Queens Head Poised to Relaunch After Three Month Closure
Sutton Lane North pub reopening under new management
The Queen's Head in Chiswick
August 20, 2024
The Queens Head pub on Sutton Lane North is planning to reopen this Thursday (22 August) after being closed since May.
It has been taken over by new management in the shape of Paul and Seda Durham.
Paul Durham told us, “We will run the pub as a family friendly place where everyone can relax. We will be food lead and also well-behaved dogs are welcome.”
There will be free canapes and prosecco on offer from 5pm to anyone popping in on the day of the relaunch.
There appears to be little change to the interior and exterior of the pub which was managed by Aneta Barratt previously. Some regulars were unhappy at her sudden departure, but it is unclear how they will react to the reopening.
Records suggest there has been a pub on the site since 1722 and it was first known as the Queen’s Head in 1856 although it has several name changes since then, reverting to the Queen’s Head name in 2018. The previous management had attracted a loyal local following some of whom had been regulars at other pubs in the vicinity which have closed down in recent years.
The pub has an attractive garden at the rear which has been a popular spot during the summer months.
