Queens Head

To the front of house is a traditional public bar and adjoining snug, both with convincing pseudo ceiling timbers helping to enhance the rural ambience. Offering splendid views across the valley containing Saddington Reservoir, is a large restaurant set over three floor levels paved with black flags. Amongst half a dozen village craft and tradesmen listed in 1846 was a publican at The Queens Head and a shopkeeper. The shop has been gone for some time now, however, on 11th October 2013; this pub opened its own shop in a converted outbuilding with ex-England cricketer Chris Broad doing the official opening. The shop, which was a joint enterprise between the pubs tenants and Everards Brewery, sells a range of foodstuffs, including produce made in the pub’s kitchen. Out the back, besides a large car-park, are a small patio area furnished with picnic tables and a large lawn, also with picnic tables plus childrens play equipment.
