The Queens Head
About
Welcome to The Queens Head, a historic village pub and award‑winning restaurant tucked in the picturesque hamlet of East Clandon, just a short drive from Guildford. From the moment you step through its timber‑laden entrance, you’re greeted by a warm, convivial atmosphere that perfectly balances traditional charm with modern elegance. The pub dates back to the 17th century and retains much of its original character, including a cosy fire‑pit in the hearth that’s a favorite spot for guests on cooler evenings. The culinary team draws on fresh, locally sourced produce to craft seasonal menus that showcase the best of Surrey’s countryside – from hearty Sunday roasts to innovative brunch platters and an afternoon tea that rivals the best in the region. Outdoor spaces abound: a spacious beer garden terrace offers alfresco dining under the sky, while the richly appointed dining room provides a relaxed, intimate setting for dates or family gatherings. The fully wheelchair‑accessible design means all visitors can enjoy the venue comfortably. Seasonal events, such as live music on the first and third Thursday of each month and festive carol evenings, add sparkle to the year‑round calendar. The Queens Head’s commitment to quality food, craft beers and friendly service has earned it recognition as one of Surrey’s hidden gems.
