting with the staff. The pub seems quiet on a weekday evening, but has live music some weekends to liven things up. Definitely recommend.

We came for a meal for Father’s Day and have a lovely time - great Sunday roasts with a vegetarian option and excellent service from our waitress Amelia. She was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and went out of her way to make us enjoy our lunch. Dog friendly too which was a plus. Thank you!

Really lovely, nicely appointed gastropub. Popped in on a midweek afternoon and was immediately greeted by a lovely staff member, filling her quieter time by polishing cutlery. Really friendly, chatty and welcoming; a credit to this establishment. Had a good pint of well-kept Timothy Taylor Landlord and will most likely return to eat next time. Highly recommended!

What a cracking pub this is. 1st visit yesterday & will be back soon!. Lots of good craft beers on tap including Salt Citra, Gypsy Hill & Drop Project. They also have a full range of 'Big Smoke Brew Co'. Tasters no problem. Big seating area at the back and front of the pub so the sun is always available (when out!). The food looked good that came out while we were there & they say the Roast is the best in town...we shall be putting that to the test soon! Dog friendly & very friendly helpful staff. A great find!

Yes yes yes. A gem has shown up on Southdown's doorstep! The Queen's Head generously invited us to attend their soft launch tonight. As a massive fan of smokehouse food their menu was delightful, and the extensive range of real ales + craft beers will take another couple of visits to work through. We were warmly welcomed by the management, who clearly care hugely about the product they've put together over the summer - transforming and updating the old Skew Bridge - and the staff were all, quite frankly, brilliant. Ivy and Daniel - many thanks for taking such good care of us at our table! Looking forward to visiting again, and particularly to giving your pizzas a punt some time soon!
