The Crown in Mendip - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Perfect location for central meetings and drinks. Food is variable, and there are good vegan options available.

Especially on warm days it is chilling to sit in the backyard. Variety of vegan foods. The deep fried tofu was crunchy yummy. Got free WiFi.

Lovely atmosphere, I really like the way this place is decorated. Didn't eat so can't comment on the food too much. But, it looked and smelt lovely.

Delicious food, great service and everything is a bit different than in the Netherlands. Glastonbury is not high standard but definitely worth a visit

Sloppy meals, King Prawn noodlrs dish & Tofu /salad dish. My companion complained tonight & left it less than half eaten I only ate mine as very hungry. Presentation & texture guys.

I had the most amazing loaded fries and good meetings at the Crown. If you wander what that beer you never heard of is like they'll give you a taste so you can make a good choice. The it place in Glastonbury Friendly staff and nice location

A perfect hotel,with great food,warm staff and central location,come here all 💯

I ate two days in the restaurant, a very central place, with a lot of charm and very good food and service.

Went there for an evening meal. The beef teriyaki was very good. However, also had some small plate sides that were not so good. Tempura prawns very overdone and rubbery, tuna dish was extremely hot (no warning on menu), and the haloumi was coated in some type of oats making it dry and tasteless. They did pour a good pint, though.

Thanks for having us!! The food is very delicious!

My son and I had the nicest week staying at the hotel and in The Bruce Springsteen room. The decor was lovely, the staff friendly, the bed comfy and the breakfast incredible. We will see you next year. Would highly recommend.

I had something to eat and drink here This beautiful hotel is run by friendly staff. The cuisine is, by English standards, quite good. You can sit on a small terrace at the front that overlooks High Street and Magdalene Street. Nice spot

Good food and drinks lovely staff.

Absolutely outstanding food and service. 14 of us had a 3 course meal and every one of us were blown away by how good it was. Highly recommended

Another great historic pub, the food here is fantastic & a very friendly helpful landlady

I had a great snack and drink here.

Food was ok but very slow. The beef teriyaki dish was dry with not much sauce. Waitress was lovely, gave us a free drink because of the wait. Found it difficult to have a conversation because it was quite loud in there to begin with.

Stay one night at the Crown on our way to John O’Grouts on bikes. Lovely folks who helped store our bikes away in the unused function room. We had the Bob Marley room, which we are pleased to say did not reek of ganja. Super spacious and a really comfy bed. Great shower too. Breakfast was superb. My wife had the eggs Benedict with salmon and I had the vegetarian full English. Both were delicious and substantial. Would definitely recommend staying here to anyone.

Popped in for lunch. Was not disappointed! Great beer, and the food portions are enormous! They also have a customisable section of the menu to make your own rice/noodle dishes - with a lot of Gluten Free options to boot. Fantastic!

Dropped in with family for a lunchtime drink while visiting Glastonbury. Uncomfortable, noisy space, inadequate seating. Staff busy and unhelpful - one member initially confrontational and then downright rude. Unpleasant experience. Cannot recommend. We left and will not return.

Late lunch: I had spicy tofu with beetroot and… see photo! Just wonderful. If vegan cuisine were generally like this, I wouldn’t miss meat 😂 This was one of the most delicious and beautifully draped vegan dishes I ever had. And in a nice location, right across the ancient market cross in the brimming centre of this vibrant town. Nice service, too 😊 I will come back!

A lovely old building, nice coffee!

Do NOT miss out on this tremendously wonderful restaurant and bar! We were traveling around and had just arrived for our stay in town, and we came in for dinner. It was one of the best meals we had in 17 days of travel in England. I started with a brilliant, fresh tuna tartare. Then, the “create your own bowl” I enjoyed had rice noodles, tofu green curry, a green bean salad, tempura prawns and the best sriracha maple sauce (i asked for it on the side). The food all tasted super fresh, delightful in flavor, and healthy. The staff was welcoming and helpful, too. Lots of love in the people and cuisine. I wish I had taken a photo! Bravo chef and staff!

Delicious food in this popular hotel. Generous portions and friendly service.

Nice hotel with a pub downstairs. Friendly staff and delicious food.

Visited for a meal with friends. Lovely food, lovely wine & friendly staff..

I went to the restaurant and was good. Gluten free options available. Nice staff

Great food and very friendly service. The soft drinks are a bit watered down though. Edit as a response to owner: the soft drink had the colour but not the taste of what I ordered. Maybe the sirup thing was running low and I just got coloured water (no clue how it works).

I spent a night in the Amy Winehouse room and absolutely loved it. For a solo traveller, the room was very comfortable, clean and modern. I loved the view of the street. The service was also fantastic, I had a delicious meal for dinner and despite a small mishap on the order, the staff were so accommodating and got it fixed quickly. It's definitely worth it to get Bed and Breakfast because their breakfast menu is fantastic. And the location is perfect if you want to take a stroll around to the local shops and attractions. I would absolutely stay again.

Excellent Sunday Lunch. Great desserts too.

We visited here on a busy Sunday for lunch. Great food! Perfect location to explore the city

Popped in for a hot chocolate, was delicious

Great food and friendly service 👌

I didn't stay in the hotel, but I visited the country. Very beautiful and characteristic. The abbey is beautiful!

Rooms were nice, clean, spacious and modern. I stayed in Bob Marley and it was great. The bar is well stocked and the food menu is really cool with an Asian twist. Perfect lcoation for exploring Glastonbury.

A reasonable selection of food and drinks. Decent location on the High Street.

Amazing Sunday Roast. Tasty, well presented, generous! Crispy Coconut Prawns & Vietnamese wrapped spring rolls were divine! Great service. Relaxed atmosphere. Good selection of beers.

At £2 for a half pint of lime and soda it's not at all cheap, the food is reasonable but loaded (cheesy) chips served on a piece of slate wasn't my ideal, and again, not cheap

Was staying in Glastonbury and ate and drank here

lovely!! I ate here twice and the food was great! staff were very nice! menu is varied and had a lot to try!!

Excellent place for a pint, great food.

Lovely cosy place with great location.

Visited here a few times recently, it has a lovely atmosphere, the staff a very friendly. I highly recommend the tapas, the standard of food is very good.

Popped in with friends..staff were friendly and helpful...clean bar area...lovely coffee

I visit The Crown every other Friday for coffee and lunch and also work from there. I have always found the staff incredibly welcoming and friendly. There are lots of lovely locals who frequent the bar and restaurant. The food is exceptional and very different to anything else on offer in similar venues. I would thoroughly recommend anything on the tapas menu and also the rice dish served in a pineapple half. Well worth a visit!

We ate there! Didn't stay in rooms

Called again this Sunday, review below from our summer visit. Drinks still good, dogs not allowed inside but ok in the outside spaces, the one to the rear is covered and heated. Called for a drink Tuesday lunchtime. The service was very efficient and friendly, drinks were reasonably priced. Good sunny outside seating area to the front, especially for people watchers. The Cornish lager was on good form.

Tried it for a change, everything was great worked well, a few teething problems with my room but the overall experience again was worth it

Went to Glastonbury Carnival, and popped in for a drink.Great atmosphere plenty of choice at the bar.

Killing time whilst car was being serviced and called in for a breakfast. Nice place and good veggie meal. Proficient staff, will definitely visit again.

After a tasteful and approximate refurbishment The Crown has new life! It's comfortable and clean and the food is amazing. The staff are very friendly and the place has a great overall vibe. Lovely addition of the little "nooks" to cozy away time in. The Crown is 100% worth a visit.

they have some very good food and some disappointing food (e.g. the lemon cheesecake seemed like a long-life supermarket bought product) lovely rooms but they only provided one breakfast even though the room rate was for 2 people and included breakfast

Popped in for a light lunch,great staff,excellent ale and fabulous food

Didn't eat so can't comment but great pub for a starter location

Staying not far from the centre The Crown was a perfect location and staff were very friendly and speedy service. Very surprised by the cuisine how tasty it was and arranged beautifully on the plate. Definitely I will recommend this place to eat . 😋.

The best cheesy chips we have ever had. Crispy right through the whole bowl. Great chicken wings, too. Staff were friendly. The sheppys cider was perfect. Dogs allowed outside only, I understand not all pubs allow dogs in, we left ours so could sit inside for more cheesy chips, only to be in the snug when a guy came in with two kids and shut the door, saying I come in here and shut the door because it's like a free cresh. The kids then went up on the chairs and the windowsill, jumping around so we left, along with the others that were sitting in there chilling and talking with drinks.

i booked a room which was advertised as the price for two people, breakfast included. they refused to include two breakfasts arguing that they needed to see proof that a second person had actually slept in the bed with me!! i find this a ridiculous policy and it's not even enforceable given it wasn't mentioned in the contract of sale.

Fab place fab staff..... it's like Cheers on TV! Everybody knows my name ❤️

On arrival our room was not cleaned...but they immediately took care of it and made up for it with a nice dinner... very service minded staff that made up for it! The room was fine but a bit "worn"... feel its overall a bit overpriced.

What a great pub. The staff were really helpful and all you could ask for. They happily helped bring our drinks over to our table, and helped us choose the meals which would suit us. The meals were huge! Not only were they really well cooked and delicious, but we had heaps left over and the staff happily provided us with take away containers so we could have the leftovers the next day. Highly recommended.

Great location especially sitting outside watching the world go by. Excellent food - loved the loaded fries!

Refurbished to a lovely standard - tasty good food, lovely atmosphere

Can we give 6 stars?! If we could, we WOULD! As New Yorkers visiting Glastonbury for the first time, we were so grateful to the ENTIRE staff of this place - from the Management, to the Restaurant Wait Staff, to Chef Dan who took a moment to visit our table and chat about his menu! We felt incredibly welcomed to this clean, efficient and kind hotel that is PERFECTLY situated in the middle of town to walk to everything you could want to visit. Not to mentioned we got GREAT night's sleep every evening! A few highlights below:- Steve who greeted us immediately the first night, was so kind and friendly and personally showed us around, and then to our room, then the restaurant etc! Was a perfect first impression!- When the parking lot's coin payment machine had a malfunction one morning and left no way to pay for the day, Karen from behind the bar at breakfast time offered to let us use her personal phone and her parking app so we could then register OUR rental car and it's license plate number through her! That was the only way to avoid a ticket since the coin machine was down, she was so kind!- When our food at the Crown's Restaurant was so damn amazing, Steve our server and bartender asked if we'd like to meet the Chef and we said YES! So the amazing Chef Dan came took a few minutes to come from the kitchen and chat about his inspired menu - he also asked about our trip and where we were from (NYC) and just made us feel so welcomed and special.- Then of course we loved the simple smiles and moments of kindness of others who work there whose names now evade us, but everyone was so lovely.THANKS to everything, when we come back we WILL be staying at this hotel!-Eric and Justin M, August 2023 - Eric M

These best spot for a drink in Glastonbury as it gets the evening sun. Good staff and recently refurbished. Ok Prices. Best in Glastonbury.

A great place to sit outside and watch the world go by.

We were welcomed and delighted by friendly and helpful service from the staff. We enjoyed a dinner of roast beef on a Sunday evening having just arrived in Glastonbury. The cider was good too :-) We shall no doubt be back when we next visit Glastonbury.

We only had some quick lunch, but it was tasty, and the pub was clean.

What a fabulous place to visit, cosy and great service. The food is phenomenal which is why I visited 2 nights in a row so delicious. Shame they don't do desserts as I expect they would be phenomenal. Very accommodating here. I can't rate the rooms as I didn't stay here

Lovely pub, delicious food and friendly staff.

First off - AWESOME food and drinks. We were a bit jet-lagged and confused with how to order food. For those reading this and in our questionable level of wits, grab a seat and a menu from the bat, figure out what you want, and then order at the bar. little bit confusing to jet lagged us. Gin and Tonic was top-notch. The Glastonbury Ale was good. The Roast Portobello Mushroom Toasty with chips was amazing. Best of all, though, was the Crispy Pork and Meatball Street Noodle Bowl. Way too much food for the two of us, but it is easily our favorite meal of the trip so far.

nice place staff really nice good menu decent prices gets really busy well worth a visit

Cannot recommend the Crown enough. The staff were manically busy last night but still managed to be very accommodating and friendly. The vegan food was amazing! Flavoursome, fresh and filling. If the chef hasn’t got a cook book out yet, why not!? 😁

A hidden gem!!! Never expected a hotel restaurant to be this good but it was one of our fav meals in Glasto. Some really great vegan options and everything was really zesty and fresh. Really nice job and highly recommend for a bite!

Stop of for some liquid refreshments. We'll stocked bar. Lovely lady called Karen went out of her way and brought our boxer some cold water. Thank you.

Good people people creates great service here...

Lovely food friendly and ethical

Spent 3 nights in Glastonbury and had 2 meals at The Crown 1 evening meal that was possibly the best meal out we have had in ages. Superb food beautifully presented. Went back for a lunch 2 days later and again - superb. Would very highly recommend the food. Staff were also very helpful Well done to all

Didn't stay, only went in for a couple of pints on a Saturday night. I don't say this lightly, but the Bath Gem real ale was quite possibly the best ale I've ever had in a pub. It was delicious, and perfectly poured by a young lady that knew what she was doing. Otherwise, the pub itself was clean and friendly, I'll be back, hopefully before too long.

I ordered a curry it tasted amazing and good portion size, I ate outside as it was sunny but looks lovely inside nice decor.

I went to the restaurant with my family, we order food and waited around 1 hour to receive it. We didn't enjoy the food. I ordered a classic beef burger which cost £15 and was no special at all. I would pay £4 for that burger, sorry chef, but is like that. When we finished we told the staff about the situation (not the food quality because that is what they offer, so is just luck or not). We complained about the waiting time and after discussing for a couple minutes, they gave us the 25% discount at least. I would give 1 star if wasn't for the discount, but still expensive for the quality of the food we received.

I enjoy coming here but my only complaint is that I bought a non alcoholic drink as I was 5.50 A bottle where at another pub further down the road was cheaper by about 2 pounds.

Nice food I was here with my family of 5 who also loves the food

In our experience, the nicest place to eat in Glastonbury. Eclectic mix of people, wonderful cocktails, lovely staff. Great atmosphere and beautiful decor

The Crown is a lovely welcoming hotel right in the heart of the High St I love this hotel for its good food and friendly staff

Great Sunday lunch, £16 a head and well worth it, with good local beers and ciders. Seem to serve all day as we turned up at 4.30. Friendly, cheerful staff too.

Great coffee. Table service. Polite and friendly staff.

J'ai juste testé le bar et restaurant. On y mange très bien. Les plats sont variés et il y a du bon vin. Le service est sympathique. Je recommande cet endroit.

Have eaten here three times now. The food had been incredible every time. Just marking it down one star because it takes sooooooo long to get served. Every time I've been in there have been too few staff and I think it's a real shame. A few more people on busy days would make a huge difference

I've been here three times in two days. I cannot express how ducking good the food is and how hospitable and welcoming the staff are. It has Gluten free/Vegan options that are mouth watering. Come, hither, stay, fill up, get drunk. Enjoy.

Food was pretty good, staff seemed uninterested. Bit pricy for what it was. Would go there again when the queen of cups is closed.

Vile establishment, happy to take your money, but look down their noses at the locals and anyone else who's not their preferred middle class clientele. God forbid you should ask to use the toilet, even if you've been buying drinks all day and consuming them outside. Nasty people, nasty attitudes.

I came down from London to visit my brother who has dementia and is in a care home in Glastonbury. After a distressing and emotional day I decided to have a drink in this pub. I ordered a mojito, and stood at the bar waiting for it. The girl who was making it suddenly said "are you going to stand here and watch me make it or do you want to go and sit at a table?" I was really shocked at her cocky and rude attitude. I sat at a table, and she brought it over, It was a nice drink, but due to the attitude of that girl behind the bar I will not visit again. I left after one drink and found somewhere that was more friendly. A suggestion, she could have said "if you'd like to sit down I'll bring it over". Easy. Must try harder and maybe some training is needed on how to speak politely to customers.

Located in the heart of the town, this is a spacious and well presented place with bar downstairs. Plenty of seating and a great place to unwind.

Only go in for drinks. It's on the pricy side for Avalon but you pay for what you get. Great friendly atmosphere, really good selection of drinks. Service can be slow but itsa really busy place so just be patient!

Oh wow! Chance discovery on a random walk and we found this brilliant place. The staff mentioned there was a new menu so I tried the “tapas” style 3 for £18 and…. delicious does not do it justice. I had the Rava Dosa, King Prawn and Corn fritter and I could easily have seconds once the fire brigade puts out the fire in my mouth … in a good way!!! Yum. Come and have some! I’m not one of those take photos of me food types but I wished I had.

We dined here but we’re not staying at the hotel. My meal was good - a veggie bowl with veg based ‘meats’ - it was flavorful and healthy and visually appealing. My friend ordered the duck confit and tough the duck was good, the pasta was so hot/spicy she couldn’t eat it. The place is busy so go when you have time. Ordering at the bar worked best for us as the servers were quite busy. The atmosphere was nice - an old pub setting. Our drinks were good - the watermelon margarita was a hit!

Location, vibe, food & friendly helpful staff made for a lovely stay Loved it Thanks

Stopped for coffee and juice with the kids. Lovely, cosy and clean bar and seating area. Nice friendly and helpful staff.

Mark, Frin and the entire staff were so accommodating. I felt welcomed from the moment I walked in. They are genuinely focused on making you feel at home. The breakfast was fabulous and large portioned. Great conversations came about from the locals and other guests, which I’m attributing to the type of people they draw in.

Great food and very friendly efficient service. Toasted sandwiches were a great choice!
