    Fantastic experience as always. Amazing food and wonderful staff. The pub quiz on a Sunday makes it a little more entertaining.

    Nice pub but overrated. Food was average, not special. We finished dinner and the waitress came with the bill, but we didn't asked for it. They want us to leave. I will not recommend the Queens Arms to other's.

    Hi Laura, thanks for taking the time to leave a review, sorry you didn’t think the food was up to par, we pride ourselves on serving great honest food, so I was disappointed to hear you didn’t enjoy it. We do switch to bar service in the evening, but we in no way would want anyone to leave! I can only apologise this wasn’t communicated effectively to you and hope to be able to welcome you back again soon. Thanks Team Queens

    Food, Service etc all great. Only downside was the table we were sat at was too small for eating. Quite uncomfortable to eat at . But apart from that it was great and I would go back.

    Everything was great. The staff were brilliant. Food, drinks, service, top notch. Only problem was the booking system. I booked a table for four hours, which wad offered to me on the website, in order to cover watching a rugby match with plenty of time either side. When I arrived I was told we had the table for 2 hours 15 minutes. A member of staff kindly made sure we could stay at our table for three hours, which meant we could watch the whole game, just. It seems there’s something wrong with the booking system. Please check it out. Next time I’ll book by phone. Same thing with my next booking for another match next month. It’s been sorted by the staff but the website booking system is not working.

    Hey Moray, Thanks for the 5 star review, I have passed your booking issues onto the relevant team. Glad you are all sorted for the Welsh game look forward to seeing you then!
