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.

Open fire
Great traditional public hous
Aggressively told no mobile phones , 5 years this rule has been in place I was told so I should know better , I've never sat foot in this place ever before nor will I ever visit again
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.
