A nineteenth-century local at the heart of the Chalke Valley, the Queen’s Head keeps the character of a country pub while turning out a menu that runs from pub classics to more considered plates, with a few bedrooms for those who linger. Walk it off on the surrounding downs, or head north-west to the Iron Age ramparts of Chiselbury Camp.
