I think that my title says it all. Great location in a quant village. Quiet and unassuming with a good crowd of locals. A proper find for my partner and I. Try the pie if available or the ploughman’s. The beef was sensational with the...ploughman’s.More

My wife and I travel a lot around the UK in our caravan and we visit lots of country pubs and I can honestly say that the Queens Head is the best, most friendly pub I have ever been in. We took my Aunt, who...lives nearby, for a lunch of soup and sandwiches. The soup was terrific, it was really tasty and the sarnies were great too. The young waiter was a very polite young man and he happily accommodated my aunts request for a side salad. My wife and I went back for drink that evening and we chatted with the owner, who was very friendly. We also chatted with a few local regulars and it was just really nice. I cannot recommend that you visit the Queens Head highly enough, it wont disappoint!More

Just had a lunch here after a long walk. We had soup, sandwiches and beer - all of which was totally delicious and very good value for money. The pub has a nice cosy interior and is full of character. Highly recommended!

Excellent Sunday Roast cooked by OJ Catering. Highly recommend it. Booking advised to avoid disappointment

This place is like an archetypal country pub. Open fire, cask ales from the cask, rooms with nooks and crannies etc etc The food on offer is pretty basic. Sandwiches, dripping on toast and soup graded by colour. Great for lunch, a shame we were...looking for a hot cooked meal. Worth a visit thoughMore

The Queen's Head is pub heaven. The building has barely been touched by the 21st century, the food is simple but tasty, the beer is wonderful and the staff more old school than gushing. I'm lucky to be able to walk here from the next...village so I was able to enjoy the beautiful Nelson's Revenge beer. I tried the Chicken liver pate for the first time - it was very very tasty though I could have done with a bit more toast. Visiting the Queen's Head is like stepping back time. Its dark and moody and completely unspoilt and absolutely stunning.More

Working out in the sticks in Cambridgeshire, It was a friday and I'd got my work done for the day fairly early so decided to treat myself to a pub lunch at the Queens Head. Despite initially looking closed due to the roof being refurbished...the pub was infact open for business and gradually became quite busy. For dinner there was a limited select menu consisting of soup or sandwiches. I went with the soup which was some sort of vegetable concoction that contained some interesting/ unusual ingredients, tastes and textures, although I couldnt quite put my finger on what they were. The slab of granary bread it was served up with was also quite a formidable feat of baking. I did feel a bit of an outsider/ out of towner in there but maybe that's more a reflection on my own personal insecurities (Maybe TripAdvisor is not the place for such deep psychological, self appraisals?).More

Popped in last week as we have always passed it but never been inside for a drink. Lunchtime and we were the only ones in. Ordered our ales and a sandwich each - 1 ham and 1 salmon. Well, we had to go to the...bar and pick it up and were greeted with two lovely big baskets with knapkins and nestled inside were our sandwiches. £4.50 each for two medium slices of bread with fillings. It would not be so bad if there had been a small garnish or crisps!More

We’ve been coming here since the early 80s but since we all moved further afield it’s been at best an annual visit. The place is perfect if you’re a beer and simple/tasty food lover. The decor is outstanding, unless you like new shiny plastic things....I’d never noticed the military models stuck on the ceiling of the public bar before today. We had beef and cheddar sandwiches, washed down with an excellent guest beer Vicars Ruin. If you’re looking for similar pubs then we only know of 2.....the Bell in Aldworth and the Cuckoo in Hamptworth. Both 100ish miles away.More

I've been coming to this pub for several years and it is absolutely the perfect pub. Beer served straight from the barrel, always perfect! Delicious and perfectly cooked food - I highly recommend the beef sandwich with dripping! When you see how many people travel...a long distance just to come to this pub for lunch, it is the best advert they could have. The atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming, especially good on a rainy day! Now for the monthly supper club - coupled with all of the above, Olwyn's fantastic food makes for a perfect night out. A different menu every month, made with great skill and passion, beautifully presented in a fantastic atmosphere. Olwyn clearly puts a lot of effort into where she sources her food, and serves it perfectly with her brilliant cooking. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a guaranteed enjoyable, fun and friendly Saturday night.More

This place is great. It is a true country pub that does a bit of food. (I think they do evening food as there was a sign for that evening's event with food). We had sandwiches which were basic and wholesome and filled a hole....The beer comes in barrels behind the bar but I can't comment on how good it was as i was driving. However, it looked good and seemed t go down well with this that were walking. If you are passing on the M11 put the postcode in your Sat Nav and check out lunch here.More

I am really just responding to the last review as this person is slightly confused ,The Queens head in Fowlmere has closed to become a Nursery however we are Talking about The Queens head in Newton which has been run by the same family for...over 55years and is thriving, well run and adored so it is very much open for business!!More
