My partner and I come away with our dog and stayed for a few days at the lovely and friendly Queens Head in Long Marston. After an easy check in we went to our ggood size room for us and our Greyhound (who takes up her space). We decided to have dinner in the pub it’s self, where we were warmly welcomed by the staff and other patrons. The landlord made the effort up a table for us (as we said at check in we be coming for dinner). We have visited many “dog friendly pubs” however I feel our dog was most welcomed including a few dog tweets.

We had a lovely relaxing top class meal, that we both enjoyed.

The key thing to note that is the queens head doesn’t offer a breakfast and this was not included when we booked. However I was informed over the phone and in person that cereal was offered in the room and for us this was a great as it meant we could stay in our room and relax.

I would recommend this pub for both somewhere to eat and stay, with it’s great location to visit other areas including the town of Tring.

Have eaten here two evenings in the past week. Food was great on both occasions. I can recommend the five bean chilli and the ham, eggs, peas and chips. The ham was hand cut and was delicious. Lovely quality Sauvignon Blanc. A locals pub with roaring log fire and friendly patrons. Looking forward to returning to eat again soon. The menu is short and sweet and food is served on proper plates. None of those daft chip baskets or slate slabs in sight. Works for us!

We have eaten here several times and have not been disappointed. I like plain wholesome grub, I hate having food served in separate bowls on fancy lumps of slate trying to be something it’s not. The Queens Head fulfilled all my expectations. The vegetables were hot and cooked just right, not mushy. Everything else was lovely. The pudding was in a bowl, with a separate jug of custard. Just perfect for me! As the pub is small I recommend booking, it’s not fancy but personally just perfect!

I have previously reviewed the Queen's Head positively but am now inclined to agree with some of Carol S's OMG review. We were there for Sunday lunch which although not a roast was OK, very standard bar grub so we wouldn't rush back so probable repeat business lost as we are locals. A short menu with more homemade options would have been much better and I am sure would be more profitable for the owners. It isn't hard to offer a simpler choice of three or four homemade starters and mains? Isn't that common knowledge now that that is what customers want? We can stick stuff in breadcrumbs and oven chips in the oven at home ourselves!!! Homemade pate is incredibly easy AND cheap to make but the stuff they are serving appeared to us to be cash and carry quality and the other starters were obviously mass produced.
This may explain why the pub was almost completely empty and we were almost the only people eating. What is inexplicable is that the bar person thought it was OK to lean on the bar the WHOLE time we were there on her phone and I mean the whole time apart from the once she asked us if everything was OK. She stood upright to serve drinks and then slumped forwards on her elbows into the same position, back on the 'phone. The owners of this place need to train her that even when it is quiet she needs to earn her wages, clean tables, glasses, offer refills etc. Don't tell me in a pub that size there aren't lots of jobs that need doing. Maybe I am old fashioned but I have never seen a barperson so idle in my life.
