The story
The Queens Chew Magna delivers award-winning British cooking to the village of Chew Magna, situated just outside Bristol. Head Chef Jordan Meagher directs the kitchen with a focus on elevated pub comfort and strict adherence to seasonal availability. The team sources produce from trusted local suppliers to ensure every dish reflects the current moment of the year.
Jordan Meagher shaped the menu after working at Bells Diner and Root, combining techniques from those venues with a clear vision for modern pub fare. He introduced small sharing plates alongside refined adaptations of traditional formats, allowing diners to sample a wider range of flavours. This approach to British cooking has secured an AA Rosette, recognising the consistent standard maintained across the service.
The kitchen builds its repertoire around proper pub classics prepared with care and precision. A traditional Sunday Roast serves as a weekend staple, drawing guests who value time-honoured preparations. Between meals, the menu offers inventive small plates that encourage group dining, along with substantial options like gourmet burgers and flavourful vegetarian dishes. All offerings adapt regularly to match what arrives fresh from local farms.
This family-run venue functions as a community hub where the hospitality extends into boutique-style bedrooms. Visitors can book the intimate private dining room for gatherings, reserving a dedicated space within the pub environment. The main floor supports a relaxed atmosphere for casual lunches and evening cocktails, maintaining a balance between the energy of a busy bar and the comfort of a home away from home.
