Property details
Stood proudly in the village since 1590, the Queen’s Head is a large, stylish country pub & restaurant with fantastic outdoor space, located in the village of Boughton-under-Blean, near Faversham, Kent. Perfectly positioned just off the A2, halfway between Canterbury and Faversham, Boughton under Blean is a historic, picturesque village known for its scenic surroundings and proximity to the Forest of Blean. The rural parish encompasses the hamlet of Crouch and the main village at the foot of Boughton Hill, known as Boughton Street, but it also provides easy access to the nearby local towns of Faversham and Canterbury, both within a ten-minute drive.
The Queens Head is presented in immaculate condition with a large, versatile layout that caters for approx.80 covers in total, it houses a feature servery and bar area, a snug, the back restaurant dining room, a small function/dining room and a bar & restaurant area overlooking the garden.
The outdoor space at the Queens Head sets it apart from its competitors. It includes a decked terrace for alfresco drinking and dining for 25 covers, a family-friendly, grassed garden with table bench seating for 60 covers, a built-in band stand and marquee that caters for weddings, events and live music during the fairer weather and a spacious private customer car park.

Live Entertainment
Trading style
Currently trading seven days a week from midday onwards, the Queens Head is a successful, wet-led business with the Boughton locals at its core. It has recently been revitalised as a welcoming, family and dog-friendly hub where the Boughton residents and local community groups can come together to enjoy a drink and a chat or a wide range of entertainment. The busy events calendar includes weekly darts leagues and practice nights, open-mic and karaoke nights, live music, a popular monthly quiz, and seasonal celebrations. The pub's flexible layout, numerous trade areas, and large garden lend themselves well to hosting private events and after-funeral gatherings through close links with the nearby crematorium. The Queens Head has recently seen steady growth in its food trade with a menu full of traditional, home-cooked pub classics served Wednesday to Sunday. This presents a significant opportunity for a new operator to broaden the food offering and hours, to target destination dining, and to further custom.
The Queens Head has the potential to be available immediately for the right applicants, and it is available on either the traditional tenancy model or on a tenanted business partnership agreement. It is a great opportunity for a hands-on operator who would thrive in a community setting to build on the pub's strong, existing foundations and further develop its untapped potential.
