Crown Inn Restaurant in Melton

Off the beaten track this is a gem. Called for Sunday lunch. It was an excellent meal with great service. Chef called to the table to ensure all was as we wanted it. All staff were friendly and professional. Well worth a visit.

We stayed here overnight for a family wedding. The landlady (Ann ) and her husband were very welcoming and friendly. Ours rooms were clean with fresh bedding and towels. Breakfast the following morning was full English with choice of eggs toast and cereal. Fresh coffee and tea. The children were also looked after very well. Such a freindly accommodating experience. Thank you

Booked Sunday lunch for 2 at 2pm. Quiet by then. Offered lounge (as there was space) or restaurant area. Lovely wood burner in lounge and stayed in there. Nice homely and intimate feel. Made to feel very welcome. Great choice of beverages even including proper amber ales that seem so sparse nowadays. Great Sunday roast. All the trimmings. Honest cooked food and plenty of it. Fab selection of desserts. Booked again for 6 of us in a few weeks. Lovely thanks Anna and your staff.

Booked for a group of 8 & greeted by a wood burning stove in the bar as were waiting for a table,when the cook/chef came to explain there would be a slight delay(she was waiting for the Yorkshire Puddings to rise),not a problem for us.3 choices of roasts on Sunday & a good selection of deserts.Very good service by efficient & attentive staff

A group of six of us had a great evening experiencing the food cooked by Anna last August. We will definitely be returning next year.

Simply a good honest British Pub, some of the best beer available and good affordable tasty food served in a really nice dining room. We had fish & chips also a homemade steak & kidney pudding. I know of no other pub in this general area serving home cooking of this quality at such prices. Open 7 days ( food 6 days) I stress I am not in anyway connected to this pub other than I visit frequently.

I was cycling and camped in the field opposite (with the owner’s permission). Run by Alan and Anna, The Crown is a traditional free house. Anna’s home cooked food is excellent and Alan’s beer perfect after a day cycling. They even told me to knock in the morning when closed for a coffee. Really nice people and place; a proper independent, quirky English pub.

Just had the fish and chip supper. The beer batter was lovely. We have eaten all of it. We don’t normally have takeaways, it will definitely do this again.

7 people for Sunday lunch. 6 oldies and one toddler. Good food quality and very good portions. Little person was not charged for his lunch. He also got icecream, sprinkles and a lolly!!! Prices are extremely reasonable and worth it. The best thing is that we would come again

This was our second time eating at this pub and both times were excellent it’s like going round your mother’s house for Sunday dinner everything is home cooked by Anna. And it’s delicious. It’s prob one of my fav pubs around Melton simply for the proper home cooked food. Sunday they just serve Sunday dinner but hey that’s what Sunday’s are for. And it’s lovely I’ve had roast beef and today I had roast pork both lovely. We shall definitely be returning very soon. Both Anna and her husband are very welcoming. Nice for just a drink after a long walk too. 😁

I booked my father in for two night with Alan and Anna. He was made to feel very welcome. The room was very comfortable and clean. He said that when he was next over from America to book him in here.

Have been to this lovely pub now 3 times, landlord and landlady very friendly, Anna the landlady made me a coffee cake whilst I waited, unbelievably friendly, and she didn’t even ask me to pay, it was lovely. This is the best pint of bitter I know anywhere, 10/10. This is a traditional pub, dog friendly I believe within the loveliest surroundings ... the best walk bar none starts directly outside the pub down to a ford maybe 2/3 miles away. Couldn’t be nicer X Well done for speaking and chatting to your customers, giving excellent service at good prices and top quality home made food and superb kept ales. I don’t know a better traditional English pub, but also try the more expensive but beautiful Fox and Hounds at Knossington too ... will be going again soon. Thank you for my chocolate cake Anna X

Wonderful couple who own the pub. Have never felt as accomodated as we were for our meal. They were really bothered and even asked us what individual vegetables we wanted. The price was excellent and the female owner was excellent with the kids - getting their food served first to keep them busy, colouring and ice cream too! Absolutely first class, the kids wanted to come back tomorrow!!

Saw recommendations on here with NO below very good,came today at lunch i had a fantastic cheese ommlette,chips and peas with a side of onion rings and a stilton sauce ,my partner had luver ,bacon,and onions with mash and veg.For dessert i had treacle pud and partner had lemon tart ..all meals were excellent and hosts were very friendly.would recommend and visit again.

Just had lunch at the Crown. Proper traditional pub with lovely hosts and good choice of ales. We had a lunch - the fish pie was absolutely beautiful. Massive choice on the menu with theme nights Aswel.

All the staff were lovely, they chatted to us and made us feel really welcome. I have to follow a gluten free diet and this was no problem at all. The cook was knowledgeable and very accommodating.

The food is so beautifully home cooked that I felt I’d gone round to my mum’s for supper, the beer is very well kept but what makes this pub perfect is that you immediately feel part of the family! The regulars are really lovely and chatty, the landlord is great and the landlady really cares about her food and the comfort of her guests. Oh how I wish more pubs were like this! Thanks for making our week in Sproxton even more wonderful.

We arrived here on the off chance of lunch. The staff were very welcoming and the owners were too. They brought out a small knife and fork for our two year old and we had a Sunday roast that was fantastic and we all enjoyed it greatly. The home made desserts were varied and all scrumptious! The owners were lovely and we will certainly be back for a visit!

We stayed 20th July. Got back to Inn late after a disastrous Il Divo show at Belvoir Castle. We were cold and hungry. Anna offered us something hot to eat and opened the kitchen at 11pm. Where else would this happen? Rooms big and airy. Cooked breakfast very good. Lovely welcome and would go again.

My wife and I visited the Crown for an overnight stay following a gig at Belvoir Castle - This pub is well situated and run by the wonderful Anna. To say the least Anna made our stay a night to remember - we arrived back after the concert at 11pm and my wife and I were treated to Annas' hospitality - although she had shut the kitchen down for the night she fired it up again to dish us and another couple a lovely late night dinner. This Inn is run by a Anna and Alan and they are very welcoming hosts - " this is my home" Anna told us and you are my guests - we certainly felt at home and enjoyed our stay. The rooms are clean and comfortable and great for people on a budget. Anna - myself and Linda thank you for your kindess and we look forward to maybe visiting again.

This is a traditional unreconstructed local pub with rooms, excellent food and a good choice of ales. I stayed the night when I was walking the Viking Way and can thoroughly recommend the Crown. The room was quiet, clean and comfortable, and the food excellent - worth travelling a long way to eat the landlady's steak and kidney pudding - the real McCoy with light suet pastry all round and not the impostors normally served these days with a lid of puff pastry perched on top of the meat. The plentiful filling was tender and truly delicious. It was a pleasure to stay here.

We visited for the first time last week.

7 de nosotros conocimos en este amable pueblo Inn. Desde el momento en que llegamos, fuimos calurosamente recibidos por el equipo maravillosamente atento. El bar era acogedor y confortable y el restaurante sorprendentemente espaciosa. La comida era genial, muy casero, de la manera que quieras, especialmente en un día frío en diciembre. Un montón de adornos y extras, que nos a decir que no cuando nuestros anfitriones fueron el objetivo de asegurarse de que tenía el mejor tiempo. Nosotros volveremos y quizás para una estancia de una noche, así que pueden probar algunas de las cervezas que tienen en proyecto. Gracias por un tiempo maravilloso.

No he comido en este pub/restaurante durante años, sin embargo, hija y compañera n tienen realmente disfrutar el ambiente y la comida.

Nos alojamos una noche en el Crown mientras asistía a una boda cerca. Sproxton es un pequeño y tranquilo pueblo entre Grantham y Melton Mowbray, no lejos de la A1 y bien situado para lugares como el castillo, Burghley y Belivoir Belton.

Lovely village location, great hosts, lovely breakfast, nice clean room and lovely bathroom. Couldn't do enough for us, 100% recommend

Pasé dos noches aquí en pueblo tranquilo y encantador. El alojamiento era cómodo, limpio y tranquilo. Par eran muy acogedores y nos hicieron sentir como en casa. Gran vino y cerveza. La comida estaba recién hecha y delicioso. Pruebe las cuñas de queso brie.. ligeras como una pluma.

Me alojé en el Crown Inn por 6 noches a finales de junio de 2016, mientras que en el cercano aeródromo de volar saltby.

Queríamos un B&B; que era un par de horas en coche de Londres cuando se viaja más al norte. Era una ubicación ideal Sproxton y este B&B; fue perfecto. Muy cálida bienvenida de encantadora pareja que dirige el pub y restaurante. Teníamos una habitación con un baño super maravillosa. Fue una cálida, soleada tarde cuando llegamos así que aprovechamos el patio exterior y disfrutar de una bebida en la luz del sol de la tarde. La cena estaba muy buena, y el desayuno inglés completo a la mañana siguiente era justo lo que necesitábamos antes continuamos con nuestro viaje. Sin duda parada aquí cuando viaje al norte.

Primera visita a este pueblo, nos sorprendió gratamente. Los propietarios son muy entusiastas y cada esfuerzo realizado por ellas para hacernos sentir bienvenidos. Disfrutamos de una cena en el restaurante con un menú completo y variado. Nos dio la impresión de que podríamos haber tenido bastante más de lo que nos apetecía como el cocinero no estaba tan complaciente. Ambiente muy tranquilo para un sábado por la noche, me esperaba que fuera más concurrido, pero si buscas un agradable, bien cocinada, relación calidad-precio, tranquila cena entonces no te puedes equivocar aquí. La comida era tradicional, casera y no calentados, así que prepárate para un poco de tiempo de espera, lo que está bien y lo que esperaba. Volvería de nuevo, los niños son bienvenidos. Los propietarios son gradualmente reformas cada zona y han conservado el ambiente tradicional pub inglés, bien que no han ido demasiado moderno ya que es un precioso edificio antiguo. Cómodos sofás y fuegos de leña en el salón, el caso y zona cubierta al aire libre y marquesina del libro. Habitación separada de bar para los bebedores y jugadores de dardos, comedor separado.volvería de nuevo.

Found restaurant by chance. Thank you for the warm welcome and great food. With the added touch of the bunch of daffs. Made my mother's day :)

We stayed at this hotel for one night after a visit to Rutland water. The room was comfy, warm and welcoming. The owners were kind and obliging and nothing seemed too much trouble. We enjoyed a couple of drinks in the bar before eating in the restaurant and enjoyed a nice meal before retiring. In summary a nice place to stay with reasonably priced food and accommodation.

My family ate at The Crown on Friday night. On arrival we received a warm welcome and were asked if we wanted to sit in the restaurant or the bar lounge, we chose the lounge. Choice on the menu and special board was great, offering something for everyone. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the service was personal. Food was tasty, excellent and good portion sizes. Definitely recommend a visit!

Excellent food & service - you can tell it's all cooked from scratch as it takes a little while longer, but well worth it. Beer battered fish or salmon & leek both were excellent

Two dozen of us turned up looking for tea and buscuits on a Saturday afternoon. We received a warm welcome. Hot tea. Biscuits and great service. What a treat, and a log stove too. Comfy seats. Fine china. More biscuits. Cannot fault it. Home from home. Fantastic.

Called into the Crown Inn with my boyfriend and his parents who live a short distance away. None of us had visited the Crown Inn before, when we first walked in there were just 3 other people having a drink in the bar and I must admit it I did have 2nd thoughts initially. However, we ordered a drink and sat at a table within the bar area. Although there were no menus on the table all the food was listed on a large blackboard. It appears that this changes regularly. Two of us ordered the kedgeree which had been made by the host that day. All meals were good but the kedgeree had a lovely kick to it, I later asked for the recipe because it was the best kedgeree I've ever had; I was told that it was a Jamie Oliver's recipe that have been pepped up by the host.A family run (I believe) country pub, pleasant hosts and would definitely recommend.

We didn't just use the restaurant, as my friends and I stayed in the 3 bedrooms. Had a very warm welcome and shown to our rooms, which were very comfortable and clean. We ate in the Lounge bar in the evening and we all enjoyed our meals. Slept very well, having come back late from a wedding. All had the cooked breakfast in the morning. I was very well accommodated food wise, as I questioned how things were cooked and replaced items with other things - not a problem! If I'm ever in the area again, I would certainly stay again.

Lovely place, food was wonderful. Have been before and recommended to friends for them to stay the weekend. The only thing I was disappointed with on last visit was that part of the sign letters were hanging down at the front of the building which didn't give it the great first impression it deserves. Hopefully they'll have this fixed in no time.

Second time here, this time with out the children, just me and my husband.What can I say!!! Wow the food was great, all fresh to order, as we ordered off the specials that night. The atmosphere was great, candles where lite and set a very romantic feeling, I will be returning back as I feel very welcome by all the staff, and friendly atmosphere. Well done to all that work there. Thanks for a great night.

Paula and Chris, as always gave us all a warm welcome. The lunch was excellent. A true country pub, we all had a great afternoon with lots of laughter. Thank you. We are planning another lunch very soon. kevin and jill

Went to Crown at Gilmorton, Leicestershire on Sunday 16 June as we went out walking and were stuck in Leicester looking for somewhere to eat. Rang Crown and got in about 1 hour later (4.30) so decided to go there as we have enjoyed carvery's before. Had an absolute lovely carvery as always and would still recommend to anyone.

We visited the Crown for Saturday lunch. Excellent service, food, everything. Lovely dining room with proper linen, no paper serviettes to be seen. The whole pub was nice with really excellent real ale. Its a lovely little village, very quiet. We will definitely return!
