Queens Head

The Queen’s Head is a Grade II listed country inn in West Chiltington, a Sussex village near Pulborough. Its traditional pub setting combines a restaurant, bar and community space, with a relaxed atmosphere suited to casual meals, drinks and local gatherings. For diners travelling from Brighton, it offers a village-pub setting away from the city.

The kitchen brings together familiar English pub cooking and original dishes influenced by Caribbean flavours. Food is prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, giving the menu a broad character that can suit guests looking for traditional fare as well as those interested in something less conventional. Vegetarian options are also represented.

The bar focuses on well-kept beers and ciders, including craft ales from established Sussex and Yorkshire breweries, alongside a weekly guest ale. The wine list is small and carefully selected, with bottles from nearby Moralee Farm Vineyard among the local choices. This makes the pub suitable for a pint, a glass of wine or a drink before a meal.

The interior has a cosy, welcoming character that reflects the building’s country-inn heritage. Regular live music, quiz nights and special events add variety to the calendar, while the venue also accommodates private functions and outside catering. Space is available for local community activities, reinforcing the pub’s role as a meeting place for the village.

The Queen’s Head is pet friendly and provides free WiFi and free parking. It suits diners seeking a friendly village pub restaurant, beer and cider drinkers, community groups and organisers looking for a setting for a private event. The address is The Hollow, West Chiltington, Pulborough RH20 2JN.
