The Crown in Runnymede

Horrible pint of Amstel , bordering on un-drinkable and it fairness , you have to try very hard to keep a crap pint of lager. Will not return.

Pub dall'atmosfera informale e dal servizio amichevole, vicino a diversi parcheggi (biblioteca, Waitrose): davvero eccellenti il fish and chips e l'agnello, consigliatissimo!

I booked lunch for myself and four friends, all of us coming from a different direction and one of us travelling more than 50 miles. In mid morning of the booking date I got a message that they had "technical problems in the kitchen" and so could not serve lunch. To check out the message I called, only to get through to a remote booking service. Any call to the pub itself was met with an answering service. I had to urgently book an alternative venue and meet my friends at the Crown to tell them the location. I popped into the Crown but the place was deserted. How it gets any positive Trip Advisor reviews is anyone's guess. Based on my first impressions it doesn't deserve any stars.

3pm on Sunday. The front garden is filthy. Broken glass on the floor, cigarette ends on the tables and on the chairs, tobacco all over one of the tables. Cigarette ends in the plant pots. Ashtrays all full of yesterday morning’s rain water and cigarettes floating in them all. Rubbish on the floor. So I went to the back garden and it was even worse!! I have never ever seen such disgusting pub gardens. It actually made me feel sick. We decided to have a drink inside. I asked for a de-caff coffee. Barman said they don’t have it. My husband asked for a pint of Madri. Barman says they’ve run out of Madri. I definitely won’t be returning to this vile disgusting filthy place

Went for a roast after reading lots of good reviews and it did not live up to the expectation. They sat us right next to another group of people when the entire restaurant was empty so we requested to move. I had a mixed roast which I have had at various other pubs, and this was the worst I have had. There was barely any meat, and although the meat was tender it was not up to par with the quality of other meats I have eaten. It was very thinly sliced and not worth the money whatsoever. There was an inconsistency with the roast potatoes, mine were fairly edible however my friend’s were undercooked and underwhelming. The vegetables were just bad and we only got one piece of broccoli each, the parsnip was especially awful as it was rock hard and so badly underdone. The only reason we ate it was because we were starving. The amount of gravy was also not sufficient and the roast came cold. The barman looked like he wanted to be literally anywhere else and was not warm or friendly. My geriatric grandmother makes a better roast than this. Overall, really not a good experience I could not recommend less.

rather disconcerting experience - altho my friend paid for the meal, so i tried not to make too much fuss at the time - ordered slow cooked rib, which arrived with no vegetables until i had to ask (original cabbage had run out) and was eventually supplied with burnt roast carrots and a rather more pleasant red cabbage, although by now the beef had gone cold ....friends son ordered the only dessert among us, a rhubarb and custard sundae, which on arrival was clearly nothing of the sort, and consisted of brownie and caramel sauce (no explanation as to why the substitution) - however, being a bottomless pit of a 20yr old, he happily scoffed the lot, personally i would have sent it back.....we had a dog with us, she got better service overall :/

Good food and served well. Can be a bit of a wait when busy but a friendly environment. Very dog friendly with dog treats available.

Stopped off for some dinner here. Nice little pub just at the end of Egham highstreet. Person on the bar was very friendly and welcoming. I had a pint of Guinness and the Sausage and Mash. Both amazing. Definitely recommend this plate if you want something quick to eat.

Happy that they serve Aspall on tap! Spacious with a nice vibe. Ordered a bar snack - chilli jam sausages. They were just that! Maybe a little well cooked with a lot of jam but a nice compliment to a proper British cider

No atmosphere, no welcome from staff. When we ordered the food at the bar it was obvious it was the bar girls first day judging by the support she needed. No problem with that other than there's more to standing behind the bar such as customer interaction, looking in my general direction would have been nice and possibly- dare I say - a smile! The food was appalling. Sausages barely cooked looking raw, the mash tasted like it was cooked yesterday, the red cabbage tolerable- the gravy was nice. Luke warm coffee was a mistake- we shouldn't have expected any better. I definitely wouldn't ever eat there again & I wouldn't recommend it.

Thank you for your kind generousity and sharing top customers with The Reds, Loungers and Kings Arms. Sending Ray of sunshine is the best thing that you did along with 28 others and may it continue daily.

Shocking just shocking. Lizzy/izzy? Just dumped dirtly cutlery on to of the dirty table and the manageress just laughed. Went to complaint but she just walked away.

Went for Sunday lunch and the food was OK but only OK. For the price I would have expected more and the menu looks impressive. Not much of an atmosphere and when you are out for food I would expect to be served at the table. There was also a old smell to the pub as if not clean!

This afternoon we went for a family meal in the Crown Egham . There were four adults and a two year old . We all ordered food , only one out of the five meals were edible. The chips were so dry and the potato content was non existent . Burger buns were burnt and the chicken was so over cooked you couldn’t eat it . How can they get four meals so wrong ? Very disappointed and will not return there for food again .

One gets the impression this establishment is being deliberately run down. What used to be the best pub in the area but not anymore. Staff seem poorly trained with no sign of any management - great reluctance to clear and clean tables. Very few customers and no atmosphere. Sad decline that can only go in one direction - and that is closure.

Only scored 1 as Zero not an option First meal was the leftovers of the Sunday Roast, luke warm, gravy obviously from the bottom of the pan, veg was totally overdone and tired Immediately rejected and the manager freely admitted there was insufficient left to offer another roast Ordered from what was available from the rest of the menu and they seemed to have forgotten about us for 20 minutes until we asked Meal then arrived and was so over cooked it was inedible, we pushed the food around the plate for another 20 minutes in the forlorn hope that someone would at least take the time to check on us as all members of staff nowhere to be seen, eventually we left the meal and simply walked out The management has no idea on running a place of hospitality, nor do the members of staff appear to have been trained in Customer service Very very poor

It used to be great but under the new owners its just not good anymore Staff are rude and the food is awful

Food was pretty poor. The burger in particular was made from low quality cheap frozen patty. The fish pie was tasteless. The barman was stroppy and didn’t smile once when ordering or serving our food. Avoid.

Worst roast I’ve ever had, it was like they were trying to make bad food. Gravy tasted like water, meat like cardboard, inedible potatoes, forgot the pork crackling and carrots. Wouldn’t feed this to a starving orphan, too cruel. Shame on you.

Don’t order the roast. Tasted like someone had run it over before putting it on the plate. A victorian orphan ate better than I did today.

Lovely pub great service. New menu is fantastic, the Venison pie is delicious Thank you for looking after us we had a great time

Gone right downhill, used to be a perfect stop off after work or whilst waiting for kids to finish an evening club. Last 8 times ive been there beer has tasted bad, moved onto Red Lion. I never went to admire the front garden flowers...

Do not believe what they say about their cask ales. They are awful! They don't know how to keep it. Drink lager instead.

Tried one of their triple roasts. Very fresh and hot, was delicious but make sure you get in their early as they run out quickly. Would recommend having a Sunday lunch here!

So dissapointed. We come down to Egham every year for the BMW Golf at Wentworth and have always enjoyed visiting the Crown for our evening meal and has always been good. Not this time. The food was most probably the worst pub food we have...

We went to The Crown Egham on August Bank Holiday Sunday for lunch with my husband and 2 of my sister in laws. We are the people that the other gentleman is talking about at the table near them. My salad was served in a...

There is a great atmosphere in here and lovely customer service. The burgers here are really nice & the management is super friendly.

My family were staying in a nearby hotel in Egham so we looked up places to eat nearby and saw ‘The Crown’ had a decent rating.. God knows why, it was really poor by any standards. We ordered 2 x sausage & mash, 1 x...

The staff were friendly upon arrival and we’d pre booked a table and indicated one vegan in the party. They were great with the kids and made them bespoke dinners. My daughter enjoyed her steak and my husband enjoyed his steak and mushroom pie although...

Tasty salad, lovely pie and good service, all at a very reasonable price. Nice beer garden and atmosphere. Would recommend for a good value meal.

Great food and service - friendly staff. Visiting while son at Royal Holloway which is only up the road! Recommend the cheese burger and chicken Korean burger!

Lovely, welcoming pub. Had a fabulous lunch with excellent service, we were looked after very well by Harry. Would definitely recommend and we will be visiting again in the future.

Went for drinks in the front garden with some friends to make the most of the sun (best pub garden in Egham for sure!). Ended up having a house sharer and it was amazing! Overheard the kitchen has new management too! Shoutout to Emma and...

Great family meal. Attentive service by Steve who made us feel very special. My steak was high quality and done to perfection. Never disappointed here

We came along to make use of the great outdoor space on one of the few days we could actually enjoy the sun , it was very busy out front with everyone having the same idea, looked so good with all the colourful cushions out...

When I usually visit the Crown Pub I just have a pint. This time I decided to have lunch there. I decided to have their Sunday Roast Beef. It was Sirloin, unlike other restaurants I have been to where they only serve topside. It was...

Great pub with great atmosphere, always a good place to catch up with friends, have to say Mark one of the barman is a very welcoming and friendly guy.

This pub has a good vibe, we were served by Mark, a very nice barman, informative, helpful and polite

Popped in for lunch with friends brought our dogs with us lunch was very tasty, a lovely atmosphere very welcoming large front and back garden highly recommend

Great venue with range of inside and outside seating and engaging workers, great service from mark.

This place is me and my friends go to in our town. It's got cheap drinks, good service and a nice outdoor seating area.

Popped into The Crown yesterday afternoon {Monday} for a couple of drinks. Very friendly barman called Mark served us our drinks, had a good chat & joke with him. Very efficient young man.

We would like to thank Mark for his usual chatty and happy service on our visits this week. We don't tend to eat out at the crown that often but enjoy drinks with friends.

Nice pint of moretti with tasty food served in good time. Bar staff very friendly along with happy locals

After a successful previous visit a few years ago we went to the Crown for Mother’s Day. We ordered at 3-35pm. the pub was busy but the meals did not arrive until 4-30. Even allowing for a busy time I think that is unacceptable. The...

Food and service was great. Really impressed with how well presented the bar is. Well done to all. Will be visiting again!

Great menu choice and excellent food, well presented and my steak cooked to perfection. The service was attentive as the staff very friendly. The pub has a welcoming atmosphere, especially to my dogs who were fussed over by everyone.

Great local pub with great selection of beers wines and all other drinks friendly staff and good atmosphere would definitely recommend and will be back .

I’ve visited the Crown on a few occasions. The atmosphere is great. The Pub is decorated to represent various seasons and events. I was there in Feb (with a distinct Valentines feel to it ) Previous visits were during the run up to Xmas ,...

We visited on a Sunday evening and were pleased to find they were still serving food however they should have been honest and said that roasts were finished.The vegetarian roast that arrived was just about edible but came with burnt to a crisp roast potatoes...

Went with the family. Great food, Friendly staff especially mark the barman. Will come definitely again!

Me and my lovely wife came here to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and I must say the staff here are so welcoming and the food is to die for, Hunters chicken is beautiful, would highly recommend 😋

Quick lunch yesterday and as a pub it’s a little worn but as a whole for drinks I’m sure it’s a good watering hole, unfortunately when it comes to food it was the worst pub I’ve ate in years.. I’m a vegetarian and the pie...

The food at the crown is also superb and bar service are always quality. The Crown is certainly the best pub to go in Egham. The manager is always very welcoming. Love the crown!

Came with friends for a get together the pub was still beautifully decorated from christmas we had the house sharer which was do good and some really good drinks the staff were so friendly will def return .

Had the roast duck. Consisted of re-heated duck that was therefore so tough I thought it was going to ask me for a fight. Together with the frozen aunt Bessie’s roast potatoes that were as dry as can be. I’m not expecting a pub meal...

We visited the pub for lunch, having booked another pub nearby who hadn’t bothered to answer my question as they were dog friendly so we had to find an alternative place to eat. The Crown are very dog friendly, they are very friendly to you,...

Had a lovely meal, friendly staff, Tracy was fab, very attentive throughout out. Would highly recommend

We went here for a Sunday lunch and were very pleased with our expereince. The staff were very helpful from the moment we arrived. Pleasant, but not instrusive service. The atmposhere was good with tables nicelt spaced. A good choice of food was on offer,...

The staff at the Crown couldn't have been more helpful, especially Kat. The food was lovely - 11 out of 10 for the honey bread pudding! And the beer was also good. Altogether a great experience and we would all highly recommend this pub.

Lovely pub, surprisingly spacious inside with great outdoor space both front and back. Good food, friendly and efficient service, very relaxing. Will definitely go again.

Great friendly service. Good to see they have gluten free options too. Well done Steve and the team, will definitely be back

A random find when visiting the area with my partner, so glad we discovered it. We were greeted with friendly faces and a welcoming atmosphere! The staff were fantastic especially Tracy who went above and beyond to look after us, what a lovely friendly chatty...

I can see this pub has def had a new lease of life pumped into it recently 😊 I was talking to one of the bar staff and the new manager sounds just what the pub needed ……….when the staff are so positive about there...

Came with friends last Saturday night we came because we heard they had live music again , the singer was brilliant as was the food and drinks the manager steve and his team made us feel so welcome will defo return .

Two extremely raw sausages served with my breakfast! The photo shown here was actually of the second time they attempted to reheat/cook my food after I sent it back! The outside was overcooked and the middle still very raw. The service was slow, the kitchen...

The best !! Shaan was so good, helped us pick drinks and made them very quickly. Lovely girl definitely needs a raise ! Sweetheart

Simply put, the 3 courses me and my family ordered, we agreed the food was top notch and for the speed they sent the dishes out at… we were not at all disappointed. Everything was presented in a way that was eye catching and enticing,...

Thought I’d go in as I heard live music last night and did not disappoint. Can notice positive differences since the management has changed

Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. We had Sunday lunch and it was very nice. The mash potato was delicious.

This place is great for a Sunday roast (the mash is delicious) and for families looking for a place to spend their afternoon. The staff were very kind and there were plenty of lovely places to sit, including an outside area where we met a...

Had a lovely Sunday roast at The Crown. Great dog friendly atmosphere. Friendly staff. Brilliant. 😁👍.

First time I’ve been here since Mat and Janny left. Drugs galore, if you want some coke get down here. It’s like a teen movie where everyone comes out the toilet with a nose cold. Sitting here with my pals and the table next to...

Fantastic food and service. Great Sunday lunch at The Crown. Good to see the pub so popular and despite being so busy we had very attentive service given by Steve and the Team. Throughly recommend the Lamb roast and Eton Mess Sunday.

Had a lovely meal with the family. A very good selection on the menu and very appealing specials. We found Emma particular friendly, engaging and very helpful. Will be back.

Great pub! The pea and mint tortellini is amazing and so is the espresso brownie. Definitely would return. Staff are amazing.

Just moved to egham my family came up to meet us at the Crown so glad we met here great food lovely staff and great selection of drinks Will def be back

Went there for lunch today, despite having bad experience twice before. Third time lucky - NO. Only one seafood pie, no other pies available. When I commented this to barman he laughed! I ended up having a burger, over cooked. Had barely started our meals...

This is genuinely the worst roast dinner we’ve ever eaten. The Sunday Roast menu doesn’t have a time specified on it so originally we booked for 5pm but luckily phoned to double check as they stop serving it at 5pm. I wish we hadn’t bothered....

My partner and I had dinner there. I had chicken pie with mash and veg. The pie was awful, the mash was a 'lump' and the veg, such as it was, was cold. It was served with BEEF GRAVY????. That was so thick it wouldn't...

When I usually visit the Crown Pub I just have a pint.  This time I decided to have lunch there. I had their special tomato, mozzarella balsamic tart and it was better than excellent.  I have found all the staff to be friendly and helpful,...

Warm midweek evening, maybe not enough staff, as service friendly but a little slow. Starters and mains came together, so latter not really hot by time we ate them. Lasagne delicious, but sausage and mash average. All competitively priced so you get what you pay...

Very lovely pub, clean tables and very polite staff, great atmosphere, very welcoming and top notch food, very nice touch with the cushions, inviting front area , would very much recommend to all!

Good service all round and good food. Comprehensive menu but meals were cooked to order and ‘mein host’ was pleasant and on the ball. Would use again!

Lovely atmosphere, has had a lot of thought put into it by the management. The front of the pub is beautifully decorated and maintained, inside is a beautiful English pub. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Great selection of food and drinks both soft and...

Visited there on Wednesday for the first time was very welcoming. Food was amazing and prices very reasonable . Definitely will be back
