Queens Head — Restaurant in England

After visiting the Queens head for Christmas lunch whilst visiting Newbiggin for Christmas we decided to return for New Year’s Eve dinner and a stay over in the Queens head accommodation. On arrival staff were welcoming & offering to carry some of our luggage, on taking us to our room. We were advised of how items worked in the room TV etc & what time continental breakfast would be served the next morning. On entering the room it was warm and welcoming looking very comfortable in size for 3 adults in a triple room, plenty of storage , coat hangers hairdryer. The room was decorated and furnished to a high standard. The tea tray was well stocked with teas, coffees, milk sugar and biscuits. The bathroom had a walk in shower including guest toiletry’s the towels were white & fluffy the bathroom was warm with a relaxing atmosphere. Every aspect of this room was excellent the beds & pillows were comfortable the white bedding was spotless. The room was dog friendly however you could not identify that a pet had stayed in this room no odour no dirty carpets. Our New Year’s Eve dinner did not disappoint 5 courses with 2 of them complimentary again Ala Carte standard price was amazing . Lucy attended to all our needs throughout the evening very hard working young lady deserves some recognition for her contribution that makes the service at the Queens head 5 star. Again well done James you and your team work so hard nothing is to much. If your looking for a friendly welcome good food and a comfy bed try the Queens head you won’t be disappointed (FABULOUS) ...

We enjoyed most aspects of our stay here, nice airy room that was well furnished, everything very clean. Friendly staff thoughout.|We had dinner in the bistro on our first night - OAP specials - excelent value.|Breakfast was a bone of contention however - continentel - fair enough but some days were better than others. For example the fruit bowl lasted only the first two days and later the yogurt was taken off for good reason.|We were told that they opened for cooked breakfast on the weekend and, as residents, we could have it at half price. Fair enough the punters coming in just for breakfast got the run of the continentel table in their price.|Not a bad cooked breakfast, I rather enjoyed it until that is it was time to pay.|To the astonishment of all concerned, including the staff, the lady on the till said they didn't do half price any more so we were charged in full and got a worse deal than people walking in off the street.|Choice on the continentel table got even worse after that - I dispare.||We'll not be back, a pity really as this could so easily be a very good place.|Oh! and the bar ceiling fell down some time on...

Booked a meal while staying at a friends holiday home in New Biggins After looking on the web site & the site describing the chef as young & talented using fresh ingredients, thought we would book a table Lady behind the bar was very friendly & inviting as we walked in, she took our drinks order, which she soon delivered them took food order She then came back to say no curry, so had to choose something else Only 1 starter order which took 30 mins to arrive, black pudding stack for the starter, was literally mash potato & 2 pieces of black pudding, with a jug of sauce Hunters chicken, was very dry & very minimum BBQ sauce drizzled over the top, served with salad which was 4 salad leaves & some dressing When visiting the toilets after the meal, I could see the kitchen & if I had seen this before ordering I would not eaten here The gentleman in the kitchen who did bring some of our food out from the kitchen was just wearing Jeans & a T-Shirt & he looked as though he had been doing the cooking, so where is the young talented chef 🤔 Would return for drinks but would defiantly not...
