The Queen & Beaver Public House

I loved the vibes at this place! The rustic, old-world charm was exactly what I expected—such a cozy, inviting atmosphere. It wasn’t too busy when I visited on a Sunday at 3 PM, which made for a relaxed dining experience. One thing that really caught my eye in the reviews was the use of purple cabbage. It looked so vibrant and fresh on the plate, and I couldn’t wait to see it for myself. I also noticed that the place didn’t have the best food pictures in the reviews, but I’m so glad I took a chance because the Sunday roast looked incredible. When the food arrived, it came quickly, and everything was beautifully presented. The meat was cooked perfectly medium-rare, just how I like it—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The gravy complemented the meat so well, adding that rich depth. The veggies were spot on—cooked to perfection, not too soft or too firm, and seasoned just right. The Yorkshire pudding was delicious, with the perfect balance of crispiness on the outside and softness inside, though it was a little more eggy than I prefer. For three of us, the total came to $130, which I thought was very reasonable considering we had three Sunday roasts and two mimosas. It’s definitely a place I’d recommend for a relaxed Sunday meal with great food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

What a wonderful place. Prior I had come for the Sunday roast and it was 10/10. Today we came for lunch and Hannah our server was absolutely fabulous. She was so knowledgeable about the food, and was so supportive of our quick turn around. We had the three course menu, and the Avocado toast and it was incredible. As a rule I would say this is the only place I would ever order a salad again and again. The Kale salad is a show stopper. (I haven’t ever said that ever about kale) the Fish and Chip came along with a tartar sauce that dreams are made of and the most delicious mushy peas. And I think their sticky toffee pudding with the vanilla bean ice cream should stop time. It’s piping hot and puts our families secret recipe to shame. The prices reflect quality and the beauty and skill of the staff. Your drinks are filled, along with your tummy and heart.

Came here for winterlicious and enjoyed our food. We got the kale salad, olive and artichoke toast, haddock and chips, minced beef soccer pie, sticky toffee pudding, and apple and shortbread crumble. Everything came out hot and fresh, although our mains took quite some time to arrive. Our server was lovely and offered us coffee on the house because of the wait. While the flavours were all on point, I wish the fish and chip batter was a bit crispier (the middle got soft shortly after it arrived) and held onto the fish better as the batter came right off the haddock. And the mash that came with the soccer pie was a bit cold. The standouts were the desserts. Decadent, generous and delicious with a nice hot and cold contrast between the cake/crumble and ice cream.

Ok so this is the type of pub I like. Not a franchise. Something more authentic. Went for brunch. Nice menu. Some more traditional options. Friendly staff and some good beer. Will be going back again.

Sundays are for roast! We love a good Sunday roast, it's the perfect way to end the weekend. We always go to this place, their roast is amazing and their drinks are the best in the city. Highly recommend checking them out if you're ever in the area.

Great food, the servers remember their guests and always make you feel very welcome. The scotch egg is simply delicious order two! The sound system is great for watching sports like EPL soccer games. The 2nd floor is very cozy; the chair options makes for a relaxing visit.

This place gives off an instant cozy vibe when you walk in. Service was super friendly. Blueberry pancakes are an enormous portion. Our server told us he’s only seen 3 people finish the whole thing. Full English is delicious (though I wished there were more mushrooms, because I love mushrooms). The sausage is different than American style breakfast sausage taste. It has a more coarse grind which was interesting, and herb taste which I couldn’t identify. Washrooms are upstairs, past an extra room where a group of people were cheering at a soccer game playing on a TV.

Follow @bredgyeats for more food! The Sunday special truly lives up to its name, making me forget about all the woes and responsibilities for Monday. This feast is a beautifully roasted beef striploin, cooked to an ultra tender and juicy medium rare and drowned in a red wine gravy made from the beef drippings, for a richer, slightly sweet addition to the beef. My first time having Yorkshire pudding has me immediately hooked. The crisp exterior contrasts the airy and fluffy interior, with a fragrant eggy aroma and lots of surface area to soak up the gravy. Each bite was always so exciting from the sweet parsnip puree, roasted potatoes, honeyed carrots, and braised cabbage, a refreshingly sweet palate cleanser. Also couldn't skip the scotch egg with piccalilli, which is also my first time with it. It has a gentle acidity to balance the sweet honey mustard, with cauliflower, pepper and shallots inside that balance the savory taste of the scotch egg. The crust on the scotch egg is exquisite, with a satisfyingly crispy texture and a moist porky bite mixed with fennel seeds, black pepper and other spices that are elevated by the jammy richness of the egg yolk.
