Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Delicious food with a variety of options. Staff friendly and attentive and a good selection of beers to choose from. Couldn’t fault the food at all!

The chicken wings were old and smelly. The smell of the meat was like rotten milk... Terrible We also tried the Fish pakora. The oil in which the Fish was fried was definitely old. Strange but AQ had the best food.. What happened?

We Frriends were meeting at African Queen for dinner . The food was good. A few days later I received a parking ticket . I called up the restaurant and they asked me to email them the parking ticket, which I did. I kept calling...up to the restaurant to acknowledge the receipt of my email. Connor and other staff members said that It would all be sorted . A week ago I received a debt recovery letter which shocked me. I thought the parking issue was resolved. I drove to the restaurant and met Connor. He said his boss is out of station and it would be sorted . I spoke to Ranj, He said the same thing . I spoke to the Manager today and She said only the landlord can deal with it and he is ill. Everyday , it is a different story.I called up Park and Control and Gemini Solutions . I emailed a gentleman there and he said they needed an email from African Queen to say that I was a guest at their restaurant. I called African Queen back and they said they will do it asap. I have been calling both parties but no one at African Queen can help, not even the Manager. I am not sure what is going on .More

Awful customer service, tried to place an order worth £80 lady who answered the phone said she was too busy to call deliveroo. As we were being passed from pillow to post and she wouldn’t even chase deliveroo to find out why it wasn’t taking...orders. They use them to deliver but we’re not interested at all. Terrible customer service avoid you have been warned.More

this was our first time out for lunch since lockdown began and although we order takeaway from AQ, I decided to take my mum out for a late sunday lunch. The pub has been refurbished and has a really nice feel to it, I was...really happy to see other groups of ladies also having lunch. The food was superb, their chilli garlic prawns are to die for and for the main meal, I ordered AQ special lamb and to say this blew my mind with its flavours would be underselling it. The staff are absolutely lovely and we felt very well taken care of. I hugely recommend this place, it is excellent all round.More

First time visit (mid afternoon) for casual drinks and bite to eat. Food portions were good some dishes were on the hot side but would recommend the Mix Grill. Service was slow which was purely due to lack of staff on duty.
