Queens Head, Chackmore

Although the Pub dates back to the 17th century, it was completely rebuilt, then reopened after nearly five years in 2023.

Decor and furnishing are high quality. Entrance porch opens onto stone-flagged floor with a variety of different-sized solid tables and chairs. Discrete TV screen is on your left, a wood-burning stove in the fireplace to your right and the large L-shaped bar ahead of you on on the left hand side, On the right, facing the bar is a wooden-floored slightly raised area (just one step up) with banquettes, tables and chairs.

The bar holds four handpumps with three in regular use - Timothy Taylor's Landlord or Boltmaker will always be served and at least one local ale amongst the two or three changing beers. Several craft beers available from taps.

It also now provides a good quality lunch menu five days a week with freshly-prepared food, using local suppliers when possible.

Parking can be difficult in village and beware that some side roads and tracks are private, but there is a small parking area on the left just as you enter the village.

Please note: no cash taken; cards only.
