Went in September and again on 4th December. This is iconic. You walk in and are transported back fifty years and more. Ilove the unusual, the darts scoring aparatus, the quiet side room with tables arranged around the outside of the room.....NO Lager Sold Here

I could go on.

For more than a decade I've been passing 'Annie's Pub' en route to other places, and have never been in the vicinity anywhere close to its very restrictive opening hours. Happily, I finally managed to gain ingress to the hallowed portals of this renowned and fabled old pub today. I was in no way disappointed! The only ale on is Adnams Bitter, but that is on account of its limited trade. And it is possibly some of the most well-conditioned I've had - I'd forgotten how worthy this beer can be when served properly. The joint was jumping - despite looking closed most of the time I understand it really comes alive when the doors are open, and everyone was in slight awe of just how well-preserved the place is. Very little change since Annie's time, and sadly that is such a rarity these days. At 87 Elsie is frail but is wheeled in to chat with punters and keeps her hand in. Rumour her it that the pub will die with her, so it's a privilege to experience it while we can. Indeed, it's been unviable for years but thanks to the local hunt and Admiral Taverns' patience, it remains trading. No food, no games, no children's room, and definitely no lager! A defiant and delightful oasis which is as friendly as it is fascinating. Time it carefully, and you can discover it for yourself.

We popped in here for a quick one on Sunday and the place is happily alive and kicking, currently being opened by a keen bunch of volunteers now Elsie is too elderly to manage (she did put a brief appearance in though). The beer on tap was Adnams and the interior of the two-bar building unchanged in the last century or so. The Queens Head is a unique, friendly pub and long may it continue to be so.

I'm pleased to be able to reassure rashmack that his fears are ungrounded. The pub is still fully operative. I was there last night to see the excellent Trio Threlfall, and the place was packed. The Adnams' was in fine fettle, the sausage rolls likewise, and though Elsie herself was not in evidence, she's reportedly continuing to make a good recovery. The sign has indeed fallen off the wall, though.
