The Crown at Asfordby in Melton

Popped in for a pint, very nice, not many people, lovely surroundings, real fire going, atmospheric, plenty of parking

Very friendly staff and could not do more.Very impressed. The food was exceptional.Really enjoyed it all. Fabulous evening and well worth it.Will be back

Really nice place! Went for my mams birthday and it was absolutely amazing! 100% recommend

Very accommodating to fit us in at the last minute and the food was delicious! Highly recommend.

We were recommended this pub by someone in the local garden centre as we were visiting this area and we were not disappointed. We received a really warm welcome from the staff who went over and above to make our experience one to remember. The food was absolutely amazing and the quality was excellent. All the meat was locally sourced and the steak was tender and perfectly cooked. We visited on Burger Night Thursday and the food was delicious. Highly recommend this local pub you will not be disappointed.

Fabulous pub serving excellent quality food. The staff were really welcoming and went over and above to provide an excellent experience . Highly recommend this pub you will not be disappointed.

A beautiful burger on burger night. Staff really friendly. Well worth a visit if you have not tried yet.

Excellent pub. Went for a pint with the family before getting a chippy round the corner and the bus back to our campsite Good selection of beers, clean pub and staff very friendly.

Beautiful meal at this fab local pub. Friendly, atmospheric and just the nicest place for a relaxed meal. Can't beat this place locally

Amazing staff and customer service. Went for dinner, food was beautiful and a good price to match! Grace was especially good. Lovely chatty girl an amazing asset to the pub.

Collected a Sunday roast & scampi and chips a few weeks go and upon entering, the atmosphere felt like a proper pub: locals, families and music in the background. The roast was amazing! The roast potatoes were without a doubt 11/10! Alan and Lisa were very welcoming, kind and helpful. Great customer service by both of them. The Mighty Pop cheesecake definitely hit the right spot! Best dessert ever.

Myself and a few friends went for a drink at the crown asfordby where we were served by a very kind and bar maid named Grace. What a lovely atmosphere, we will definitely be returning!

What amazing burgers !!!! Asked if they could do the burges without a brioche bun and wow came out in a charcoal seeded bun and never tasted such a tasty burger. The waitress on the day was super friendly and welcoming and would just like to say a massive thankyou to her for her outstanding service and to the chef for amazing food. Our to go to place now when we are in the area

Food lovely….staff welcoming and excellent waitress service!! (Tayla) Compliments to the chef. Excellent portion sizes highly recommend, Locals are a lovely bunch too👍🏽

Thought the restaurant was closed when we walked in, no carvery! However quickly told new menu for the summer. Great wide choice of meals. Enjoyed by one and all Thankyou

Their pasta night has brilliant quality food (I said to my partner the chef should be in a Michelin restaurant) with great presentation. Strongly recommend this place all around.

The Crown is now our local. The food is top class. Best Sunday roast I've ever been to, apart from home. Highly recommended and pie nights are excellence on a plate.

Great place for my little granddaughter's party, staff were really helpful & accommodating. Had bouncy castle in the garden & lovely friendly atmosphere.

Decided to pop in our local for pie night with my son and daughter. Having all ready tried the award winning steak and Stilton I opted for the chicken, mushroom and tarragon. WOW by far the winning pie in my book and would definitely recommend you try it. Service was good like always. Lovely evening and excellent food.

Visited for a meal this afternoon. The bartender told us there might be a bit of a wait for our meals, due to a function taking place. The wait was no longer than we would have expected to wait for a meal to be cooked anyway. When our meals arrived they looked absolutely lovely. We weren't disappointed, they tasted as good as they looked. All in all a lovely country pub with great food and good prices. We will definitely visit again when we return to the area.

We are new to the village, we went for Sunday lunch. The carvery was exceptionally good, perfectly cooked and hot. Highly recommend

Loved it here. Great meals, service excellent, decor great, atmosphere friendly and warm. Bar area great too although did get noisy.

Amazing breakfast with the family, sat outside in the beautiful sun, the table service was great(thanks jade) food was delicious and all local, definitely be going back

Lovely friendly little local, great for a casual drink after a country walk or for celebrating a more formal occasion. Still as good as ever and thank goodness we have 1 pub left in the village.

My partner and I have spent a few evenings here after work. We also get their platter for £14 which allows you to get four sides. We find it such a bargain and I don’t whoever the chef is but they are working magic in that kitchen. The food always comes out cooked amazing, piping hot and incredibly delicious. We usually grab the platter and two drinks, so for two you get two meals for under £20. In this cost of living crisis, you cannot go wrong!

What a shambles. Place is dirty and has old and dated carpets and table which are sticky. Not much to the menu and initially didn’t want to order but thought I try. Took us 20 minutes to even receive the starter and it lacked flavour and looked like it just came from the freezer. Roast wasn’t anything special either and vegetables could be warmer and some attempt to season them would be appreciated. Won’t be returning and it wasn’t worth the money and the staff didn’t look like they wanted to be there ( it’s not hard to smile)

Great local pub restaurant, friendly and relaxed atmosphere with great menu

Took my mum here for Mother's Day and we had a 2 course meal; carvery followed by dessert. The meal itself was beautiful, turkey fell apart and was very juicy however the beef was quite tough on this occasion. In terms of wait times, the restaurant could have staggered the tables going up to get their food as the line was chaotic and meant people eating in that part of the restaurant were overlooked by queuers. The dessert options were decent and tasted very nice, I opted for the chocolate cheesecake and my mother went for the crumble. Staff were all very friendly and attentive. Would recommend a visit if nearby!

Food was lovely but service and attention poor. Meal booked for 4pm after asking to be seated numerous times we finally got seated at 4.30 pm no apology not really made to feel special for Mothers day . Our first meal here 😭

Absolutely lovely pub clean cosy home from home. Beautiful home made chips food tasty buffet food aswell lovely atmosphere lovely staff can’t wait for my carvery Christine is amazing lady who is done a fab job the pub is lovely friendly with nice people lots of portions and great prices defiantly recommend.

Thank you so much for tonights birthday meal for our great grandaughters 6th birthday. Everything was perfect. Highly recommended. Visited Wednesday 28th February 2024.

Lovely Sunday lunch delivered will be ordering again everything so fresh

Lovely food. Sunday carvery is tbe best and great value for money

Freandly staff, nice atmosphere and not to expensive

Have always had a lovely meal here.

Had Sunday lunch very good meal

Nice friendly place, staff welcoming. Very nice carvery, all freshly cooked. Choice of 4 meats, plenty of choice on veg. It was very filling. The puds looked good but were too full. Dogs accommodated in the bar area. Definitely worth a visit.

I’m here for work and decided to pop out for a bite to eat by myself. Upon entering the pub all the tables were empty but the bar had quite a few people in it. Walked up to the bar where I was accosted by a women making remarks about my appearance, seemed to make it a joke in front of everyone. Felt really uncomfortable and left without ordering anything.

Wonderful old pub, great food and service

Excellent Carvery Sunday Lunch, lovely cooked food, fresh veg quality meats, lovely staff, no rushing us in, will definitely be back.

We stumbled across the Crown whilst heading home from Melton to nottingham, its got a charming rustic appearance and very pubby feel to the place. i had a massive cheese n ham ciabata with triple cooked chips n salad which was packed with fillings, absolutely delicious and the young lady serving was very nice n smiley and quite funny too!! If I pass that way again I'd defo call in again.

Went for the Sunday Carvery. It's very VERY worth it!!! Depending on what size you choose (standard or large) you get a choice of 2 or 3(sometimes 4) meats. Staff are friendly and nice. It's a great village pub.

A delightful old pub. Food was lovely. Girl serving was polite and smiley. As there was a function on we were sat in the bar area and ordered food. A few locals talking loudly and a bit drunk. Later more came in and it was really loud and obnoxious. This spoilt the whole experience and we should not have been seated there to eat. Should have cancelled our order and left. This place needs to decide if its locals only or do you welcome outsiders?

Wonderful atmosphere, fabulous fresh food beautifuly cooked, and great service. Highly recommended.

Had the Sunday Carvery and it was the best I've had anywhere, Meat was beautifully cooked and tasted perfect, vegetables and gravy were also perfect, service was good with a lovely friendly waitress, will return again

Attended the pie night, will be back for burger night 😋

What a lovely experience. We rang up last minute on a Sunday to see if we could get in for Sunday lunch. We arrived at 2.50pm; service finished at 3.00pm and we were made to feel so welcome; nothing was a problem. The Sunday roast was absolutely delicious & the dessert (homemade cheesecake) was to die for. Such a friendly pub, fantastic food and excellent customer service. We'll definitely be back.

Great pub if you are prepared to put up with the rubbish beer and the barrackroom language. Would they use that language in front of their wives like they did mine?

It's wonderful to have The Crown on our doorstep, consistently serving high quality food at a reasonable price and service with a smile!

The food here is phenomenal! Everything was made to perfection. The chips taste great and the salad with French Vinegarette was amazing! The cheese and garlic ciabatta was the best I've ever tasted! The atmosphere feels homely and welcoming. The staff are very attentive and extremely helpful! Would highly recommend The Crown to anyone in the area, but is worth the drive if farther a field.

Sunday lunch is great value.. Our family love it here.. Nice little garden for the grandchildren to run around.. Vegetables are fresh and cooked quite al dente which is great for us.. Not sure what could be done but i just wish the restaurant could be upgraded...

Fab little pub food is delicious would recommend will definitely be back prices not too expensive either

1st time here. Carvery was absolutely lovely. Staff all lovely. We will definitely be going back.

Had a lovely Sunday dinner here yesterday and the staff were so friendly

First time in there looked good my daughter as move out that way so trying different pubs

We went for Sunday Carvery, food was nice plenty to choose from and a resonable price. Plenty of space to sit and eat, service was quick.

Enjoyed the meal very much, and the staff were very friendly will definitely go back again

Lovely food and the Staff Profesional....Congratulations....!!!

The service we had from the young lady who served us was excellent she made us feel very welcome . The meal we had was from the specials menu (Mexican ) the fajitas they were delicious good ,excellent presentation and red hot . The pub itself was rough around the edges , looked like they had half renovated the little restaurant area we sat in then stopped . The restaurant part we sat in wasn’t very warm and looked like everywhere needed a clean and tiding up.

We had a family gathering at Christmas I didn't enjoy meal food was bland and not very warm also on a cold night it was warmer outside than inside won't be rushing back

Just wanted to say what a fantastic meal we all had at this amazing pub. If going for the carvery make sure you book as when we arrived it was quiet but soon became full. The choice of meats was fantastic and the veg included a great selection. Plus the staff were all friendly and attentive. Great meal thank you.

Very disappointed the beef was like leather the food was cold and tasteless

Decent Sunday Carvery, Very friendly staff.

Excellent food, wonderful staff all in a traditional pub package.

Lovely country pub ! Friendly staff very welcoming and a fantastic good value carvery ! Tasted excellent! Also dog friendly ! For a nice Sunday roast come here ! Desserts are fab too 😋

Better presentation needed and choice of vegetables needs to be thought through as some people do not like the choice also a varied menu needed as not everyone wants carvery and you should keep the supply of all meats going and not run out because a large carvery states up to 4 meats however the staff were really friendly and you certainly got a big piece of meat on your plate and fantastic desserts

Visited a couple Sundays ago, used to really enjoy this place but it has gone down hill, being a carvary, i came early to get a good selection of fresh food but all the meats were dry, roast potatos was soggy and still had skin on, deep fried, the cauli cheese was flavourless, parsnips was deep fried, stale yorkshire pudding and it appeared they had no chef either as the waitresses was being asked to put more food on. Very dissappointing

Only stopped in for drinks, great little pub and a decent choice on the bar.

Excellent landlady & staff who go the extra mile to ensure happy customers. Have used The Crown for events (attractive event space) meals, & drinks. A wide choice of hot & cold drinks inc wines & beers. Better known for good food & plenty of it. EXCELLENT Sunday roasts a speciality which can also be delivered. NOTE: vegetarian & vegan options inc the yummiest cheesecakes!!

Lovely pub land lady opened at lunch time to accomodate our walking Group after our 5mile walk my liver and onions was 😋 and white chocolate roulade for pudding washed down wite a pint of ale thank you for making us so welcome

Great little pub, nice food, friendly staff.

Lovely village pub 2 outdoor areas, lovey fresh food,

Asfordby so really appreciate having this lovely facility on our doorstep. We will be back..

Lovely food,company, had a good evening every one friendly xx

Not long moved to the area and were told about this amazing little pub, it didn't disappoint, food was amazing, our server Ebony was amazing also. Really friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back again 🙂🙂

Had the Sunday lunch carvery. What a cracking little find this place is. The food like the service was impeccable. The home-made cheesecake was epic too. We will definitely be coming back.

While staying at Eye Kettleby Lakes on a very windy & wet day, we found that The Crown did takeaway Sunday Lunches & would deliver to our caravan pitch. It was very easy to order online, we both had beef & turkey with an extra side of pigs in blankets, absolutely delicious, very generous portions & hot when it arrived, finished off with Jam roly poly & custard & cheesecake of the day which again were lovely. We can highly recommend this pub.

My local love it staff are awesome 🙂.

Great place, nice food, pleasant people..

Lest Sunday lunch was not like up to usual standard. Seemed more interested in take outs. The young waitress was wonderful

Just moved to this area and so had lunch here. Im coeliac so needed gluten free options, they accommodated me brilliantly, using clean tongs and fresh veg for me. Reasonably priced and very nice food.

Superb service and great value - and recommendable for veggies! Will return if in the area - thank you!

Just had a takeaway Sunday lunch, can't fault it staff lovely, top notch!

Lovely place to go for a carvery ,4 joints to choose from and plenty of veg. I was amazed my food was hot which I love, as alot of carverys places dish up meals that are warm. MY meal was lovely 😋 and I would definitely book again. Just a heads up dining area small so need to book up early.

Lovely little establishment, nice staff and won on the fruity machine.

Lovely friendly quiet pub with the best Carvery I'd had in along time, definitely recommend

Managed to get a party of 8 people in atl short notice fab food great service

Sunday Carvery O M G I will be going back for another sometime very soon' on a Sunday lol

Had a lovely sunday roast with a choice of 4 meats lots of veg with yorkshire puddings followed by excellent deserts. The lady mentioned to us that they had some new staff today which were training and they all did brilliantly and were such nice friendly girls too xx well worth the money too xx

Nice place to start a walk from Will open for groups parking is a bit tight food is good

Very nice little pub. Really friendly staff.

Excellent pub. Lovely staff. Great Pint.

Great meal out. If you order one the pizzas make sure you hungry.

I have eaten here previously and it has been okay, but the last time was not so great, and today was dire. We made a telephone booking only to be told on arrival that there were no tables & I would have to eat in the bar. several staff advised that they were "short staffed", but this just meant that those present were chasing around in an unplanned way filling gaps. The chef must has been one of the absentees, the quality of the food was sadly lacking - over cooked and over salted. Lack of Management seems to be the order of the day!

Went for Sunday carvery, food was very nice and staff were friendly and attentive. Landlady’s cheesecake was epic! We will definitely be back!

The food was lovely and the staff were really friendly. Covid safe.

Had Sunday lunch delivered and it was the worst purely because it was stone cold so meat was dry, yorkies awful and it just ruined it 🤷🏼‍♀️ Lesson learnt to not have delivery Sunday lunch.

Friendly staff and had a great night out.

Fantastic! I have had the Sunday carvery and pudding delivery several time now. The food is wonderful and tastes delicious. Always plenty of food! The staff that deliver the food are always friendly and helpful. I appreciate the deliveries may come to an end when Covid is over. However, it has been a wonderful treat for me who is mostly housebound (prior to Covid). Thank you xx

Ordered Sunday lunch to be delivered for Mothers Day and have to say was impressed. Were a few minutes late but given the day am sure they were very busy. Each meal came individually portioned up with a small cup of lovely gravy and all was cooked really nicely. Deserts were fabulous too. Would definitely use again
