What Pub tells a sorry tale: "Built in 1840. ... pub closed on 7 Sept. 2016 ... Planning app dated 03 Aug 2018: Change of use of first and second floors of Queen's Head to residential use; ... Closed for very substantial internal refurb. The interior is being knocked down and just the facade being kept; a new basement is being dug. The shell and core is expected to be completed by the end of summer 2020. ... As at March 2023 it is reported:It is thought the site could soon become the second to open under the Tom Kerridge Butcher’s Tap & Grill concept."
