Wow! We had a fantastic Sunday lunch today. All the tables were reserved but they let us sit down for 12.20 as one table not being used until 2.00. The roasts were fantastic, not cheap but beautifully cooked. Ordered a side of cauliflower cheese and it was enough for the 4 of us.Would definitely go back for Sunday lunch and I am very fussy... believing only my roast is the best!

I have reviewed a reasonable number of restaurants and this is only the second 1 star score attributed. Reserved a table by phone, arrived a few minutes before the agreed time. I was shown to a table by the barman and then ....nothing. No menu, no offer of a drink. 12 minutes passed, waiting staff drifted through the restaurant, looking after a table of about 10 and another couple. There were no other diners present so it wasnât busy. Then a new diner arrives and is immediately given a menu. This was more than the bridge could bear. Waitress was approached who offered a half hearted apology accompanied by asking me if I had seated myself! On being told that I had not and I was leaving, the defaulting barman was identified, although Iâm not sure it was necessarily his fault. Result- one lost cover which Iâm sure wonât break their bank but is so irritating. On the plus side, a 1km walk took me back into the town and an excellent Thai restaurant (review to follow). And I was offered a menu and a drink on arrival. Dear TriskelionI very rarely respond to reviews but in this case I feel I really ought too as I have to completely disagree with your comments.I think it is fair to outline what happened with a bit more accuracy. You sat in the barn area which was busy and put your head down buried in your phone and no point did you make any attempt to make eye contact or speak to any of the waitresses. Unsurprisingly they thought you must be waiting for someone to join them. Instead of just making some attempt at communication you continued to stare at your phone until after 5 mins (as checked on CCTV) you decided to have an unbelievably rude rant at one of my staff and stormed out threatening to leave a poor review.My staff may have not realised that you were alone and ready but your reaction both at the time and since are quite frankly totally over the top. As soon as they realised they offered you a drink and menu but you clearly had no intention of accepting their apology.

Decided to pop in for dinner this week, wow, what a gem. The decor was amazing, right up my street. Staff were friendly, attentive, welcoming atmosphere. We had the 14oz pork chop and posh scampi, absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. They also have live music too on selected nights. Looking forward to returning, puts a lot of other eateries to shame. 5* experience- thank you so much. Suzzi & Dave x

Stumbled on the Queens Head more or less by accident and it was a great surprise. Harming cosy pub with cheerful staff and a fantastic menu. The seafood salad was laden with fresh fish and seafood, deserts were interesting and fresh and even the coffee was good. Heartily recommended.
