The Queens Head - Wallingford

As a local, we have regularly visited The Queens for drinks and food and perhaps because of that we’re remiss in providing reviews! However, now making amends following one of the best meals out we’ve had in ages! I am a Steak fiend! And I’m terrible at cooking it myself, so always order it when out. It’s a dodgy affair as unfortunately not many chefs do it justice. But my oh my Tash truly does. Rump steak cooked to perfection (not a mean feat for a customer who enjoys a blue fillet! . Served with the tastiest toms and mushrooms and beautifully crispy chips by the brilliant staff who always have a smile and are so attentive. And all in lovely old world pub with original features. We are so lucky to have Tash, Stu and the team at the end of our road, but would drive miles for food like that. Excellent in every way!

We had Sunday lunch but the food was poor, didn't have all the roasts ,potatoes were not roasted !! and only three small New potato size on plate that were meant to be roasted, puddings were ok but I wish that there old dog wasn't roaming around the eating areas not a good experience

My idea of a lovely village pub, really nice people and excellent beer, didn’t have a meal but will rectify that next visit

I visited this evening on my own as I am staying locally for a show near Reading. I had my young spaniel with me who thoroughly enjoyed the attention! I had the gnocchi which was hot, fresh and absolutely delicious. The staff are really lovely even though they were obviously busy. The vibe is great and I felt incredibly welcome which was appreciated as I was dining on my own. I found everything very clean and tidy too. Thank you! If I am ever in the area again, I will definitely come back.

After reading reviews in their own website we were looking forward to a meal. However, we decided to share a Camembert and flat bread as we weren’t particular hungry. £12. Waited probably 15 minutes. It turned up in a hot dish stone cold. It didn’t smell great. I took the meal back which was heated up within 3 minutes or so. Pieces of bread were slaughtered! Looking around the garden we noticed quite a few piles of dog poo. I couldn’t eat at all. The beer wasn’t great either. Never go there again.
