Crown Hotel Bar and Grill in Cheshire East

Fantastic food , lovely staff not bad prices either

Open fire, good beers and great food. Hotel prices though. Went back for Sunday lunch and really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere

We stayed while working at the Nantwich food festival The bed was as old as the hotel squeaky could feel springs worse night sleep ever We stay in 200 hotels a year with work this was so bad …reported to staff they shrugged shoulders if this was on 4 in a bed the payment would be 0 staff rude unhelpful … Barking dogs in rooms, kids screaming at 6 am shocking !!

This was a lunch for 17 people. We had, understandably, been asked to pre order . On arrival we were seated, room made for the wheelchair user and orders taken for drinks, which arrived very quickly. All 17 meals arrived at the same time, all very nicely presented, hot and very tasty. dishes quickly removed and desserts served. Whilst finishing desserts our coffee orders were taken. The staff were excellent, in fact we never noticed they were there, which was perfect. I really can't find fault, especially when there were so many of us eating from all over the menu. The kitchen must be very well organised. The price of the food, considering the quality and portion size, was I thought very reasonable, in fact cheaper than the pub down the road which is very basic. it's the first time I've eaten there, in fact it wasn't first choice but that restaurant didn't want 17 covers on a Friday lunch time, their loss, and I'll certainly be back to the Crown.

Superb Sunday lunch. Plenty of everything, variety of vegetables and excellently cooked roast beef. Asked for extra gravy, not a problem, staff helpful, polite and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Delicious main and dessert, friendly and prompt service, nice atmosphere. We ordered a pie, king prawn linguine, creme brulee and tiramisu. Lovely gin and Malbec too!

The food was very good, as usual. However, when discussing an issue concerning the Wednesday wine offer, dealing with customers in an appropriate way did not appear to be a skill that had been acquired by the individual serving us! It was quite unpleasant and put a damper on the evening.

Lovely old pub,lots of character and history,staff were lovely and very helpful

Food used to be good. Terrible service though, better off going to the rookery hotel as much better service, food there and classy surroundings.

Looked after well but room not cleaned

Very central Beautiful old 1400s building very quaint nothing is straight, food is delicious but it ain't your usual run of the mill eating place very 👍

Nice oldy worldy place. Busy with a good atmosphere

Lovely place and food, staff are really nice, and polite too..

A meal in the Grill Bar only, we didn't stay over here. Easy to book a table, friendly and welcoming service and a comfortable place to be. The food is as it should be for a traditional hotel, not exciting, but prepared and plated to a good standard. It's our second visit, and we'll definitely return. A bonus to visit on 'Wine Wednesday' where refills for your initial large house wine are free for 2 hours!

Lovely pub in the centre of Nantwich. Late 16th century and a must visit for history lovers. The existing establishment was built on the site of an earlier inn that was destroyed in the Great Fire of Nantwich of 1583. It was very visit when we visited (a Friday night) but service was swift. We didn't try the food, but we will be back at some point to try it.

One of the very best! Warm, friendly staff, good food, great beer and a lovely setting. Love it!

I stayed 5 nights at the Crown Hotel for work. It is located in the city centre, close to all the shops, restaurants, pubs and train station. The room was comfortable and spacious enough for one person. The staff was very friendly, always greeted me with a smile, and in one instance they allowed me to leave my unfinished take out food in their fridge and offered to heat it up and take it up to my room the next day. I would recommend this historic hotel to anyone passing through Nantwich.

I can't talk much, I just went to dinner, but the stairs upstairs make you dizzy.

We stopped in for four hot chocolates! Gorgeous decor, lovely staff, fabulous atmosphere, lovely clean, well equipped toilets. Highly recommend a stop here.

Great quirky old hotel with friendly staff & manager. Stayed here on 3 occasions now, all the staff are a credit to the hotel. All personable and make the effort. We'll done and thanks

Food in here is incredible. We went just over a year ago and couldn't not return with friends to experience the beauty of this restaurant. I had the Chorizo and tomato penne with chips. One of my favourite meals to make at home and it was incredible here. Staff were wonderful and friendly, no ask was too much trouble 😊 Thankyou for a memorable meal ❤️

Booking . Com rooms are low standard. Shower abysmal

We have only ever been in for food and drinks, on every occasion the food has been lovely and the drinks very nice hot or cold. The atmosphere is always good when we have visited, but the people in Nantwich are very warm and welcoming.

Had a lovely meal. A retirement party. Private room. Perfect.

We have hosted two events at The Crown, one in Autumn last year for a 60th and one today which was a Funeral Afterparty, and both times the facilities and service has been exceptional, everything from the buffet to the historic decor. This is the first time we have stayed in one of the rooms here, and despite the slight inconvenience of the warped floors and stairs, the building maintains a fantastic character and charm, which is what you expect when booking a room in a centuries old building. I personally love the look of the Tudor style, however I understand how it may be an acquired taste. The room I stayed in personally looked ascetically pleasing, however there was a high concentration of dust. Things like this don’t really bother me and I still enjoyed my stay overall, but it did require an improvement on the cleanliness on the dust side of things, and I didn’t have any plug sockets by my bed which was a small inconvenience. Lovely views and a really comfy, clean bed. Great place which Nantwich is lucky to have, however does have a few areas of improvement.

We did not stay at the Crown Hotel, we just called in for morning coffee then again later for cold drinks. Always enjoy the atmosphere and the service from the staff and clients.

I went to a party there. The food was good, the beer was a bit pricey and mostly lagers. It was okay, needs some real ale choices to win me over.

Lovely historic hotel. Beautifully refurbished bedrooms. Great place for a meeting, party or wedding.

Warm, cosy friendly environment, eveing drinks with friends.

Cosy 16th century Inn. Full of character. Lovely lamb shank with a red wine gravey. Good selection of cask ales.

Breakfast service not good we had to ask for everything sugar,sauce milk, hot water toast, marmalade,The butter was a portion up block cut up by hand then wrapped in grease proof paper not very hygienic. The hotel and our room was loverly.A brand new bathroom with a walk in shower.beding nice an white bed very comfortable. Could do with a bigger T V.

Really old pub in Nantwich, reasonable selection of beers both draught and craft. Paid what you would expect for the beers. I didn't try any food so sorry I cannot comment on that.

We visited at the weekend and really enjoyed our meal! Lovely food and great service. Great atmosphere and would highly recommend.

A group of six ate at the Crown Grill, the food was delicious and a good size portion. Not too expensive will definitely be going back. The service was also exceptional

Visited with two girlfriends. From the moment we arrived until we left we found we were looked after so well. Greeted warmly, seated quickly and drinks ordered and received whilst we browsed the menu.The staff were young and really warm and welcoming, even took a fab photo of us having fun! The food was excellent, we shared a fantastic olive and feta flatbread which was freshly prepared and delicious. We all had sea bass main course which was beautifully presented and cooked to perfection.Only one pud but the cheesecake was a decent portion and also yummy.Cannot fault this place. I find it consistently good and staff make the experience even better.Highly recommend, so much so that I’m eating here again on Sunday!

Had supper in the Crown on Sunday night. Food was great and the service excellent- always feel well looked after and covid safe in there as their attention to detail is excellent.Had a gammon steak which was delicious while my wife had the skewers which she loved.Would recommend to anyone.

We decided on the Crown to have a celebration lunch for my sister & husband. It is halfway between our homes. I was aware 2 hours was ‘allowed’ for your residency. The booking was 1.30 , & we were seated but it took 15 minutes for someone to take the order & only then because we flagged someone down. A further 25 minutes before the food arrived & again I had to ask where it was. So now it is 40 minutes into our 2 hours & we haven’t eaten anything. We are not exacting in our demands but the food was poor. Our skewers were served with pitta & fries but no salad ( except a small portion of coleslaw) & my brother in laws pie had no gravy or sauce so was very dry. We paid extra for some veg for him. All of us had only one course & coffee but needed all of the 1 hour 20 minutes to achieve this. What if we had wanted 3 courses.. I wouldn’t even bother with advising of all this but we were unceremoniously reminded that we should move on by a restaurant manager. I was conscious that this was a celebration & my treat so I limited my observations to pointing out how late our food had arrived. She was wholly unapologetic , instructing me it seemed that we were lucky to benefit from 2 hours when other local establishments only offered 1.5 hrs. My brother in law commented that I was very restrained. We made all necessary allowances for the fact that things had not long opened up indoors ( may 22nd) but the experience was still very very poor.

This is a lovely friendly place to have a beer and or food. We watched the Champions league final here, TV is on but not allowed to dominate the atmosphere. The locals are very friendly, the staff can't do enough for you. The manager and bar staff are about as good as you get. (And I travel throughout the UK a lot).Top marks from the three auld codgers, don't change anything.Ps. They keep great ales, and the burgers are excellent.

Beautiful food and service as always. The starters were fantastic. I had the mushrooms which were amazing. I Wish the lasagna was still on the menu. It was hands down the best Lasagna we’ve ever had. Still had a lovely tho. Would highly recommend.

We went for a nice meal and drinks. Table service was brill, food was insane 😋 and the atmosphere was lovely! Had a pasta dish, just enough for me! Had the prawn skewers last time and they were gorgeous!

We visited The Crown earlier this week with some of our friends and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious and well prepared as always, they hadn’t been before but loved it. We’ll be back soon!

Visit here with a group of friends for drinks, found the booking website easy to use and booked for drinks only, staff were lovely and friendly and service was great! First visit here and it won’t be the last

Really lovely service - thank you! As myself and my little boy are dairy free we often struggle with food choices. I was very grateful for how adaptable both the staff and menu were. Our food was great and drinks were kept flowing for the duration of our time at the Crown. The venue was very Covid secure with frequent cleaning, hand gel stations, one way system through the restaurant and table service for drinks in the bar. Due to the older style of the crown there was no baby changing facilities but staff made sure I had a private room to change baby in. We were provided with a highchair and a larger table to ensure we had plenty of space to move around. We will definitely be back again soon!!!

It was lovely to be back and to find that nothing has changed. The food was as good as ever. Robbie was welcoming and he managed the Covid restrictions without any fuss.We find the food at The Crown the most consistent in Nantwich, which is why we go so often!

Love the food here - always have the Crown Steaj and Ale pie and only disappointment is the red cabbage not available but still enjoyed the meal. Service very good too staff always friendly and felt very safe with all the Covid protocols in place - great to be able to get back here - would definitely recommend to anyone

Excellent beer, wine, food and service as always. You can't beat a visit to the Crown. The Sea Bass was great and we also had a burger.

We had a great meal, the service was good, a busy Saturday night, the Covid rules were followed with Perspex screens in some areas as required

Had our first “date night” in nearly two years last weekend at the Crown. Staff were lovely and polite and very helpful. Meal was amazing. Couldn’t fault it. Lovely atmosphere and it felt normal almost. Can’t wait to go back again.

Really nice atmosphere, all the staff were friendly, food was lovely. Only moved to the area earlier in the year and this was our first meal out as the family could now come and visit, it was a great choice that everyone enjoyed.

I was our fist visit to the Crown and I want to say it was fabulous. The service and the food was delicious and hot and there was a professional choir on who were wonderful, my mother who has Alzheimer's really enjoyed it and was singing along. Just want to give a bit shout out to Abigail and Lorraine who were so professional and accommodating they could not do enough for us, We will definitely be returning

We had a family Sunday lunch (kids aged 9 & 12). Really well set up to be COVID secure. It was full table service, and although busy, we were looked after well. Great Sunday roast and the kids had amazing burgers. Puddings were great too. We will definitely be back!

Great to be back in the grill tonight! Never disappoints. Spot on in terms of covid measures. Screens up, regular cleaning, plenty of sanitising stations etc. Tasty food, beautiful wine, lovely atmosphere.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception meal at The Crown and cannot thank everyone enough for helping to make our wedding day absolutely perfect in every way. All the staff are so professional and the meal was excellent. Ourselves and some guests stayed in the hotel and the rooms were extremely clean and had everything you would expect.

Have been here a few times over the last year, as we chose this for our wedding venue. There has always been a warm welcome and friendly, cosy ambience. Due to Covid we sadly had to postpone our wedding, but were able to just make it by the skin of our teeth on 10th October. We can quite honestly say the service and attention to detail was perfect. Lorraine is a breath of fresh air and such fun and she worked very closely with our wedding planner to give us an absolutely perfect day for a wedding party of 15. The food was delicious, definitely no question about that. The portion sizes were generous (not so good when you have a bridal corset on) and our room was very clean and comfortable. Our wedding menu was mushroom soup with pickled wild mushrooms, the roast sirloin of beef with all the trimmings, followed by a cheeseboard (the hunks of cheese were huge - fabulous when you love cheese as much as us). A brilliant place to just go and sit and have a drink and/or a snack - but makes the most wonderful and beautiful wedding venue. We had a fairytale day and will be back as soon as we can.

Delicious food, friendly staff & Covid secure! A restaurant that knows what they are doing from the moment you walk in! they take your details for track and trace, lead you to the hand sanitizer then take you to your table which is thoughtfully set out to social distance but yet you can still feel the ambiance of the restaurant.

Just had a meal in The Crown, as we did last week - once again did not disappoint! Felt safe and comfortable in this crazy world we're living in at the moment! Was shown to our table by 'Abbey' who greeted us at the door with a smile and explained the format of the one way system. The food as always did not disappoint, although 'no lamb shank' on our first visit as they'd run out!! but 'anything' off the menu is cooked to perfection! This week however lamb shank back on the menu and 3 out of our party of 4 went with that and never disappoints! Such a pleasure to eat at the Crown, staff are attentive & nothing is too much trouble! Thanks for all the hard work you all put in for making our night out a pleasure! - See you all again soon.

Came here for lunch with my partner and his Mum. Really impressed. Had pre booked by phone. All appropriate measures in place. Food was excellent. Good quality and hot. Very well prepared and presented. Wait staff really good. Friendly and attentive. Thank you.

Another wonderful meal at the Crown Bar and Grill in Nantwich, lovely food, great service and lovely atmosphere. A wonderful choice to celebrate a special anniversary. Will be back very soon. Thank you.

Went for a evening out with my husband. We picked The Crown because of reviews, we must of choose the wrong day. Staff seemed friendly enough and served with a smile. The food was terrible. Had gammon which was basically salt on a plate, the chips took five minutes each to chew, the eggs came with a slime film on top. My husband had steak and ale pie and if it wasn't for the jug of gravy would of been bone dry. We didn't finish either meals. Like I say it could of been a bad night to go but we will not be going again.

We ended up at The Crown Hotel after another restaurant let us down.They did us a favour as The Crown was brilliant. Place itself is nice, staff are nice and the food was excellent. To top it off we happened to visit on Wednesday evening and they had an offer on where you could buy a £6 glass of house wine and have that unlimited topped up for free (I expect there must be a "fair use" policy but we certainly enjoyed ample wine with our dinner, without question) Will be going back and recommend.

The ballroom for the New Year’s Eve gala dinner was laid out lovely, with great decorations. What was disappointing was the service of the food and some aspects of food quality. For £75, per person, I expected to go outside to serve myself the cheese course, but to also have to go outside to serve yourself coffee as well, I found rather surprising. In addition the garlic prawns for the starter were served on bread, which was so hard, it was like a biscuit and the variety of cheeses for the cheese course were small. The main course was good and hot, but the baileys dessert had no taste of baileys at all. The music was good, from the DJ and band. However the value for the price paid did not meet our expectations. Overall pretty average, which was a shame, as we were expecting better from our first visit to the Crown for NYE.

We had the most lovely evening on Sunday. We enjoyed an excellent meal at The Crown, presentation, flavour and service faultless. The staff were excellent, nothing was too much trouble and made us feel most welcome. They were pleasant polite and efficient. We did not have to wait for a thing and everything we requested we got with a friendly approach. The atmosphere and indeed the building leant itself to Christmas. A big thank you from all five of us for helping to make our evening most enjoyable.Compliments to the chef at the most busiest time of the year!We wish you all a very Happy Christmas!We will be back soonAgain, THANK YOU

Bought my my daughter for our anniversary dinner and overnight stay.Dinner was good when it finally arrived after second bottle of wine ordered and several requests as to where our meal was as people who arrived after us were being served their food whilst ours hadn't arrived.If staying here be aware it's a very old building and whilst selflessly clean stairs to rooms uneven might be a problem if mobility is not great

They could not be bothered to serve us bar meals as restaurant was far too busy and we had to wait for service to be told this!

We made a reservation for a Christmas meal. We had a nice table, the turkey option was excellent as was the tomato and red pepper soup to start. I finished off the meal with lemon roulade and by that time I was pretty full, so we took our mince pies home. Despite being busy the waitresses were all pleasant, efficient , nothing was too much trouble. It was an excellent start to the Christmas season. Well done to the kitchen staff as well.

3 of us had an excellent meal - 2 burgers and a steak/ale pie. Lovely setting and we will be returning before long.

Very good food, excellent value and a nice but busy environment. Service is good with a very good menu

I would like to get to know this establishment more! called in with a friend on the way to a social function . We only had time for a quick drink but the place was buzzing and it was only 6.30.They serve draught Leffe tha'ts a BIG plus.I believe the food is very good and it also has accommodation.The staff were very pleasant and friendly.

Having been put off by two not so good experiences in the past, I ventured back here with a little hesitation. However, my opinion has changed after I spent a lovely couple of hours having tasty food and drink by the fire. Staff were very friendly and service very good and the food was just the ticket. Will be visiting again soon.

A recent joint 60th/30th family dinner was spoilt by a mixture of disorganisation and poor customer service at the Crown. I went into the venue 2 months prior to the date we wanted to book and reserved a specific table, partly because it was in a quiet corner and 2 of our party have poor hearing and partly because it was round and so allowed everyone to join in. At the same time we were told we needed to pre-order food so as not to be disappointed. I made sure to watch the restuarant staff enter our reservation onto the computer for the specific table.

Came here for lunch once but was disappointed. Everyone deserves a second chance . This time was much better. Lovely decor, helpful , friendly staff. Food was plentiful and very tasty, perfectly cooked and well presented. To be fair I was offered a free meal to come back which I didn’t take up but glad I came back and congratulate the management on the apparent improvement, well done.

We recently went for a simple weekday lunch but the time it took for our order was way too long bearing in mind there weren't many people in the restaurant.The staff spent too much time talking amongst themselves and it appeared that there were no management personnel present.Sad because normally it is good.

Stopped by last week for a quick bite before a show. Interesting menu, tasty food, friendly, slightly disorganised service in a lovely cosy setting. The mussels were particularly good, as was the pate. And a pleasant non-alcoholic beer on offer which is a definite plus. Looking forward to our next visit.

Popped in for lunch on Sunday. Food quite good and plentiful. However service was poor, plenty staff but disorganised.

Last night we hosted a 21st birthday party in the crown hotel ballroom. Robbie and Hannah and the rest of the front of house team did a fantastic job of making the event a massive success. Nothing was too much trouble, Robbie and Hannah did an excellent job of ensuring everything worked and everyone was happy and most importantly they took all the stress away from us. Highly recommended. if you are looking for a venue for your function this is the place.

Had a wonderful experience staying in this old building The food was excellent Very good choice on menu breakfast so good my choice was smoked salmon on scrambled eggs Toast was nice thick bread and delicious butter With plenty tea or coffee

A group of us called in to the Crown Hotel Bar and Grill for a couple of drinks before watching a preseason game. A nice pub, the staff were friendly and the couple of pints I had went down well

Sadly the quiet , friendly, efficient waitresses were not working at lunch time. Normally, when we walk in they recognise us and immediately order our favourite choice and it is all carried out efficiently and with no fuss. Today we had to put up with this loud waiter who was far from efficient, noisily walking up and down to the kitchen. He brought one cup of coffee that was half full and then tried to give me the wrong till receipt and lastly got my name wrong on our next reservation. Please bring back the waitresses at lunch time, they are a real asset to The Crown.

Historic building, cozy and clean pub , me and my husband both had steak and ale pie with veggie, mash, which was delicious, full of flavors. Not the best I had at pubs but nice enough.

Visited the Crown Hotel Bar and Grill this afternoon about 3ish for a Sunday lunch. It was superb from start to finish. I have allergies which were catered for without fuss or trouble. The food was outstanding, quantity and temperature. The service was exemplary and so was the price!! ThNk you for such a great meal

The hotel is well located in the centre of the town. The building and the decor convey a strong sense of history - some of the pictures and artefacts are very old and the decor is very much in keeping with the age and style of the building- that in itself is a good reason to visit. The food is unremarkable but edible and there is a fairly good choice. The soup did not taste of anything but it was hot and thickly satisfying. Sweet potato fries were good. The service was fine on a quiet Tuesday lunchtime.

I went for a family meal but the whole evening was spoilt by the tall waiter. He was objectionably loud all evening . It was not the usual pleasant ambience which is why we often come for a meal here. His sort of humour, if you can call it that, is not appreciated.

Have attended 3 times in the last six weeks. Always excellent service, against a previous comment, our German Maitre'D I think is great, pays attention to to detail and always puts a smile on our face. Regarding the staff, they are great, a table behind us complained about everything, but ate it all before complaining and wanting complementary desserts, the way they spoke to the staff was not acceptable. Even the table next to us said they were taking the piss. We had a great meal, and a great time, but there is no pleasing some people.

Visited with my husband and parents. Despite there being a large group booking and a pretty full restaurant service was swift and we really didn’t wait long for the food. Prices are fair and the quality is good. All staff were lovely particularly the German Maitre’D. One minor quibble is that it is a particularly warm restaurant (but it’s a listed building so you can’t expect them to be able to instal massive air conditioning units). We’ll be back again soon.

Had a delightful Meal here, great king prawn starter followed by a trio of fish dishes. All excellent and very good value. Nice cosy atmosphere too. Charming helpful staff.

Visited many times to eat or sit by the fire and have a drink. Never had a problem with food but I always think the service behind the bar is not very welcoming. On the latest visit the staff were conducting a loud conversation using poor language a times which isn’t in keeping or necessary and carrying on with no awareness of customers around the area. It is a pet friendly bar and well positioned in the town

This was a lunch to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the formation of Nantwich Historical Society, with a large party of 29, so quite challenging from a catering point of views. From start to finish, everything worked perfectly:

My mums 80th Birthday Celebrations were held at the Crown on Sunday 14th April 2019.

All home cooked so takes longer to be ready but well worth the wait.

Fantastic food, amazing service, hats off to Patrick and Annie the Third!!! We'll definitely be visiting again 😍

Top rate food and service last night at the crown we met up with family there six of us all orders come to the table at the same time that’s good I’d would have given five Dots report by I’m not keen on this thing staff Do is hello guys we had the same thing at Crewe hall a couple of year ago and 24 hours later in a local McDonald’s the staff said can I take your order Sir ! Please just drop the guys thing for five Dots

We called for a meal, which by and large was good, the only let down was we ordered a starter of garlic bread!

Almost perfect! The food was great, good selection on the menu, no issues with service speed and the waitresses were all very friendly. I has mussels (classic) to start and a burger for main. I have 2 very minor issues which do not warrant a less than excellent score, but something for the restaurant to bear in mind for future. Typically when you're eating food which requires you to use your hands, such as ribs, prawns with the heads on or mussels etc, you would expect to pe provided with a little wipe so that you could clean your hands afterwards ... this wasn't provided. And also, I was not asked how I wanted my burger to be cooked, I would have preferred it a little pink and it was cooked all the way through with no choice on the level of cooking offered. Next time (and I shall be returning) I will specify medium for the burger when I order it! All diners in our party were very happy with their food, one had steak and had it well done (eek!) and it was still very tender even when cooked well done. No space for dessert so can't comment on those.

Unfortunately we may have chosen the wrong food as we had pizza which was horrible and possibly the grill options would have been much nicer. But it was still quite pricey for what you got. So potentially the crown should be 3 star if the other food is better.

Ate here last night. Good choice on the menu. We had starters and mains, soup, fishcake, mushrooms and black pudding for starters, gammon, cod x2 and mussels for mains. Couldn't fault any of it.

Visited the Crown tonight for dinner, had the piri piri chicken. Tasted great, huge portion all washed down with a Hop House 13! Great location, great atmosphere, great service and great company!

I had a beautifully presented G&T; with orange peel, mint and juniper berries in it, looked spectacular! The chargrilled chicken and caesar salad was yummy, and we shared a sticky toffee pudding with strawberries and ice cream. Coffee came with a mint chocolate, a nice touch. Service was outstandingly good and friendly.

We had booked a table in the main bar area for a family get together following the Rememberance Sunday ceremony.

We booked a table for a Saturday night, good menu choice, lovely freshly prepared food served by friendly staff. Look forward to returning.

Absolutely lovely building and normally great service but not today. The manager was more concerned with talking to her friends than serving and giving good service to others.
