Queen Bess

Queen Bess is a Grade II listed pub in Scunthorpe built with red brick and plain tile roof. The interior includes a large games room at the rear with pool and snooker tables for visitors to use.

The pub was built in 1959 for Samuel Smith brewery from Tadcaster and later received protected status. This recognition came because of its architectural importance as a post-war building.

The pub keeps its original interior features with wood paneling, bar counters, and period furnishings from when it first opened. Visitors experience the character of a traditional English pub from the post-war era as they move through these spaces.

The pub is located on Derwent Road and operates daily during extended hours. Guests can enjoy outdoor bench seating and there is parking available nearby.

Its name comes from one of the blast furnaces at the nearby British Steel works that was Britain's largest in 1945. This industrial link connects the local heritage directly to the pub's identity.
