Queens Head, Fyfieldback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Nice cosy pub with lots of character which serves good beer and food. But; it's quite small with a long narrow area for eating/drinking so when it's just a litlle busy it gets uncomfortable.
If you're drinking at the bar you have to keep shuffling around to let the staff get plates to the tables. Many of the tables are placed so that if you're eating, you've got drinkers looming over you because they've nowhere else to go.
Best to visit at an unpopular time to avoid the intimacy !

Ventured here on the strength of the reviews, having last been there over 15 yeara ago. I am sure there was another bar but there is now only one. Great choice of beers nicely kept - real ales and some interesting lagers. Not your run of the mill selection and seems to cater for real beer/ale lovers, and perhaps 'lager connoisseurs' - HOWEVER - nowhere to sit except the tables, and we were discouraged from sitting at the those laid for dining(even though it was very early) because they were reserved for diners. Nobody came into sit at the tables while we were there and we were more than happy to get up if anyone had come in, but it was also difficult to stand at the bar because it was the 'gangway' and very narrow. Consequently, felt very uncomfortable and a little unwelcome. Maybe it's less 'cliquey' in the day, but unless I was booked in for a meal, I don't know if I would want to return.

Yes.A great pub for real ale.Two Adnam's as permanant beers and four others on as guests.The brewers Gold was perfection.A bit foody but the good beers makes up for that.

Nice cosy pub, serves excellent real ales, guest ales, all sorts. Serves real top quality food too. Located in a pleasant village next to a river. pleasant little garden. I can't think why I didn't give it a 10 in fact. Strongly recommended. Mix of locals and London Essex folk who've driven out into the country. Landlady is gorgeous, by the way, which is never a bad thing.

Really nice small pub. Serves great food. In the evening can seem more likea restaurant, but there is always space at the bar for drinkers, and as the diners leave, you can sit at the tables. Great real ales, guest beers.
