The Queen’s Head has two quizzes on Tuesdays. At 1pm the Over 55′s Club – the Happie Crappie Club – meets and a quiz is part of the afternoon’s entertainment. The Quiz Night takes place on Tuesday evenings starting at 9pm.

Royal Wedding Stag and Hen night!

Posted on April 26, 2011 by | Leave a comment

BELATED “ROYAL WEDDING” MANIA 2011 has hit Hedon with a spate of activities being organised for the big day this Friday.

However, the Queen’s Head has come up with the cheekiest idea by organising the Royal Wedding Stag & Hen Party on Thursday 28th April. This night will appeal to all those eager to celebrate the Royals “last night of being single”.

Fancy dress Royal look-a-likes will find a welcome home on this particular night! And I’m sure that landlord Andy Brown and his staff will join in the fun by donning their own Royal Fancy Dress??

Reports and photos please to be sent to the Hedon Blog… :-)

‘Britain’ will be the theme at The Queen’s on Royal Wedding day itself. Customers have been cordially invited to a British Tea Party, British Quiz and British Bingo! A local singer will provide entertainment.

National Yorkshire Pudding Week

IT’S YORKSHIRE PUDDING WEEK at the Queen’s Head in Hedon. And the pub is offering a free yorkie to all customers all week! Ooo – Is that with gravy I wonder!?

If like me you wonder where the idea for “national” days come from, then in this case the www.recipes4us.co.uk website claims to have invented Yorkshire Pudding Day in 2008. It is supposed to take place on the first Sunday in February. But if a Yorkie is worth eating for a day – it’s worth eating one each day for a week!

Did you know…? “batter” or “dripping” pudding, as Yorkshire Pudding was previously named, has been cooked for centuries. It was originally flatter than today’s version, and was cooked in a tin beneath meat which was being roasted on a spit over a fire so it could catch all the drippings from the meat. From Recipes4us.
