I’m bugged by this - asked for a large white wine - got charged for a large - they put two large ice cubes in the filled to the 250 Mark - I realised but let it go the first time - 2nd time called them out and they apologised and put the correct measure in - the guy was free pouring - very annoying

Good friendly atmosphere but to many children running around playing hide and seek and screaming felt more like play barn and this was 8.00 at night not appropriate for that time of night there should be a time limit or a certain area for families not the whole of the pub

Asked for my steak medium. It was the most burnt chargrilled steak I've have seen. Worse steak I've ever had and about 10 chips. This was 15 pound as well. Had a under 6 year old meal came with chips, chicken nuggets and beans. However there were next to no beans. They served the beans in a tiny sauce pot. Not much of a portion for a under 6 year old. Paid for pudding and it was just 2 tiny ice cream scoops. My toddler finished it super quick. God help an older child. Just expensive poor food for small portions. Maybe get smaller plates so it doesn't look so sparse. Lovely pub nice drinks just poor food. Didn't complain prob should have. But too polite and I was with local family so I didn't want to cause a fuss.

Popped in today for a drink on way home Come here on a regular basis, can't fault service, food etc. What really gets me is that the obscene language by the builders who come in for a well earned pint usually close to the bar. We had to sit at the back so didn't hear the effing and blinding. PLEASE can you put a sign up about lthe language it's not as if it's done quietly especially when children are in. Are you that desperate for trade, I was in the building trade and I can swear with the best of them Are you scared to tell them 🤔

Staff were lovely, However food was appalling. Chicken Sunday roasts had potatoes that were too tough to eat, definitely not roasted, but solid! Veg had passed briefly through hot water, also inedible. Chicken was ok, as was Yorkshire, but we both left everything else on the plate. Needless to say, don’t recommend the food at all, but as previously said, drinks were fine, and staff were lovely

Came here for a family meal. When ordering we asked for chilli sauce instead of gravy sauce in the burger. The lady at the bar said that’s fine. When the food arrived, there was gravy sauce in the burger, when questioned about this the waitress said that the chef refused to do it, when we were told that it was possible when ordering. When the chicken hunters schnitzel came it was burnt and clearly had been sat under the heat for a while. The service was appalling and the lady serving had no manners and didn’t even apologise for the issues with the food. Would not recommend to eat here. 100% avoid. Maybe for a drink that’s about it.

Great night as always, Shaun is always welcoming and he and his team are really friendly and hardworking. The Crown has improved massively in the last 6 months, tables are cleared and cleaned, staff are polite and happy to serve customers. Shaun has been the first manager in a long time to give the pub stability and reinforce customer service. Would be nice if the place could get a face lift as it is a little tired and has not had any improvements in a very long time unlike most other local establishments.

Sunday Lunch invite from friends so it's hard to really be completely critical, but four lunches slightly warm was not a good start, put that with vegetables dipped in and out of water, and three small potatoes that were certainly not home cooked. Why did we not complain, when friends invite you out it's a case of being polite.

There’s been a massive change in the crown lately with a new manager and new staff. Customer service has returned with friendly staff and the place is looking a lot cleaner and tidier. Shaun and his team are really welcoming and have really turned the atmosphere around. Only thing that lets it down is that it’s looking a little tired and desperately needs a facelift like most of the other local venues have had. Great place for drinks with friends, just could do with a lick of paint and some new curtains.

Visited The Crown Pub recently and had a mixed experience. While the ambiance was cozy and inviting, and the staff friendly, the service was a bit slow, especially during peak hours. The food was decent, but nothing exceptional, and the menu lacked variety. Additionally, the pricing seemed a bit high for the quality offered. Overall, it's an okay option for a casual outing, but there's room for improvement in terms of service efficiency and menu variety.
