"Superb afternoon tea with Prosecco for a hen do for 11 people we had the back room which the venue had beautifully decorated for us. All special diets were catered for and the food was delicious with the mini quiches needing a special mention! Great different fillings in the sandwiches with the coronation chicken being the star of the show! All the teas were displayed on 3 tier stands which was ideal. All the food was tasty and well presented. The staff work very hard. Would suggest you always book as they get busy. Thank you so much for a lovely afternoon we all had a wonderful time!"

"I can honestly say it exceeded my expectations! The pub itself is charming, and we had the entire gallery to ourselves. The table was beautifully decorated, and the food was absolutely incredible—both visually appealing and delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. A huge thank you to everyone at The Queens Head for helping make our weekend so special. You truly are a wonderful place!"

"We hosted a 60th birthday party at this restaurant yesterday and the venue and staff were incredibly accommodating. Our party of 25 was given exclusive use of the rear of the restaurant. I brought some decorations and balloons, which the venue kindly set up for us. We opted for a buffet, which was delicious, plentiful, and great value for money. We also brought a cake, which was kept hidden until the right moment. Guests praised the venue's appeal and the staff's efficiency, despite the restaurant being busy. We highly recommend the pornstar martini trees, which were a hit with the younger guests. Special thanks to Rebecca and her team for making the party unforgettable!"

"For the past six months I have looked forward to my weekly visits to Trinity. The menu is varied with a plethora of daily offerings and the environment offers a warm,convivial environment for all from family dining, quiet intimate settings, or even special functions. I commute weekly between Ukraine, Chişinău in the Republic of Moldova and UK. The past 18 months have taken a toll on me, both physically, and emotionally. Trinity offers a brief and embracing escape from each week's images I can't release from my mind and soul. And I would be remiss if I did not state that I've fallen in love: Sadly, it's not often we receive superior service from staff in some restaurants. However, without question, each time I arrive I find myself embraced with a warm smile, embracing arms and unparalleled service. What else could one ever ask for? The greeting is as delicious and soul warming as their wonderful tuscan style French Onion Soup. Très been Trinity! Mon Dieu!"

"À la Carte Evening. Their first and I’m sure it won’t be the last. Great venue, tasteful decor with warm lighting. Staff a tad nervous but keen and friendly and no doubt will be operating like clockwork before long. Starters were Japanese inspired tuna dish, great textures and tastes. I had the main Tornado Steak, medium rare, great flavour, rich sauce that shone like silk. Perhaps a bit of colour on the plate would have lifted it visually a tad but I’m being super picky!! My friend had the hake and mussels which was superb as was the broth it came in. A side bowl for shells would be good. Dessert was chocolate fondant, cooked to order, warm and chocolate with sharp raspberry coulis and a cool sweet sorbet. Lush! The red tinto was a great wine and they have a great choice of interesting white reds and roses. There was a green tomato **** Mary between starter n main. Great but the Tabasco heat I felt wasn’t needed. But hey, great first night for this up and coming venue! Lucky Crowhurst! Look forward to the next event guys, keep it up and big respect to the chef. Loved it."
