The Crown in Isle of Anglesey

Going on the strength of other reviews, we booked a table in the dog friendly area of The Crown. Having had and a 2 hour walk beforehand, a well deserved refuelling stop. Quite chilly in that area of the pub. Cheap lunch menu. Specials board more expensive. We had Scampi & fries, small battered cod & chips. Both came with peas. I had much higher expectations and was disappointed in the portion size(5 scampi pieces). Would consider giving it another try sometime, go in the evening and dine in the restaurant area. Pay the more expensive dinner prices, in the hope that the food would not be cooked from frozen and the portion sizes would be satisfying.

Our booked-in party of five were warmly welcomed, COVID checked and seated in the quiet room left of the entrance There were two other occupied tables. All of our food and drink was carefully prepared, well presented and delicious. I was served the wrong beer with the drinks order. I said I would be happy to try it anyway. I was told they would change it free of charge if it turned out I didn’t like it. But I did. Lots of goodwill all round. Pork roast dinner was excellent. Beef equally good and served well done as requested. Best meal we had in our week on the island.

Brilliant time at the Crown, super COVID Safe, as always excellent beers, staff as friendly and helpful as always, excellent food, steak pie again, other meals that were being served all looked really tasty, Can’t wait to visit our go too pub on Anglesey

Rude… I get the impression that they are okay with regulars. I just wished we could have got through the door without all the demands that was ordered to us .

Booked table for Sunday lunch whilst staying in Aberffraw. We had tasty thick snd tender slices of roast pork with crackling. Delicious. This was served with roast and mashed potato Yorkshire puddings plus stuffing with gravy. All accompanied by a fish of freshly cooked vegetables. A proper ‘ homemade ‘ roast but also nicely servedGood choice of desserts. We had one big portion of apple crumble and a serving of homemade rice pudding. The rice pudding was like your gran used to make ! So creamy it must have had a generous amount of cream added Highly recommended

Lovely food, friendly staff and good covid safety measures. We really enjoyed our meal and will definitely go back next time we are in the area. Glad we booked a table as it was quite busy.

Hubby and I went for an evening meal. The steak and ale and fish pie were both excellent and hubby said that the chips were delicious. There are only five tables in the eating area of the pub so booking is definitely advisable.

Great food, homemade steak pie for me and spicy balti for my husband. Both were really tasty. Friendly staff. Great value for money. We’ll be back.

Wow, simply wow, food brilliant for a Coastal village pub that’s just being what it is, very reasonable prices, beers and wines all great and good choice , Staff are all really friendly and cannot praise the COVID set up , by far the best we came across on Anglesey, we have been coming here for a number of years and so pleased they have weathered the COVID storm, We need small village pubs to be the hub of community and this ticks all the boxes, few others have passed comments about the food, in all our years coming here we haven’t had a bad meal, if there had been a problem , we said something to the staff instead of being keyboard warriors, I don’t know why people bash small pubs, speak to the staff, it goes for any place anyone visit

really not that good: chips soggy, pasta slimy, gammon tough. prices not too bad tho, just worse that what i would expect from a cheap pub :(

We turned up without booking and was greated by the door by a pleasant man. He explained there was a wait for food about 40 minutes to an hour. We stayed and had drinks while waiting to have food. Amazing covid checks. The best we have been so far. You could see they where busy as the dinning room was all booked up and the bar filled with drinkers locals I think (who where so lovely towards us)There was 5 of us (4 adults and 1 toddler plus a dog) we sat outside and within minutes was greated by a very cheery and bubble staff member, she was very quick in getting our drinks. We never went with out drinks and was always asked if we where okay. (Which you don't get everywhere) thank you to the girl with the short hair and glasses and the man with dark hair. Who always checked on us and the dog we got the food within the time frame we where given and we are so glad we waited for it. Worth the wait for sure. We got an extra plate for my little one and she enjoyed everything we had .Food amazing, staff amazing and so polite.If your walking anywhere by Aberffraw I would advice you to visit The Crown 100%

Stopped off today during a walk, best COVID checks I have encountered, well done, food tasty and wine even nicer, well done guys 😎👍

Very covid safe and friendly, helpful staff. We had a Sunday roast and steak and ale pie. Both delicious.

Visited the crown on a number of occasions never been disappointed always great service, food is superb both in quality and value for money, tried the take away service today with the weather being so nice and once again it was excellent. Many thanks

Food a disappointment - chips rather ordinary, deesert dreadful - an extremely stodgy crumble with tinned sliced peaches. (why not summer fruits?). Covid safety arrangements very good. A quiet village. - its situation on the edge of the estuary in the evening wonderful.

Came upon this place by chance yesterday and was pretty much blown away! We had a really warm welcome and sat in the garden out back. Very quick service and the steak and ale pie was divine - my friend said the tagliatelle was the best she's tasted. We didn't stay long as we had a long drive ahead, but kinda wished we had. Compliments to the staff and the chef and I really regret not tipping - we had to leave suddenly and I thought it was included! I'll be back soon to tip twice as much! :)

I visited The Crown on a Saturday afternoon. I had half a pint (Welsh Pride) which was perfectly cold and very delicious. The service was excellent, and the woman who served me was very friendly and didn’t feel rushed at all, despite it seeming relatively busy. The other staff were also very cheerful and the atmosphere was lovely. I had a great fish and chips, with honestly the best chips I’ve ever had in a pub, reminded me of homemade chips my mum used to make (maybe a little better, sorry Mum!).Sticky toffee pudding was huge and very moist, with a great amount of sauce and custard, I couldn’t finish it and that’s a rare thing for dessert! Regretted not popping the leftovers in my bag but arguably it’s not the most portable dessert. Would definitely come back next time I’m in Aberffraw.

Friendly, professional service - well organised despite Covid restrictions. Good choice of home-cooked ; fried haloumi cheese starter, splendid! - Steak & Ale Pie was a great success. Wife enjoyed a nice rump steak with pepper sauce. V good house wines and superb local ales. Well-mannered staff.Definitely return and recommend to others

Visited with friends whilst staying in the village, nice pub with decent food and we were impressed by the service. Everyone was friendly and went out of their way to help us. Great place, thanks for looking after us.

I can’t praise this place enough! The Covid health and safety is second to none. The service was quick and friendly, and the food is great and reasonably well priced as the drinks. Not to mention a great location after a lovely long walk to build up an appetiteAlso dog friend so our cocker had a lovely relaxing time

Excellent take awayI had their famous steak pie, and it tasted wonderful, generous portions of chip, well cooked vegatables and good gravy! Yum! My wife had the vegetarian tagliatelle which she also enjoyed. The ordering was easy and the pickup simple. It was a busy evening for them and they did their best to fit other people in. Diolch yn fawr iawn i Coron

First visit to the Crown but it certainly won't be our last, we had a lovely meal I can recommend the steak pie and have to say it's one of the best I've ever had. It's not just the food though the staff are all so welcoming and friendly also they are taking great care over the covid precautions so you feel safe once inside.You deserve to do well and I hope you go from strength to strength hopefully we will see you soon

Was staying with family locally. Decided to go for a couple of drinks late afternoon and take food back to the house. Food served from 6pm. Staff very friendly and gave us a lead time for food. Food was great. Didn’t think takeaway from a pub would be as good but would recommend. As others have said this pub is COVID safe and staff very attentive and friendly.

A lovely little pub with good food and very welcoming staff - Emma was great with the kids! We would definitely go back and recommend!

The Crown is a great pub and has a welcoming feel and totally COVID safe. They have a super tablet at the door which takes your temp and the staff are so polite.We where sat down and given a few drinks menus while lady went to get us the food menu ( don't remember her name but she had pink glasses on) she was very quick to serve us and always made sure we never waited for a drink. ( I would advice to book a table as they where fully booked when I called). They also don't do tabs in the garden but is wasn't a problem for us to pay as we ordered food and drinks. They have 2 kinds of menus a lunch time and evening we did wait for the evening one to start which was only 15 minutes. We had the belly porks from the special bored, steak pies and a crown burger. Food was excellent. Service was excellent and we will return again P.S don't change a thing!

I had a take away Sunday lunch from The Crown and it was fantastic! A great size portion of good home cooked food at a very reasonable price. I will definitely be going here again.

We had a week in Aberffraw and ate at the Crown 3 times... that alone should say something! Great food and wine at a good price; efficient service; lovely staff - and very Covid-compliant 😄

Really hospitable; the landlord called me back to offer an earlier table - good food, moretti on tap and really pleasant staff. All the covid bits and bobs in place too.

First time eating since the Crown re opened , felt safe with the covid safeguards in place , and screens in the dining room. As before excellent Sunday lunch, and plenty of GF options on the menu, also lite lunches now included.. The passion fruit cheesecake was moorish. The staff were cheerful and efficient as always.

This is our first visit to this area of Anglesey, although been holidaying here for nearly 60 years. The Crown is a great island pub & has a welcoming feel & ambience ( & totally COVID safe). The bar & food offer is straight forward & simply excellent. As recommended the Steak & Ale pie is superb with chips & lashings of gravy. The service from Donna, Steve & the team was also superb. I can only say the proof is in the “Pie eating”.Do not miss this place when on the island.

Wonderful lunch in The Crown’s large outdoor/garden area. Staff were helpful and attentive and every possible precaution was in place to allow diners to feel safe.

Brilliant Pub, Great to see the Crown re open , Although a small pub, Covid measures are in place, fantastic Body temperature Camera as soon as you enter, Beers and Food as fabulous as it was before, A must visit place when on Anglesey

Been here a few times with my dad. Excellent Covid facilities. There is an iPad which you stand in front of that records your temperature and then allows you access to the pub. Very friendly staff, good tasty food! Definitely recommend you book as it hasn’t many tables especially now it’s reduced and allowing social distancing.

Great to see our local pub is back open, so we went along for a pint and a bite to eat. Great staff Great food Great Covid-19 precautions

Had a great meal at the Crown - nice little dinning room - food was good and the price good too - will definitely be back.

Very friendly relaxed place - not pretentious just proper village pub, we'll head back next time we're on Anglesey

This cosy dog friendly pub does lovely home cooked meals in there small dining room. If the dog is with you then you can eat in the bar. All very friendly and welcoming.

Called in for a late lunch on a blowy day, having enjoyed a walk down to the nearby beach. Our soggy doggie was welcomed in the bar area and happily sat drying off by the log burner. The next door (dog free) dining area looked lovely but we were comfortable where we were. My husband had the steak pie and I had lasagne ( he was disappointed the belly pork wasn’t available). Both were tasty although his vegetables were a bit limp! The landlord was chatty and welcoming and the price with drinks very reasonable. Worth a visit.

Called in a real stormy day, what a great little haven to come back too, glad they were serving food at lunchtime and had Gammon and Chips, Mrs had Curry, both superb quality and we both enjoyed a few pints of the real ale, Mrs noticed the great gin choice, will be back in early spring , Well done Crown

We visited the Crown having seen good reviews on here. We were not disappointed! The food was lovely, particularly the roast beef. There was also a good choice of Welsh ales. It was quite busy when we arrived but we got a seat on the dog friendly side of the bar (our dog was particularly pleased to be given a biscuit by one of the staff!). We were advised when ordering that there could be a 30-40 minute wait for food which was ok with us but it wasn't even that long. Friendly staff, excellent service, lovely food and reasonably priced, what more could you want! Would definitely recommend and we'll definitely return.

First visit in the summer by myself, I was keen this time to take my wife. Through nobody's fault we ended up on a tight schedule and had to be in an out quite quickly. Fortunately we were there as service started and so got first through the kitchen. I had the home made steak pie (same as last time!) but was slightly disppointed to see it was burnt around rge edges. My wife had te fish pie which she exclaimed was delicious. Thank you to the wonderful staff who served us - we look forward to coming again.

The village of Aberffrraw is a off the beaten path in Anglesey. It is on the southern coast road, but well worth deviating from the A5 to visit. The Crown is a lovely pub in the village with good food and very friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

We remembered The Crown from previoyus visits to Anglesey, the last time being 3 years ago. It was excellent then but even better now! This is the ideal village pub. The cask ales are superbly kept and the food is superb.As before, we had a warm welcome and the atmosphere was friendly with a good mix of locals and visitors. We popped in on 3 or 4 occasions last week and each time it was spot on. The outside area has a nice addition to when we last came too.Probably the best pub in Anglesey and certainly you won't get a better pint of cask ale.

Friendly and local pub. Small cosy and inviting dining area. The steak pie was my husbands comfort food. I had a yummy fish pie. Wish this was my local pub. Would definitely come back when in the area again.

wow the food was amazing & the service was spot on...super friendly & dog friend too...recommended very much

Found this pub by accident as we were looking for the Tea Rooms. Staff are really friendly and the menu is great.

Excellent food, very tasty and piping hot, value for money and staff very proficient. Will definitely be going again.

Fab little pub , the staff are nice the customer service is excellent, as for the food it’s delicious, I have had lasagne and it’s cheesy , filling and tasty , also the steak pie wow , fantastic and delicious with a jug of gravy , it’s fabulously meaty, they also do take away on all there food . We have had Sunday lunch there, it is excellent but it doesn’t beat the golf club in Rhosneigr, that is very good value. The prices in the crown are average. It’s a tiny place so you do need to book unless your very lucky. I will return here as I do like the pub itself and I’ve not had a bad meal here with my partner.

We had an amazing lunch here Sunday. Starting with Garlic mushrooms. A lovely roast pork dinner and a fantastic steak pie with homemade chips and gravy. Finished off with a sticky toffee pudding, delicious. All the staff were really happy and couldn't do enough for us, very helpful.

Called in for lunch and it was brilliant, steak pie as everyone says is simply the best, They now have 3 Ales to choose from, Staff as always really friendly, my Fav place on Anglesey

Apart from the food being first class I can’t remember staff being so happy at work . Three ladies with prompt polite service all three laughing and joking all night ! I’d recommend the Steak Pie. I ordered Cheese board for one but it would’ve fed us both with some left over . Arrive here hungry ! Lovely ales and wine

Lovely small local pub in Aberffraw , gorgeous food , would definitely recommend. Had soup & garlic mushrooms for starters & Gammon for mains.

Having looked on TA for dog friendly pubs as the weather is so changeable at the moment we found the Crown

We come to Anglesey every year and the last three have been going to this pub a couple of times each holiday. The food has always been excellent - fab roast beef and steak & ale pie!! The staff are very friendly and very reasonably priced. Could not fault it.

A wonderful welcome to my husband, spaniel & me, in a friendly atmosphere. I had scampi which was beautifully presented & tasted even better than it lookedMy husband had steak pie & he said it was gorgeousAfter we went & sat outside in sunshine & watched other people enjoying good food whilst we enjoyed coffeeStaff were lovelyThoroughly recommend

Very clean, cosy, with helpful staff. Pub has small rooms with various places to sit, inside and outside.

While in Anglesey for a week, we visited the Crown 3 times, twice for dinner and once for lunch!

Very well priced for the portion sizes. The belly pork and pie were fantastic. Would recommend to anyone passing looking for a good meal.

I had a rump steak. It was cooked to perfection. The home made chips were to die for and the trimmings spot on, including the mushroom sauce which the waitress offered as an alternative to the pepper sauce (I'm not a pepper corn sauce fan). In fact the mushroom sauce was so good it made the whole dinner simply perfect.

We did a dog walk around the headland of Aberffraw and called in for lunch. Ordered drinks at the bar,very nice pint of local ale and picked up a menu. We had Brie and bacon sandwiches,Welsh rarebit open sandwich and two bowls of chips. On ordering we were warned it would be an hours wait,which was fine as we’d just got more drinks. Twenty minutes later the food turned up,bonus!!

We ate here tonight and had lovely food and welcome from the staff. Would recommend to anyone. They even welcomed our dog.

Visited the Crown on Thursday 22nd, food as always brilliant and they now have 3 real ales to choose from, Staff were excellent as we had a power cut just as we were having pudding, Candles were put out so we could carry on enjoying our meal, So even the power cut made our a experience more memorable, We were served by Kerry and Dylan both really knowledgable and really friendly, will definitely be back

What can I say, this is a must visit, we tried to get a table for the last 2 years (on our weeks holiday here)after seeing the reviews on trip advisor and I’m so glad we kept trying, we had the steak and ale pie which was amazing, chilli con carne, gammon steak, fish pie, scampi and kids sausage n mash and kids chicken goujons and Alabama-hot fudge-cake xx Dylan was a great host and waiter

Beautiful steaks and amazing puddings, big portions! Nice wine as well. Reasonable prices, car park down the hill left hand side of the pub.

Found this lovely place after searching the web for a good evening meal. We were not disappointed and between us tried the steak and ale pie, scampi and lasagne and the sticky toffee pudding was to die for! Food was as all excellent and a nice cosy atmosphere. We came back two nights later and tried other dishes. Will definitely come back when we return to Anglesey. Staff were also friendly and welcoming.

As a party of 10 you might expect a delay in meals arriving together but no, everything arrived at the table at the same time, all hot and all delicious (so I was told). We always get excellent service and good food.

We went to this little old country pub for lunch and were not disappointed. The service and food were really good and the price reasonable. Well worth a visit. We’ll definitely be back.

We visited for lunch and wow what a decision. Three of us had the steak and ale pie and quite frankly it was magnificent!! Sumptuous steak, gorgeous pastry, cracking homemade chips, lovely fresh veg.

We really really enjoyed our evening at this pub. We and our 2 black labs were made to feel soooo welcome. The food was tasty and of a high standard We sat outside and we followed it up with Sticky toffee pudding .... yummy.

Dog friendly pub. Visited for dinner. Food was nice especially the chips. Good value for money. Staff were all very friendly. Would visit again.

For variety on our holiday we decided to visit another part of the island and so we ended up in Aberffraw near the coast. A different type of countryside but interesting to visit. We also needed to eat and so we looked for a recommendation from Trip Adviser and received The Crown. A good recommendation as the service was excellent and the food was delicious. Highly recommended.

Visited for lunch. A small pub but with a massive beer garden at the back. Fantastic service and delicious food.

Our first visit with my parents and their dog. Found a table in the bar area as dogs cant go in the restaurant. Lovely staff, had quite a laugh with them and my Dad!! Food was superb, we had the Welsh steak, lamb shank and the steak and ale pie, all of which we highly recommend. Will visit again soon

Very busy pub - well supported by locals and tourists . Nice selection of food - fish and chips were very nice and a g/f was available. Great idea that no children allowed after 7.30.

Called just after midday for a meal, staff made us so welcome, very good choice on the menu.

We called here after just arriving in Anglesey. We were found a table and made most welcome in every way. It is a child and dog friendly pub with real ales and a god selection of superb quality, wholesome, comfort food. We both started with the garlic mushrooms which came on a toasted roll with a white suace. Great taste and good portion. We had the he made Welsh beef and real ale pie with chips and veg. The meat was tender and flavoursome with a rich gravy and pastry to die for. No room for a sweet but had a great drink with a fantastic meal and friendly service. Well done.

Ate here a couple of times and the food and service was very good ,as vegetarians we can find dining a bit of a challenge but the crown offered tasty food..service and portion sizes were good

Lovely friendly pub which is dog friendly in the bar area. We ate here about three times while we were away and each time the meals were very good. Sunday lunch is lovely but booking is recommended as it gets busy. Unfortunately in the bar area tables can not be reserved so if you have your fury friend with you its first come first served. I recommend the steak and the steak and ale pie is a must. Will be back again next time we visit Anglesey.

Came here for a meal at 18.00 on a Saturday....very busy inside but plenty of seating for outside dining. Very friendly locals who made us welcome and staff who made a fuss of our dogs! The rump steak was huge and cooked as requested and the chips and onion rings were excellent home made ones. The steak and ale pie was heaving with chunks of beef with a great “ale” taste too. Good portions and not overpriced seeing as it’s the only pub in the village. Great experience, will return.

Came back on holiday and decided to retry the crown. Was not disappointed. Food, service and ambience was great. Fabulous

Called here on a wet and windy day with nothing else to do but eat!

Really pleasant staff,good selection of ales and a very nice rear beer garden & Dog friendly also. Just off the main road an ideal stop off after a walk or day on the beach 👍

First time visitor to Anglesey and started looking for something to eat in Holyhead; waste of time. Followed Tripadvisor to this little gem of a pub. What a delight. Busy with food still at 8pm on a weeknight (good indicator), despite which they still managed to find me a table. I’m always drawn to a good steak and ale pie and theirs did not disappoint. The photo says it all and honestly I didn’t have any room left for a pudding. (Particularly frustrating as I had seen another table’s brownie with ice cream which looked Devine!) Portion size good without being too big. Food quality, excellent. Service, fabulous, swift, courteous, efficient. Thank you to all who served me, I look forward to coming again!

Fantastic home cooked tradition pub grub. I had steak and ale pie which was delicious with amazing home made chips. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Can’t wait for our next trip to Anglesey as we will definitely go back to the crown for some food.

We were advised to visit the crown whilst visiting Rhosnigr for the week and was not disappointed. The staff were friendly and the food was well presented and enjoyable also a varied menu. We enjoyed it so much we went back the next night. I advise you to book a table.we will return.

Came twice on our weeks visit to Anglesey for dinner. Did book either time and it was pretty busy. Welcomed our dog into the bar area. Food was really good, we tried steak and ale pie, pork belly and a chicken dish off the specials board. Really good place to come

Went on the off chance and were really pleased with quality of food and price. Dog friendly too. Plenty of seating options both inside and out. Service was friendly.

Went for a meal Saturday afternoon, only time I could get was 15:30, so be sure to book in advance. Oldy worldly pub with excellent food and helpful welcoming staff. Recommended.

We hadn’t booked and the pub was full but were advised if we could order straight away they could accommodate us. We sat in the garden which was lovely and the food was delicious. Thank you.

Called here several times as we were staying in a cottage outside the village and wow what a place. The food is excellent and staff very friendly and helpful as are the locals. They have a house special of steak and ale pie and its really wonderful. Sunday Roast is also highly recommended. The Pub has several rooms where you can eat and plenty parking outside. Highly recommend this place

We arrived unannounced. The friendly hosts found us a table. Excellent food, great service. Recommended.👍

We found this great pub on Trip Advisor and have to agree with the rating. Great food, super service from friendly staff and a choice of over 40 gins. What more could you ask. We can highly recommend the sticky toffee pudding

A delicious veggie lasagne. Great prompt service even though they were very busy. Friendly people both sides of the bar

We visited yesterday lunchtime with the intention of eating and quenching our thirsts. Having read some of the comments we were optimistic - and we were not disappointed.

- lovely pub serving nice food in both a dining area and outside in the garden

This place is about taste. Not fancy pritty plates but good food done well and v good value.

We booked a table for both nights we were staying in the area. The food service and atmosphere were excellent.

The Crown has a restaurant area which looked quite inviting and two small bar areas where dogs are allowed. It also has a beer garden but it was out of action for refurbishment while we were there. The menu is typical pub and we had scampi and steak and ale pie. The scampi was good quality and well cooked and the pie tasted homemade, dark suculant and full of flavour. The chips were light and dry but the vegatables with the pie a little overcooked. The service was friendly and efficient and the pub is clearly very popular. Prices are very reasonable

After a great walk on Newborough Beach, we wanted a late lunch and found The Crown.

Popped in for a beer after a long walk on Aberffraw beach, needed a warm and pub looked so cozy inside, log burner was just right, as always great beers, staff as everyone says are really friendly and helpful, ended up eating which was a real treat, The Crown is a proper pub, not a high end restaurant which other reviews seem to think it is, It’s a Village pub and it does fantastic food, If you want high end, Anglesey has several, If you want really good pub food this is the place to go too on the west coast
