| A very welcoming pub serving excellent ales. The juke box is the main feature with the most amazing selections going back to 1952. Food is of a very high standard with a specials board updated every Monday. Finally the ESB is in absolute perfect conditon. This pub maybe on the outskirt of the town but is worth a visit to this 1800's ex coaching inn. mikegooch - 14 Dec 2011 11:59 |
| Nice pub, good ale and lager, friendly staff ,opens 11am , ideal stop for pensioners on a lunchtime pub crawl. papavar - 12 Oct 2011 07:55 |
| Spot on TWG...a lively pub with a youngish crowd (30s?)...nice and loud jutebox, £3 a pint for Chiswick which was kept well and tasted good... If up for a laugh, probably the best place in dorking...if out for a quiet romantic drink, then best to avoid... definitely go again d.franks - 28 May 2011 17:18 |
| I am bound to say that I tend to agree with the last comment. The Queens Head is, by most measures, unremarkable, and this isn't helped by there being 2 other Fullers pubs further up the same street (both of which are arguably smarter than the QH). That said, I would perhaps rate this pub as having a greater sense of natural atmosphere than either of its more well-heeled peers. It is down-to-earth, unpretentious, attracts a slightly more "gritty" brand of Dorkingonian, yet it remains friendly to non-locals and is clean. Also, in my experience it is doing better business on the early shift of a standard Saturday night than either the Bulls Head or the Cricketers. It's the sort of boozer where one doesn't mind whacking on some loud music on the jukebox, watching a bit of sport (which unlike some pubs doesn't seem to intrude here) and possibly even playing a few games of pool (bear in mind I don't normally feel inclined to do that - it's just something about this pub!). It all adds to the general feeling of relaxed enjoyment that I always find here. Oh, and for those who are worried that I've taken my eye off the ball, I can confirm the ales always seem to be kept well too (very sessionable Chiswick). The beer still always comes first!

| Unremarkable, and just far enough away from the town centre for passing visitors to be something of a novelty. However, friendly enough and the Chiswick was in good condition. rpadam - 6 Oct 2008 22:03 |
