Old Crown Coaching Inn in Vale of White Horse

Awful experience, principally because of the shocking service. Sadly, I cannot recommend it in any way and definitely won’t be going back. It took 70 mins from ordering to starters being served, then 40 mins between starters being cleared to mains arriving. In addition, a number of starters, mains and side orders were missing throughout resulting the significant delays for some individuals. We were a party of 16, but the restaurant was completely empty. I would love to say that the food made up for the poor service, but it didn’t. Despite what was a really nice looking menu, the food was distinctly average especially considering the price. I expected so much more. The room was also freezing; we sat in our coats for the entire meal. On the plus side, it is a genuinely impressive venue, the decor is on point. It is modern whilst complimenting the buildings amazing history. The manager did apologise, however I thought offering free coffee if we ordered desserts was a poor/cheeky offer considering the experience. We would have been there until midnight!!

A lovely stay with fantastic food. Dinner was truly excellent and breakfast was both generous and delicious with the best hash brown/rosti ever.

Staff are excellent very friendly and accommodating. Food is great. Would highly recommend this place

Had an overnight stay here on the way home from the NEC. It's an absolute gem of a place! The room was stunning, huge bed, very cosy! Dinner in the restaurant was a real treat.....amazing food served with delicious wine by the ultra friendly staff headed up by restaurant manager and sommelier Nick. Would recommend this place 100% 💙

Went here for Sunday lunch after seeing some on line reviews. Have to say was excellent and very good value for money consideration the location and quality of food. Would not hesitate to recommend. So pleased we gave it a try. Wine list is also pretty amazing.

Very pleasant.wonderfull staff and locals.will be back. Nice kept beers 100%

This the first time I ate at this restaurant. I knew that The Ballroom at the Old Crown Coach Inn had won Best restaurant at the 2024 Ox in a Box award ceremony so I was keen to give it a go. It did not disappoint. The Menu was imaginative and the cooking was perfectly executed, the food delicious from start to finish. The service was friendly and efficient. I will be back!

A spur of the moment decision to book a table for dinner. Plenty of spaces in the dinning room but the courtyard was buzzing with people. Delicious meal, slightly over enthusiastic waitrose who didn't really listen to our order for drinks but the mix up was delt with efficiently and pleasantly. Loved the pickled veg in the salad and my partner was raving about the cold pea soup

What can I say... a phenomenal food experience. I could not be more impressed Every course was a taste explosion... I shall return

Fantastic service from Mabel and Archie. Highly recommended beautiful location and fantastic food and service was amazing.

Picturesque building that made it an experience to stay here. Youthful and enthusiastic staff members were attentive, and I enjoyed conversations with Archie and Mabel while choosing from a dinner menu featuring distinctive and flavourful items.

Very enjoyable weekend break. Lovely room, amazing food and friendly and knowledgeable staff. Luka and Seb made some amazing cocktails. Big competition between them two with who’s better… I thought Luka but my wife preferred Seb.

Booked for lunch as it was a special family occasion. Lovely setting and dining area. Great friendly staff with nothing being too much trouble. Catered very well with options for one food allergy in the group but all the above was just a taster of what was to come. The FOOD, which was superb! Interesting combinations of local fresh produce, prepared and presented with care and expertise. Everything that came looked and tasted fantastic. Really a stand out meal and occasion. My huge compliments to the chef and crew.

Verborgen pareltje ! Mooie setting aan de rand van de Cotswolds richting Oxford. Restaurant dat ver boven de gemiddelde pubfood uitstijgt. Verzorgde presentatie, mooie gebalanceerde combinaties, hartelijke bediening en als extraatje… goede muziek. Ook al twee jaar op rij bekroond! Ik zou er zo terug gaan. Overnachten kan er ook.

Just spent two nights here. A lovely welcome with a little bit of the history of the place while taken up to my room, very interesting history. Room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Slept well both nights. Beautiful village location and very good price, helpful and polite staff, will definitely stay again,highly recommend.

Nice stop over for a weekend at Fairford Airshow. Noisy in the bedrooms with folks drinking at the bar. Excellent restaurant Helpful staff

Very nice restaurant. Very good food and nice service

Called in while we were in the village WOW it was like walking into the slaughtered lamb really unwelcoming and the language I have never heard so much bad language since I worked down the pit shocked. My wife was is shock

Can't rate the rooms as never stayed. However the pub is very cosy and the fireplace is a great addition during winter. Restaurant is fairly pricey but the food is outstanding and you definitely get what you pay for. Service is always friendly and efficient

Excellent food. Good choice of ale, which was in good condition. Friendly staff and good service.

Delicious food - amazing service. Such a beautiful space to dine.

Such an amazing atmosphere and the cocktails are to die for!

The bed was hot and uncomfortable. The shower room had no place to hang towels or shelves for makeup or shaving kit it lacked a safe standing mat there was only one seat and it was broken. It was a sleepless two nights. We left as dawn broke, we couldn't get away quickly enough.

Absolutely lovely meal here. Restaurant is very beautifully done. Staff attentive and friendly. Will definitely be back!

Friendly helpful staff, great old world charm

Wonderful. Recently organised a last minute surprise party for my daughter. They could not have been more accommodating. Excellent service and great value. So much so that we’ve been back twice for a meal and both times we’re blown away by the quality of food, attention to detail, friendly staff and ambience and surroundings. Not sure how they provide this quality for the price. We’re so impressed we want to buy vouchers as presents. What a find.

We’ve moved to Buckland two years ago, and trialling a number of pubs and restaurants. Recommended by friends, we booked The Old Crown for a nice casual family lunch. Just perfect, friendly, welcoming and just what a pub should be. The food was wonderful, and service exactly the right level. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely stay for a friends wedding. The hotel was clean comfortable and room well appointed. The staff were fun, friendly and helpful and the breakfast first class. Prices were reasonable given the quality. As a wedding venue it’s right up there. Thanks

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING HOTEL!!!! Wonderful staff, exceptional food so reasonably priced .We will definitely be back.

5* service all round wonderful and excellent Visit 100% returning. Food Was Amazing also Staff are so Friendly and Welcoming. Thankyou all for the hospitality

Wow visited the Crown yesterday for lunch and it was wonderful !! The staff were all very pleasant and happy to help . The ballroom was beautiful, a great place to enjoy a delicious lunch . Comfortable seats and a stunning room . We chose the A la Carte menu and were not disappointed. The Sea bass Ceviche was delicious and the Hake with Clam chowder was amazing . We had a gorgeous pear/ chocolate/ dessert also . The homemade bread was very nice too !! I felt that £30 for three courses of food which was of a “fine dining “ standard was excellent . We felt it was a real treat and would highly recommend visiting !! Well done to the Chef and staff !! We will be back again .

We stayed for 2 nights in the huge Court room suite, with 4 poster bed, once used as an actual court room by Judge Jeffries. Fascinating history. Everything was very clean and every need catered for. The bar area was nice and relaxing and staff very attentive. We ate in the restaurant one night, which was very nice, but fine dining is not our preference and we felt the food was very small for the cost. Would like to see a broader more affordable menu. Breakfast was excellent. We had booked on the champagne folly tower tour, which was fantastic. Martha, a lovely member of staff walked us up to the folly tower, unlocked it and took us up, unloaded her backpack with an ice bucket, ice, a bottle of champagne and 2 glasses she had carried all the way, and left us for 40 mins on our own to admire the views, while sipping champagne, which was absolutely fantastic as was the weather. Definitely worth doing. Thanks to Martha for making this such a special start to our holiday. We would definitely return as hotel is newly refurbished in the last year or so and staff are excellent.

We stayed here last Friday and had a lovely meal (terrific tapas!) and stayed in the Court room. It was a beautiful and spacious suite with just the most comfortable bed. A lovely courtyard area I imagine would be a lovely space to spend the evening in the summer. The restaurant is very stylishly appointed with a nice mezzanine floor above the pianist. We will definitely be back. If you can afford it, book the suite! It really is a lovely room.

Delicious Sunday roast and great service! Couldn’t fault the food, 2 courses and complimentary bread too. Really lucky to have on our doorstep

We all thoroughly enjoyed our Mothering Sunday roast. This was an important family occasion and our first visit but will certainly visit again.

Excellent new lunch time bar menu. Amazing food for a quick snack. We dropped in on the chance for a quick bit to eat. The crispy chicken bites were amazing. The bbq brisket sandwich was excellent. Staff very friendly. Definitely recommend it for lunch.

Oh Faringdon....what is on your doorstep??? I've lived here for 20 years and before tonight, only been in the Old Coaching Inn once. Because we wanted to try it out before making a booking for a group of us, we ventured in there this evening. Booked online (easy), a phone call from the Maitre D' - were we aware it was a special Valentine's menu?..... We needn't have worried - it was just totally delicious. The salmon with wasabi and pea ice cream....a stand out and a dish that has to rank as one of my all-time favourites. A beautiful old building with bags of character and really tastefully restored. Great staff.... Faringdon, appreciate what you have - a gem!!

A very old building with good character. A labyrinth of rooms and corridors leading to the rooms. Owners trying hard to give good service .

Wow, what an amazing dining experience in a wonderful venue! The 5 course menu was awesome, the food deliscious and beautifully presented. The service was excellent. The ball room was prefect for the event, we could all see and easily herald the excellent and entertaining speeches. I'll be back next year! Thanks to the fabulous team for this wonderful evening.

The Ballroom Sunday lunch worked out well for a family reunion lunch. Really nice cocktail to set the scene, super tasty starters and very nice Sunday Roast with all the trimmings to follow. Just left enough room to squeeze in a dessert! Nice to have somewhere different to go.

We visited the Crown for Sunday lunch. The food was excellent as was the service. Between us we had the mackerel and Game terrine to start, the beef, chicken and pork belly for mains and the apple cake and chocolate delice for dessert and everything was very tasty and very well cooked.

Amazing Delicious food, superb wine, excellent staff, would recommend 5 choices for starters, mains and desserts. The food was so tasty and perfectly cooked. No cocktail menu currently but the staff will make your favourite cocktail The staff were brilliant, very polite, very knowledgeable and...

We visited this Inn in Faringdon on Sunday lunchtime and had a marvellous Sunday lunch. The quality of all the food was outstanding all freshly cooked and the best roast I've had for many years. Great value too, well worth a visit but book first.

My main gripe was being told after finishing my main course that there wasn’t a Dessert Chef that day so no puddings. I had already earmarked my choice on arrival. Maybe don’t hand out full menus if one course can’t be supplied. I probably won’t...

First time visit since it’s restoration and really was looking forward to a great meal. The investment in the restoration must have been huge as it’s so well done but I worry if they continue to serve food this bad it will be for nothing....

In such difficult times and the uncertainty of everything going on, coming to the crown with my bubble group made me feel comfortable and lifted my spirits 100% We come in and had a beautiful meal cooked and had a few drinks to follow The bar staff were friendly and had the person centred touch and made us all feel so welcome and chatted to us throughout our visit, following the correct guidelines. Made to feel at ease with everything they have in place Be definitely come again

Been To The Crown For Lunch With My Best Friend, Lovely Service Lovely Food And Smiles All Around Would Definitely Recommend This Pub And B & B Top Marks :)

Visited today for lunch. My mother had a starter worthy in presentation and taste of a top rate restaurant. I enjoyed the half duck with fondant potato. Best ever. Highly recommend.

I read a book called The Southerly Curse, (Before the Poets Trap) by Sylvie Gallimore and a visit was made to the Old Crown Coaching in by the hero in 1840. The Inn sounded delightful so my family and I drove there to have one of their Sunday Carveries. Brilliant food. It was however the flagstone floors and exposed beams that I was looking for, as in the book. I can see why this In was chosen to have a place in the story. We did not stay over night, but might in the future.

Lovely Sunday Carvery. Well cooked food, really enjoyable, great service. Highly recommend! Popped in with no reservation, no problem. Restaurant very busy but found a table easily. Would definitely return.

Stayed overnight recently in this quirky ancient hotel cum drinking house. The room was adequate with comfortable beds but the room gave an impression of tiredness - free standing wardrobe, plenty of hot water and toiletries. the bar has flag stones floor but, importantly a good range of beers with a courtyard where smokers can mass. As we had an evening engagement and would be returning about 9.30pm we asked if was possible to have sandwiches available in our room. Our request was readily met and our modest snack was waiting our arrival . Breakfast in the car very was self service but everything you could need was available. Marvellous start to the day.

I used to live nearby and came down from Northumberland for a reunion and specifically chose this inn as I have fond memories of the pub and the town. This was a fabulous coaching inn with lots of quirks, a huge building and labyrinthine. Great beer and staff and an absolute delight. I arrived in the town to find it had died. It was a cotswold border/Thames Valley lovely small town with a wonderful selection of shops and pubs. It’s now a desert of boarded up pubs, closed shops, and an air of resigned despair. On checking in the manager seemed a bit annoyed to be taken away from his dinner that he was eating near the bar. Even though I had a heavy bag, and a dinner suit there was no offer of help. He seemed put out by my arrival. The room was tired and in great need of refurbishment. The bathroom has a window at bottom height with no discernible blind! There is a telly and a tiny freestanding wardrobe assumably bought from a house clearance, but the rest was chipped and shabby. I went for a pint downstairs and the one I was served to take to my room I poured down the sink and opened a can that I’d brought with me. I chose not to pay the £8 for a breakfast and will source it elsewhere in the morning.I am very sad about writing this as I have very fond memories of this town and this inn. The town appears to have died and no one seems to be interested in giving it life support, including this and the other pubs. I spent 5 years in the Round Table here, helping make the community a great one, hence the reunion. But they all have seemed to have given up. Including the management of this once lovely inn.

I've had two carvery meals here lately & have been very impressed. Great selection of vegetables, the meat is gorgeous. Slightly slow service on our drinks but otherwise a great roast dinner.

Sadly everything ok except the wafts of sewage smells in my room. Have to write 100 characters, smell, could do with lick of paint, food ok.

Avoid their bitters. I left another nearly full pint as it (Doombar) tasted slightly of vinegar. Stick to lager if you must. Far better places to drink in Faringdon.

It seems to be a old and historic building, which could be made very characterful and unique, but it’s just a bit worn.Ate in the bar, the burgers were good enough, standard pub fare with a nice coleslaw, but served with rubbish skinny chips (McDonalds style).

Recently the local charity I volunteer for held our christmas dinner at the Crown and while the food was fine, I'm afraid in almost every other respect it could have been a lot better in so many ways..

We had jacket potatoes for lunch this week, but the potatoes had been in the oven too long, and the skins were burnt. Service was also a bit slow. The fillings and salad garnish were fine. Prices are reasonable for the lunchtime snacks.

Really enjoyed a nights stay here. It's a very nice old pub, with a great bar and great food. Staff and locals were very friendly.

Great place for overnight stay. Manager and staff really helpful and friendly. Loved all their plans for enhancing the hotel

My wife is vegetarian and gluten free, therefore always difficult we have found to feed. However here, without prior warning, the chef was able to provide a delicious off menu main course and then, to her amazement, a gluten free 'normal' desert apple crumble. It is the first time in years of facing difficulties when eating that has ever happened and she had a proper meal. Atmosphere pleasant, well served, staff convivial (lovely barmaid) - a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Good luck to the team in making the venture a great success, it is deserved.

Having just been turned away from the place across the road who were no longer serving lunch despite advertising an all day service we thought we would try the Old Crown. We were a party of 12 people with lots of kids but they were very accommodating and had no problems serving us. Food was tasty and plentiful. Good beer too. Look out for the freaky mannequin in the courtyard!!

I went here for lunch with my dad (who likes proper pubs). I ordered at the bar and the food arrived in good time. It was traditional pub fare and was gobbled up. It is quite dark in there and dad had to swap seats due to it not being the right height for him (he has vision and mobility problems). I would try here again but not as a treat meal if that makes sense?

The room was fine and my parents slept well, but the chef was something else... Knocking on the door 5 minutes before they were due (they had booked it for 8.30) for breakfast telling them to hurry up and order because he was about to knock off was truly unprofessional... Also no dogs allowed, I stayed in an alternative establishment where breakfast was served till 10am and no one hassled you (& they spoilt the dog).

Building is steeped in charm and history.

We visited the Crown as part of a day out from the local day centre for elderly people in faringdon. We were looked after every step of the way. John, lesley and Ian organised a special table for 15 of us and we were thoroughly spoiled. Delicious food and friendly service, all of our special requirements were catered for. The savoury pies were delicious and the apple pie dessert was a lovely treat. Thanks so much for a lovely lunch. Would definitely recommend for a special group/family occasion. Very organised and accommodating.

Couldnt fault our stay here, we were put in the Crown room/ suite, which was absolutely lovely, yes there is signs of wear and tear but this is an old building and you would expect this. Our room was huge,two double beds, a sofa bed, three piece suite and a jaccuzi bath, for the price of less than £70.00 per night we couldnt fault it.

Market town..serves dehydrated potato says it all.if you like frozen chips beef burgers frozen everything very little fresh food this is the place for you sadly not us

Very friendly and room was nice. Only comment would be all the steps and stairs. My husband eventually found it too much as he is not good on too many steep stairs.

Esto tiene el potencial de ser un encantador, pintoresco y encantador ser y ser. Sin embargo, hay varias cosas que encontramos deficiente. No había nadie alrededor para recibirnos. Cuando el gerente no venga a ella no era el más entusiasta. La habitación, aunque encantadora y acogedora con una cama con dosel, necesita una reforma. La ducha y azulejos estaban moule, mantenimiento de nuevo montado sólo es necesario. Había una mancha de agua sospechoso por la pared exterior, así que no fue un shock enorme cuando en las primeras horas, la lluvia era caudalosos y hacia nuestro equipaje. Hubiera sido genial poder decir que me volvería a alojar aquí de nuevo, pero yo no lo oportunidad!

Dropped in for lunch - cold and unwelcoming - paint peeling from window frames, table not wiped properly (rings from beer glasses) lights that weren't switched on or didn't work lending the main dining area a darkness.

My wife and I spent a very pleasant evening in the old crown coaching inn. Relaxing historical clean hotel with helpful friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Would yes I would.

Something is going on here and my guess is new management. Clearly working as the place is already looking smarter and they have an excellent menus. Highly recommended if you are in town.

Lady in the bar downstairs was lovely and welcoming, we sat with high hopes of a lovely meal with good service, however after we had been seated we apparently became invisible, The food from the carvery was ok but after eating, I noticed 2 plastic jugs one with cauliflower and the other which appeared to have a cheese sauce in which was left uncovered and without temperature control.

Front bar always good to go to... Very friendly staff.... Food in bar good but basic but also cheap but good quality....carvery nice food and good quantity for the price... Chef has the personality of a corpse...

Conocí a una pareja de colegas para un almuerzo de negocios. El pub estaba tranquilo y nos sentamos en el patio soleado. La comida era típica de un pub, sirve rápidamente con una linda pinta.

Íbamos a carvery y estaba bien, el servicio era olvidadizo, hay un montón de gente corriendo por subiendo y bajando escaleras pasado y la comida era normal. Los Yorkshires estaban secos y recocido como si hubieran sido recalentado y estoy seguro que el ayer salió el congelador estaba recocido. En cuanto a los postres nuevo en el congelador para el plato no muy caliente. La pestaña escrito en un destrozó betting bajada no es profesional, pero el personal es amable. ¿Volvería? Quizás pero no sería primero de mi lista!

i have had many meals at the crown with friends and family the food is lovely and fresh and with happy friendly staff that make you feel so welcome its deffo worth a visit

Visited this last Sunday. First patrons of the lunch service and about 40 of us in total. The set up was nice in the "private" room we'd booked, right next to carvery. We all started queuing for the carvery and waiting our turn to then have members of the public kicking off about standing and queueing and waiting. All be it, one lady was older and complaining about being on her legs all morning so couldn't wait any longer.. I'm heavily pregnant and had also been on legs all morning but got on with it. After queuing 20 minutes for the food and paying £4.90 for half a pint and a pint of coke - seemed expensive.. I chose what I wanted. Got tiny slithers of overcooked meat, one nice Yorkshire, a few overly greasy roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese which was mushy, unflavoursome and swimming in milk rather than anything seasoned. The parsnips were either still from the ground or burnt, peas tasted out of a tin of brine and the "creamy" mash was not anything close. The best part unfortunately was the table sauces from a jar as meant I had some flavour to my meal and cut the dryness.Won't be visiting again. Wasn't the only one bitterly disappointed.

Many thanks to the staff for a wonderful welcome. Made to feel at home. Shown to our beautiful room which was beautifully old fashioned with a modern bathroom. The bar with its roaring log fire was very welcome at this time of year. A lovely breakfast in the morning couldn't have asked for anything more.

Food was well priced and fresh. Worth the money. Good choice and served by friendly staff. Breakfast was good but the bacon appeared to be pre-cooked and re-heated.

Dropped in for lunch on a chilly December lunchtime. Warm welcome and what a great meal . 2 meals for £10. Fish and Chips - Large portions and freshly cooked - great stuff. A special offer on the house wine complemented the whole meal.

Goede bediening en aardig personeel. Kaart prima keus met dagelijkse aanbevelingen en specialiteiten. Goede locale bieren van de tap.

Beautiful home cooking on Carvery night. Self served from a large selection of vegetables and an amazing price.

My friend were passing through Faringdon and stopped for lunch at the Old Crown. They were offering two meals for £10 so we thought we'd try it. The beef and ale pie was the best I have tasted. Not served in a little dish with a lump of pastry plonked on the top as so many are, but a generous slice cut off a large pie with lovely pastry. Very generous portions. If ever I am in the area I will definitely go back.

Good value, honest pub grub. Tasty and plentiful. Menu was a little restricted after a busy weekend.

Rooms were querky but clean and tidy. Hosts/staff were very friendly and most welcoming. Breakfast was superb.

Sunday Lunch with My Dad (96) and Step Mum. Great value carvery. Very very helpful and courteous . The staff insisted on serving my Father and Step Mum even though it is a carvery!!Food well cooked and flavoursome. Lovely old building.

Entrees are ordinary and overpriced .Avoid the pork bits ! All skin no meat and the calamari had 4 very small pieces for $22 entree.Barramundi main was good ,again small but tasty .Enjoyed the diffrent selection of wines .Suggest if you try this restaurant you only have a main .We had 3 entrees,one main and a bottle of wine for $140 and didnt enjoy the food other than the Barramundi.Nice old house and good 50s music which is played on LP records .We booked and when we arrived they said we had to share a table ....no way would I do that when I had booked for 2 and they never mentioned that ,they sorted it but it took some convincing on my part before they rearranged the computer as there were plenty of tables for 2 when we arrived .Wouldnt Rush back.

Have now eaten here 3 times since the new management took over and have been very satisfied with the amount of (very tasty) food i have been given. all staff were very polite and willing to cook extra food not advertised. I would recommend having the carvery! As for the building it has lots of character and a fascinating history. Will definitively be coming back

Loved the rooms,bed TV,and shower all excellent.Friendly staff cozy bars, and a generous breakfast.Handy location on the square for restaurants and coffee shops.

Went here for lunch on a Friday. Lovely old pub with great atmosphere and lovely log fire. A new menu was advertised. There were a couple of items written on a board. i asked for the menu and was told it was being printed. When it came there wasn't much choice. Very disappointing. We had Balti chicken and my mother had scampi and chips. The portions were very small, not very hot and nothing special. My mothers meal looked very dry, in fact the lemons looked as though they had been left out for sometime! She didn't eat much of it and for what we had was expensive. What started off as looking quite exciting when we walked through the door ended up as a damp squib and we won't be lunching there again I don't think.

if your after old and quirky. You've found it ! Room very small and sparce , thin walls so you hear all the noise in the hall way, Staff polite and friendly, breakfast good with good choice overall. 6 out of 10. Ok. For a one night stop over

Went to this pub after a lovely visit to Kelmscott Manor, we had booked a table for 6pm as we were going to use our Taste Card, when we arrived we went to the bar and ordered some drinks, when we asked where the restaurant was we were told it wouldn't be open, we could go and sit in there if we wanted but we wouldn't be able to be served from there as there was only one bar person working, we asked where we could sit she said anywhere in the bar or out in the courtyard, we got a menu, the dishes on offer seemed to be very mediocre, fine if you wanted an easy pub meal certainly not restaurant standard, so we left feeling very disappointed.

The room was very spacious and lovely. Plenty of room for the travel cot. Extremely comfy bed. Not noisy at all considering we stayed a Saturday. Breakfast also delicious and staff very friendly. We have found a gem and will use this hotel as our regular stay when visiting family in the area.

This an excellent Sunday carvery with a good range of roasts, and good value for money. Always friendly and attentive service.

Stopped here with friends for a few cold beers. The staff were fantastic as was the service and special mention to a lovely bar maid called Charley. Friendly and professional. Although I did not eat this time the food coming out of the kitchen looked very appetising and will definitely be returning

we had a pub meal with the kids, (sorry cannot find the pub separate) but wanted to write a review, we looked at trip advisor before we came out but hadn't sen this one, then on a wet Saturday lunch time in Feb quiet a few places were shut but not this one. The staff were friendly, great with the kids, didn't feel at all bad with a 3rd old and 7 yr old in tow. The food was homemade, tasty and relatively inexpensive which was great. Loved their own beer. All in all helped make for a nice day out when the weather was anything but. Thnkas

Went with a crowd of associates to the Old Crown, primarily for a drink and to watch the football.The beer was great. I tried two or three real ales.Some of the crowd ate and it looked excellent. There was plenty of it and my associates said it was excellent too.It's a shame I was at the Old Crown for one night as it was extremely pleasant had a convivial atmosphere and friendly and helpful staff.

My wife & I visited the restaurant here for a Sunday carvery shortly after moving to Faringdon. The food was really excellent and the service outstanding. It was good to see that the luncheon was well supported, but there was plenty of room for more people!
