Pints fit for royalty!
Originally opened in 1827, the Queen's Head is draped in history with many a story to tell. Most infamously, the Queen’s Mother once pulled her own behind the bar. A pint of Bitter so good that it “tasted better than the champagne served at the palace”. Now that’s one hell of a talking point for the Landlord, Tyler, who recently took over this East London pub in December 2023. Running his own construction company, he has been able to re-design the pub himself, keeping the visual heritage proudly on display inside and out, with historical memorabilia carefully positioned alongside modern refurbishments. It’s a slice of London’s Victoria Quarter history, and the establishment even inspired the EastEnders’ pub; ‘the Queen Victoria’. The rich heritage doesn’t translate to exclusivity and tourist trap prices, however. The Queen’s Head is still for the people and serves a lovely house lager for just £4.50, shows various sports games, has a community dart board, and welcomes guests from all walks of life.
Bentley the Sausage Dog
On most days, guests will be greeted by a rather friendly local of the pub and pet of Tyler, Bentley the Sausage Dog. Bentley has become a part of the experience of the Queen's Head, so much so that a revolving food menu pays homage to the four-legged friend, such as a ‘Bentley in a bun’ hotdog’.
