About Queens Head Inn Tirril

Dating back to 1719, The Queens Head Inn is a country pub, restaurant and hotel in the small village of Tirril, close to Penrith and a stone’s throw from Ullswater. It's everything you would expect of an ancient inn with low ceilings, dark wooden beams and furniture, original flagstone floors, an inglenook fireplace and two-foot-thick walls which keep it warm in winter and cool in summer. Real ales and hearty home-cooked food feature along with plenty of vegan and gluten-free choices, roast dinners, and a Seasonal Specials menu. There is plenty of outside seating too both in the garden and on the heated and covered terrace area. The Queens Head Inn also has seven ensuite and pet-friendly bedrooms.

Sorry to say but we didn’t eat. We arrived just before 6pm. We waited about 25 mins for a drink at the table. Another 20 mins for our order to be taken and after being there an hour a half our food still had not arrived. We did ask how long but we were not prepared to wait any longer. There were complaints in the dining room from a large party that the food that they had pre ordered ( which arrived an hour or so late) was not cooked properly namely the chicken. This put us off even more. There was a young girl serving a full bar, and waiting on in the restaurant. She said that they were short staffed! The ‘chef’ was behind the bar and bringing the food out to the big table. They were taking walk ins for food. The waitress was struggling with the bar and people were waiting over 30mins for drinks. I’m from an F&B background and it was awful to watch. Especially when the pub was recommended.

We were a party of 16 having a pre Christmas lunch. The restaurant was accommodating in the request to where we were seated. Thank you for that. Being a large party we had pre booked our menu choices. We all opted for the Sunday lunch. Food was served promptly and piping hot. The children were served at the same time as adult starters and they all tucked in. The food was tasty and everyone enjoyed their meal. Service was extremely efficient with polite and friendly staff. Thank you to all the staff at the Queen's Head.

The pub is so lovely and bar staff so nice but I have to be honest the food wasn't great overpriced for what you get sorry

This was our first visit and unfortunately will not return. The young lady was run off her feet, trying to do 10 jobs at once but was very helpful and really tried her best to accommodate l. The chef that brought out the food was obnoxious and off hand. Food was very poor, cold and expensive for what we got. Will definitely not retum or recommend

This was our first visit to the Queens Head as we were visiting the area for a holiday. I booked a table and made mention it was my wife's birthday. We were warmly welcomed and the team had decorated the table with a banner and balloons as a birthday treat. The food was good and the atmosphere comfortable with a lovely open fire blazing. Service was very friendly but slow Overall an excellent visit and will go again

Portion size was great, food value for money and be staff and owners where very friendly.

This was our first visit since the management change and we are very pleased to report that all is well - a good meal in the dining room and Louisa and Grace looked after us well. The pub looks as though it has also been smartened up a little and with an open fire, what's not to like
Tony
Food was perfect. Although the service for taking our food and drink order was very slow.
