Events at the Queen

First Family Friday: The first Friday of the month is our family day. Bring mum and dad along and eat from our Prince and Princess menu. All main course dishes on this menu are £5 and are freshly prepared with children in mind. Book early and remember: it’s the first Friday of every month so grab mum and dad and get down to The Queen.

Beer Festival and Village Fete: - 20, 21 and 22 June: Read all about it!

Jazz at the Queen: It seems to be regular but we are still playing it month by month. Book your table and listen to the sounds of The Brandeston Pickles Jazz Band. Tables for food are limited so get in quick.

Fish and Chips: Phone in your order, come down, have a drink and take them home. Enjoy!

Coffee Morning - Wednesdays and Fridays: Now serving Paddy and Scott’s Coffee. We were offering Danish pastries but people just need the coffee and not the pastry. Pop in, kick start your day with a cappuccino or latte. We start at 8:30 and it is a nice way to catch up with friends.

Past Events at The Queen

Alan Randall has been at The Queen since October 2006. In his time here, he has aged considerably, putting up with the locals and poor weather. But, as an optimist, Alan believes that things can only get better. Alan is accompanied out front by a dedicated team of young local casuals ready and willing to serve.

In the kitchen, we have Steve Cannell as head chef accompanied by Maria Hill, our willing commis. This team is also backed by young locals looking to earn extra cash scrubbing pots and pans.

Our team slaves away making dishes to please the customers with the likes of rosemary seared pigeon breast or chicken liver pate; maybe even chorizo and feta cheese salad.

Main courses could include roasted lamb rump or confit duck leg with spring onion mash. For those looking for fish, try our Dukkah spiced black bream with spinach crushed potatoes. Dukkah is an aromatic mix of spices and nuts providing an experience from Egypt but produced in Suffolk.

Puddings provide the likes of chocolate fondant spring rolls with mascarpone ice cream and green tea parfait - yes, that’s right, Green Tea!

All our ice creams come from Parravani’s of Norfolk.

Coffee to follow is supplied by Paddy and Scott of Earl Soham.

Along with a lovely pub in a fantastic location, great beer and wine from Adnams and loyal staff, Alan is aided by his right hand woman, Jane. Sometimes seen behind the bar when she doesn’t have a lot of jobs upstairs.

On New Year’s Eve, Jane grasped the nettle and proposed to Alan. He accepted and now a village awaits the sight of a shiny diamond and the sound of wedding bells. All good things come to those who wait and I am sure we will see on this web site when the arrangements are in place. This also means that Alan will have to stop work briefly for this to all happen.

So, whether it’s a social drink with friends, a birthday party or works gathering -  maybe a cosy dinner for two - the Queen’s Head can look after you.

Remember, we cater for children, have superb gardens to relax in and also provide space for camping and caravans.

In a book published in 1966 called “Signposts to Adnams”, the author talks of the Queen’s Head:  “A special feature is the camping site at the rear of the premises; here is a sun trap - a small secluded field protected by moderately sized trees. This site is five to six degrees warmer than adjacent open country. It would be difficult to find in all England a pleasanter spot inland for an away-from-it-all camping holiday.”

How very true this is.

Remember to make a note to visit the Queen sometime soon. We look forward to welcoming you.
