The Queen's Head — Restaurant in Metropolitan Borough of Solihull

Appalling experience through and through. Where do I even begin?

Firstly, the staff are absolutely miserable and treat you like dirt. It's like they hate their job and they're taking it out on you. Furthermore, this place is as clicky as they come. Don't expect to feel welcome as you enter and all the locals sitting at the bar all pass you up with eyes of fire like you're some sort of scumbag or scourge because you're not from around there. It's actually quite sickening.

Could it get any worse? Oh, yes it can! Don't get me started on the owners. They're rude, miserable and won't treat you with an ounce of respect unless you are local. Not only that, but a good friend of mine actually WORKED here as the groundsman and he said about how the male owner wasn't willing to pay him barely minimum wage to keep the grounds maintained, and HE had to gall to fire HIM!

Clearly the owners do not care about you if you're not local, they don't care about their workers and they're not interested in investing in their establishment to keep its premises and grounds looking their best. If you see the other reviews stating how scruffy the garden looks, this is why.

But wait, there's more! After going through the absolute trial of finally getting to the bar to order because of the locals being unwilling to let us past, dealing with the miserable barmaid, having a long wait and then being served quite frankly subpar food, I cannot give this a low enough score. 1 star is being outrageously generous.

So, to conclude and summarise:

Unprofessional, miserable, rude staff; Vile owners; Potential breaches of the modern slavery act taking place; Clicky; High prices that do not reflect the quality of the food and drinks.

AVOID AT ALL...

Absolutely rubbish, the staff are rude and can barely speak english, honestly I've never ever had such bad service in my life, we waited 30 minutes before someone took our order and the whole place was EMPTY! They have neo manners, gave us evil looks the whole time, Don't know anything about indian cuisine.

It's not authentic indian food, probably one of the worst curries I've had in my life, can't believe I ended up spending £80 (without drinks) for such poor quality food for a couple?! I'd honestly recommend driving an extra 20 minutes, heading up to Leicester and grabbing a nice curry from Shere Punjab or Anmol or basically anything out of of the other takeaways there. You'll end up spending £15-£20 for the whole family and it will actually be NICE, compared to this joke that they call a curry. Honestly better off eating at a Wetherspoons.

Drinks are also watered down, and they charged me for a double for a single twice on the receipt. Very sly, the staff like I said are horrid.

Never coming here again, not even if I...

We went on a Sunday lunch time to meet up with friends for a catch up. There were 7 of us.

We found the staff to be lovely, very chatty and jovial.

It had an old fashioned feel to it. Definitely a drinkers pub. We didn't have food, just crisps.

There wasn't any loud music, just locals chatting and playing cribbage. Some bikers came, they sat outside and were very friendly as we were chatting to them as we left.

Very pretty looking pub with a couple of benches and tables outside.

They have some parking at the side but as my husband is disabled we parked on the road outside.

Would definitely go back again. We would like to try their Indian...
