Crown Bridgnorth in Shropshire

A life saver for our family group, searching for an early Sunday breakfast and a warm haven after our holiday accommodation had no electricity for 24 hrs. They opened up early for us and served coffee until the chef was ready to provide a great English breakfast.

We chose to try this venue in the centre of Bridgnorth. We had excellent service with an equally excellent meal and offer. Thank you.

We had a great night tonight, Alfie is a great chef the food was delicious. Callum was very helpful and when my husband told him I had a nut allergy he was very thorough and made sure the curry would be ok for me to eat and I really appreciate that. We both felt that he did a great job and was very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be coming back x

what a beautiful pub gemma was looking after us today and what a wonderful lady she is , had a good old chit chat was lovely, food was amazing definitely be going back

Brilliant service from the smiley barmaid Gemma, always really welcoming and efficient! Good selection of drinks and a well priced menu, will return

We both had lasagne with an extra portion of the most gorgeous chips ever! Staff were really busy but we didn't have to wait long. Great choice of beers and a great pit stop when walking around beautiful Bridgnorth

I like it here We came for food after a few drinks around the area. Lovely friendly staff and our food was lovely and good value for money.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and good food what more could you ask for. Would definitely recommend

The best place in Bridgnorth for breakfast , coffee or lunch. As High Town residents Andy and Nick who run The Crown greet us by name and our coffees are being made before we order! Breakfasts are cooked to perfection , the atmosphere is friendly...

Sorry to say my experience was very poor, which is a shame as I used to love this pub. Coffee was awful, food didn't arrive after 45 minutes.

Had a lovely experience at the Crown today! Went for a bite to eat and a few drinks, food was lovely and the beers were refreshing with a lot of choice! Staff were very attentive, will definitely be returning!

Pop in for food and a drink when popping over to see friends great staff and food was fast will differentiate pop in next time I’m over

My wife and I went for lunch on a midweek day this week, On entry from the main road there were dirty plates on most tables that had not been taken away. We ordered the 3 Tapas for £ 12.50 and the Pie and Chips....

Came in for Sunday lunch. Roast beef was tough although stuffed chicken and veggie roast both tasty. Accompanying veg, mash, gravy uninspiring, and seemed pre-prepared / frozen. Staff pleasant and pub very dog friendly.

Had a great time. The staff here are fabulous. Really friendly and helpful. I would recommend this as a great place to visit!

Came for a visit with the three grandkids and daughter and we once again served perfectly by Connor. The kids had chicken dipper which they loved and looked amazing. Can't wait to come back again, the service is always amazing.

Had a wonderful experience at The Crown, had a day out with friends and started the day with a lovely but very filling breakfast, cooked to perfection!! The lovely lady (Paula) that waited the table properly made sure we were looked after. Once we had...

Best brekkie I’ve had in ages. Have to have fried bread with the crown special only thing is I’m that full I will need a sack truck to move me 😋😋😋

Tasty and well presented food. Welcoming staff 100% recommend also Saturday nights are very lively and a good mix of music 👍

A very large chain bar (pool tables, screens et al). Can be super busy. Very quiet this lunch time. Service is 5*. We all had the fish finger sandwiches. The fish fingers were very good quality as was the lettuce. However it was let down...

Lovely breakfast..fried bread mmmmmm Gorgeous coffee Lovely friendly staff Will definitely be back Thank you !x

Popped in to the crown Bridgnorth with a friend for dinner as been a while since last ate here and was not disappointed I had scampi and chips very nicely presented and friend had the 8oz steak which said was very nice also would highly...

We came here for a quick snack and drinks. We ordered nachos which were £5.20 and the smallest portion of nachos I have ever had in a pub, very disappointed. There was also only a handful of chips with a tiny sprinkling of cheese on...

We visited while visiting Bridgnorth as we needed a drink and a snack. There were 3 of us and our dog. Small pub garden out the back. Tables were sticky as was the laminated menu. We weren’t particularly put off by that as it was...

Absolutely fantastic place for food Drink and music ,,had breakfast, dinner and evening meal, over my 5 day holiday ,great drinks selection, fantastic freindly staff

best pub in town for breakfast and drinks staff are amazing so friendly and helpful, gave us lots of information about the town and places to go , we was severed my a lady called gemma

Started to become a regular here the breakfasts are always on point when the chef lee is on. Not bad value for money either

Regularly come to The Crown for drinks and occasionally food. Always receive a warm welcome and never had a bad experience. Would highly recommend.

We entered the pub from the main street and were surprised at it's interior size. We were visitors to the town looking for a brunch, and I have to say that had I read the poor reviews first then we would not have eaten here....

Made online booking for table for 4 for dinner and rugby on Marston's booking line. I then rang pub direct to check I'd been given table near screen to watch match. I called in on the Thursday to check our booking and was told table...

It's not haute cuisine- it's pub food- but we called in for lunch and the food was fine, and good value, the staff were very friendly, and be beer wasn't bad either. Not sure I'd like the pub on a Friday night, but it was...

went for breakfast today 7/2/22 and it was stunning best breakfast iv had in ages all was hot and very good to ring definitely recommend

We were out for abit of shopping and popped into the Crown for the first time. We had a lovely breakfast in very pleasant surroundings and it was warm in there on a very chilly morning. Staff were very welcoming and food and drinks were...

Stood at the bar for 15 minutes. Staff knew who was next but used the age old tactic of asking who was next. Obviously the nearest person obliged. Two inept members of staff for a pub this size, that amazingly still has custom is inadequate. Went somewhere better....... weren't difficult really.

The new menu had us really excited, but such a disappointment.Took over an hour for food to arrive, and we had to sit down and wait for 10mins while our cocktails were made. Appeared to be only two staff working, and after one told us our food order had only just gone up to the kitchen (after nearly an hour of waiting), they left and one guy was left on his own. When we were in there, there were only two other couples eating.Food was ok when it did arrive but nothing special. Cocktail was good when it did arrive. Overall I think it must be poorly managed and I wouldn't attempt to go back, especially when it's busy.

After reading the reviews we were sceptical about this place. For a weekend away we had a drink in every pub in Bridgnorth and The Crown was last on our list. We ended up staying most of the night as there was a live 3 price band playing who were excellent . (Dont know the bands name) The beer was very good and served with a smile from keen bar staff. A very good night was had by us and everyone else in the pub seemed to enjoy the night also.

Fantastic new menu, which was pointed out by management. Well worth a visit for a pint and a great meal.

Out and about car hunting with son no 4 so just looking for a light-bite to cheer us up. There is Pay & Display car parking to the rear and we entered through the nice beer garden which has plenty of seating. It is a huge place with nice décor. 2 of us ordered from the 2 for £7 menu (or £3.99 each). There is a good choice of mains and 3 choices of starters/desserts which can be added for £1 each. Just don't get too excited that you'll be 'stuffed' after. Son #4's face was a picture when his sausage and mash arrived on a kids plate with one ice-cream sized scoop of mash! My fish was just slightly larger than a fish finger but what else can you expect for £3.50? We found it quite amusing really. We had no problem with the service, it was quiet so that may have helped. The toilets are upstairs. Tip: Add the starter and dessert if you are hungry, or order from the 'proper' menu.

If you could give zero stars, I would. We waited 1 hour 15 minutes for our meals that came out ten minutes apart. Every single meal was wrong, the food was overlooked and cold. The manager was unhelpful, rude and offensive. He offered no explanation, refund or to replace our incorrect order. Absolutely disgusted.

couldn't even give this place a 1 bit trip advisor wont let me leave it blank. waited over an hour for food. when food finally arrived my club sandwich was all dried up, daughters burger burnt. management handled it very poorly. no explanation given for the wait and everyone else around me having same experience, some waiting longer. items missing from order. Gave up the will, left inedible food and left. would never ever recommend or go back

It took 1 hour 10minutes to get our food, when it did come, it was cold and the wrong order. At one point there were 9/9 tables without food. They seemed to be short staffed and when we asked for the manager he pushed the blame onto someone else

Do not waste your money. Bridgnorth is full of good eateries and this place is not one of them! Don't bother complaining, no one will take any notice. Food was cold and substandard

A large split level pub. Which was formerly Crown & Raven pubs.Both the men’s & ladies toilets are upstairs.7 ladies toilet, with nice animal pictures painted doors.At least 3 games machines in the pub.Various TV’s dotted around the pub.Lots of partitioned areas to sit down, odd leather seats about.Beer garden with 10 tables & flashy lights & artificial grass area with 5 tables. Car park is £1 per hour.New menu introduced 14 Sept 16.Garlic bread is awful, came out looking liked pie dough, very odd & unappealing.Food came minus condiments, when asked for pepper was brought a big bottle from the kitchen not in little pots like you expect.The background music sends you insane; it basically got louder & worsened as the night went on. It was pointless having the TV on has you couldn’t concentrate on anything you tried to watch.Music badly needs changing to be more relaxing & at a lower volume.How staff cope with that day after day is beyond me.There is a meeting room upstairs.A disabled toilet is downstairs.A pub I wouldn’t re-visit in a hurry.

Me and my partner went for lunch,after forty minutes wait I complained which was met with a very couldn't care less attitude and told we're busy it will be here shortly,after another fifteen minute wait I complained again,same attitude again, it eventually came nearly ten minutes later and with one dish short,the food was horrible and greasy,will never step foot in there again,total rubbish.

Lunch with probably the worst chilli ever, if I were you i would avoid the food, ok for a drink. The food has deteriorated from only a few months ago

I was there a few weeks ago, where my friends had ordered food. They had ordered only side dishes to eat whilst watching the football. When they purchased the food they were told it was only a 20 minute wait, after 40 minutes of waiting they were told it would be another hour. After waiting for an hour and a half they then told them that the food they had ordered wasn't available. It was obvious that they hadn't even looked at what we ordered until an hour after which is shocking! I had ordered a glass of prosecco which came completely flat. The whole place is a joke and I am shocked that they are still running. The owner has really driven the place into the ground which is ashame as it used to be a great place to go to.

Excellent location and extremely old pub full of character and fine selection of beers.Only down side is the food service. Waiting time extreamly long and food can be below what it can be but this is no fault of the staff as the problem is that they are 'UNDER STAFFED'.Bar staff are running around doing both bar, food, and cooking. I actually seen people walk away because the wait for drink alone as the staff were running around doing foodPotential is 5*, 4* because location, character of pub, drinks available and price is competitive.

Went in on spec knowing nothing about it. Lunchtime menu served until 5pm but we discovered cheap prices meant small portions. Items we chose from lunch menu were not available from main menu. Table and floor were dirty but when we pointed it out the young man was quick to clean the table and tried to improve the lighting as we were struggling to read menu. Food was ok but some items were barely warm whilst others were hot! Decided not to stay for pudding. Cheap and fairly cheerful. The tv was loud but we sat well away. Toilets were not great and could have done with checking more regularly- a broken lock amongst the usual problems. The young server was cheerful and helpful, an asset!

My partner and I visited the Crown for a meal on a weekend visit to Bridgenorth. The pub was clean, nice decor and bustling, but by no means rammed. However, the queue at the bar was extensive, clearly people had been waiting for a long time before us. When we ordered food, I was served by a lad who CLEARLY was on his first day, had no idea how to work the tills, or card machine, and when I asked the simple question did they sell crisps he replied with a lacklustre 'I don't think so?' With no effort to find out if any were available! Ordered a coffee which took almost half an hour to arrive and was given no apology for our wait. But, in all fairness to them the food when it arrived was lovely, looked really appealing, well cooked, would recommend the burgers and fish and chips! Would 100% return for the food and atmosphere, but some of the staff seriously need replacing.

A bunch of us met in the crown for drinks, I asked for a vodka lemonade and the manageress, did them separately, when telling her this she became quite aggressive and said well I've done them now. She eventually changed it but made us feel like we had put her out for doing her job. She either needs a lesson in customer service or sacking. Never again!

As a sports viewing pub, not too bad. as to the large red sugary wine dreadful. Undrinkable. Management declined to taste 'Can't drink on duty' [fair enough]. No replacement offer, and deffo no cash return. an hour later, after the match, there was a reluctant offer that we could sample taste from the two reds on offer. Politely [I hope] declined.And the bar was badly understaffed at a quiet time of day.

Had fond memories of this pub. Went on a Saturday. Poor food, poor service, long wait, inexperienced staff. One woman running around like a headless chicken trying to please all the unhappy customers.

We were looking for a nice pub in Bridgnorth for a decent lunch, as my wife's employers had offered to pick up the tab for her recent long hours. With that in mind, we wanted somewhere pleasant and ventured into the Crown, which is conveniently situated on the High Street.Like most pubs in Bridgnorth, it is a lot larger inside than its looks from the outside and is full of character. It is a light airy environment in there and there is lots of space between tables, so you don't feel hemmed in.The food is very reasonably priced and there is a good selection to suit most tastes, including vegetarian. Contrary to other reviews, we found the staff extremely friendly and helpful, with nothing too much trouble for them. The food itself was well cooked, well presented and with generous portions, so zero complaints there either.Great fayre at reasonable prices, friendly staff and a pleasant clean environment certainly ticked all the boxes for us. The real 'acid test' of a food review is "would we go back there again?" The answer to that is a very big yes.. :-)

Popped in to try the new menu, the wait was quite long and we weren't informed of it at any point. Happy to wait though as it was a Saturday lunch time, our food kept getting mixed up with another tables resulting in one of our burgers being quite cold and with the wrong bun on it which had gone soggy by the time we received it. Food was quite pleasant and the chicken wings were lovely.

Right in the centre of town with a lovely out door beer garden which is great when u have dogs. Limited menu but burgers are great but well done, but still retains the sweetness and juicy beef burgers.Nice selection if limited of real ales but well kept. Well recommend if in Bridgenorth :)

Just been to the crown for a meal the only thing I can say is amazing food with great staff it was brilliant and the manager a.m was fantastic ready made us feel welcome and like her own family this was my first time at crown we will differently be back keep up the great work and will hopefully see you again soon

Place is fine. Perfect pub grub. Have had problems in the past but they have sorted it out once Iv spoken to them about it. Decent prices. Very mediocre but the price reflects that :)

Popped in for a drink but wish we'd stayed put in the rain! The tables were filthy and covered in dirty glasses and the bar staff couldn't even get a latte right after three goes! If in Bridgnorth go anywhere but here!

Wasn't busy but for some reason we had to wait 40 minutes just for 2 coffees. Complained twice and on the third time when we went to get our money back before leaving the coffee arrived which wasn't worth the wait - not nice, too weak.I'm local and thought after the new revamp of the pub would try it out but sadly I will definitely not be going back.

Attended the pub for a spot of lunch and ordered three meals and drinks coming in about £27, when ordering the meals I confirmed twice with Alan that we wanted the sweet potato fries upgrade with both meals. When the meals came out only one had the sweet potato fries so I spoke to the waiter who took the meal after I explained we'd clarified with Alan about the fries. Waiter returned and told us the order didn't have the upgrade and we'd have to pay the extra 75p.Honestly I didn't care about the money but despite their mistake it seems like they do and asked if we wanted the upgrade. Wow.Two of the three finished the meal and despite the third still eating the waiter (nice guy to be fair) came and started clearing our table of plates.They weren't busy but felt strongly like they wanted the table.Pettiness over 75p fries and the feeling they wanted us to leave ruined the meal.The only positive was a lovely staff lady who brought out a bowl of water for our hot pet dog. Thank youAs I said, disappointed verging on annoyed

We really enjoyed our first visit. The staff were attentive and our food was excellent. I can recommend the Fish & Chips off the main menu. We will certainly come again soon.

Visited on Sunday... Staff were friendly and efficient and a very short wait for food which I would expect for freshly cooked orders, didn't appear to be understaffed so if they were as other reviews state then they coped extremely well as we certainly didn't notice. Service was great, made to feel welcome the food was extremely good and prices very reasonable. Would definitely recommend and will be returning soon :)

Visited on Saturday.extremely busy but great atmosphere. I was with my husband and mother in law who was in a wheelchair and a lady came over and asked us if she could help,this was the manager.She sorted a table for us by disabled toilets and even took our order at the table to save us going to the bar.....food was lovely,great value,service excellent,said manager would not accept tip as said she was happy to help.....looking forward to Saturday for our next visit.

Wow to refurb the place if bright and fresh. Great service very friendly and welcoming staff. Good selection of largers,ales,and spirits really nice food not a great selection but food was well presented and hot would definitely visit again and bring our family.

Arrived at the pub 12.30 not many people in who were ordering food, then told 40min wait on food, which we said was fine. 1hour and a half later, 4 trips to the staff asking for an update to be told your food is 10mins, its being plated and still waiting. On arrival of half of food order chips were warm and looked over cooked, straggly bits of bacon and under cooked hash browns. Back to the counter to ask where steak and gammon were to be told not sure, another 20min wait and again inedible. Staff seemed embarassed by what was served and i had to ask for a refund for the poor service. Big changes needed before we head back there, completely disapppointed as used to be regulars when previous owners were in post. One positive was the decor as it has been updated in parts and looks very modern and clean.

I went into the Crown recently for a bite of lunch. The first thing that struck me was the new decor, and with it new bar areas, all of which were staffed. This means you can get a coffee or lunch, or a drink served really quickly. Then I found there was a new exciting menu, with plenty of options for different diets. We are a family that are difficult to cater for, as I only eat veg and fish, where as the rest of the family love their burgers and meat. I am happy to say there was something to suit everyone. The staff were really helpful discussing some of the menu choices, and service was really quick and polite. I have never been made to feel more welcome. After I noticed the new champagne bar, my husband and I decided to come back for an evening out. What a brilliant evening we had. The new manager AM and all her staff made sure we had a fabulous time. We even tried some of the cocktails, which were reasonably priced. I will definitely be visiting again.

First time in since the refurb. Place looks nice, but the staff (one guy in particular) are not very efficient or capable. There was a long wait at the bar and we ordered our food and our server then passed us to someone else (guy i mentioned above) to complete order as she had to do something. A few minutes later he comes over to confirm something on the order (no salad on one). We were then given a box with sauces etc but only one set of cutlery. He then brings us the food 10 minutes later..both with salad. He didn't seem to bothered when we mentioned it and nearly took wrong one back. He did fix it albeit just scraping stuff off. The food wasn't worth the money either. 3 mini burgers with different toppings with fries for £8.99. The food arrived in these cheap looking baskets. Overall, the place looks better and it does now have a wider selection of ales but the service and food let it down.

Beautiful pub in a beautiful place but under poor management 1 hour 20 for burger and chips!!!! Come ooonnnnn Not even busy I expect better from a Marston's pub

Visited the Restaurant/Bar on a lovely afternoon. The afternoon soon turned bad as we he to wait almost an hour for food. Once we had got the food, most of the things were undercooked and had to be sent back. The eggs and hash browns were both undercooked. The staff did very little when we asked them to help out with our problem. Once the problem was solved, the food tastes very cheap and there hasn't been any effort put into at all.

Our first impression was a spacious airy pub, we had to queue for service as only one person serving although a few others were floating about. The food took a while to arrive and by the time staff returned with cutlery our food had cooled, luckily we started eating sides with our fingers.Also £2.45 for a cola? Really????We would not recommend this pub.

We visited Bridgnorth last Saturday 23.07.16 a lovely place and decided to eat at the Crown Inn. If I have any advice for this public house it would be to make sure when serving food that the Knives and forks etc where brought to the table before the food as we had to ask numerous times for these once our meal had come, hence it was cold when eventually one of our party got up and fetched it instead of waiting for the young lad to bring them. Meal wise not exceptional.

shocking service!!!! asked for ice get an eye roll off the bar man! said refurb looks great, he wasn't bothered about my feedback. SHOCKING

We called in for lunch on a warm Saturday and found a table in the rear garden.we ordered sandwiches and a cocktail for the wife.unfortunatly the one we wanted was not available but the owner offered us a more expensive one for the same price.she chose well,it was very nice.the sandwiches were excellent and the service was good.

We were looking for somewhere that was showing the England Rugby match that kicked off at 11am. After trying at least 5 other pubs we arrived at the Crown which was complete with Big Screen and numerous TVs around the pub. We did not eat there but I did see the LARGE breakfast been served at the table next to us, immense.The landlady remembered our round and also spotted when we were in need of a drink, great service.

My husband and I were in Bridgnorth for about a week in May. One afternoon my husband felt like having a cheeseburger, so we went to The Crown Inn. We were in England for over 2 weeks and this was the worse meal we had anywhere. I thought I was ordering shrimp, but instead it was fried shrimp on top of a hamburger. The meat was virtually inedible on both our burgers.

Popped in for quick pint on a day out to Bridgnorth market , Nice big pub , polite staff and the ,meals looked good , and reasonably priced , Sat outside in beer garden , Steps upto the bar , so how do people wiv wheelchairs get on ? toilets are upstairs , again not ideal for disabled and people with walking difficulties .

On arrival there appeared to be less than half a pub full of visitors, many of whom were already eating so I was bemused when staff informed me that there would be a 45 minute wait for food. I'd supplied my table number (which was on the corner if the table) but was told the number would be on the menu holder. There was no menu holder, I'd already had to source menus from other tables. Despite this I was told I'd need to go and find the number on the non existent menu holder. I explained a second time that the number was on the table and was finally able to order. I asked if I could have two portions of veg with the kids meal and was told I'd be charged- with a 45 minute wait and a hungry 5 year old in tow I thought this unreasonable as the kids portions are small enough to allow a little extra given the cost. Besides, as I've worked most of my adult life in catering serving the public I'd have been more than happy to accommodate. Thankfully, the shift manager came to assist and offered to help me carry our drinks back to the table. She obviously had far better people skills and seemed to know what she was doing, let's hope she continues to bring a positive influence as the waiting staff also left a lot to be desired. Tables need to be cleared promptly and condiment trays ought to be checked to ensure they have all the things required before they are left with customers.

Were to start. We came in to the crown to a great welcome from staff. We had the lunch time menu witch was £4.49. I had the NY BBQ melt and it was only £1 to add a dessert. Amazing. The lovely woman that served use. Witch we believe to be the new manager was lovely and nothing way a problem . What the place needs after last experience 1 year ago. Really busy and bubbly place plece. Can't wait to come back. Well done to the new manager. We will be back

Myself and I popped in for a bit of lunch after being dragged round shops. We went for the lunch time deal. I'm not one to write reviews but our food came super fast and was lovely. We were asked if our food was okay and would we Kindly write a review if the food was okay, normally I wouldn't, but then I read the reviews, I found nothing wrong with my service.. Dont judge a book by its cover

Visited Bridge North,for a day out,I have to say it's a wonderful town.But if your hungry,do not eat in this pub,it's vile.We ordered our food,a steak sandwich and a burger,the sandwich was ok.The burger was one a burnt sesame bun,it was meant to have bacon and Chorizo,the Chorizo was 2 cm cut in half,the burger was dry and bacon like plastic and a horrible sausage,served in a plastic basket,that looked like an up turned washing basket lid.Before leaving,we went to the loo,Wow what an experience,the carpet upstairs outside the gents is sticky and worn out,the stench is worse than a pig farm,the floor is covered in pee stains.The ladies were filthy,there is poo sprayed up the back of the loo's and a used pregnancy test kit on the sanitary bin,This is the worst pub/dining experience we have ever known

Have visited this pub on many occasions before and had no problems. Having said that, went there on 7th May, found that it was under new management. We have a dog so we sat outside.I went to the bar to order our food and to my horror there was a long queue, only two bar staff on, eventually after a 20 min wait in the queue got to be served to find there was a 45min wait for food well I decided to wait. The food came but very disappointed with it, not so much choice as there use to be. I think we will give this a miss next time. I was talking to family who had just arrived as we were leaving, they were told there was an hour and half wait, there was hardly anyone in the pub.

This is the second time we have visited this pub and had our money back. The pub is half empty and we were told there was a 45 minute wait for food. In addition it was cash only as the card machines weren't working. We waited a little over 45 mins to be given stone cold food again. When we sent the food back we were advised that the meals would have to be cooked again. Having done this last time and still been served cold food, we asked for a refund which we were given, other tables were having the same problems. If there is a staff problem surely it would better not to offer food than end up with unhappy customers who will not return?

Me and my wife popped in for lunch we werent from the area and the crown looked ideal. We were greeted by a lovely young man named Tom I believe who kindly advised us there was a wait on food, we werent in no rush so agreed to wait. Tom kept popping over and it was a surpise to hear he has only been there for 2 days, he was lovely and kept us updated. When the food did come it was worth the wait. If were local we would definately pop in again.

Sun was shining so decided to have drink and something to eat, had the dog with us so thought the large well equipped beer garden would be perfect. So ordered some drinks then went to place meal order, unfortunately the kitchen was closed to unforeseen circumstances. So had to go elsewhere.Let's hope it will be back to normal service in the kitchen soon.

My partner, children, and myself popped in for some lunch today at about 13.30. after glancing at the menu we decided what we wanted and went to order at the bar. We were shocked to see only two members of staff running around trying.to tend the bar, take food orders and deliver food to tables already seated. My partner had been at the bar for around 15 mins before our order was taken. We were advised there would be a 20 minute wait for the food which we did not mind. After waiting for 30 minutes we were greeted by one of the two members of staff to be told there would be a further wait. ( There were only 7 people in the entire building ! )Anyway, we waited a further 20 mins and were finally served our ( late ) lunch. The waiter was very apologetic and offered us a free round of drinks, we went back to the bar to order said drinks and to place our desert order only to be told the kitchen would be closing immediately and we would not be able to order any deserts. We paid our bill in full and left rather disappointed.

Was very hesitant after reading some of the reviews and I have to say it must be the change of manager as this pub isn't how people have described!!! I went with my 11yr old and she was made to feel very welcome, our food was lovely and we were really glad we stumbled upon it. We've been told it's being done up soon too so we will be back next time we are in the area. The manager was really cheerful and sweet and it was nice for staff to address my daughter directly rather than talk over her head.Would highly recommend!

Honest pub food - sensibly priced. Loved the live music and the family atmosphere. Dogs allowed. We will be back.

After walking around the town, we decided to stop at the crown for lunch.The pub is quite large inside and there are plenty of tables to choose from. We ordered food and drink, pint of marstons smooth (served in a old fashioned pint glass) which is a plus, latte and a Coke, food was fish and chips, gammon and chips, Philadelphia deli sandwich all for just over £26.Food was ok for lunch, nothing special but was just what you needed to fill the gap, and was cooked and presented well.Staff couldn't have been more welcoming and friendly they made sure we had everything we needed.

We ordered three meals at lunchtime this Tuesday they took 50 mins to arrive I foolishly thought that waiting so long it would be a bit special when it arrived...lol ...no....fish overdone, peas cold, gammon so tough it was inedible and a rock hard egg, I went to the bar and complained and was told that they had run out of the one meal I had ordered so she had to go and buy some !!.... why didn't they ask if we would like something different why we would want to wait 50 mins for three mini burgers is a complete mysteryMaking people wait too long for poor food is what this place is famous for don't waste time go elsewhere

I visited the crown a month or so ago and I have to say I was in 2nd thoughts to retry this pub. Previously the pub was run down and uncared for and the food was inedible, with rude staff. What a difference a new manager can make. She was extremely attentive to our needs the food was lovely and served in a well kept pub. She is just what this place needs. Well done to the hiring manager and well done to the new manager( unaware of her name). We will be back with friends and family next time

Always pop to the crown for lunchtime coffee , we only have half hour lunch so a quick cuppa is all we need, this week noticed new menu, an also there seemed a little bit more buz around the place . As if spring had hit the place , lovely atmosphere will be heading there again tomorrow this time ...day off so lunch will be in order .

Went in for lunch. There were only three of us eating but it still took 30 min to arrive. I had ordered 'Philadelphia' - rare steak strips on brown bread with cheese and salad. Steak was over cooked and so cold the remaining fat had congealed. The bread had come straight from the 'fridge. Inedible! The Barman suggested that he may be able to get a sandwich but if a Chef can do this to a simple meal then I didn't want to find out what an annoyed Chef could do.

I don't think I have ever been to a pub that employees staff like this one !Very rude , messy and stinking attitudes . Waited over 1hour for food even though there was only one other family eating at the time , when I asked the waitress on two occasions she just replied "there's a wait " with a attitude and shrugged her shoulders and walked off . When I finally went to the till to ask for a refund I got a half hearted "sorry" , I happen to get a look in the kitchen as he was sorting out my refund from the bar area and my god am I glad that food never arrived the level of cleanliness was stomach turning . Messaged there Facebook page later that day with a hope that maybe the owner or higher management would get back in touch after such a bad experience , the messages where read but never replied to .

went for food valentines day.No food. One bitter on. Went to the loo, it is all disgusting, wants closing down, and starting again. Does Bridgnorth no favours at all.

This pub is terrible ,food is cheap warmed up ready meals,no one replays to complaints ,service is shocking ,beware !!!!!!!!!

3 of us waited an hour and a half for wraps. Staff not bothered. Didn't even get a sorry for your delay. Whilst we were there one family got up and walked out as they were sick of waiting and another couple sent all their food back and left. Food is horrible. Tasteless and greasy. The place is in a good spot but the inside is vile. We were sat under a rotting ceiling. Walls are filthy. Toilets horrible. Don't go here.

Went to the Crown whilst on a weekend away with my wife. The pub is pleasant enough and the menu is good if you want a reasonably priced meal. The food is typical pub food and as will the majority of pubs who do food, it is frozen and cooked to order.The Crown has a large interior and can cater for many, however, it is not A La Carte but is good for a cheap filler and a couple of pints

After a horrid walk around the centre of town with the weather. We opted to dive in to a local pub on the high street.We get to the bar and its quiet busy but there was only one person serving. So we waited, we were told that there might be a delay on the food of up to 30 mins. But we still proceeded to order. The food arrived in 11 mins. I timed it on my phone. The food was tasty and hot and exactly what I paid for. The staff seemed understaffed but friendly. The only downfall is the pub looks tired.

The Crown Inn is situated in the lovely town of Bridgenorth and looks very nice and inviting from the outside. Once inside the pub is large and has some lovely character features. I've visited this pub three times recently and every time the tables have been dirty and sticky, the carpets clearly haven't been hoovered in some time and the whole place is dirty and very dusty. The toilets are situated upstairs and could do with a dam good clean as they were in a dirty state. Every time I have visited this pub It's not been very busy but you have to wait in a quee to be served and they are always under staffed when you ask why the delay to order a drink! I was told when I ordered food that it would be 30 minutes, after 40 minutes the food hadn't arrived so I queed at the bar and asked what the delay was only to be told that they are very busy (they weren't) and the food would be another 40 minutes!! I asked for a refund and to cancel my order and had to wait a further 10 minutes only for a Manager to ask what was wrong with the food to which I replied 'I don't know, It never came after 40 minutes and I've now been told it will be another 40 minutes' I was given a full refund for the food order. A couple sitting next to be had complained about the taste of a hot chocolate drink and also had a refund for food that didn't turn up. They apparently had been waiting over 1 hour for two mains!! This happened the last time I visited but the same problems when ordering food and the huge wait was present on bothy previous visits. It's a shame as the place is very nice and just needs managing correctly, if they don't have enough staff and they are not ready for business then they shouldn't be opening the doors to customers. The staff haven't got a clue what is going on. I came out went across the road to another pub and ordered the same food which arrived 6 minutes later! Yes 6 minutes! It's a real shame as this could be a good place to drink/eat if managed propley. DO NOT ORDER FOOD HERE UNLESS YOU HAVE AN HOUR TO SPARE WAITING IN A DIRTY PUB. I'm sorry to say that the Manager or acting Manager is responsible for the level of service at this pub and he/she should be removed.

The negative aspect about this restaurant was that it took an hour for our meals to arrive. We were pre-warned though when ordering and didn't have anywhere else to be, so we didn't mind the wait. (It gave us more time to have a few beverages!) The meals and drinks were reasonably priced and the place had a lovely relaxing atmosphere. Our meals were delicious and we all left feeling very full.
