Queen bess Public house in Scunthorpe

Derwent Road Ashby, Scunthorpe DN16 2PE

About This Pub

Ah, the Queen Bess Public House – it's one of those spots that really sticks in your mind for its old-school charm. From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this great traditional feel with an open fire that warms you up on a chilly evening, and the drinks are priced just right, making it a wallet-friendly choice for a casual night out. I love how they've got this no mobile phones policy; it's like a gentle nudge to put the tech away and actually engage with the people around you – revolutionary, as one reviewer put it! That said, it's not for everyone; a couple of folks mentioned it coming across as a bit aggressive if you're not prepared, and the quiet atmosphere might leave you wanting more excitement if you're in the mood for something upbeat. Overall, if you're after a relaxed pint and some genuine conversation, it's a gem, but it pays to know what you're getting into beforehand.

Pros and Cons

Pros

It's a lovely, traditional pub with a cosy open fire that makes you feel right at home.
The no mobile phones policy is a refreshing change, encouraging proper chats and connections over a pint.
Drinks are inexpensive, so you can enjoy a few without breaking the bank.
The atmosphere is quiet and relaxed, ideal for unwinding after a long day.

Cons

The strict no mobile phones rule can feel a bit forceful for first-timers, potentially putting some off.
It might be too quiet for those after a more lively vibe, as it's not exactly buzzing with energy.
With no website, it's tricky to get more info online before heading over.

Thought I'd check to see if you have to put your name in here n guess what it does it automatically through Facebook, so it just shows nate brand talks bollocks n he put his review on here himself as he has a password on his phone! Just proving a point! But yes good pub food atmosphere good people n most importantly great beer,cheers all.
