The Crown in Bath and North East Somerset

The Crown at Bashford, Bath Nestled in the charming surroundings of Bashford, The Crown is a welcoming and cozy pub that offers a delightful experience, even for a light visit. We stopped by for soft drinks and teas, accompanied by a selection of desserts, and were thoroughly impressed. Each sweet treat was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, showcasing a real attention to detail in both flavor and texture. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, creating a warm and relaxed atmosphere that made us feel right at home. Although we didn’t explore the main menu this time, the quality of what we did have has certainly left us eager to return. If you’re in the area and looking for great service in a comfortable setting, The Crown at Bashford is well worth a visit.

Great pub! The staff were super friendly and helpful. Food was delicious with good portion sizes. We will be back!

Excellent service and a very walm welcome this weekend ❤️ would definitely recommend this place. Dog friendly and the staff are so welcoming. Bless the barmaid even offered to come save us should we miss the bus top again. Will definitely call again when we stay on the campsite opposite 👌🏼

Beautiful building with a great menu and beer selection 👍

Popped in for lunch with our granddaughter. Really warm and friendly welcome in great surroundings. Helpful staff and good food. Can't fault it. Busy, despite the nearby floods.

Really nice food. Great service, even a game of pool available. Super friendly

Fantastic atmosphere, food and drinks. Kyle in particular who served us was great and made sure we had everything we needed. 5 stars.

Un almuerzo de domingo realmente excelente. Tanto el cordero y el wellington vegetal eran excelentes. Perfectamente cocinado de verduras y queso de coliflor que en realidad sabía a queso! Deliciosa salsa y una carta de vinos muy interesante. Precio muy razonable para la comida de esa calidad y el personal encantador.

Fantastic menu. Food and service. Will be back

Veggie Sunday roast was awesome and staff super friendly and helpful!!

Buena comida, tenía una hamburguesa fabulosa. Súper servicio, no podría ser mejor. Pub un poco cansado, pero muy acogedor de hecho. Admite perros.

a cute proper local pub, food a little over priced but everyone is nice and food is pretty good

Nice pub portions bit small for the price

Nice big pub with great decor and garden. Food is better than average, but way way overpriced. They also add 10% service charge on too. In a pub! Very friendly staff.

Lovely large Sunday roast in a beautiful pub garden.

Me hubiera encantado darle a este pub una calificación más alta. Vinimos aquí un año más o menos para almorzar y tenía marcado como una posible parada cada vez que estábamos de paso. Primero los puntos buenos. Ambiente bien, el personal muy amable, la comida muy buena y porciones generosas. No tan bueno. Un olor muy rancio y desagradable en todo el edificio, los bancos de la pared parecían estar cubiertos de tiraderos que no solo eran sucios y necesitaban un lavado urgente, sino que olían a cuerpos rancios. Todo el pub está en necesidad de un cambio de imagen y una renovación que mejoraría enormemente el ambiente y el interior, si esto sucediera le daría al menos una calificación de 4 pip, tal vez incluso uno más alto. Tal como está, dudo que volvamos a visitarlo, pero... una gran lástima.

Cenamos anoche como regalo de aniversario. Precioso pub con personal muy acogedor y hospitalario. Los champiñones al ajo como entrada fueron excelentes. Mains de galleta de pollo y un plato compartido (probablemente no suficiente para 2 ) de ciabatta, tomates con aliño de aceite de oliva (esposa comentó necesitan algo de aliño balsámico también) jamón de parma, pinchos de pollo y chorizo embutido , todo estaba delicioso. Desafortunadamente no hay lugar para pud. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

Great service, amazing food. Friendly.

Absolutamente fantástico! El personal es fantástico Tengo problemas dietéticos y fueron brillantes conmigo. La comida es absolutamente deliciosa! Tenía una hamburguesa y estaba cocinada a la perfección. Son hamburguesas caseras y realmente son deliciosas! El pub/restaurante en sí mismo es encantador y vintage y el ambiente es alegre y genial! También puedo recomendar encarecidamente el pudín de toffee pegajoso que es hermoso! Le daría más estrellas a este lugar si pudiera. Gracias a todo el personal por visitarnos.

Visited for the first time in a while, and was impressed with the service, food, beer and the atmosphere. We should visit more often!

Decent food, nice seating area outside with a little play area for the kids.

Stopped here on Sunday lunch time, there was no atmosphere at all. But we stopped due to the little one needing feeding. My partner and i had a roast, it was very poor. All reheated and the gravy with it was as black as tar and no flavour. Since Sunday evening we both haven't not been well and only meal we both ate the same as each other to both be poorly.

Hele gezellige pub/restaurant. Authentiek ingericht. Menu is simpel maar goed. Bediening is fantastisch. Leuke mensen! Als je wilt kan je er ook een potje poolen.

Lovely place, Food is amazing and the service is outstanding!

Nothing special expected sausage and chips child meal came out as sausage and mash. Had a knickerbocker glory for afters it was horrible bits of apple in it?

Four of us and our dog stopped here for evening meal. Disappointed to find that two of our starters and a main unavailable. What we did have was good and portions were on the large side. Real ale and wine all good. We ate outside where there is a nice garden.

Friendly and polite staff, excellent food, great atmosphere. This was pur first visit, but we will be back.

We were looking for a meeting point where we could relax with our dogs and our relatives. We chose this pub and we were surprised as the garden is well laid out, excellent seating not too close to each other. Then we ordered food, it was very very good. We will be back very soon. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Best bit, it has become a Free House, great beer too.

The Crown is such a nice pub the three people (2xF, 1xM) working behind the bar on Saturday evening 20th July were exceptional, super friendly, helpful and really hard working. The food was different from your usual pub fare but the butternut squash and beetroot cobbler was one of the best pub meals I’ve had in a long time. Popped back in there Sunday afternoon and sat in the sunshine in their large and quirky garden. This is the sort of pub I’d love as my local and that says it all. Thanks and well done to all involved

Really friendly, relaxed vibe and nice food

Lovely food, great beer garden and the back. Dog friendly. Staff are always great

£23 for fish and chips you off yr head. No P. No Battery on my fish. Service was rubbish to. There say the customer is always right.but not here.. What's a complete rip off...

Stopped off here to get refreshments as we had been hiking for a couple of hours. Decide to have a pint of lager which was very nicely welcomed. Then, we decided we would have a bite to eat, which was garlic mushrooms with potatoes skinned fries. I had 10 mushrooms, and my wife had 9, so I thought, what a bonus that was until I got the aftertaste. Couldn't really taste the garlic, but was left with a taste of fat🤢. The mushrooms were £9.00 plus bowl of fries for £4.00. Now I don't mind paying good money as long as I get a good return, which I clearly didn't. I could have complained, but this would have only been a resolution for myself and my wife. I feel that if you are in a position of serving food, then it should always be presentable and tasty. Please take guidance from this to help other customers enjoy their meals.

A delicious pub meal in the garden on a summer's evening, returning with our Dad who lived in the village in the 1940s! Lovely staff and good service. Would definitely recommend and hope to return one day Very grateful to the chef for the wide selection of GF food on the menu, as a coeliac this was greatly appreciated. Thank you.

We visited The Crown while on a barge holiday. There were six of us and we were all impressed. The staff were friendly and the service good. As for the food it was well cooked and presented well. I had the slow cooked pork and it was tender and well cooked. We all said we would definitely return if in the area again. I would highly recommend The Crown.

Dropped in as we were passing the day after a night out. Good welcome, nice beer garden, good food. Wonderful interior decor including marvelous antique cat replicas (not actually taxidermy!) #frescos

We have visited this restaurant on Bank holiday Sunday. I have picked 3 item from the menu , what was not available. Then we ordered a stake - what was £20 but the portion was a smallest I ever seen not even peppercorn sauce. I ordered Veggie burger ,what was so plain, no flavour, no noting. Was so disappointed as it was nice traditional pub, and for that price , I would expect more and better quality.

A really lovely country pub. Delicious Sunday roast with small or large options. The garden is gorgeous with plenty of seating and a Wendy house for the kids. Would heartily recommend this place, it’s lovely!!!!

Stayed in Batheaston for a few days and visited here 3 times. Good food, drink and service. Was nice also that they had a good selection of zero alcohol beers/ciders too.

It was early mid week - so quiet. Friendly attentative staff. Good menu variety. Delicious, well cooked food. Certainly will visit again.

Nice garden, shaded from the sun. Good choice of beer. Disappointing that they had run out of basic food items, Saturday going into a bankholiday weekend - Burger buns and Bacon.

Nice place, visited on Sunday,Monday and Tuesday, each night ran out of the beer I was drinking, ended up going elsewhere,

What a joy to see standards are being kept up in this splendid place. My Wife and I brought Her Dad here a while ago. He was a Chelsea Pensioner and dressed in His full scarlet uniform brought the whole pub to a standstill. The generosity and respect shown by the (then) staff has stayed with Us. Wishing you All the best of wishes, Andy and Maggie, East Bristol.

Had great vegan burgers, excellent beer and service! 10/10, perfect way to end a long walk up from Bath.

Nice place where you can find quality cuisine.

Great tasty food and service. Ella in particular was so hard working. Much appreciated. Recommend this pub.

Possibly the best Grilled Halloumi cheese sandwich ever - really delicious, and lovely service/ atmosphere

Didn't have food just drinks but a very nice place to sit

A bit noisy, good atmosphere in one way but could hardly hear the other one speaking during dinner. Nice food.

Good roast dinner. Service was very good and friendly.

Great place to dine but no beer today

Such a lovely pub! Great sunday roast and super friendly staff. Made us feel very welcome with our pup!

Great little pub worth a visit,staff were friendly

A good local pub for a drink but the food isn't great, particularly considering the price point. The vegetarian food really isn't good at all and the kids tomato pasta is just a tin of chopped tomato's poured over spaghetti.....no effort made to produce a decent sauce. Another small gripe is that the ancient Heinz Ketchup bottles are obviously refilled with a cheap brand. The bar staff are always good.....attentive and chatty. My real issue lately is that there is clearly someone on site who either lives or works there.....perhaps both, who smokes weed and the pub stinks of it! I have no problem with someone doing so but I don't need to smell it around the bar area while I'm with my family. Unfortunately it's meant us heading a little further to the Northey Arms.

Fabulous experience! Amazing Sunday Roast!

We organised for 30 friends a get together for a big birthday. There was another birthday party on the other side of the pub. This did not detract from the service and quality. The food was prompt and delicious. The personable service was brilliant and everyone remarked how lovely the evening was. Thank you The Crown.

We booked a table last Sunday at short notice. The staff were very friendly, and helpful. The food was delicious, hot and a very varied menu especially for a a Sunday menu. The staff where friendly and welcoming and they accommodated all 4 adults and a baby in a High Chair. Highly recommended.

Fantastic gastro pub (dog friendly) to come and have lunch with Friends and family. Great homemade ingredients,(try the Lamb or chicken burger, you won’t be disappointed) really relaxed atmosphere with great staff. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Super pub, lovely atmosphere. We booked a table for 14 for our belated Christmas meal. Food delivered was piping hot and all served quickly. Delicious tasty food. Friendly bar and waiting staff. Thank you

Been passing this pub for 3 years , called in for lunch today 2 of us , pleasantly surprised , nice decor and a good menu! Open fires made the difference , we are fairly local and will call by again ! Thanks guys .

Lovely pub but expensive for what food you get.

Friendly pub with a very good menu and a decent range of beers. Staff were pleasant and service was efficient. Food was reasonably priced.

Very lumpy mash. On the Sausage and mash. Some lumps uncooked

The food here is incredible! Very tasty and massive portions. The service is even better, very polite and friendly! I would highly recommend coming here!

Absolutely lovely place, popped in on our way to centre parcs and got a table straight away, nice and busy with a cozy friendly atmosphere, dog was welcome too! What can I say about the food…… amazing 10/10 we had sausage and mash aswell as steak and chip and woooow…delicious, will definitely go back! Well worth the 30 min drive! Thank you

Overpriced for drinks A pint of coke for £4 considering it can out of a 1.5l bottle Ashtrays with fag ends inside the pub

For well over a decade now I have been writing for Trip Advisor; at the age of 62 I have been dining out for more years than I care to remember. We came to Bath for a few days break before the Christmas rush just for a bit of a break. We have stayed next door for four nights. For the first time, EVER, we have found ourselves dining at the same location for four nights consecutively ! The Crown for us has ticked all the boxed and provided enough variety of menu to sustain us for a differing dining experience each of the four nights. The quality of the food and the quality of the service is second to none. Today, Sunday, they were totally booked out for Sunday Lunch and frankly this does not happen if you are just average. We dined this evening and I had steak. For £19 this was very good indeed and superbly cooked. The annual decorations for Christmas complimented the pub so superbly and as a further treat we had live music on Thursday night. This happens every Thursday and is quite an experience, some pictures here along with food pictures. In short there have been a few negative comments but these are so far from our experiences. It looks like The Crown are now going to get very busy for Christmas and this alone speaks volumes. If you can get by for even just a drink do pop in you’ll love it. If however you can stay for a meal I can add you will not be disappointed. We have stayed next door at The Cedars (which you will find me writing about elsewhere) which is a very short bus ride from the City of Bath centre and only £1.50 single. The combination of these two experiences has been superb.

Brilliant food, a hidden gem. French cuisine, exceptional. We'll be back!

Lived in Bath for years & has never been inside until yesterday. What a great place! Lad behind bar was friendly, very accommodating & provided excellent service. Food was delicious and the chef took full account (and more) of my (numerous) dietary needs. Thoroughly enjoyed my lunch. Prices very reasonable in my opinion.

DISAPPOINTED WITH THE CROWN AS WE WERE RECOMMENDED TO TRY IT. MENU WAS DISAPPOINTING. LIMITED SELECTION OF MEALS. FOOD WAS OKAY/AVERAGE. HAD 5 OR 6 ZERO BEERS TO CHOOSE FROM WHICH WAS GOOD AS WE WERE DRIVING. FELT LIKE THE PLACE HAD SEEN BETTER TIMES.

Very nice, wonderful location too.

Lovely relaxed pub with friendly staff. Had the croque monsieur and a few pints, very tasty and refreshing. Would happily visit again.

Update: changed management since last there, bar food Very nice and enjoyed the live music on Thursdays...

Great local pub friendly staff good food. Full of character and more often than not characters.

Went for a Sunday lunch with friends. Absolutely beautiful food. The portions were amazing (though 2 Yorkshire puddings would have been better!) and everyone praised the vegetables. Service was impeccable and we even had puddings as we didn't want to leave. 2 and a half hours later we headed home very full and very happy. Well worth the drive.

Watched South Africa vs New Zealand rugby 🏉 match 🎉🎉 a World Cup final. Nice place to watch - maybe the television could be bigger for sports matches

Lovely atmosphere, nice food. Super friendly staff. Thank you guys.

Piping hot wonderful food. Great cheerful service. A great birthday experience after a lovely walk to Brown’s folly.

I can definitely recommend the food, but the service was very slow as the poor barmaid was on her own, she was working so hard. That said the food was great and we really like the feel of the place, a proper pub, plus it's dog friendly which wax perfect for us. Food not overpriced.

The super classic pub, very good!! Very typical of the area and the kindness of the Argentine bartender made everything very easy for us, the food was super delicious and very good price quality!! highly recommended

We were very fortunate to win a dinner for two at a recent Breast Cancer fundraiser, that had been donated by The Crown. The staff were super helpful and friendly. The Guinness was well poured and tasted great. The vegetable soup tasted home made, the mussels were as always fantastic. The croque monsieur with chips and salad was a large portion and very tasty. Definitely recommend The Crown to any visitors to Bathford.

Absolutely lovely pub, staff really friendly. Little wait on food ( was peak time and they did pre worn us when we walked in) food was very good and offer great gluten free options would definitely recommend.

Excellent service. Good food at reasonable prices with a great selection.

Popped in for a quick snack, polite lady behind the bar, large choice of dishes on the menu, will visit again when in the area.

Staff were lovely & service was good but unfortunately we had to send back one of our meals. It was a simple dish - sausage & mash - hard to get wrong, but the sausages were dried out and the skin was burnt black. When a replacement meal came out, sadly it was much the same.

They were able to accommodate an 11 person walk in on a Friday evening. The service and food were excellent.

The food was amazing on the both nights we ate there. The ladies who served us drinks and food were amazing. Really welcomed us like locals.

Lovely quirky traditional pub, warm, welcoming and friendly. Staff great. Very good food choices all delicious.Highly recommend.

Called in on way to Cornwall from Leeds and loved this place, great food and gave a great feeling, definitely recommend.

Tried out the new beer garden which was very nice with numerous structures and seating areas for around. Good beer as always.

Great service we thought there was a real cat in there but it was great

Great food, very friendly staff.

The food was nice and the service was friendly to begin with. I then found a big blue fly cooked inside my chicken pie, so I sent it back to the kitchen, the chef told me it wasn't their fault and must have got in while I was eating it, which it 100% did not. Pretty awful response to a mistake in the kitchen. And then they still asked me to pay £17 for the pie which I could only eat half of. Really disappointing end to a nice experience initially.

Lovely pub and delicious food but the actual seating and upholstery etc were grubby and old.

Booked a table for a Sunday Roast Up, a small family celebration for my other half’s birthday. Unique setting, great menu & attentive staff who worked phenomenally as team. Food was ace & generously portioned for the price, will definitely be back.

Very popular local pub and comfortably scruffy if you like that kind of thing. French influences with food. Bit like a French local cafe in a village. The beef Borgnine was a bit of a disappointment, the jus should have been reduced to improve the flavour and presentation ( watery stew) The mussels in wine and garlic were also disappointing . Lovely fat mussels in watery fluid ( couldn’t taste wine or garlic and a ton of onions) The chips however were fab! Saw others having burgers which looked substantial. Very laid back and bit grubby. Our table was so sticky I couldn’t rest my arm on it, kind of put me off. If you want a very relaxed informal eatery then this would suit you, for us we scored it 5/10.

Love it here! Been for lunch and dinner on several occasions and it never disappoints. Food is always delicious with generous portions. Really friendly staff and the pub itself is quirky with a great atmosphere.

What a great little pub, glad we stopped for lunch (Sunday) after driving past many many times. And we will again! The food was delicious and home made with love, the staff we friendly and polite (particularly Louis), and the pub was that perfect mix of homely British boozer and well dressed cottage style. Really lovely 👏

Dreadful service, staff seem distracted and more interested in chatting with each other than serving customers, over 45 mins wait on a quiet evening from starter to main. Food is either microwaved boiling hot or mildly warm. The kids pasta was disgusting tasting and needs fixing, I wouldn't feed it to the gulls let alone my son. A real shame and a big let down of a meal, as the pub has great character and design, but it clearly needs a boot up the backside from management and a better chef in the kitchen. Don't market yourself as a Bistro pub if you're only a half arsing it.
