Queens Head

The Queens Head

The Queen’s Head is a village pub with style. Inside the welcome is warm and the atmosphere fresh and airy. Outside new signage proudly proclaims that the Queen’s Head is at the heart of village life.

It might not have been so. Floods in the summer of 2007 saw 3m of water sweep through the pub, wrecking not just the Queen’s Head but many houses in the village. It took four months to dry, clean and rebuild the interior of the pub, but it did reopen and once again it thrives. Neil and Clare Warren are the proud licensees of the Queen's Head, Sedgeberrow, nr Evesham, in Worcestershire.

Neil and Clare believe their commitment to village life has helped this attractive, welcoming pub to prosper. An entry on the village’s website shows how important the Queen’s Head is to village life.

It reads: “This pub is my local. It offers outstanding beer and fantastic food. The food is adventurous and well prepared.” The pub is a proper local, offering locally brewed Hook Norton beers and most of the food is sourced from local farmers and suppliers.

The menu is wholesome but imaginative – salmon and prawn fishcakes, pork crackling with apple and cider sauce and black pudding and a poached egg are popular starters. Main course include a rack of lamb, fillet steak and mushroom stroganoff. The pub has a small intimate restaurant area and a comfortable welcoming bar where customers can stand or relax at one of the tables.

Outside there is a small intimate patio. Darts and dominoes teams thrive – Sunday night is quiz nights. Sedgeberrow lies just off the A46, about four miles south of Evesham.
