The Crown in Camden

Very good food came quick and bartenders were lovely to me <very happy

Only came in for a quick glass of wine. Been to most of the bars around the area but first time in here. Glass of large wine is over £10, I didn't ask for a premium glass just a standard wine - most expensive bar in the area - very misleading as it has the look of a basic pub but has posh bars pricing. No drinks menu with prices - would never pay that much if I'd known

Apparently Shakespeare would visit this pub so we had to go visit! The beers are and food were great and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Loved it

Good staff, good booze, good atmosphere. What more could you ask for.

Classic traditional pub, great atmosphere. The place only serves Samuel smith beer on tap, which are all very good, especially the Taddy Lager.The place is severely short staffed, on a Friday night around 6pm only one bartender, doing double duty taking food orders and serving food. The bar packed (people just drinking not ordering food) and the poor guy was running around like crazy. The food was overall very good, especially the burger and meat pie. That said it took around 50 minutes for the first 3 mains to arrive and then another 10 minutes for my burger to arrive (at which everyone had finished eating), so we skipped dessert as I was too afraid it would be too long. The table next to us waited an hour and waited over an hour for their food and wanted to leave and get their money back. Indoor and outdoor seating.

I'm sorry but reading the reviews we had very good expectations and we went there for lunch and I was disappointed Excessive air conditioning, we had to put on our jackets for lunch. The very inattentive waiter, we had to ask him to bring us the cutlery, then he only brought water for one, not for all... The services are very neglected, very dark, the water from the cisterns is not working, not very clean. The food was not bad but nothing out of the world. The tomato salad with burrata, for example, was watered down.

Met the loveliest fellow named Daniel that works here and I look forward to becoming a regular at a pub that employs such great folks. See you soon!

I have loved every second in this pub. I love the atmosphere and the staff! The food and service is phenomenal. Big shot out to Ross, Sam and Matt for making my experience brilliant.

The worst pub I have ever been in London.

The menu is made terribly and the staff just don’t wanna do there job properly

It was good because it was there. Otherwise the service consists of two slow and inanimate people. Damage

Hidden little gem of a pub! The barman was friendly and actually offered to give us tasters of the different lagers (they were lagers so all tasted of nothing of course 😂), this is almost unheard of in central London! The drinks are reasonably priced a (it’s a Sam smiths pub) and the place was quiet and good for a sit down chat, with no music or sports on the telly. If you want to get away from the madding crowd in central you could do a lot worse than this boozer!

Good Fish & Cips, burgers paid for with ingredients not brought, waiting an hour with no other table present, coke finished, non-existent service, unpleasant waitress, two stars given away

The barman acted like he didn't want to be there and made me feel like a nuisance. The inside of the pub was empty with a sign saying We Are a Digital Detox Pub. Yes, I agree face to face communication is imperative but the notice made you feel uncomfortable. I paid £17.80 for a pint of unheard of lager and a pinot. Fortunately, it was a lovely day so we managed to sit outside and enjoy. I will not revisit.

Poor service - the guy behind the bar was a miserable sod and was clearly not wanting to be there. Tried to serve us a coke with a half pint glass full of ice - asked to remove some ice and he started being heavy handed with everything and practically threw my change at me. Definitely wouldn't visit here again! Also the whole idea of the non digital environment doesn't work Sam Smith...fair enough with phones but cash payments, really? It's 2024, not 1924!!!

Awful service and atrocious food. Not only did the cost of £16.50 for a burger seem overpriced...but it was also burnt and in a stale soggy bun! When I took the food back to complain, I was met with the most obnoxious and juvenile behaviour from the bar staff, who said that if they refunded me, it would come out of their wages. If you want to ruin your evening; go here for dinner. Otherwise, stay well away and find somewhere else.

Stopped off at The Crown Holborn old Victorian pub, chose sharing platter Halloumi chips, nachos and wings for £20 very quick and tasty. Lovely pint stout, Monday lunchtime so very quiet which meant quick service and easy getting a table.

A renovated old pub. Friendly staff and a nice relaxed atmosphere. The food is delicious.

The staff were friendly and polite and the food was delicious and I enjoyed it.very well done to the staff and the chef for making the food in such a nice and quick time.

Another perfectly formed sam Smith's pub

Didn't try any food as the visit was quite fleeting, but the menu looked varied and catered to a fair few dietary requirements. Drinks were priced on par with the area, but I liked that it was a brewery I personally wasn't that aware of. Proper old school pub decor, plenty of spaces to sit and obviously popular. Friendly staff and a nice relaxed atmosphere that appeared to be popular with tourists and locals alike.

Good fish and chips, big portions

The girl at he bar was obviously not in mood to be there. Went I came to the bar she didn’t bother to say hello , grumpy. As I didn’t know the beers as asked a taste of one. She gave me literally 10mm of beer, better foam, visibly annoyed. It was my first and last time in this pub.

Meh. Nowhere cosy in this pub. The front door and back door were wide open, so with the breeze, and the furnishing, the whole place felt like a corridor. The upstairs did look better, but was reserved for food only. I did sit in the back yard (which was a cornered section of the pavement, sadly shadowed by the massive development opposite), to look for another pub.

Noisy at first bit quietened off

6.4 a pint. Not worth that much but the beer is good

Had a meal, sat outside, beautiful outside area. Food tasty. Staff incredibly friendly & helpful. Thank you!

We stopped for a drink before going to Mrs Doubtfire. I had a double gin and tonic and my partner a small bottle of beer £19.80 I couldn’t taste any gin in my whatever the tonic was. The drinks were not good.

Sam Smith's pub. Didn't use the restaurant but the cider was fine and the whiskey good. Excellent service. N.B. Sam Smith's beer mats warn you about using laptops or phones in their pubs so to be kind to the staff the picture is of the outside.

A miserable and very expensive place, don't bother.

“The Crown” Covent Garden Have abusive and Rude management They verbally abuse staff! They fire you if you complain or engage in an argument. Coming from kitchen staff who has been fired over standing my ground in a argument. I was accused of putting gerkin/pickle on a club sandwich which was a mistake and I apologised however that wasn’t enough after carrying on insulting and verbally attacking me over how many times Iv made this dish how can I make mistakes I had enough and in the same tone of voice I was being spoken to said that’s enough I said sorry you want to fire me or get over it and move on I was told to leave. After 3 months of dedicated work I was fired over a slice of gerkin on a sandwich and standing my ground in a verbal attack. Samuel and Smiths Managers STEAL ALL tips I have not received any tips in the kitchen besides from 1 occasion when a new staff member was working so I know they stealing the tips. They don’t give staff food but treat the kitchen like their personal kitchen using and eating as they wish. Overall disgusted as a ex employee I will never recommend this pub to anyone.

4 of us, asked for 2 Mojitos (listed on the cocktails menu) and 2 lemonade. Barman says he doesn't know how to do cocktails ? Then changed 1 mojoto to IPA ... no IPA ! Pfff.

Serveur (Alex) très accueillant et sympathique !

An atmospheric place and absolutely lovely bartender !

Incredibly rude staff. Not had that kind of bad service from multiple people in many years.

The Crown is great for sitting inside or outside on the renovated Princes Circus between High Holborn and New Oxford Street facing Bloomsbury Baptist Church with its famous Rose window just across the road food is served untill 8pm upstairs except on Sundays.

Most horrible customer service. I went there on 19 May 23 and the guy (maybe Italian) who refused to give his name was incredibly rude and vicious.

Nice, usually quite pub. Where I go when The Angel round the corner is full

Great pub, very nice bar staff, and fine beer. I enjoy the fact that it’s a digital detox pub. It keeps out the mobile zombies.

We stopped in for lunch. Head upstairs for food. The service is excellent and we can vouch for the fish and chips!! Finished it off with a cherry organic beer, perfect accompaniment.

Came across just wandering after evening meal. No WiFi, no mobiles/tablets, just talk to friends which is pleasant to do these days.

Service was very quick as was the food... quite delicious. The chairs appeared a bit dodgy but were comfy enough to make up for it lol. I'd recommend a burger.

Went to lounge upstairs. Fairy quite as it was Monday at 1900. No irritating music! Good atmosphere. Definitely go back there

If the super boomer "digital detox" rules don't get you, the suffocating damp smell on the way to the bathrooms will. I was actually choking on my way back up (I live with asthma, not a good time). Absolutely swerve this place. Used my phone a bunch and nobody said anything btw. It's almost as if it's impossible to police that kind of thing

One of the loveliest pubs I’ve been to in London with a gorgeous warm and traditional interior. The beers were very good and the company of the barman, Dan the Italian New Zealander was superb. He was everything you’d want and more from a bartender and was a super knowledgeable, talkative friendly face too. I’ll definitely be visiting again soon.

Pleasant pub. Barstaff could have been a bit cheerier.

Very tasty pie, cozy and lovely, wonderful fireplace

Went for a working lunch and had a few beers with a colleague doing so. Asked to leave because they’re having a “digital detox”. Was almost laughable.

It's a Sam Smith pub. Unfortunately when we went there was no alpine and no taddy so only stayed for one drink.

We stoped for a quick beer. Nice cozy place with different brew options, which was interesting. I did not try the food, but it looked good enough.

Alway great for a drink and chat with friends,

An enjoyable Sam Smiths stout in pleasant surroundings.

Old school pub, imagine it gets very busy

Probably the worst dinner I have had out in about 2 years. Most of the food was cold, Halloumi fries are the worst, first we had were over cooked and cold, second were over cooked and just warm. To be honest the food was just cold, and very disappointed, bar staff replaced cold food with unsatisfactory warm food but it felt like we were putting him out. We won't be back again . Poor.

Food was horrible - the meat in the steak pie was of questionable quality and the mashed potatoes were cold and burning hot at the same time. My friends ordered a few beers from the tap and they all tasted watered down.

Jonny is super charming and a great bar tender

The waitress was quite rude when we were trying to order drinks. The pub is digital free, we were informed by her in a impolite way (talked to us loudly, saying we cant use phone). The pub was quiet on a Saturday night with an unwelcoming atmosphere. Not recommend if you want to have a good time with friends.

Amazing old fashioned place. Cosy, snug and booth type seating. They don't open every day and there seems to be different staff when I go. Outside seating at the back and the square is being upgraded.

Good pub not a restaurant no gimmicks judt a good pub

Tal y como se anuncian, tienen los mejores “seasonal pies” de Londres. El lugar está muy bien para comer o cenar y en la parte de arriba es muy agradable y tranquilo. El personal muy amable y servicial, ¡Fui un par de veces! Los “pies” estaban muy buenos y las tartas deliciosas con precios razonables. Una buena opción en Londres. 5/5 Seasonal pies. 5/5 Variedad de cervezas. 4/5 Tamaño de la porción y relación precio valor. 5/5 Atención al cliente. 5/5 Limpieza y cuidado del local. 4/5 Precio por persona (29€) 5/5 Ubicación.

I went here because we were staying right up the street on our trip to London.Staff was friendly,tables in the front to people watch and enjoy a pint,outside patio to enjoy the weather in the back,and my favorite part is Sam Smiths brewery products.Try the old brewery bitter.It was excellent!My wife and I made it there every night to wind down and enjoy a couple pints after a long day of seeing the London sites.Good crowd and not too packed.

Sells only their own independent alcohol which was interesting

Sam Smiths pub so no branded stuff. Great beer and spirits. Will come again!

The good thing about the Crown is the outside seating and fair location for public transport. It's a Sam Smith's pub so only you will know if you like that. Interior is marvelously Victorian with alcove seating and cushioned round stools. Not a bad place to while away the hours.

Most charming wee pub in Bloomsbury Go here

Went in for a quick beer. I got a bitter and my wife a lager. Both were good tasting quality beers. The weird thing was that there were no music in the pub and it was really quiet.

Very friendly bar staff. Lovely food at reasonable price, and the Samuel Smith on tap is amazing 👌🏻 Right next to shaftsbury theatre so good stopping pohbint before/after a show

Sells independent Branded drinks.. Misses doesn't drink, but really enjoyed the bottled strawberry lager..5.1%. Needn't say more..

Very quiet ' Sam Smith ' pub. Barman was friendly and chatty. Couldn't fault the place really if you want a quiet, friendly, cheap pub in the heart of London. I had whisky and ginger which was delicious. Thanks 👍

Cosy and beautifully decorated. Great pints. Found this place by chance. Glad I did. Great bar staff.

Pie not very tasty,made with questionable quality of meat.

Nice seemingly friendly place. Only had one pint here

Quiet and calm, haven from the noise

Excellent service, great atmosphere

This pub is not what it used to be, it is the third year we have been here and it has lost a lot, very unpleasant attention, bad food, very slow service…. what a pity!!!

Bad food, bad caracter of the waiters, and expensive. This place has lost its charm.

Un pub amb tota l’essència que haurien de seguir tenint els pubs. Atenció molt bona, la qual fa molt bones recomanacions! Altament recomanable, és interessant tant l’interior com poder aprofitar de la petita terrassa que disposen!

Cumplió todas las expectativas del típico pub inglés. Buena cerveza y buen ambiente.

This pub was busy outside but indoors was quiet so sat for a few drinks with a mate. Staff were great and approachable. Will return

Super cute pub!! The drinks are delicious and reasonably priced. Great patio and quick service.

Very good pint service very good nice shaded area outside

Excellent pub good pint of Samuel Smith's and good food

I absolutely loved this place it was good to try a different beer the staff were amazing and friendly the were even better as they allowed the grand kids to eat five stars the the atmosphere and staff thanks guys x

We used to love this pub. Good beer at good prices and a pleasant environment from the buzz outside. Sadly prices have now soared. A sign of the times perhaps, however, the biggest issue is the service and time warp experience. The lone, young lady was surly, monosyllabic and lacking in any enthusiasm for her job. A 'no mobile phones or laptops allowed' greets you on a small blackboard. Next to a 'No service' sign at the far end of the bar... Their right there! The furniture and decor hasn't been updated in years. There's rustic and then just lack of investment or care. I think it's time Sam Smiths had an update because the product is good, but everything else pretty miserable. A great shame. People will bare price hikes, but give them a reason to return.

Spent most of our time outside, perfect spot for people watching. Reasonably priced for its location. Staff were attentive and friendly. It was quite quiet on the Sunday afternoon, but I'm guessing that was because the euro finals. Would definitely go back.

Lovely little pub situated very close to The British Museum.

Service was painfully slow. Very small pub

The Crown is our favourite pub in London. Authentic, friendly and great value. Good beers, good food and lovely staff. 🤗🤗🤗

外観も内装もビールの種類も想像通りの伝統的なパブ。店員さんも優しい。一階が立ち飲みで2•3階がレストラン形式。2階には暖炉も。フィッシュアンドチップスは美味しいけど、大きい。

Great little pub with great ales. Will miss not being able to pop in for a pint on NYE this year, cheers folks.

More English thatln Prince William drinking tea. For the Authentic English experience - go here!

Traditional pub offering good beer and table service. Good Covid standards.

Good and healthy beer from Samuel Smith brewery

Went a couple of months ago and loved it! The pies were delicious, the staff very friendly, the prices were fair and it was one of the cosiest pubs I’ve ever been to. Couldn’t recommend more!!

Traditional pub with fantastic non-standard beer options including organic.

Martin really made us and our dog, Abba, feel welcome and it felt like a true pub experience despite the current situation. Will definitely be returning.

Отлично. Замечательное пиво и эль.

Great pie, and even better policy on turning phones off!

Friendly employees and a big Sortiment of britisch Beer.

Nice London pub with beers from small brewery. Also food on 1st floor. Outside seating area open to elements
