🚇 Limehouse 🍺 £5.00 Amstel ❤️ A revived friendly Limehouse local. . The Queens Head is located on the corner of atmospheric York Square on the edge of Limehouse in East London. The nearest Tube is Limehouse DLR which is only a four minute walk away. . This pub was built in 1827 and is Grade II listed. After a period of closure the pub was revamped and reopened in March this year. This pub has a claim to fame, in July 1987 the Queen Mother paid a visit and poured herself a pint, declaring it better than champagne. This pub is where “that photo” was taken that you see on pub walls up and down the country. . This is a two bar pub that is simply decorated with bold colours. There is a stripped wood floor running throughout both bars, mid blue and white walls, butt and bead panelling and some wallpapered sections too. The seating is a mix of a large banquette, low and high level stools plus traditional tables and chairs. The traditional servery straddles the two bars and adds a bit character to the overall look and feel of this boozer. . The beer line up was diverse and included two cask ales and brews from the Pillars Brewery in E17. Being as unadventurous as always, I decided on an Amstel. My pint was excellent and reasonably priced at a fiver. The food menu here is predominantly pizza, most of which cost around £12. It was a nice to see you can get pie, mash and liquor for £7.50 from G Kelly's from Roman Road. The pub also does hearty Roasts on a Sunday for £15. . The atmosphere here was friendly and upbeat on this Sunday afternoon. The pub was fairly busy in and out with a mix of local punters and a few exploring the area. This pub shows live sport, there were a few in to watch the F1 and Rugby. This pub has plenty to keep you entertained, there is a quiz on a Monday and Vinyl DJ nights throughout the month. . Great to see this pub back open again and trading. This pub is definitely worth a visit, I’m sure the Queen Mum would have approved. . ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 28.05.23
