The Queens

Walk past the shop fronts on Victoria Street and you'll find The Queens holding court like it always has—a solid neighbourhood pub that doesn't need to try too hard. Inside, it's all dark wood, warm lighting, and the kind of place where regulars nod at each other over pints. The menu sticks to what pubs do best: burgers, pies, and proper pub classics that won't disappoint after a walk around the lake or a rainy afternoon in town. It's part of the Craft Union chain, which means decent ales on tap and a kitchen that knows what it's doing, even if it's not reinventing anything.
