The Queens Head Public House

No content in this language yet.

The Queens Head Public House is a historic pub on Church Street in Chesham, Buckinghamshire, England. Its official website states that the pub was established in 1746, making it a fixture of the town for well over two centuries. In September 1973 the building was registered as Grade II listed, formally recognising its architectural and historic interest under the British system of statutory heritage protection. For much of its modern life the pub has been owned by the pub company Fuller's, which holds the freehold, and it has been operated by a succession of landlords and tenants. The website describes the pub as "a jewel in the crown of Chesham," reflecting its central place in the town's social life. A significant turning point came in 2023. Chase Inns, a hospitality company founded by Paul, who has over 30 years of experience in the industry, and working with Manuel as Operations Director, had spent a long time searching for its first pub. In August 2023 Chase Inns took over The Queens Head. The new operators carried out what they describe as a sympathetic refurbishment, bringing the pub back to life and creating a combined pub and restaurant that they say is loved by many. The new landlords publicly vowed to respect the pub's heritage and to position it as Chesham's best. Under Chase Inns the pub has developed a dual identity: a traditional public bar serving real ales, premium spirits and cocktails, and a food-led operation featuring Sunday roasts in winter and a Thai kitchen that the website describes as the number-one rated Thai kitchen and authentic cuisine in the area on Trustpilot. The building's layout supports this mix, with a public bar area, a dining area open every day, three further rooms, an enclosed courtyard to the rear, and a restaurant and function room upstairs that can host corporate bookings and private functions. The Queens Head continues to operate as an active pub and restaurant, owned by Fuller's and run by Chase Inns, combining its 18th-century heritage and Grade II listed status with a contemporary food and drink offer aimed at both local regulars and visitors to Chesham.
