We were a group of six plus a dog. We had a fantastic meal in a beautifully refurbished pub - the service from all the staff was exceptional - in particular from our main waitress, Lily - she couldn't do enough for us. She was also professional and friendly. The main courses and puddings were delicious and well presented. The tables were well-spaced out, but the pub also had ann intimate feel to it. We would definitely recommend this pub for both simple and more adventurous meals. Thank you.

Style over Substance Visited here for Sunday lunch at 12.15pm so one of the first sitting of the day. Very pleasant young male server welcomed us to our table. Unfortunately my husband’s choice of pork belly had to be returned as cold in the middle. This was replaced but still just warm which did not inspire confidence. My entire roast beef dinner was luke warm with cold cauliflower cheese (how?) and a cold Yorkshire Pudding which had to leave. Beef was so well done it was dried out with 6 pieces of gristle left on plate at the end. Spoke with the waiter at the end and said service was nice and friendly but food experience not good. Stylishly decorated pub however food too poor to return. A real shame.

Such a shame, visited Saturday evening and out of the 8 menu options, the two most popular (chicken and steak) were unavailable. Having a small menu is great but you do need to actually be able to serve all of the menu options! The restaurant has been refurbed and the setting looks great, but unfortunately I didn't want a burger or fish pie, so ended up eating at the motorway services instead!! This is the second time we have been here and it was disappointing so we wont come again.

So disappointing. My friends had reserved a specific table which when we arrived was not available so we were seated in dining room. Incredibly noisy. Menu choice very limited. When we visited last time there was a ‘specials’ menu and much more varied choice on main menu. My beef burger was dry - I wasn’t asked how I wanted it cooked. Chips were cold. Our waiter did say he would tell the kitchen. As I said. Unnecessarily disappointing.

I booked this restaurant for my Nans birthday along with my Grandad, Father and immediate family as I live locally in Penn. Hearing the establishment had recently been refurbished we were keen to try the new venue. Unfortunately I couldn’t have been more disappointed and shall not be recommending to others. The service was very slow throughout due to understaffing. When our meals finally came out no veg and a missing roast chicken didn’t come out until we asked for it and things were starting to go cold. My father’s burger was disappointing and looked like a kids meal from McDonald’s for £18.50!! He spoke to the manager and his response was “ that’s how we make it “. Everyone was uneasy throughout the meal, which was the polar opposite to how we imagined it would be. I have read the bulk of the reviews there is a clear transparency in all of the things above. It’s on you to thrive or survive. People will pay money for quality, they won’t forget a bad experience. I looked around the room and there was a real unrest in there faces that they had had a very similar experience.

We ate here for lunch on 28th February prior to going to Heathrow for an international flight. My wife ordered the Charlotte and Heritage Tomato Tarte Tatin. I ordered a burger. The tarte tatin was inedible! The pastry, which should have been firm and crisp was a soggy wet mess. The tomato element consisted of a green tomato plonked in the middle of it. When she remarked to our waiter that it wasn’t good he shrugged and walked away. This was served with a side of supposedly rosemary salted fries, with not a hint of rosemary whatsoever. My burger was ordinary, dry ground beef, not very flavoursome and my fries were also devoid of any rosemary flavour. We were very disappointed and will not be eating there again.

ADEL!!! That’s ALL I want to praise about this place. This piece of SNACK with his glorious hair and shining smile was my waiter and I wouldn’t have it any other way. He made my day, scratch that, LIFE better. He recommended the finest lamb ragu (I wish it came with him). His attitude and overall charisma hypnotised me. I wanted him to come and check up on my table every 5 seconds. He made me feel well taken care of and slightly aroused. I wish I could take him home with me, maybe they can put him on the menu next. Overall, loved it! (Will come back for Adel for sure <3)

The Crown is a lovely pub with 'olde' style decor and features - internal wooden beams, small door ways, and single glazed windows. While we came in February, the large garden would definitely see us return in the summer. Food wise, it did the job. There were 5 of us having a roast, so I was confused when 3 bowls root veg, and cauliflower cheese came out. Obviously we were to share, but portion wise it seemed small. Each roast is described as coming with a sauce i.e beef came with horseradish cream, chicken with bread sauce, and pork with apple sauce. Alas, they didn't come with anything and when I asked for the horseradish they said it didnt come with it, you have to ask for it - which can't be right. I was given a pot of horseradish in the end - unsure if it's the horseradish cream promoted. Being a Sunday, it was somewhat busy, and it showed on the staff as everyone was a bit stonefaced. Hopefully they cheer up in the summer. I'd recommend coming here for a bite with friends for sure, the place does have quite a historic atmosphere about it and the roast was acceptable. Beyond the roast, there were some tasty looking dishes on the menu which I'd be keen to try.

It's a big place but very cosy. We will definitely be back.

Party of 6 plus toddler for Sunday lunch. We were greeted at the door warmly but told we would be squeezed onto our table which isn't really the most welcoming way of introducing the restaurant. Menu was mainly roasts and a few extras, selection was pretty good and what youd want from a nice weekend pub visit. Fish and chips, burgers, pie etc. Prices all over £20 for roasts which is not uncommon for these parts but for that price I was looking forward to something exceptional. The non roast items were frankly astonishingly expensive, £18.50 for a burger and £19 for fish and chips is madness despite how often I see these prices. Staff were very friendly and orders were taken, food took about as long as you would expect for a busy Sunday. I had the pork belly roast, first thing I noticed was the flaccid wilted watercress garnish, both unnecessary and un-appetising. The foundation of a good roast is the potatos. The should be fluffy on the inside, with a good crunchy exterior, neither of which these sad spuds could even dream of. There was no evidence of the accepted gold standard these days of par boiling then roasting in plenty of fat. They were hard, pale, and dry, I've had better for half the price. If a kitchen can't roast a good potato I question whether the chefs know what they're doing or they just don't care. The pork belly was another disappointment. This is a cut that is either pure indulgence or just bad. A good belly should melt in your mouth, you should almost be able to cut it with a spoon, and should be under a crackled skin that shatters on impact. I was served a tough rectangle of pork, fat left flabby and unrendered, and just plain disappointing. This again shows a lack of care as to what was leaving the kitchen as pork belly is incredibly forgiving, all it needs is heat, salt, and time, a long time, and it will reward you with succulence which was sorely missed. The apple sauce that was supposed to come with the pork didn't until I asked for it late into the meal when someone finally checked on us. Mushy peas were also missing from the fish and chips. Additional points of criticism are that children's food was brought out last rather than first which would have been a nice touch, the beautiful bathroom was marred by a tap hanging off its fitting, table being cleared while people were still eating, an electronic tablet was presented to us to give feedback rather than the staff actually talking to us, a long, really long wait before we could get anyone's attention after the mains to request dessert menus, another long wait for the bill, cauliflower cheese was dry and undercooked, arctic roll was hard, child's pizza that looked like they were running out of cheese, grey beef with no hint of pink, I think that's everything. For a pub that has clearly had a huge investment and looks fantastic inside and out, the food and service did not live up to this cozy but classy finish. More attention should be paid to the quality of food than the designer bathroom wallpaper, pure style over substance. I could forgive many of these faults in a pub that charged reasonable rates but this really should have been exceptional, instead it was weatherspoon quality with Michelin prices.

Sadly won't be returning, service was very poor and we were often forgotten about. The poor table behind waited 25 minutes just to pay their bill! Food although tasty was very small for the price (4 olives for £4.50 was just the start!). Most meals came out cold or lukewarm. The atmosphere is really nice but not enough to make up for some fairly serious failings.

We went Sunday evening at about 7pm first time trying it since it's reopened. They took about 10 minutes to come and take our drinks order but the server was lovely. We had monkfish scampi to start which was nice but it didn't have much of the monkfish flavour and instead tasted like Pollock or cod, the tartare sauce was lovely and the waitress told us to use the lemon as it's a game changer which it really was. We both had the venison duck and smoked pancetta pie, there were pockets within the gravy in the pie that were just pure salt like the stock hadn't properly dispersed and the mash that came with it was more like mochi in texture (we like mochi so didn't mind) but it's wasn't the garlic confit mash that we thought we were getting my partner wasn't a fan of the braised red cabbage and it was quite vinegary I changed mine for their green cabbage and kale mix, it was nice but a literal forkful was all I got. We weren't blown away especially because the prices weren't reflective of the food but staff are lovely and looks great inside. Will give it another try once it's been open longer as other friends and family have had mixed experiences too.

Very disappointed. The menu was a limited as it was a Sunday, but we ordered the potted crab and scotch egg as starters. I asked what the fish of the day was and was told it was "roast cod loin with sea vegetables and some sort of potato I cant remember what". We thought she was going to ask when she got the drinks, but it wasnt ever mentioned again. We had our drinks delivered but had to ask three times for the jug of tap water. The scotch egg was delicious, but sadly two of us had the potted crab, which was basically butter with the vaguest hint of crab flavour, but as it was served with brioche bread, the sweetness of the brioche took over any bit of flavour there would have been. I did mention this and the manager agreed to remove the cost of both from the bill, which we were happy with. For mains two of us had roast chicken, one had the duck and venison pie and the other person fish and chips. Although the fish and chips were good, the tartar sauce unfortunately just tasted like a flavourless mayonnaise, which again we mentioned but were told that it's home made and just the way it was. The roast chicken was succulent, but we realised as we were driving home were completely missing the bread sauce that was supposed to come with it! In summary, for the prices we were paying we would expect much better tasting food, it was all a bit lacking in flavour.

Having last been in here 7+ years ago and not being impressed, under new management I thought we’d give it another chance. A month after opening, I took my daughter here for a Sunday Roast and I was raving about the atmosphere, the food and the service. Two months on we decided to revisit as a family and barring the service which was very attentive, the beer was off, the food was so poor and the whole place was cold and unloved. What a difference from curtains up! From what I thought was going to be our new “go to” turns out not to be the case. See you in another 7 years I guess

Extremely poor Sunday roast lunch. Burnt root veg, overdone potatoes, greasy pork, no apple sauce with pork despite indication on menu. Fake and intrusive US-type bonhomie "Hiya you guys, good to see ya, how you guys doin today'?" countered by slow service from multiple people. For 3 diners (mains only) and 1 pizza for 3-yr-old : £130 ++. No offer to compensate for incomplete pork dish e.g. small price cut, service% reduction. Avoid this pub. A pity since Penn is an iconic Bucks village and deserves better.

The Crown at Penn. I live very local and have been here many times but never reviewed. I have now been twice since the total relaxing of covid regs. Both times we have had small issues. The first time it was the time taken to get ordered and for food to arrive, I can't blame the staff for this as they always looked so busy. The second time it was availability of draught beer and menu items. The pub itself is a great place to sit and chat, the staff are excellent and the food and drink are excellent too. Large car park. Large garden. Lovely setting. I will definitely come again. ***late 2024*** The Crown went through a refit in the autumn, and though it is still a Green King pub, it has moved away from the Chef & Brewer label. Higher end now with higher prices and a pre added service charge. We went on day two of their reopening and couldn't get the same relaxed feelings from before. It could have been that everyone was trying too hard but we were asked by at least 6 different people if everything was ok, the person who seated us didn't know what real ale they had even though they had an iPad for menu reference, and it took a 2nd person and 15 minutes for us to get drinks. The food was quick coming, but we felt it wasn't any better than the other village pubs. The relaxed atmosphere from previous wasn't there though, which is a shame.

The food was superb, and what we really appreciate is the pace in which the food is served, you never feel rushed nor are you sitting waiting for too long. Today cemented what a great place this is. For balance the only thing I would suggest is a few Christmas decorations would have given it that extra festive feel!

Really disappointed. Venue is great and the food tempted me, after seeing it on Instagram. Unfortunately the experience was really awful. The waiter was picking his nose as we ordered, should have left at that point. Also, we found a hair in the crab starter. Ordered a basic burger with added bacon. The burger arrived with no bacon, to be honest I didn't even realise. The waiter came around 5 mins later and asked me if I had ordered bacon in the burger after they realised my burger was on the table behind us. He then offered to bring me bacon on a separate plate, when I was already halfway through my burger. I refused, and then he asked the same thing 2 mins later. I told him at the same time the onion rings I ordered were also missing, he said he would go get them..... I then didn't see that waiter again, even though he kept walking past, and got no onion rings, as promised. They then tried to charge me for the bacon. I asked them to remove it, and they literally disappeared for 10 mins, doing who knows what. I had to go find them, standing round the corner just chatting amongst themselves. Really poor food and service, and I'm not one to leave reviews.....but this really annoyed me.

My sister and I visited on Wednesday last week, we haven’t been since the refurb. We had a steak sandwich and it was the best I’ve had in a long long time! The staff were lovely, attentive and welcoming. We also had my 1 year old in a pram asleep during our visit and my sisters little baby with us and they helped us with the steps and doors etc. I can’t comment on other stuff as we weren’t there long but our first visit was a success and we are looking forward to returning.

Such a good experience here for our girls night, Becky was our waitress and she was very knowledgeable and friendly! The food we had was great, but have to mention that one of the girls is veggie and there wasn't a lot of options for her.

Lots of service & bill problems for 12th December booking & despite email & Facebook Messenger messages from me no one from The Crown contacts me to sort! Cannot recommend at this time. Pete.

I attended with my family for my elderly grandmothers 92nd birthday. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, the food was great and the atmosphere was perfect. Special kudos to Becky and all the staff who were very friendly and attentive!

I’ve enjoyed a meal twice at The Crown since its gorgeous new renovation. From the moment we entered, we were warmly welcomed and the service was friendly and attentive throughout. Dewi, who has hosted us both times, is excellent. The food is delicious - the Christmas roast as part of the set menu really is good, one of the best I’ve had! Highly recommend for a lovely meal in a warm, cosy and friendly atmosphere.

I have visited here twice since reopening and both times it was an absolute pleasure. The second visit was with a group of 14 and the staff were fantastic and you cannot fault the food. Shannon on the bar was very helpful at recommending drinks, highly recommend the non-alcoholic wild strawberry spritz.

I visited recently and had the most wonderful experience, the staff were amazing and so helpful with both food and drink recommendations and all of the food was delicious! The new look for the pub is great and a stunning change to how it was previously, it looks beautifully refreshed whilst still keeping the character of the building!

Disgrace. Charged my elderly mother £14 for two diet cokes and a water. Utter rip off. Such a shame.

Used to be a really lovely pub, yes they have had a refurb but the food was abysmal. Steak sandwich that contained 1 WAFER thin piece of ‘steak’, 3 pieces of sliced soggy mushroom a lot of mustard and raclette cheese that severely overpowered any beef flavour. The server didn’t seem too bothered by our comments when asked how our food was. Wine prices are extortionate, £15.90 for a glass of rose!? Service was friendly and warmly greeted at the door. A shame, but won’t be returning. £100 for a very very less than average lunch. Very cheeky prices for a Greene King pub where the food just doesn’t do justice to the asking price.

The starters were nice and the complimentary bread and marmite butter! The roast dinner was awful and an absolute rip off, roast potatoes had been from last weeks I think and the veg had clearly been sitting under the heat lamp for too long as they were just soggy and limp… not a nice roast experience at all.. staff were lovely! Just seemed very expensive for sub par food such a shame as the food had such potential But the roast potatoes, gravy and veg were not even worthy of 1 star!

It is very, very good. Menu was interesting, food was delicious and well presented, and service was slick and very professional. The venison loin was superb - only suggestion is that it would be nice to eat venison that's sourced from the immediate neighbourhood.

This is hands down one of my favourite Indian restaurants. The food is absolutely amazing: rich, flavourful, and clearly prepared with care and authenticity. Every dish I’ve tried has been full of depth and perfectly spiced. The service is consistently great. The staff are friendly, attentive, and always make you feel welcome. They’re also helpful if you’re not sure what to order and happy to guide you through the menu. The atmosphere is warm and inviting—perfect for a relaxed meal with friends or family. There’s a real sense of hospitality here, and you can tell the people running the place care about the experience. Highly recommended if you’re looking for delicious Indian food, great service, and a lovely vibe.

Had a fantastic lunch at the Barn Kitchen. We booked in advance as the indoor seating is limited, there are more seating outside. The staff were very friendly and attentive. A lot of the menu items had gf and/or vegan alternatives. I had the roasted veg sandwich which I'd highly recommend. It was a lot more filling than I expected and tasted delicious. The only down sides with the venue are the acoustics which aren't ideal and the capacity of the venue as I can imagine it being very full during the summer.
