    It seems there is new management, because I met the new assistant manager, James. He was probably the best bartender I've ever come across. So nice. So beautiful. So beardy.

    Phwoar!!! Great Filipino food!!! My friend and I had lunch today (after an interval of a few years) - were were expecting the usual burger menu - but, NO - it has now completely changed to TURO TURO - Filipino BBQ food!!! What a brilliant surprise!!! There are rice bowls and noodle dishes - on the rice bowl menus, you can order a half-and-half - from the chicken, pork belly or aubergine. I had the chicken/aubergine, and my friend had the chicken/pork belly - both were SUPER SCRUMPTIOUS!!! Can't wait to go there again!!! Who needs boring old burgers?! TURO TURO - soooooo bloomin' tasty!!! I'm a BIG foodie, so please take my word!!! :)

    They were out of the ingredients for both the drinks we wanted, but the Filipino food we had was some of the best I've had!

    Have visited the queens head a few times now after work and have to say it quickly became my favourite local. The food is great (in particular the mediterranean salad) the staff are incredible, Christian, Luke and the team are so accommodating and very friendly, tailoring to our (fussy) needs and even played a song request! The bar is a gorgeous open plan with hanging lights in the front and an open kitchen with 2 chefs, one female one male, were laughing and dancing, even bringing our food out for us, it’s just a joy. The queens head is somewhere I urge anyone to visit, particularly after the horrific 2 years we’ve had, you will arrive welcomed and leave extremely happy! Joanne

    Wow what a fantastic night! Booked the venue for a private event on a Saturday and the staff were lovely. Meghann who took the booking order was really efficient and responsive. She was really lovely and happy to help with questions and requests. The staff at the venue were also amazing and so accommodating. Chris the manager did everything in his power to make sure we had great time and he went above and beyond to help. Food and drinks also all good. The space is recently refurbished, well maintained and I personally love the fairly lights inside. Thank you to the team at The Queens Head.

    This was the perfect choice for lunch. The ambiance of the restaurant is soothing and the kitchen is phenomenal. The culinary geniuses are called Turo Turo Filipino BBQ. We had the crispy chicken sandwich and it was delicious - I’d highly recommend it. The cider was also really good and not too sweet.

    I wish I could give you guys more than 5 out of 5 for your Food. The Squid and Aubergine dishes were outstanding. The tastes were dancing on my tongue for hours! Great drinks selection and San Miguel and Stowford Press were lovely. We shall return for an evening meal as the tasters to share were divine.

    Rented the downstairs room for karaoke last Friday night and had a wicked night - the equipment was brilliant, the space was decent, the staff were as lovely as ever and the food was great. Thanks for living after us so well Luke and Chris, we’ll definitely being booking this space for karaoke again soon! x

    Nice beer and a good location. What's not to like.

  • 5/5 DH Inside S. 1 year ago on Google
    Chill pub, I go here on my lunch breaks and business meetings. Asian fusion (most Filipino) food is sick

  • 5/5 Emma H. 2 years ago on Google
    I love this pub. It's really nice inside, the beer is good, and so is the food. Plus staff are super friendly. Definitely going to make this a regular after work drinks spot!

  • 5/5 James D. 8 months ago on Google
    Amazing venue for a small event. Incredibly friendly staff that catered for all our needs. Wide drink selection and a really different, tasty food menu.

  • 4/5 Ted S. 11 months ago on Google
    Monday night was a quiet night but that didn’t detract from excellent food which my friend (who is Filipino) said reminded her of home. Misses a 5 star for two reasons. First is that a Filipino loves their deserts and these have yet to be added to the offer. And second, there was a smell of cooking oil that pervaded the seating area, seems like stronger or more effective extractors are required? Great first experience and we will be back as soon as the deserts are added!

  • 5/5 Mike G. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent first visit. Surprisingly busy for a Tuesday. Had the Filipino pork and rice bowl- top notch! Will go again soon.

  • 4/5 Ethan P. 1 year ago on Google
    A lovely pub and despite its location, it still have a ‘local’ feel, only downside is there’s not a lot of room to sit down and it get extremely busy, so make sure to book in advance if you want a table

  • 2/5 Darren H. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice and trendy bar and good usual selection of good beer however one issue is either the acoustics in there sucks because it's so loud. Also they really need to invest in a cleaner for the toilets as they are truly terrible.

  • 4/5 Raymond W. 1 year ago on Google
    Was here for a private function, the main area is very roomy and spacious, the staff were helpful. Good choice of beers and ales on the tap However the toilets need a good clean, and a refurb. Someone from my group asked for toilet paper in the ladies and this wasn't provided.

  • 5/5 Christina G. 2 years ago on Google
    Chris and the whole team were great, we had a wonderful time. I presume it was quite a challenge to host such a large group, but everything was just perfect. Thank you again for hosting us.

    Recommend from a friend. The drink & food options are brilliant, especially the food. Sets it’s apart from other pubs in the area: Special mention to the bartender James, he was fantastic made the pub experience worth the visit. ✅

    We held our wedding reception here and they were all so helpful and amazing. They made sure everything went well and without a hitch. Answered all our questions and ensured our guests had the best night. We Love the staff and the pub. One of the best in London

    We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding reception! From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were greeted by the most friendly and welcoming staff we could have hoped for. Their warmth and enthusiasm made us feel like we were among friends, and that set the tone for the entire evening. The location itself was absolutely stunning. The pub was beautifully designed and decorated, creating a charming and cozy atmosphere that was perfect for our celebration. It provided the ideal backdrop for our special day, and our guests were in awe of the venue's charm. One aspect that was particularly important to us was finding a gay-friendly venue, and we were thrilled with the inclusive and accepting environment the pub offered. It was clear that they not only welcomed but celebrated all forms of love, which meant the world to us and our LGBTQ+ friends and family. Our wedding reception at this venue was an unforgettable experience, thanks in no small part to the incredible staff, the fantastic location, and the warm and inclusive atmosphere. We couldn't recommend this venue more highly for anyone looking to celebrate their love in a truly special place.
