Discover Our Selection of Local Ales and International Wines
Tucked into the heart of East Clandon, The Queen’s Head isn’t just a place to gather — it’s where discerning drinkers come to savour something truly special. Whether you’re partial to a proper pint of cask ale or enjoy swirling a glass of something bold and full-bodied, our carefully curated drinks list makes us one of the standout real ale pubs near Guildford.
We believe a pub should pour with character — not just from its beams and fireplaces, but from every glass behind the bar. That’s why our cellar is stocked with locally brewed ales, crisp lagers, and a wine list East Clandon can be proud of.
A Pint with Provenance
Let’s talk real ale. Our taps are dedicated to a rotating range of cask ales from Surrey and beyond, handpicked from independent breweries who know their way around malt and hops. Expect everything from rich amber bitters to citrusy pale ales, all served with care and just the right amount of head.
You might find yourself sipping a Guildford Gold one week, and discovering a seasonal stout the next. We’re not about gimmicks — we’re about honest beer, expertly kept, poured in a proper pub atmosphere.
And if you’re someone who knows their Brakspear from their Hopback, you’ll be right at home here. But even if you’re new to the world of real ale, our team is always happy to offer tasters or a bit of friendly guidance.
Wines Worth Winding Down With
We take wine seriously — but never too seriously. Our wine list includes a thoughtful blend of old world elegance and new world flair. Whether it’s a velvety Rioja, a zingy Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc or a dry Provence rosé for summer sipping in the garden, each bottle has been chosen to pair beautifully with our seasonal menu — or to be enjoyed simply on its own.
Not sure what to choose? We offer many of our wines by the glass, so you can mix and match or settle in with your favourite. For special occasions (or just a midweek treat), we’ve got a few hidden gems tucked away that our regulars know to ask for.
Raise a Glass in Good Company
Of course, a great drink tastes better when shared. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet one by the log fire in winter, or chatting away in the garden under a summer sky, The Queen’s Head is the kind of place where moments linger and glasses rarely go empty.
And it’s not just about what’s in the glass — it’s the welcome, the setting, and the stories that unfold around the table. So whether you’re in for a post-walk pint, a celebratory bottle with friends, or just fancy trying something new, there’s always a seat and a sip waiting for you here.
We’re proud to be a real ale pub Guildford can count on, and to offer a wine list East Clandon locals love — and visitors seek out. Come and taste the difference for yourself.
