A traditional pub hotel on Church Road in Oxford, close to the city centre, known for its Thai menu alongside British roast dinners.

About The Queens Head

Oxford's city centre and main attractions are within easy reach of The Queens Head, making it a practical base for exploring on foot, while golf, fishing, cycling routes and watersports are all available for those wanting to venture a little further afield. Pubs, bars and restaurants dot the surrounding area too, so there's no shortage of places to carry on the evening after checking in.

The hotel itself occupies a traditional inn on Church Road, with en-suite rooms that are kept comfortable and well-maintained, fitted with powerful showers and thoughtful extras including drinks available in-room. Breakfast is served on site, and free WiFi and 24-hour reception cover the practical side of a stay, with luggage storage on hand for early arrivals or late departures.

The restaurant and bar are a particular draw, serving an authentic Thai menu alongside hearty British roast dinners, from massaman beef curry to a spicy beef fry. Staff are friendly and welcoming, and the pricing is considered fair for what's on offer. Free on-site parking rounds out a stay that suits both overnight stops and longer visits to the city.

I've stayed at this property twice, each time for a duration of two nights. Both visits left a positive impression and gave me a good sense of the consistency in their service and hospitality. The rooms were comfortable and well-maintained, providing a cosy atmosphere for relaxation after a long day. Although the bathroom was on the smaller side, it was impeccably clean and thoughtfully organized. The shower was powerful with a steady supply of hot water, and the facilities overall were more than adequate for a pleasant stay. The amenities provided, such as fresh towels and toiletries, were replenished daily, adding to the overall comfort and convenience.

Stayed here for work. Went in the pub and it was great. Staff in the pub were lovely. Good IPA and a good price. Really busy with lots of friendly customers. Unfortunately the room we stayed in wasn’t great. It was a twin room and the beds were uncomfortable. Shower was a bit of a dribble. Nice touch to give you a little in room breakfast selection.

Booked to try the Thai Menu. Didn't use the hotel facility. Not disappointed! Authentic dishes cooked to suit a western palate, with the option to spice up. 4 of us ate, and we shared starters which were served on a board. Squid, corn fritters, satay chicken, sesame prawn toast and duck rolls. We could have just continued eating these all night they were that good. For mains we had massaman beef curry, chicken massaman, lamb panang. All of which were the best Thai food we have eaten outside of Thailand. The chef prepped some additional chopped chillies for the table which allowed us to spice up to our taste. Highly recommended. We will be going back.
