The Queens Head is conveniently located near countryside walks & is within one of the New Forest’s most iconic villages (known for its witch related folklore). Neil, Jake & George investigate to see if the pub lives up to its magical location.

1) How was the booze selection? 🥃

George says: “It’s got Peroni.”

Jake says: “The subheading ‘Bubbles’ is confusing. Shouldn’t Coke be in ‘Bubbles”? Also, how can something be ‘refreshing and dry‘?”

Neil let the waitress (who he keeps calling fit) choose him a drink. She chose an ale, we have no idea which one. Neil was too socially awkward to ask.

2) How good were the chips? 🍟

George says: “What you’d expect from pub chips…”

3) Cleanliness of the glasses 🍷

Jake says: “Looked like someone licked the glass – usually I’d object but I found it added flavour. Some might say ‘refreshing and dry’.”

4) How good are the toilets? 💩

Jake says: “Would shit in an emergency. Also, there was only one sink? I didn’t like the ‘family style wash your hands in one big sink’. It was like a trough. I wasn’t into it. What if our hands accidentally touch when we go for the soap?”

5) How were the staff?👩‍🍳

Neil says: “Fit.”

6) How was the venue? 🏚

George says: “Lovely beer garden and nice rustic interior design.”

Neil says: “Walls are a good shade of olive that compliments my oily skin. Also, great location and garden, but the pub feels like its part of a chain (it is).”

7) Overall score 🍻

George says: “A decent pub, but the beer garden and location brought the score up.”

Jake says: “Who adds bread and butter for £1.29? Also, halloumi isn’t a main. Overall, pretty uninspiring. You can’t just put sombrero lampshades on lights and think you’re cool.”

Neil says: “I feel like it could be so much more than it is… It’s a shame it’s a chain. It’s nestled away in deep New Forest territory… being part of a chain takes away its character.”
