Friendly local pub with log fire and real ales. Dog Friendly.
The Queen’s Head is a wonderful corner ‘local’ pub, where the passion for good beer is reflected in the excellent quality of the cask ales on tap. Four Crouch Vale beers are always available, plus ever-changing guest beers from craft, micro and regional brewers, including dark mild and stout/porter as well as beers rarely found in the area.
A refurbishment has retained the character of the pub while offering various areas within the pub, from ‘bare boards’ to comfortable bench seating and tables for dining from the pub menu. On the subject of food, you will find it good-value basic, hearty and wholesome in the classic no-frills, alehouse style.
8 minutes walk from the train and bus stations, the pub is 300 yards from The County Ground, home of Essex County Cricket Club, and close to all that Chelmsford city centre has to offer.

Usually pretty much like a graveyard with a limited selection on. BUT beer is always very good and a nice layout and fire inside. Good if you want a quiet one
Nice quiet pub. With original features
Decent old-school pub. Very good value for money.
Deceptively big on the inside . Looking from outside you would expect it to be cramped, but there is a large conservatory on the back . Nice log fire going on our visit, not very busy and only one hand pull on ! .Think they had some others, probably craft. These were advertised on boards on the wall .Staff were welcoming and would happily revisit the pub.
The pub has excellent real ales, however, there's no ambiance or character to the place and definitely needs a refurb. The manager is somewhat to be desired, at best he's grumpy and at worst he's just rude and offensive. Other members of staff aren't that much better. If you want a decent ale in a decent real ale pub give Queens Head a miss and try The Orange Tree which is a 45 second walk away. It explains why Queens head is like graveyard most nights, Crouch Vale Brewery time you got yourself a new pub manager.
