| AVOID THE QUIZ NIGHTS HERE LIKE THE PLAGUE. They are sponsored by google - waste of time. Barman gives answers out to folk and use of phones is ignored. Beer ok nothing special. Bettr two great beers than more mediocrely kept ones. thekentishman - 25 Oct 2011 22:47 |
| I went to the Queens Head on Sunday for what I thought would be a pleasant lunch - I was wrong! After waiting at the bar to get served (about 15mins) my food and drink order was taken. I asked what the soup of the day was and was informed this was vegetable. We were informed that there was a wait of 30-45mins on food order as they had a rush on (the pub was half empty), but we were not in a rush so thought "what the hell". After 45 mins the food ordered, mine a chicken soup (after I had been informed it was vegetable, lucky I am not veggie). It resembled a cuppa soup and was luke warm. Absolutely starving, I ate it. After an additional 45mins our main course arrived. I had fish and chips which was inedible. The chips were again luke warm and the fish was either frozen battered fish or had been re-heated, it was vile!! My friend had the roast dinner and said it was "OK" nothing special. After another 30 mins, our plates were cleared and we asked where my friends desert was. The waitress shurgged her shoulders and said she would try and find out. After another 20 mins, it arrived. It was inedible as it was cold in the middle when it was meant to be a sticky lemon sponge (served hot)! I would NEVER go back to this pub, not even if I was desperate. It is by FAR the worst place I have ever been to in my life. Shame on you Ember Inns!! steven00135 - 27 Sep 2011 12:30 |
| Finding myself in the area I popped in to see if things had improved since my unflattering post of 22 February. I am delighted to say they had. It was, mind, early on a weekday evening rather than a busy weekend like last time, but a decided improvement. The ladies behind the bar were quick off the mark and quite cheerful, prices of beer were pretty reasonable and a sample from the menu (chicken breast with brie and bacon) was perfectly edible and quite cheap. Maybe it's new management or just lack of pressure on this visit but it went well. guayabera - 21 May 2010 17:32 |
| I actually dont mind this pub.. if all your after is a beer garden and a pint then its fine - its quite picturesque in the summer out the back and loads of tables so you always find a seat. does attract a few druggie/chav types, and a number of younger folk, and dont eat the food as its shite. sir_adam_of_downham - 8 Mar 2010 00:09 |
| Shagnastie has hit on a great gripe of mine - however busy a bar is it doesn't take much customer-facing aptitude to flash a quick "Hello, mate, be with you in a minute" or somesuch. But nobody has told that to the staff here. I have had one of them walk to the pump under my nose as I have been waiting with a fiver in my hand and not even give a nod to show I had been clocked in the queue. One Sunday - unsurprisingly the last time we have been there - we went with the idea of having lunch. It was a beautiful day and the pub was full but when we went to the bar to order we were told pretty briskly that the kitchen would be closed until 4 because the staff could not cope. Well, hello, doesn't somebody look out of the window in the morning, see the sun and think "Boy, we're going to be busy today" and ring round a few casuals to come in? P****d off, we went to the Tiger's Head which was having no such problems feeding the swarms in there. Out of interest I asked how many they had in the kitchen to cope with a clientele much bigger than the QH's. Oh, about three was the answer. I'm afraid that quality will out and the Queen's Head does not have it. guayabera - 22 Feb 2010 14:15 |
