The Queens Head sits within the picturesque village of Icklesham, on the busy A259 Hastings to Rye Road. The village is set in an area of largely untouched countryside, close to a number of tourist attractions including Hastings, Winchelsea Beach, Camber Sands and the historic citadel town of Rye.
The property is one of the region’s most well-known public houses and is highly visible, being perched on a high point overlooking Brede Valley. This fine Grade II listed property is understood to have been built in 1632 as two dwellings, later converted into a public house in 1831. The property retains a wealth of original character and charm which acts as a fantastic draw to customers. It includes a character bar area with log burner and vaulted ceiling, three dining areas, a further bar and a trad patio and garden providing seating for in excess of 100 customers with stunning views across the surrounding countryside and coastline.
The Queens Head has been successfully run by two business partners for many years, priding itself on its ever-changing range of ales as well as good value home cooked food served daily. There is live music on Sunday afternoons and regular quizzes on Tuesdays. The business has been in the Good Beer Guide for forty consecutive years.
The leasehold interest of the business has been sold to an experienced London operator.
