| The range of beers are still as in the review below this one, but I agree that they are well kept. Two roaring fires in the winter are very welcoming. Great centuries old inn and the food here is excellent. Always visit for lunch when I'm in The Lakes, which is almost once a month. Sausage and mash is very good as is the fish n chips - small portion of chips though but two large fish fillets make up for it. Well worth a visit! TheLush - 5 Dec 2011 17:04 |
| This pub is now (has been for a while, in truth) a Robinsons pub and thus sells a range of their beers: XB, Cumbria Way, Dizzy Blonde, Double Hop, Old Tom etc. Whilst I am not sure that these are the best of beers in Cumbria, they are good enough and well kept, in my experience at the Queens Head, which remains one of my favourite post walk pubs. drtimthornton - 3 Feb 2010 17:43 |
| Food was excellent, although the portion sizes were not exactly huge (good in the City, not so if you've walked for 10 miles earlier), and beautifully presented. Did think that £6.50 for Cheese and Biscuits was a bit steep. That said three courses plus a bottle of wine for £80 wasn't too bad. Hawkshead Bitter was well kept and the overall ambience was superb. Recommended by a former boss, we're still talking. twineyboy - 27 Oct 2007 12:54 |
| Visited this pub for lunch as part of a really nice circular walk around Wansfell Pike from Ambleside. As someone else has remarked, the portions could be bigger but the food was really nice, the best we had in the week we stayed in the area and only slightly more expensive than the other pubs we ate in. Also a decent selection of well kept real ale on offer. Definitely recommended if your not on a budget. anonymous - 10 Jun 2007 17:03 |
| After spending a glorious July Sunday evening on an empty Red Screes (empty by 7pm with the whole of the Lakes still spread before one), I picked the Queens for my post walk pint. There was a good choice of beer (Jennings Cocker Hoop perhaps the best on that evening but also beer by Hawkshead and Coniston available) and, sitting outside that evening, it wasn't very busy. The inside is surprisingly large but pleasantly broken up into smaller rooms. Asking a diner who was paying at the bar about the food, I got only a fairly cautious recommendation (portions perhaps rather small for the standardly high Lake District prices) but I will certainly try eating there myself. drtimthornton - 18 Jul 2006 16:23 |
