    Overall I was very disappointed with my visit to the queens - there was no one to greet - after already booking we were told we could sit anywhere- no ref to our names/ booking -! It didn’t feel that our arrival was anticipated in any way - or tv was blaring - to be replaced by loud music which in fairness was turned down on request - staff all individually nice but the whole service experience poor - ie not proactive / in any way cohesive/ team like . - food was v tasty and menu had good variety for a pub grub setting - v poor attention to table presentations - all candles( nightlights) burned out - tables not cleaned properly -? Old brown wood surfaces needing a varnish etc - a dining experience for me is an all in - my experience at the queens fell very far short of that

    I have been a longtime customer of the Queens. There’s a nice ambience and when we are there it was during the book festival so it was busy with plenty of atmosphere. The food offering is now poor compared with previous years. My husband ordered fish and chips - the chips were done on the outside, not cooked on the inside. My goats cheese salad was adequate but I have had much nicer salads. The dressing was basic, there were no walnuts and salad ingredients seemed cheap and not very fresh. Accompanying French fries were not hot. Kids chicken tenders and chips were okay - chicken tenders not same quality as most other places. All in all, food offering needs to massively improve before would consider eating there again. Staff were very friendly.

    Service good but very disappointing standard of food at Queens this evening. Very limited menu and food quality was poor. Used to be a much better offering

    Group of four for a match. Two of the group ordered burgers which were both raw. In fairness the kitchen made new burgers but eating raw mince isn't acceptable. Nothing offered in apology.

    Went to Queens for Mother’s Day lunch, we might have just got it on a bad/busy day but unfortunately despite friendly food service staff we won’t be rushing back.

    Booked a table for 4. Given a table which felt a bit exposed with other customers walking past. Not particularly busy. Could have been given a better table. Not a major gripe. Bar staff were friendly and service was good. Would go again.
