The Business
The Queen operates as a village public house and welcomes destination drinkers as well as regular customers from the local area. The property has been known to host wedding receptions on its sizeable lawns and is particularly popular during the summer months. In the past, the venue was renowned for its premium menu food offering and a new operator could use the sizeable commercial kitchen to reestablish this.
