HISTORY
The Queen's Head is Pinner's oldest Inn and steeped in history. Records show that there has been an Inn on the site since 1540, although there is a theory that there was an Ale house on the site here when King Edward III signed the Royal Charter to create Pinner's annual fair in 1336. We know for certain that our cellars are 12th century. During the 16th and 17th centuries, the Inn was ca
lled The Crown; only in 1715 was it renamed The Queen's Head. In 1872, Eleanor, the daughter of Horatio Nelson, Nelson's only daughter, was killed by a bolting horse outside The Queen's Head. It is said that her benevolent ghost still roams the rooms of the pub. Both Eleanor and Horatia are buried locally. FOOD AND DRINK

We are extremely proud of the accolades we receive for the condition of our ales and lagers. This is in part due to the comprehensive Cellar Cleaning programme we undertake every Monday morning. This involves using copious amounts of water to flush the lines through, then a special line cleaner, followed by even more copious amounts of water to complete the task. To give you an idea of what this involves, please click on 'line cleaning' to see a graphical representation of the cellar. This information is extrapolated from our idraught system, and shows the last 4 weeks cleaning. EVENTS
Every Monday night at 8.30pm we have Quiz Night. Come and exercise the grey matter, great prizes and lots of fun. We have monthly Bingo on the first Wednesday of each month with eyes down at 8.30pm.
