The Crown in Huntingdonshire

We stayed overnight here as we needed a stopover in the area. Our room was excellent. Large, very clean, beautiful decor. Large bathroom well stocked with toiletries. Everything you could want, including a small fridge with fresh milk which was a nice touch. Breakfast was lovely as was the lady who served us. I forgot to get her name, but she was very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. Highly recommended and situated in a lovely village just off the A605.

We went to The Crown, Elton for a birthday meal. The bar was busy, and we were served swiftly and efficiently by welcoming staff. The restaurant was excellently presented and was clean and light. The food was fantastic, alot of care was taken in it's presentation, and it was piping hot. Portion sizes are good and it's clear good quality produce is used as it was delicious. It's clear the chef or chefs take pride in their work (see photos). It was worth every penny. We will definitely come back.

Very good Gastro-Pub. Very good value for money. Diversified and long menu. Simple wine list. Nice premises. Very good service. Nice people.

The food was very good, of ample portion and served on piping hot plates. Good quality vegetables done to a tee. The service was a little slow (45 minutes from ordering). It was unfortunate that the fire alarm, (which was very lound), went off twice during our meal. The staff handled the situation well and assured us that there was no fire. The staff were very courteous and accomodating at all times. The music in the bar area was rather loud. The toilets were very clean. Overall, we enjoyed our meal.

It was a great place for food and it had good service but it was a while but that’s understandable,we would’ve liked more vegetables bcz there wasn’t enough but other than that it was very nice

It was a reunion with a friend who I hadn't seen for ages. We had dinner at The Crown and stayed overnight. The evening meal was very good - a nice choice on the menu; well cooked and tasty. The restaurant was busy but service was excellent and very friendly. Bedrooms were lovely and the breakfast next morning was excellent - a great variety to choose from. Will certainly visit The Crown again. Thank you.

A beautiful cosy pub / restaurant. Sunday lunch 10/10 . Desserts for the price would have liked a bigger slice of coconut and raspberry cake. Staff very friendly. Will definitely be coming back

Excellent meal, one of the best I’ve had lately and in a beautiful setting restaurant/pub and surrounding area. Will definitely visit again soon

Superb as always. An overnight stay with evening meal and breakfast. Room well appointed and spotlessly clean, food excellent, service efficient and friendly. Have stayed here quite a few times before and will keep coming back.

We love going to The Crown for a roast. The dining room is lovely and we always feel well looked after. The food is always exceptional. Great staff, great food, great drink selection and good parking in a lovely village. Could not ask for anything more. Those who were having the roast beef were given the option of pink or more well done, which was a nice touch!

From the moment I met the owner and looked around the conservatory I knew this was the place to to have my mothers surprise 70th. Xin was so accommodating, the meal choices for the menu were just excellent, the food was equally as amazing . Everyone commented on how lovely the room was to the food . We had a lovely afternoon . I hate to say anything negative I really do but just for Xin to recognise that we felt you didn’t have enough staff on, with 29 guests we had to wait for a few dishes a bit longer than I hoped and also whe going to the bar there wasn’t anyone manning it on the few times we would go to get a drink, obviously we know you did take table service but as you looked a little short staffed we thought we would go up to the bar which wasn’t any trouble for us , just a bit of a shame on staffing . Friends and family have all said they will return to eat at this lovely establishment agin in the future . Thanks very much Xin x The Young family for Julie’s 70th . April 2024

Had a lovely lunch really enjoyed it , also the restaurant is well maintained , also host was very pleasant and willing to please . Shall be going back again soon , booked for 10 May al a cart

A friendly destination pub in a pleasant setting. We received a warm welcome on entering and attentive service throughout our stay.

Very good steak. Busy restaurant which was rather noisy due to lack of soft sound-absorbent surfaces. Staff worked hard and effectively. Menu limited but dishes were well presented.

Selected The Crown out of alll of our local eateries for a Thursday evening meal and it was excellent. The wait for our food was quite long, although not excessive, but when it arrived it was perfect; a freshly cooked and beautifully presented meal. In our opinion the best local pub food we have had for a very long time. We will definitely return.

Lovely quaint village pub in beautiful setting with great food . We loved the tapas - and there was plenty of it . Will definitely revisit

Visited for the first time today for lunch. Lovely friendly staff and food was absolutely delicious - will definitely be returning

Had 3 rooms in the main pub on a Saturday night for a family reunion. Couldn’t fault anything. Rooms are gorgeous, very comfy large beds with very tasteful decor. Had drinks, dinner and breakfast. All wonderful. Staff very friendly Lovely location Will be back next year!

Excellent food with friendly service. Couldn't ask for anything better, quaint pub with scrumptious food and lovely beer

Haven't been to the Crown for ages as every time we tried to book, they were full so book early. Sunday lunch was as before, first class, food excellent, and service.

The staff were lovely and helpful and we went for parent’s birthday but the food quality was not good. Previous visits we could not complain but our latest visit March 2024 was terrible. We did give feedback to the staff and got a reduction on our bill but would have preferred to pay full price and enjoy a good meal. Everything was extremely salty and the gammon was dry. Overall we were extremely disappointed even though the staff were lovely, the food has completely let this pub down.

Picturesque village pub. Lovely food, excellent service and so cosy in the pretty restaurant. Will certainly be visiting again soon.

A quaint village pub, set on the green. Parking behind the pub. It's very popular with local residents. I ordered chicken casoulet, one of us had burger and chips and another ham and chips. We sat in the main restaurant which was light and airy, and quiet. Food was hot and well presented. From the pub there are several walks including down to the river and flood plains. The village is charming with numerous period homes. Nearby is Elton Hall and a garden centre.

Superbly understated. From our arrival the staff were relaxed and friendly. A few locals in the bar made us welcome and chatty. Room incredibly well decorated. Spotless. Food was AMAZING. Breakfast was a real hit! Full English beautifully cooked and good coffee. Highly recommended, and to top it all, set in a beautiful village.

Good food but Sunday lunch menu doesn’t show individual prices for dishes, just cost of two-course or three-course options. Service was terrible. Staff friendly and seemed enough of them, but took ages to take our orders, had to be asked several times to bring things we’d asked for, and not clearing the table unless we asked them to

Great atmosphere and lovely food as always. Very lucky to have it as our local with good beers and wine and great food. Worth a visit.

We have been a few times and generally very good - but last weekend the service was unapologetically slow! Spoilt the meal and experience - constantly having to chase for menus, drinks and attention whenever we needed anything. A very frustrating experience. Shame to have...

Lovely restaurant. Food was very tasty. High bowls were a little awkward when using a knife and fork. Perhaps the roses in the vases could have been refreshed. Would go again.

3 X course meal for forty quid? A bit on the pricey side but then again, luxurious dining room and comfy seats. Food was top notch...cannot be beaten IMHO. Staff friendly and attentive. Definitely going again! 😃

The service was 5star. We were greeted with a smile and all staff were friendly and made our meal stress-free. The food was exquisite, I will certainly be heading back soon. I recommend to all.

It would have been a 5-star review but there was a leftover yogurt drink in our fridge - clearly from the previous guest. It just made me question how was the room cleaned. Otherwise, the room was lovely! We stayed in Burghley and it’s a...

Booked a Sunday meal for 2pm, 40 minutes after sitting down at our table, nobody had spoken to us, or given us a menu and couldn’t get a waiter / waitress’s attention so we left. Very disappointing and extremely poor service.

Lovely atmosphere- 6 nations on in the bar but the restaurant is separate. The restaurant was beautiful, the service was excellent and the food was absolutely amazing! We will certainly be back

Last minute booking to celebrate my elderly parents 60th wedding anniversary. My mum is disabled and the friendly staff did everything to make our evening special. We spanned four generations but they catered to us all including a highly energetic three year old. Kids menu...

Probably one of the best Sunday lunches we’ve ever had. The roast beef was unbelievable followed by a crème brûlée. Great service and brilliant staff. If we didn’t live 3 hrs away we’d be here every week.

Last minute date night and decided to try the Crown. The food was absolutely amazing!!!! We cannot recommend this restaurant enough and we cannot wait to go back. Hats off to the chefs and the staff are so helpful and there is nothing that they...

Bon, goûteux, un peu cher, le personnel pas très accueillant, et au pub à 23 h on vous met dehors...

Very disappointing. We wanted the tapas that was offered on the on line menu but this hadn’t been available for weeks ! Undeterred, we ordered off the main menu but 2 of the meals were cold and had to be remade. We waited 6 minutes...

We were so pleased to see how crowded the bar was. The pub was buzzing. We were found a table in the bar, which we preferred to eating in the conservatory. The staff were plentiful. Service was quick. We did have to wait a bit...

Had a great lunch today, really nice atmosphere in the bar area and all 6 of us enjoyed the food. Good vegetarian options and all meals had generous portions. Haven’t been here for a meal before but definitely recommend 👍

We stayed for 1 night in this lovely friendly Inn and followed it with a delicious breakfast, our room had its own private area with table and 2 chairs which would be delightful to sit out with a cuppa and a book in spring/summer

Was invited here to a special evening with a lady. The food was absolutely fantastic. Had the steak with all the trimmings and couldn't fault it. Steak cooked perfectly and peppercorn sauce was gorgeous and a generous portion. The young man who brought our bill...

Excellent accomodation, excellent food and a fantastic all round experience. We had a fantastic anniversary will be visiting again very soon. Would wholly recommend

My BLT was delicious as were the chunky chips. The service was excellent. No delay in serving our order. Everyone in the group enjoyed their lunch.

Stayed for one night in the Tansor room, beautiful! Wish I could have stayed longer. Stunning decor, really comfortable bed, lovely little touches.

Nothing was too much trouble and this was from the booking to the dinner. Service was very good and the food was plentiful and tasty. It’s was great to night.

An absolutely perfect dining experience! The food was truly superb (I would go as far as to say the best Sirloin Steak I have ever eaten - and believe me, I've eaten a few!), the staff attentive but not overbearing, and the atmosphere in the...

Wonderful setting for a family birthday celebration in The Snug and bar. A lovely atmosphere, super food and drink and attentive staff who were friendly and efficient. We stayed over in a beautifully decorated room with everything you could need and our own garden area....

Welcome was slightly off putting. Sunday lunch was very good, and I enjoyed the pork bites as a starter. No wine list on the table.

A very big Thankyou to all the bar staff, waiting staff, & kitchen at The Crown Inn for a fabulous meal last night. We had a great evening. Very good Service & wonderful food. We’ll be back!!

Delightful bedroom, very well equipped with everything one might need and very peaceful as well as comfortable. Followed by a delicious breakfast ! Very helpful staff.

I met up with my brothers for an overnight stay plus breakfast. We had dinner, which was excellent. A very pleasant relaxed venue, which we all enjoyed. Thank you.

Last minute booking for The Snug to celebrate 80th Birthday with family. Email correspondence was good and received menus in advance to preorder. It was no trouble that some of us hadn’t pre-ordered all courses & those that had did have the opportunity to change...

Excellent service, great quality food in a lovely dining area Consistently delivers unlike so many of its competition

We had a lovely meal on Saturday evening. The slow roast pork was excellent, veggies were cooked to perfection.

Nice food and good real ale. Very friendly staff. Rooms clean and well presented - only downside was that my room was quite noisy from shower next door and kitchen clanging at 6am.

Stayed at the Crown Inn as part of a 3 week driving holiday around UK. Lovely little pub in the heart of the village of Elton in Cambridgeshire. Rooms are well appointed and very spacious compared to many Pub type accommodation in UK. King size...

We celebrated a family birthday here with friends and family - Sunday Roasts all round - service was great, food fabulous - would highly recommend!

A charming village inn I have known for years, but the first time I have stayed overnight. Very welcoming, but no introduction to accommodation. ThiS proved a little embarrassing when I could not find the ‘fridge. It is hidden in a cupboard at floor level...

Lovely cottage . Nice friendly staff .Soft chairs Time to enjoy the meal with out being hurry away.

We booked out all 8 superbly finished rooms, had an excellent meal in the evening and a hearty breakfast in the morning. Staff were amazing, check in was a doddle and the overall experience was simply wonderful. Top marks to Marcus, Xin and everyone else...

Slow food with only 10 diners, disappointing & very expensive for what it was! Thai curry full of potato & £5 surcharge for 4 prawns! Chips over salted & kofte kebab I’m sure came from Iceland! Bread (£5) turned up with starters not before. Food...

Faultless. Welcoming. Friendly locals. Comfortable rooms, impeccably presented. Food in the restaurant so good, spoilt for choice.

We recently enjoyed a two-night stay at The Crown Inn, in the Elton room. The room was spacious and well appointed, and had a large, comfortable bed. There was plenty of room to hang clothes and store other belongings. It was nice to have a...

Very expensive drinks (£4 for glass of water) but food was great but service was slow and they forgot the bread we asked for

We went because of the great location and good reviews. We really enjoyed the food, excellent cheerful service and the lovely surroundings.

The food was delicious, well presented. Service was good. A nice selection of dishes on the menu. Nice atmosphere in the restaurant. Would recommend.

Arrived after a run of disappointing stays elsewhere so quite jaded. Lovely room, nice food, great staff. Will be back.

We enjoyed our meal despite the fact that there was only one vegetarian main. The Goan Veg curry was very tasty. Had there been another option for vegetarians, we would have eaten there another evening while we were staying in Elton. As there wasn't one,...

Excellent gadtropub in a very pretty village. Met friends here for Sunday lunch. The menu hast something for everyone. Delicious Sunday roast beef lunch. Lots of flavours of icecreams available, which is great .. rather than the usual vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate at other places....

We had a family meal here on the recommendation of a nephew who used to be a publican in the area. We were not disappointed. The inn has a warm, friendly atmosphere, serves good beer and wine and a mean fish and chips (well, quite...

We needed to be near Grantham in the morning; and looked in the Good Beer Guide (being the only thing easily available at the time!) for somewhere to stop for a quick lunch on the way back south to Bedfordshire. The Crown Inn at Elton...

August bank holiday popped in for a drink,the beer was good but felt quite intimidated by the person serving behind the counter as well as the 2 regular gentlemen drinking at the counter.The Crown Inn is a lovely building but they need to do better...

Booked a table in advance very quaint thatched pub service very gd and portion size is huge would recommend.not sure why you have to wait to it’s yr time that you’ve booked before you can place yr order

We live locally and decided to visit the Crown Inn at Elton after seeing it in the Sunday Times “Top 30 Places to Eat” guide. Our general impression about it was just ok, nothing more and in our opinion it certainly doesn’t rank in the...

Stopped off here for Sunday lunch on our trip from Cumbria to Kent, as we'd been here in the past and had been impressed. Sadly the barmaid was doing a good impression of 'Kevin the teenager' whilst I put in the drinks order. When I...

Stopped off for lunch after having Kayaked from Yarwell Mill with my daughter. The food was very nice as was my pint of local ale JHB. Lovely surroundings and pub its just a shame the girl behind the bar was lacking in a smile, a...

We were a party of 6 for Sunday Lunch on a hot day. The restaurant was airconditioned and just right. 10 minutes after we took our seats the menus came. A lot later our order was taken and a lot later the food started arriving....

We chose this restaurant for a family get-together, there were twelve of us. We had a room to ourselves and one young man did the taking of meal choices and bringing of the food with a little help from another young man. He also brought...

Oh dear - a pub that would like to be a gastropub but without the necessary infrastructure!.As a family we have extensive experience of the hospitality industry and appreciate the stresses and strains that occur in the trade .However the keen eyed among reviewers will...

Myself and my partner have eaten here twice in the past week - this tells you enough of how much we have enjoyed it. We did find the service rather slow both times but the food is great so you can forgive this. We actually...

Comfortable without being overcrowded - tables not too close together. Roast beef cooked to perfection as were vegetables. Staff excellent - attentive but not intrusive, attended immediately to any requests, including offering an alternative for one person due to an allergy.

Great menu, good choice, friendly staff nice dinning area of the hotel which was cost and bright, great place

Either that or it will kill you if you eat too much. Great food, cooked well and the restaurant is tastefully finished off. Presentation was very good especially for a pub restaurant.

Elton is about halfway between home in Hampshire and our son's family in Co Durham. And as we have previously lunched at The Crown and liked it very much, especially as it's in such an attractive setting, decided to overnight there on our recent journeys...

We stayed here with friends en route to Norfolk, last Wednesday 20th June 2018. We booked two executive rooms and we were pleasantly surprised with the excellent decor and the level of equipment supplied.... especially the coffee pod machine in each room... excellent touch. The...

We arrived and were greeted warmly by a lovely young lady who showed us to our rooms - And all I can say is - WOW The rooms are simply stunning and are all very different All rooms are fitted out with coffee machines and...

Came with my husband on Saturday evening, never been before but we’ll definitely be coming back! . We eat out a lot but this place was head and shoulders above the rest! Awesome food excellent drinks and fantastic service, highly recommend!

So picture this... Daughters 8th birthday, sunny evening, picture perfect country (and local) pub and we are sitting outside. All is going swimmingly when we order our dinner; including my wife who orders (very clearly) her warm salmon salad with the hollandaise sauce on the...

Booked for Sunday lunch as we were traveling by boat on the river was not disappointed. It was my sons birthday and all 4 of us had the roast beef cooked to your liking it was delicious I would definitely recommend lovely location, great food...

Really pretty pub from the outside and the dining room is very pleasant. The food was good, well presented and well cooked. However the service, although friendly, was soooooooooo slow. It was a Saturday night but we were dining early and only two other tables...

Popped in for an evening meal with 2 friends on a Wednesday evening, they asked how many I said for 4 , just one moment as no problem then the bartender said sorry residents only, checked for availability for rooms and found not to be...

We stayed for one night. The bar is quite small, but homely and welcoming with a roaring open fire. The owners own brew is on tap and was a very nice pint too. Our room was spacious, tastefully decorated and the bathroom huge and decorated...

As expected a busy day! Booked for Sunday lunch, a three course meal. Good selection on the menu. The beef roast was excellent with plenty of fresh vegetables. All the food was of good quality & piping hot. The service was friendly & attentive but...

Met up with a friend at the Crown equidistant for us both so very convenient. The standard of the room was excellent very clean, lovely toiletries and good selection of tea and coffee. Our evening meal was of a high standard with good presentation of...

It’s the 3rd time I’ve stayed here and the first 2 were great. Tonight as I write this music and loud voices, I came up at 10.30 and the bar closed. Not sure where the noise is coming from but it’s certainly spoilt my evening!...

Was on a dinner bed and breakfast deal staying for 2 nights, what a gem this place is. Close enough for where I need to be, but it's well worth the extra drive for the amazing food. The Ham hock croquets were incredible and the...

We have eaten here a couple of times of late and both times were thoroughly enjoyable, we arrived to a very warm welcome from the bar staff and an equally as welcoming log fire, we were given the choice to eat in the bar or...
