Popped in to the Queens Head in this lovely part of the country as we'd heard they do a Sunday roast until 4pm which was ideal for us. Such a friendly welcome from the new owners and staff, who are gradually restoring the premises, including a new area outside which was nearly completed. Ordered a chicken and a beef, and it was delicious - lots of gravy, perfect tats and parsnips, and a really nicely presented veg tray to share (see photo). Sadly it started to rain so our plan to walk up to the lovely Long Marston cricket ground was thwarted, but so pleased we found this charming old English pub. Will definitely be going back.

I booked a night in the B&B for my partner and I, because it is dog friendly. We were visiting family nearby the following day so it was convenient for us and our pooch. I expected for £55 a night that the room would be of good quality and a reasonable breakfast offered. We were greeted by a friendly bar lady, but were asked for payment of the room almost immediately before we even got our things out, I did say we would rather get our things in the room and then sort that. Anyway, I paid the money and we were shown up there. My first impressions were that we were given a twin room, with very basic thin towels. The windows are thin too and noise easily heard. The floor seemed quite dirty and I instantly felt uncomfortable. I asked about breakfast and was pointed to the "continental breakfast" which was a plastic container with cornflakes in and the milk in the fridge. There was a toaster in the room, yet no bread. The bathroom tipped me over the edge. It was tired, dirty, and there was no way I was even going to use the shower, it looked like a health hazard. We quickly vacated the room, and I headed back to the bar to ask for a refund, which I received quickly by an apologetic bar lady. Our family welcomed us a night early. I would be disgruntled to even pay £30 for the room. Do not spend your money here, just because something is "dog friendly" does not mean that quality and cleanliness should be forfeited.

We stayed here last night after Chilfest. What a find! Exactly what we all love about English country pubs- really cozy and great atmosphere. The staff and locals were really friendly and the landlady was so welcoming. Rooms are clean and all home comforts included.....even chocolates which is a lovely touch. Would highly recommend The Queens Head for an overnight stay, meal or drinks. Thank you Jules! We'll be back!

We stopped here for a drink. The staff are very friendly as are the locals.
The queens head is a real village pub just as it should be. Full of character with oak beams just as you would expect a village pub to be. We didn't eat here but from what I saw on the menu and what other people were eating we will be returning to try the food. I will let you know how that goes.
So if you are heading out that way near by or just passing through do stop here you won't regret it.

This is the epitome of an English country pub. Oak beams, low ceilings, and oozing with character. Good pub grub, beer and snacks. A warm welcome awaits.
Highly recommended!
