Our hopes were high as we roled in to the Queen’s Head on a Friday lunchtime for burgers. We had been here in the bad old days before we went professional, and the food and ambience had been good. I waltzed straight up to the bar and ordered the chicken burger and beer deal. $10.90. Neat – the place was busy but plenty of seats around, and there was a good selection of beers. We then wandered back through this quaint little pub, escorted by friendly confident staff, and out into the courtyard. This bit is a bit bleak. Like, how about a tree or a vine anyone? But anyway, we were here for the meat, so we waited…and waited. Over half an hour – looks like cookie doesn’t have much help at lunchtimes. Finally the stuff came. Good bun factor. Me suspects a turkish bun, wiped with oil and toasted. Class. Salad and bacon were the standard deal, and I have to say, so was the chicken. Well cooked, but not a herb or spice to be seen. This was a disappointment when you remember what the place was capable of once. Another presentable but plain meal, and a long wait. The elusive five star burger is out there somewhere though…
