Queen's Head, Newton

We’ve been coming here since the early 80s but since we all moved further afield it’s been at best an annual visit. The place is perfect if you’re a beer and simple/tasty food lover. The decor is outstanding, unless you like new shiny plastic things. I’d never noticed the military models stuck on the ceiling of the public bar before today. We had beef and cheddar sandwiches, washed down with an excellent guest beer Vicars Ruin. If you’re looking for similar pubs then we only know of 2.....the Bell in Aldworth and the Cuckoo in Hamptworth. Both 100ish miles away.

I've been coming to this pub for several years and it is absolutely the perfect pub. Beer served straight from the barrel, always perfect! Delicious and perfectly cooked food I highly recommend the beef sandwich with dripping! When you see how many people travel a long distance just to come to this pub for lunch, it is the best advert they could have. The atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming, especially good on a rainy day! Now for the monthly supper club coupled with all of the above, Olwyn's fantastic food makes for a perfect night out. A different menu every month, made with great skill and passion, beautifully presented in a fantastic atmosphere. Olwyn clearly puts a lot of effort into where she sources her food, and serves it perfectly with her brilliant cooking. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a guaranteed enjoyable, fun and friendly Saturday night.

This place is great. It is a true country pub that does a bit of food. (I think they do evening food as there was a sign for that evening's event with food). We had sandwiches which were basic and wholesome and filled a hole. The beer comes in barrels behind the bar but I can't comment on how good it was as i was driving. However, it looked good and seemed t go down well with this that were walking. If you are passing on the M11 put the postcode in your Sat Nav and check out lunch here.

I am really just responding to the last review as this person is slightly confused ,The Queens head in Fowlmere has closed to become a Nursery however we are Talking about The Queens head in Newton which has been run by the same family for over 55years and is thriving, well run and adored so it is very much open for business!!

My husband and I enjoyed a lovely Sunday roast yesterday in our local pub. Olwyn’s (OJ Catering) food is superb, her roast dinners are even better than we can cook at home and the Queens Head is the perfect pub to enjoy them in. Fantastic value for the quantity and selection on the plate. The beef is born and reared locally and it was cooked beautifully. Selection of veggies was perfect and there was a great choice of desserts. Thank you for a delicious and relaxing end to a busy weekend!
