    Food was ok - very busy place and reminded frequently about your 2 hours, even if youโ€™re seated late. We asked about whether we got the table for a little longer and the person was quite rude and rolled her eyes at us as she walked away which put a bit of a negative spin on things. Food was ok, not as nice as previous but donโ€™t think Iโ€™d go again. Fine for a quick meet up though.

    Hi Jenna, thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback on your visit. We are sorry to hear you felt rushed at your table - unfortunately the festive period is a very busy time for us, so we often have bookings back to back all through the day. Though in your case some of your party were running late and you therefore chose to be seated 15 minutes after your table was booked, the time slot that was state in your booking confirmation could not be extended. We do try our best to accommodate last minute changes, but it is, unfortunately, not always possible. We hope to see you again soon, and have a great festive period!

    Fantastic Sunday roast. Just ensure when you book a table to not ask for e booth if more than 2 people- quite claustrophobic. Best tables at to the left on the bar- for 4 so ask for those.

    Really enjoyed our evening meal at the Queen's. It was our first visit and we'll definitely return. Delicious food, great beer, vast range of whiskies, friendly efficient service and a real buzz about the place. Only minor quibble was that the chips were too crispy hard for someone with sensitive gums.
