Queens Head
The Queen's Head, the first city pub by Crouch Vale Brewery, is a popular local spot known for its two permanent Crouch Vale beers on tap. The pub also offers a rotating selection of beers, which may include a Crouch Vale seasonal brew and a dark beer. The pub, designed in a Victorian L-shaped layout, features bare board flooring and comfortable bench seating, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. During the winter months, the pub's two fireplaces add to its cosy charm. The Queen's Head is particularly bustling during match days at the nearby county cricket ground. While the pub primarily serves bar snacks, it is also the annual meeting spot for the Essex Beard Club every February. The Queen's Head is currently listed in the CME Recommended Pub Guide, further solidifying its status as a beloved local establishment.
