"Long but fair comments. Hoping we visited on a poor day as we had so much hope with the positive reviews… It is always challenging to find somewhere to eat between Christmas and New Year, but The Queen’s Head was open so decided to visit for the first time in a few years for a family (birthday) lunch. Drinks standard Shepherd Neame selection, but both Bear Island and Christmas Ale tasted of pipe cleaning fluid. Couldn’t finish a half pint of either. Food it is always a worry when there are so many options on the menu. Standard menu, burger menu, specials menu, and “the chef is also doing…”. Must have been 25 options minimum. The burgers that were ordered were bland and tasteless, having run out of “pulled pork (after 25min wait), brioche buns, tomato relish, etc”. Chips/wedges were cold. Salad leaves turning and inedible. Pheasant promised much, but appeared in a large soup/pasta bowl, absolutely dredged in a sickly gravy. Picking through to discover edible meat was a task in itself. Roast potatoes became soggy in the gravy disaster. VERY limited vegetarian options. Vegetarian burger was different to as advertised on the menu and was dry. Service long wait times for food and for the bill. Bill came incorrect, and when advised, took an age to get rectified. ALSO NOTE: Shepherd Neame gold card is NOT accepted here. Appreciate it can be a challenging time of year, but we pick places to eat based on reviews, so thought it would only be fair to share our experience. Other reviews of The Queen’s Head seem positive…."
