Crown in Shropshire

Met with friends and family for my late partner's celebration of life. Atmosphere was excellent and the food was lovely. Landlady, Tina, was most welcoming. Will definitely be visiting again

Food is great. Staff are fantastic.

My favourite pub in the area food is ass bar staff are brilliant

Warm amd friendly pub, helpful and welcoming staff. Always a pleasure to visit

Brilliant service. Took our autistic son for a birthday meal with his 3 carers. Chef worked through his break to serve us. Brilliant service and great food. Thank you x

Staff are welcoming and polite, nice friendly atmosphere, good food good service.

Good clean pub with good range of beers and coffees

Absolutely wonderful, well mannered staff. Quick service And a brilliant atmosphere 👏

what a place fantastic food awsum local pub and as newbie felt welcome as soon as we walked in cannot fault anything

What a lovely village pub. If you are looking for a friendly pub with a great atmosphere and lovely food and drinks, pop in and see Tina and Nigel and the team. Megan puts on a great quiz and the whole team just want to make your experience there a good one. So go give them a whirl. You won't be sorry.

good friendly local pub, great for quick picky food, hollie makes great cocktails and takes her time to let us know what’s in each one

Albrighton is blessed with good village pubs including The Crown. Tina, Megan and the staff are very friendly and attentive. The beer is reliably in good condition with a couple of regular ale choices as well as Marston's own brews. To be picky, the wine selection is limited but Marston's dictate that, I believe. Food is reliable hearty pub food served with a smile and a courtesy check to ensure we are happy. This is a community-pub deservedly with many regulars.

Always love the picky bits and drinks at this pub! Tina, Charlotte, and Nigel always do a fantastic job and creating a family friendly and fun atmosphere, the selection of drinks are amazing! Will always pick this pub to drink at in the village!

Tina and the staff are amazing, so child friendly and pet friendly, always Make everyone feel welcome. Amazing customer service shout out to Tina, Charlotte,Stacey, kira ,izzy and Justin and especially holly.... always so helpful overtime we come in... come in you'll feel so relaxed and at ease xxx

Back here for the second time in the last few weeks and standards are still the same even on match day amazing food and great customer service. Best pub in Albrighton by far..

Tina is qmazing!! such good food service and customer service, defo the best pub in Albrighton I've moved recently and won't go anywhere else always a great atmosphere and pets and kids welcome tina cannot do enough for all her customers.

Always eat at The Crown, great food, great service, bar staff are friendly, welcoming and always willing to go the extra mile to accommodate customers. Lovely village pub!

Short changed me a tenner for 2 drinks give her £20 and got less than tenner back I hadn’t realised until after I drank my drink but I know 100 percent I brought £40 with me , it’s a young girl and mistakes happen and I wouldn’t dare go back in case I’m called a liar just check your cctv and the truth will emerge, stopped serving food 17 mins before watched them turn away a family of 10 pretty dumb….had to travel 15 mile to get there gone out my way to eat there as food on to 3 and now driving 15 mile back disappointed and a tenner down probs won’t get my money back

Great place ! My daughter wanted her birthday meal there and staff went out of there way to put a banner up bring her cake out. Theyve gone the extra mile tonight and its greatly appreciated

Had a visit here by chance. Lush pint and chips. Very chilled. Great happy bar staff. Which I love. Prices and value were spot on. Definitely will come back. #fabulous

Not been in for a while but good beer and nice staff!

Turned up after 9pm and car park was pitch black. Didn’t realise you had to pay for parking as car park has minimal light. What Pub makes u pay for parking anyway when you are getting food, drinks and spending over £200 between a group. Enjoy my £60 fine as it’s last bit of money ur ever getting off me

Lovely quality homemade food. Quaint little pub. Friendly staff. Nice simple very reasonably priced menu. Was very quiet not many people in

Travelled over from Wales to meet friends I've got to say the Crown was a warm and relaxing pub the young barmaid was lovely and professional very polite,the food and drink was spot on and reasonably priced, would highly recommend if your passing through.

Good food, reasonable prices, pleasant staff

A friendly village pub offering a lovely menu. Staff and the landlady, Tina are very welcoming ensuring your visit is very enjoyable

If you're looking for a decent meal I wouldn't bother. Steak offer all day.....but they have no steak?! no jam sponge either. Add to this the mayonnaise was off which I only realised after I put it all over my chips! I definitely won't be returning.

My ratings reflect the fact it cost me £65 for a drink....been parking next to the pub for 40 years, so I missed the fact that you have to pay now!

Very helpful and welcoming staff, nothing is too much trouble. Food was delicious just what we were looking for.

I have only eaten once in The Crown and it was a while back. The food was nice: I had scampi and chips. The staff in The Crown are very nice. I recently lost the tiny glass front of my gold watch in there and amazingly the staff found it and kept it for me. Also my cat escaped from my new build house by accident and the lady in The Crown put out messages on Facebook for me. Fortunately my cat came back. I always find everyone in there polite and helpful.

Had not been to Albrighton for a long while ( lived there for 20 years ) met friends for drinks nice to see the old place , drove 2 hours back home , 3 days later got a parking ticket for £100 thought it was a scam , telephoned the crown and they told me they have parking charges , must say did not look for car park charges , beer was ok but will not be going to the crown again

Came in with my family had a good meal and the staff were great

Unless things change i will not come back here. The portions are minimal for the value of the meal. May as well left the chips off the meal as hardly any on the plate. Left on the warmer for ages too.

AVOID this place unless you want to be served with a parking fine even though you have paid for your parking!!! Landlady very rude & unhelpful even though it was her member of staff that had told us should we have a problem that the landlady would deal with the parking company on our behalf. Also submitted a complaint to Marstons about landlady & parking fine.

I like the oldy look of the pub and inside is nice too

Quiet country pub. Friendly bar staff. I only had 1 pint of draft bitter so can't comment on the food here. Beer was £3.95

We turned up after football expecting food which was offered , we waiting 45 minutes but still yet no food we got told it was on way and will be a couple minutes , next we were told they aren’t doing anything doesn’t know who told us that , we all left after ages and had to go somewhere else

Good value for money, missing a few menu items. Waitress / barwoman was really friendly

It was my first time visiting this pub today, i cannot fault the service and friendliness of the staff whatsoever, absolutely lovely people and great service but the food was extremely poor for the price. Burger was overcooked and very poor quality, tasted like a cheap frozen one from a festival and was very disappointing - was really looking forward to it as well, for £11 I'm not expecting gourmet but at least Wetherspoons quality? Starter was also overcooked and the hunters chicken was dry and also overcooked. Sorry guys, can't fault the drinks or the service but the food leaves a lot to be desired ☹ Everything else was on point, one of the friendliest pubs I've ever been into actually so it's not ALL bad news.

Charming county pub to look at both inside and out. If you only want a drink then this country pub fits the bill. However if you want food it's a different story. We waited 45mins for our meal during which time we only saw two other plates of food come out of the kitchen. The food was ok. Sorry to say the experience of the service inside The Crown didn't match the charm and promise of the exterior.

Very poor, we waited more than an hour for our food. Half an hour after we ordered a member of staff told us that one of the meals we had ordered was not available, left a menu so we could choose something else but then walked off and didn't come back! When the meals finally came out one of them was the wrong meal.

Food and service were excellent here tonight. Pub is great an a fabulous village. We had walked from the harp but the crown had a much better atmosphere. Would recommend booking for food.

A very welcoming environment with friendly staff and clients. You had a good range of ales to enjoy. I will definitely come again

I really like this pub. The staff are friendly and the food is usually very good. I believe the menu is getting a change and as such resulted in a not perfect order. However once again the great staff sorted everything out as best they could and a fine night was had by the group.

Cracking pint Guinness, I believe down to Nigel Constantly looking after line. Great service. Enjoy it

Nice pint in nice surroundings.

Lovely drink and great atmosphere, a credit to the landlady

It's ok.half decent selection of beer. Service can be a bit slow. Dog friendly.

Mysellf and my family..visited the crown for the christmas extravaganza. The food was lovely as we're the ales. The children loved the grotto and there presents..I'd just like to say a huge thank you to the landlady and staff for a great evening...

I base this on 2 separate occasions. Went with 2 children at about 4pm, i got told chef was on a break at would return at 5. Ended up being more like 530, but gave them the benefit of the doubt. Next time attended at 5.15pm only to be told the same story again and would have to wait an hour. With children crying i had to take them to a more reliable pub. I always wondered why a nice looking pub in the centre on the village never has any customers, this goes someway to explain. I will not be giving them a 3rd chance to mug me off

Absolutely awful and extremely rude landlady. We had pre booked yet they gave our table to others. Along with locals, they helped us get an area for our party. We waited over 1hr 45 minutes for pre ordered food which when it eventually came was awfully small portions, some were cold and had items missing. We were that hungry we ordered dessert but again had to wait. Again we had to send some back as the chocolate puddings were burnt. We complained due to the awful service but the landlady was so rude. Another party were refused dessert as the chef couldn't cope and they waited 1.5 hours. Absolutely awful service. My advice is avoid! A complaint has been submitted to Marstons.

Food took along time to come. Food alr tho.

Table of 20, pre-booked, pre ordered arrived at 7:20, food arrived around 8:30-9:30, waited until 10:10 for desserts. Mains & Starters: Food tasted good but the portion was way too small and the price was definitely not worth it. Desserts: completely plain, presentation wise was completely average, overpriced again (just look at the scoop of the ice cream) Service: Forgot two of us' mains they had to wait an extra hour due to miscommunication from the staff Overall: Too expensive to eat out, might be different for drinks

Beautiful pub with realy nice atmosphere owner couldn't do enough for customers would highly recommend

The Crown was brilliant as usual. We had beer and food again! :-) STOP PRESS Visited again 22/10/22, excellent as usual but I'd like to draw your attention to the pie! Yes, a proper pie, not a dish with a flap of pastry on top!

I have been drinking in the crown for the last 10 years and over the last 5 years have watched it decline losing customers due to the state of the beer and food and the hygiene of the place . But in the last few months all the negatives have been turned round by the new management beer tastes fresh food that's really tasty and last of all the pub is clean again. I really do hope everyone starts to come back and give the new management a chance. Keep up the good work guys

We went to The Crown pub with the family for Sunday lunch. The food was amazing and excellent service. Very friendly. Will definitely be going back.

Nice meal, lovely beer excellent

Very helpful staff and very clean hotel. Spa and sauna not working so this being the reason I booked this hotel was a bit of a let down hence only 4 stars

Not everything on the menu was available, I know this happens during busy times of the year but the place was empty other than local beer drinkers and we ate at 12.30. Waited 45 minutes for food, had to send back to be corrected. Food was average quality, usual cheap pub chain meals prepped rather than cooked

New land lady! Has taken over, this is an amazing place to go! Great food! Great vibes!! Everyone is friendly! New manger is great! No better people could be running the crown! Must vist even if it's just fkr a drink!! Must go! 10/10 for food! Burgers are amazing!

Nice pub, serving traditional fayre. Was quiet during my visit. Friendly staff. Plenty of seating available

Extremely efficient bar staff, pleasant and nothing was to much trouble

Just popped in for Sunday Lunch. Pleasant bar lady said sorry No Roasts No steaks No gammon. Not a problem we asked for fish n chips. Came out no tartar sauce. 1 hunters chicken Burnt to a crip on bottom and tough. Waitress told chef/ microwave jockey Who did not come out to apologise Said we could have a free drink No thank Will not be attempting to eat here again

Three times visited recently went for Sunday lunch choicebeefor turkey father chose turkey we were told not available so we had beef which was all but inedible. The other times we were there the chef was not. Very disappointing

Great food and good staff and a good place to visit

Called for evening meal saturday ,it wasnt very busy so thought we had struck lucky.I went to the bar and ordered a lager and a wine.The young man behind the bar looked half asleep and didnt seem to know what he was doing.Not enough wine left in the bottle so said he would run to the cellar to get more and took ages to come back.Meanwhile a young lady came to serve and wanted to know where he was!The wine was obviously not chilled but although this didnt bother me too much I thought at the time bad management not to stock the fridge for a saturday evening.I ordered 2 steak and cheese baguettes with chips.Meanwhile a family who had been sat waiting nearly an hour were served their meal(little girl had fallen asleep it had been so long coming)The young woman serving them was not even dressed appropriately and I later found out she was not on duty that night and had stepped in.Our meal was brought,we had no condiments,no knife and fork,no serviettes.had to go looking/ask for them.Although the Baguette was lovely and crispy,and the steak beautifully cooked and plentiful.we got approx 10 chips which were half cold.There was only us and two other tables eating,yet they were trying to run this place with 2 behind the bar(1 who hadn't a clue) obviously a chef in the kitchen and a lass who had stepped in on her day off while not on shift.Absolute shambles!The management need to get their act together.Would have been better if they had said no food available due to staff shortage!

Its was absolutely awful. 1 bar person 1 waitress and 1 chef running the whole pub. Table booked for 6.30 got starters at 7.50.. I spoke to the waitress issy who was close to tears. Apparently the managers had gone to babysit another pub. The 3 poor staff left behind were flat out and this was totally unacceptable. The food when arrived was edible but you could see it had just been chucked on plate... how you find running a pub like this acceptable is awful. We were visiting for the weekend as was attending the Cosford Airshow as our son is based at Raf cosford . Our bill was over £100 as there was 6 of us. And I wasn't going to kick up a stink paying as it was clearly not the 3 staffs fault who were clearly making good of a dreadful situation.. They were dealing with loads of complaints on the night.. I would like feedback and a full explanation as to why you think its acceptable to leave 3 youngsters running a very busy pub..

Fantastic food and great beer. Great improvment on 2 years ago. We look forward to going back. Excellent

Understaffed, very tired. Came for a family meal but left as only one serving at peak time. Pub looks tired, dirty and needs attention

Food was good, booze was cheap, what more could you want

Lovely lovely staff. Made a big effort with my brothers birthday x

A very friendly pub ,good selection of drinks.and a nice atmosphere catering for all .

We had a brief stop before going on with a day out. Very spacious, clean establishment. Staff friendly and helpful (even chased us down in the carpark as we forgot a piece of clothing). Food was served hot and well presented.

Friendly and helpful staff. Great new menu, the food was great

Nice staff. Good atmosphere. Unfortunately, food has much room for improvement.

A really lovely meal! Service was excellent and amazing food! The staff were really welcoming, friendly, and very efficient. We were served by vieran who served us in the restaurant, and was always smiley and very helpful., and the food was really good. All in all, a lovely evening

12 of us booked in for Christmas dinner 2021 A dreadful experience. In fact the worst experience ever in any pub or restaurant. Quite frankly nothing was as advertised. Starters had salad with soft cherry tomatoes and brown lettuce. They appeared to have stood for ages . We waited 90 minutes between starter and main courses. We were in there from 1 15 pm for a 1 30 start. And we were last out just before 5 pm! My daughter's partner ordered lamb and was given beef off the " festive menu." The brewery denied this even though the waitress came in saying " duo of beef" The dinners were cold. My husband couldnt eat his at all. No stuffing no cranberry sauce. Yorkshire puddings which were raw in the centre were served on 3 dinners only . Parsnips on 3 dinners only too. We had paid for this as per terms and conditions early December but we were expected to pay the bill again on leaving!! To say they didnt know what they were doing is a sure understatement My little granddaughter ..her meal was fully paid for well beforehand She asked for chips instead weeks before which had been agreed by the Manager . Plus a pudding. The chips and pudding were paid for ..on the day. So they didnt give them as an alternative The pudding never arrived. Poor little soul . So basically her parents paid twice for her Christmas dinner! Part of which never arrived Tea and coffees which were part of the Christmas day menu .. joke!! We were told..order and pay for at the bar!!! Although the waitress came back and said ok. You can order tea and coffee.. And we were also supposed to have chocolates with the coffee. Oh we havent any left .. So basically most of what we ordered.. in SEPTEMBER was not provided. When we discussed this with the manager.. we were told.. " I hold my hands up! I double booked" And that is why there wasn't enough food and they " ran out" . On Christmas day!! Marstons reply was " sorry you were disappointed!! Disappointed is not the issue here They will not take on board that what they offered on their detailed Christmas menu was certainly not what they served up. Never will I enter the Crown again. Almost £600 from us including drinks and our whole Christmas lunch was ruined And its no use Marstons replying saying" Oh we will learn from this !" Its us who have learned! Never go in The Crown again

Food was great, unfortunately wait time for a Tuesday was longer than expected but staff are very friendly and accommodating. 🙂

Better than expected and they handled the arrival of a dozen unbooked customers all at once very well and cheerfully.

Nice venue, good parking and friendly staff

Fantastic menu, great choice, extremely quick. Great prices. Was our first visit, won’t be our last!!!

Great pub xxx enjoyed atmosphere and staff was very helpful

Had Sunday roast. Excellent and freshly hand carved as the waitress described, and first class service. Not expensive either. Gents could be cleaner so 4 out 5.

Brilliant Sunday lunch. Friendly staff.

Have to wait a long time for food and not enough staff to serve barmaids leaving positions from behind bar to serve food there creating bar problems !!!

Fantastic place sham the manager Lee is going,but, hopefully the new boss will be as good.

Just come out from 3 of us having turkey dinners and wished we hadn't bothered. The cranberry and stuffing were missing, the veg were frozen and the gravy was watery. There were only about 4 small chunks of roasts. Very poor value for money. I had my doubts when I saw how empty the place was and that you could choose which Heinz soup you wanted. I would avoid this place and go elsewhere.

Tasty food, friendly staff and good value. Highly recommended the mixed grill, the steak was very tender and perfectly cook. 10/10!

Bom restaurante com cardápio um pouco reduzido e sem muitas opções Não há estacionando fácil por perto Os preços são bastante atrativos e os pratos bem servidos Atendimento bom e relativamente rápido Tem um bom custo benefício Recomendo Fica quiser no centro da cidade

Came in after work with my family and not having had much of a lunch I was particularly hungry…scanned through the menu and came across ‘the mega meals’ section….two 8oz steaks, grilled tomato, peas, onion rings and chips for under £15! Steaks were cooked to...

2 years ago awesome food, today the turkey dinner missing the advertised red cabbage, stuffing and cranberry sauce, 3 dinners ordered and 1 half full small gravy boat between the 3 plates, tea undrinkable, vegan burger drier than Sahara desert, chips edible but not the best, salad more browns than greens..... Not worth the money paid at all......

We went for an early evening meal, it was pretty quiet but was playing a good range of music. We ordered the mega rump steak, the vegan pie and a kids meal. The steaks were cooked perfectly, and the chips are the best I’ve seen...

Just love this place even though I’ve left the village it will always be my favourite pub And will definitely keep going back The Manager-and staff are a Credit to the company

Service was excellent. Pub was clean and great decor. Staff were polite and friendly all very efficient.

I'll start by saying we went last week and it was nice.....but tonight was a complete disaster! We waited over an hour for our starters after being told twice that they were being plated up. When we finally got them they (garlic mushrooms and chicken...

Sorry the takeaway lunch was in edible .Veg either overcooked or undercooked.Sadley nobody seemed to care.That was ashame.Things happen but you don't expect to be told."nobody else complained".Wrong answer.Not good for recommendations in a small community.

Recently visited the crown with family. Food was cooked to perfection. Never had a steak cooked like it. Well done to the chef! Cocktails were well priced. Staff were unbelievably attentive and polite. Great to see in these uncertain times. They were happy and laughing...

Great value for money, good food, very quaffable wine 👍

Came with my mother for a light lunch! Food was amazing and loads of it! Too much to eat! Staff so friendly! Well done Lee and Sammy! X
