The Queen's Head was an old inn situated at the top of Bridewell Street near the top of the Market Place. The original timbers of the building date to just after the great fire of 1615, but most of the present exterior is Victorian with the exception of the main entrance that dates back to the 1600s.

Now the pub is more of a fine dining restaurant destination. The pub was owned by the Diss Brewery from around 1800 but later became a Lacons and then a Whitbread house. It was used as the meeting place for The Agincourt Lodge of Manchester Independent Oddfellows in the late 19th and early 20th century.
