Welcome to The Queen's Head
An award winning 15th Century Free House in the conservation village of Hawkedon. Superb cask ales, extensive wine list, regular food evenings, luxurious apartments

Hawkedon

The Queen nestles off the beaten track in the picturesque conservation village of Hawkedon, for many people the quintessential English village with church, timber framed cottages, manor farm and pub all surrounding the village green

Food

We now cook every Thursday and Friday evenings, please follow our social media for dates. In addition we offer a selection of sandwiches and fries every Saturday lunchtime.

Beer

The Hawkedon Queen has been respected for many years as one of the few true Free Houses with a robust and knowledgeable drinking trade drawn from all walks of life and backgrounds and a high throughput of craft beers to ensure a great selection of cask conditioned ales

Wine

We select our bottles carefully and naturally hope to offer really interesting drinkable wine at reasonable price points. Our Wine Tasting Evenings are regularly hosted throughout the year and are great fun

Classic

As a picturesque country pub with a supportive local community there’s usually something going on at The Queen whether it’s a regular monthly event, an annual or a simply a one off

FULL OF UNIQUE CHARACTER AND CHARM

The Queen’s Head has been trading since 1478 and is a historic and atmospheric former Coaching Inn. We’ve been here since 2003 and for the bulk of that time cooked most sessions offering hearty, nourishing food sourcing produce from local suppliers where possible. In the past we have bred our own lamb, hogget, mutton, pork and beef for the table and what started as a hobby proved sufficiently popular that for a number of years we ran an on-site Butcher’s Shop.

At the present time we cook every other Thursday and Friday evenings offering homemade pizza and steaks on the Thursdays and Fish & Chips on the Fridays. Please look at our social media for exact dates. In addition we offer a selection of sandwiches and fries every Saturday lunchtime.

We also offer Group Bookings by arrangement with fixed  menu options. We are also happy to provide an evening meal for any guests staying overnight in our accommodation with us.
