The Crown At Broad Hinton in Wiltshire

Visited for lunch with a friend Thursday lunchtime and I had a burger and a pint for £16! The burger was delicious and we were served by a lovely waitress, Poppy, will definitely be coming back!

We visited on a Wednesday evening with friends. The pub was quiet. The menu was very limited, which was fine in itself on a weekday, but the quality of the main courses was mediocre. The dessert selection consisted of 2 different types of cake. Not even ice cream! So I wrote a personal letter to the landlord (who is new) to give him an opportunity to at least apologise without my going public with our complaint. He did not even bother to reply. All pubs have bad nights. It happens. But the failure to engage with disappointed guests was unforgiveable. We shall not return.

Have not eaten here for years so was good to give it a try after yet another change of manager. generally all very positive. Both starters were very good and the Moroccan lamb particularly so. Service very efficient and friendly and only less impressive aspect were the deserts which were all along the same theme and the one we had was rather dull and tasteless. A bit of variety woudl not go amiss on this especially in the summer.

The menu has all sorts which makes me cautious. I stuck to a standard pub meal which was actually very well cooked. I had mozarella salad (good, but rather large for me) and buttermilk chicken burger with home made cole slaw and fries - all very good. Looking at the mixed reviews I think possibly they might do better by sticking to a more limited standard pub menu Welcoming to dogs anywhere in the place which is quite unusual.

Amazing carvery for all the family. Friendly service and lovely atmosphere. My kids love the Yorkshire puddings! Thank you ☺️

My husband and I had a lovely tasty lunch with friends. The food was delicious - especially the bread and butter pudding with custard and cream! The staff were very attentive and helpful.

Visited Saturday & Sunday this weekend , had lunch both days and food quality and portions both very good .On both days the extremely pleasant and very hard working landlady made us feel so welcome to the pub even though very busy and was a breath of fresh of this industry , we will be returning again shortly and just gutted this is not our local pub as seems to have got every think spot on .

We went to The Crown today with two friends to celebrate our anniversary. The food really was top quality. I am famed for making poor decisions regarding steak but gave it a go today with crossed fingers. I had the fillet medallions with black pudding and was so pleased I did as the steak almost melted in the mouth I also had flowers delivered to the pub earlier in the day to give to my wife as a surprise. But the bigger surprise was the two waitresses who sang us a Happy Anniversary song along with a dance when the flowers were presented.A great touch that really made it a wonderful day.Thank You

This was our 'local' while we stayed at Thornhill 2 miles away. Unfortunately it was closed Monday & Tuesday and didn't do meals Sunday night so Wednesday night was our only option. That is a shame as we would probably have done 2 nights there and 2 nights at La Strada with hindsight.This pub is dog friendly - very ! Dogs are welcomed and diners with dogs can sit where they like. The landlady is lovely - chatty and friendly and very welcoming. It felt like we were regulars. Our starter was very slow coming and there had been a mix up, we didn't complain but it was knocked off the bill. Amazing, we would never have asked for that. It was hummus, pitta bread and salad and nicely served and tasty.Mains: my husband had belly pork and mash which he declared to be superb. I had a chicken and mushroom pie as pies seem to be a speciality here. Well yes.... what a fabulous pie ! As tasty as it gets with chips, peas and a very tasty gravy. Absolutely yummy.As it was our last night I lashed out on a pudding and wow. The cherry creme brulee was the best I've ever had served with amoretto ice cream and a shortbread biscuit. Divine !It was clear they were understaffed like so many places currently - but staff rushed round doing their best.We live 130 miles away so can't exactly pop back but if we could we most certainly would. If we had been there another 3 nights we would have eaten there 2 and 1 at La Strada which is close by. Definitely recommended if you are in the area of Royal Wootton Bassett or heading from Swindon to Avebury.

Courteous friendly staff make you feel welcome. We opted for the Sunday roast and we were not at all disappointed. Tender beef, pork and turkey with all the yummy trimmings. The roasties and stuffing were awesome. We would have loved the apple crumble with hot custard but they ran out. Sad faces !! Staff sincerely apologised. Very well worth the visit !!

Staff are young and very efficient and friendly. Garden was about two thirds full but inside only two tables were taken which surprised me what with it being a Friday night. Menu is not over long, burgers and pies dominate with a few meat and veggie choices. Two of us had pies, the filling was tasty but the pastry was slightly hard and took some cutting. Came with chips and peas but would have expected a selection of veg. Desserts are OK but the cheesecake was very heavy and cloying.Expected a bit more going by previous reviews. What we got was just standard pub grub.

I’m always honest and try to give a fair and balanced review of my experience.We found the pub to be rather chaotic, noise levels were so load it was impossible to hold a conversation. There were several families with children who were being allowed to run around their tables and not social distance from other diners. The staff made no effort to try to control this. Some staff were not wearing masks. Staff were slow to take our order, with both drinks and we had to ask if we were to be given menus. We ordered Sunday lunch, but all meals were barely lukewarm. There was a good selection of veg which was hot but all the meat dishes were tough. A bug bear of ours, is why do pubs think that every meat regardless of what it is has to come with yorkshire pud and stuffing? Beef and Yorkies yes, but lamb and chicken? All customers want is a well cooked Sunday lunch with the appropriate sides with gravy that tastes of beef or lamb not a generic gravy to go with everything and served hot. Pudding was the best part of the meal. We left feeling rather disappointed by the experience.

Stopped for lunch and they provide a brilliant lunch menu as well as their full menu. Had the fish finger baguette which was perfect fodder for cycling. Very friendly and efficient. Would definately recommend a stop here.

I visited the Crown the last time I was in the area and was impressed so booked a table for this trip as well. A lot of places say the are pet friendly but when you get there they expect you to stay in the garden or the corner etc, not at the Crown, Huki was fully welcomed and able to sit where he wanted, in fact he got abetter reception than we did, exactly as it should be!The team here are very efficient but friendly with it, they definitely have customer service in mind with their customers. The menu is not too large but had just the right amount of dishes to fit with every taste without being cluttered. When you receive your food, it is cooked to perfection and tastes lovely.The décor is spotlessly clean and yet manages to still be inviting, Another enjoyable visit,

I have eaten at this place a few times before but my last meal of fish with salad was rather disappointing. Rather small portion of deep fried fish covered with a lot of flour. And the salad was absolutely unacceptable as there was nothing except some leaves, a couple of threads of I think onion and a quarter of tomato. This never happened before. Perhaps this is the effect of present unpleasant situation. This certainly is not British salad. Eating at some restaurants in the third world countries where two or three pieces of tomato was served as salad. I wonder if I would like to eat here again. However the place is quite big and clean with large open green lawn at the back. On a nice worm day, eaters can sit out and enjoy themselves.

Dad lunch here on Sunday 25th. Outside in the lovely sunshine with great views over the Wiltshire countryside. Good Covid-19 restrictions and spaces between tables. The staff were lovely and worked really hard. We did have an hour wait for food but no complaints as I'm sure they are on restricted staff and it was so nice to be out. Food was very good and well definitely eat there again.

Fantastic as always - have opened at shop in the pub, which includes fresh meat, veg and freshly cooked bakery. Heaven in a village

Absolutely fabulous Christmas Eve lunch at The Crown. Pork belly was phenomenal, burger delicious and our 14 month old catered for also! Cannot wait for our next meal. If you think it’s out of your way - trust me, make the journey, it’s worth it!

I was craving fish and chips and read online that Crown did fish and chips, so after checking they are dog friendly off, I went. To say they are dog friendly is an understatement, Huki just plonked himself down in the middle of the path and no one complained! I was greeted by a very friendly lady who seated me and took my drink order. The menu is quite varied without being overcrowded. I had the cauliflower fritter for starter and was astonished to learn they can use gluten free batter for whatever you order, it was delicious. Of course, I had fish and chips, with large home-made onion rings on the side, for main and it was so tasty, so much so in fact that I could not finish all the onion rings, which is highly unusual for me.The waiter was one of the friendliest and best presented waiters I have had in a very long time, so polite.My only complaint was that I asked one of the swervers for the dessert menu when they cleared my main course, but I never received it. But that is a minor detail, all in all a lovely meal and evening, it was nice not to be rushed out as you are in many places.

We decided to have a rare evening out. What a great experience we had. A lot of thought has been given to meet the current restrictions in place and it felt like a “normal” evening out. Food was great, service was excellent and there was a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Well done to Sally, Jason and the team.

Fab Sunday Lunch - possibly the best I’ve had in a pub/restaurant. Very tender beef and v tasty roast potatoes with plenty of veg plus a giant Yorkshire. Incredibly well set up with Covid secure measures - they’ve definitely thought it all through and we felt very safe. Table and chairs cleaned before we sat down too. Staff very attentive and friendly!

Popped in for lunch with my parents on Friday, very friendly staff, they’re obviously taking COVID very seriously but it hasn’t detracted from the atmosphere. Two of us had pies, which were delicious, the only thing I’d advise for the future would be petit pois instead of garden pea, but perhaps that’s just a personal preference. My father had the bubble and squeak which came with huge slabs of what I believe was home cured ham, looked delicious. Only comment for the future was that was not as warm as he’d have expected, but it didn’t detract from the taste.Overall, we will definitely use again.

Had a superb lunch here. Fantastic food and great service. The owners are really on top of covid - we had a table which was shielded by a panel and there was a generous provision of sanitisers around. Very friendly and welcoming.

Fantastic Sunday Lunch, the food is superb and great choice of meats plus also choice from main menu. Very friendly and attentive staff, also feels very safe in the current climate!

A very impressive place in these strange times. They have clearly thought through the whole Covid situation in fine detail and we were impressed by the organisation. This without good food would be pointless, of course, and we were not disappointed. It was 'pie day' and all members of our party were all pleased with their meals. Tasty and clearly freshly made by people who care.It almost felt like the world was normal again! Well done to all.

Had dinner here when staying in Swindon overnight. Around 10-15 minute drive from Swindon but we'll worth it to avoid poor hotel food. This is a lovely pub with very welcoming and professional staff. We went on a Wednesday which was 'pie night' and were not disappointed. The steak and kidney pie was made on the premises, full of top quality filling and with an excellent thin pastry... Reasonably priced too with good, sensible covid precautions. I would highly recommend you visit and support a worthy independent business. Well done to The Crown. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area.

Couldn't fault this pub. We stopped for lunch on the way to overnight stop in motorhome. Staff helpful, welcoming and kept an eye out to see if we needed drinks topping up. The beef burger with chips, relish salad and coleslaw was excellent value and really tasty and well seasoned. It was big! Really well kept Arkells ale, recommend the Gold and the Sauvignon was well chilled. All Covid regulations being observed and whole pub very clean. Dogs welcome and great garden too.

This is the most covid secure place we’ve found since unlocking (we were shielding). Tables really well spaced out, hand sanitiser on the tables, disposable menu’s, one in-one out system for the loos. Great to see face-shields are used when delivering & announcing the food, very sensible. Staff are really so very impressive, friendly & really care about your experience. Food is fantastic every time without fail. Steaks consistently well cooked & the Stilton sauce is very yummy! Fish and chips are the best I’ve ever had. We keep coming back to this place (and driving past several other pubs on the way), as it really is the best around in our opinion. Can’t wait to go back again! :)

Having eaten from the takeaway menu during lockdown, we decided that our friends' should try it too. The virus protection in place here is second to none! Sanitiser at the door and a small bottle by the table at your seating place, ensured clean hands at all times! The idea of a fence panel between each table is pure genius. Decorated with fairy lights, it made the atmospshere intimate and fun, ensuring no one had any contact with anyone else. The "one in, one out" system for the loo worked well too. Now to the important bit ................ the food. I had steak followed by white chocolate cheesecake with raspberries and ice cream, to die for. The young couple who run the pub are very dedicated to their cause and it shows in the way you are greeted and looked after. Jason is THE best chef, his food is just delicious. His infectious wife Sally makes you feel so welcome, it's a real pleasure to be there. Thank you from us all

Firstly I would like to mention how impressed I was with the Covid measures in place, this pub certainly has all the boxes ticked here in keeping both staff and customers safe! Sunday lunch was excellent, the best I have sampled in a long time. Staff extremely polite and friendly and the pub is in a beautiful location.. Will definately be visiting this pub again and recommending to family and friends.

Tasty Sunday roast here. Food was great and service prompt. Lovely views out the back and a super pub garden. Very COVID sorted - staff serve to a table next to you and you get your own food so perfect if you’re nervous about going out.

Went to the Crown this evening with my partner, I had the bbq chicken wings with Chipotle, the mouthwatering Belly pork with root vegetables, finished with the homemade chocolate brownie. My partner had the cheesy balls, chicken wrapped in bacon, followed by the passionfruit cheesecake. As a manager in hospitality, I could not fault the food at all, it was really superb, and I will certainly be recommending this place to my friends and family. We will be back for Sunday lunch! Oh and very impressed with the COVID measures implemented here, a sanitised high five from me!

Was looking forward to Sunday lunch as had seen plates of it coming out to the garden a couple of weeks ago and it looked great. My husband had beef and I had lamb,I've eaten worse but will not be having it again. Meat was poor ,the rest was ok

A bit biased but this is a very good local pub with very much better than average pub food at reasonable prices. Sunday lunches are extremely popular with two sittings. I can’t speak highly enough about the staff who’s attitude and hard work make this a very good place to eat and drink at a price that won’t melt your credit card.I should mention my partner is gluten free and they can tweak most things on the menu to allow for this.

Called in here 17/3, at start of covid19 outbreak. Sensible hygiene measures in place - gel on entry etc. Lovely welcome and great food. Big level car park to stay in with an offer to go into another enclosed area if we had a dog with is. We were able to stay overnight in our motorhome. Food excellent. Real ales. Dog friendly. Highly recomended.

What a nice pub. The stand out thing to comment on is the staff. They are a lovely, welcoming, young team who could not do enough for their customers and we were made to feel very welcome. It’s a large pub with a big garden. We enjoyed a salmon pasta dish and a beef casserole. However, there was a wide choice of other items including a selection of pies, steaks, burgers, veggie options and specials. A real fire was roaring away at one end of the pub and it was busy with lots of customers on a Wednesday evening in February so they must be doing something right for a village pub.

Fish was overfried and dry. Staff were very nice and service good but the fish was not good. The other meals in our party were fine but very disappointed with fish.

Fantastic attitude and customer service, my wife and I chanced our luck and arrived literally minutes before the kitchen closed at 9pm. Nothing was to much trouble, table service was always with a smile and seemed genuinely happy to be serving us. Food was faultless, off the charts for quality and taste, served super hot

Its best to book in advance as it does get booked up .There are 2 sittings 12pm and 2pm for their Sunday Carvery , Meat is excellent choice of Beef, Pork or Turkey , very good yorkies and roast potatoes and very good selection of veggies , Service for drinks and desserts was attentive but relaxed, all in all a good reasonably priced Sunday lunch I can understand why it was busy ,

Great stopover for our campervan. Excellent beer and a very good restaurant with a very tempting, well-priced menu. Very friendly staff. Would certainly visit again.

We had a lovely meal with a table of 11 people on the weekend before Christmas . We all had different choices ,some from Xmas menu and others not . The service was second to none . The staff bent over backwards to make our evening extremely enjoyable .The food was delivered quickly and efficiently . I had the soup , turkey meal and Christmas pudding and it was very delicious . The atmosphere in the pub was lovely . I would thoroughly recommend this pub for a good meal and service .

So many restaurants and bars nowadays find it difficult to cater effectively for larger groups but The Crown Inn staff made it look easy and very enjoyable. 52 Ramblers members enjoyed a delicious festive lunch with all the trimmings. The food was hot, plentiful and very tasty, the service quick and efficient.Nothing was too much trouble and the chefs and bar staff fully deserved their round of applause and a full Christmas hat full of tips! We shall be back again whenever we can and certainly next Christmas.

A large group of us visited for a group mid day meal. Staff copied extremely well with this big group. Food despite the size of group was excellent. Beer is restricted to Arkells ( tied house) With only 2 real ales. Should enable quality to be good from fast turn round. Drinks are on the high side.

Having popped into the pub on a Friday night, we decided to book for the Sunday Carvery and we were not disappointed in any way. There are two sittings, 12pm and 2pm. We booked for 2pm for four people and arrived at 1.30 for a drink first. The car park was full and we got the last space. However as it got close to 2pm the first sitting began to leave and spaces became available.

We’ve eaten here a couple of times recently, in a big group and as a couple. Both times the food is great quality, friendly service and varied menus. Thursday night is Burger night, good range to chose from, burger and chips for £10. They also have the usual menu and a specials board. You can book on line, however note they don’t serve food on a Sunday evening. I’ve also had the smoked salmon bruschetta and the hot steak salad, fish and chips- portions are always a good size! I’d recommend eating here.

Had a lovely evening at The Crown, the staff were very friendly, happy and smiling. The restaurant was very busy and atmosphere was good, sat in a smaller room with a real fire, which we didnt mind as it was abit quieter and we could chat, the food was lovely, would recommend this place, parking was easy.

Lovely food, great choice really enjoyable meal, only downside dinner served over two sittings we booked for 2:00pm and were rushed to leave as closed at 4.00pm

A warm, cosy and friendly pub with excellent service and good parking, we have eaten here on both weeknights and weekends.

Very impressed with the restaurant now. Previously at times it had not been so good so glad we have given it another try. Wednesday is Burger Night and although I had not intended to eat a burger the menu choices were tempting enough for me to change my mind. My husband had the burger with pulled pork, which was huge with plenty of topping and dripping with cheese. I had the chilli burger with jalapenos, mexican cheese etc. Both were delicious and well presented. One of the best burgers I have eaten in a long time. There other menus offer plenty of choice for all.

We go for a carvery and other food here a lot as it's first class, my husband is gluten free and they go out of their way to cater for him. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is great.

We have visited several times and the staff, drinks and food have been great every time. I had the venison and my wife had the pasta. Absolute perfection.

I cannot recommend the crown enough. A warm welcome, decent wheelchair access fantastic service all round and the food was excellent. Definitely a revisit soon.

We visited here as a family of 7 for my mums birthday and it was amazing we had Sunday roast! I had the veggie option of homemade but roast hut I was amazed there was 3 options for me which is so rare you usually only get the one. Loved the food, gravy was incredible apparently. And the staff were very attentive which makes the trip so worth while. There is plenty of seating outside which is also a great option. Love the fact dogs are welcome too. Only one tiny minor thing we all said the parsnips were undercooked but we wouldn’t let this put us off as we’re already planning on visiting again. Superb place!!!!!

Rather disappointing Sunday Lunch, was excited reading previous reviews so decided to pop in for lunch.

So good i’ve been twice in two days!! Went on a Thursday lunchtime and had a delicious salad and some very tasty chips. Then returned the next day with my kids for a quick drink and run around the massive pub garden. Staff are always very friendly and welcoming and even gave my little girls some treats to put under a tree in the garden to tempt the fairies to move in. Service is efficient and friendly, food and drinks are varied and delicious! Will definitely become our new haunt.

As always a very warm welcome. Beautiful Sunday lunch with excellent meat and vegetables. Followed by a light sweet of brulee. Thank you.

Absolutely lovely meal and service! Would recommend to anyone, thank you sally, jason and the team! We visit on average once a month and are never disappointed, always guaranteed a fab meal and welcoming, helpful staff!

We visited for a family birthday Sunday carvery. The pub, staff and service continue to excel and the meal was excellent.

Our friends had been recommended this charming pub so booked a table.

Oh, the cheeseboard is something to behold!

We visited for a team night out on a Wednesday, the pub and staff were very welcoming. Large car park outside. The toilets are very clean and modern.

On arrival at 6pm we were told there were no menus available. There was one large table seated who had been given all the available menus???

The Crown has room for Motorhome Stopovers. Arrived and Landlord came out to greet us before I had a chance to let them know we had arrived. Made us feel very welcome. (You will need to ring ahead). Settled in and later went in for a meal. What can I say, food is absolutely amazing, definitely not pub grub, but they do pub type meals too. Service was excellent as well as ambience. The menu included not one vegetarian meal but five altogether, three I believe were vegan. I was going to try one but was seduced by the Two type pork meal. Well worth a visit and will stay there again if in the area.

We stayed at a farm, just over two miles from this restaurant. This was the nearest restaurant, and it was recommended by the farmer. Nice pub / restaurant, easy to find, great service, comfortable venue with lots of really interesting books to browse on the shelves. Unusual menu from which we enjoyed pies (especially good), and other good things. Large portions, nicely presented, tasty fayre, sensible prices. Visited three times in 7 days because we wanted to rather than because it was the nearest. It was the only restaurant we visited more than once, even though the others were also good and deserved a good review. Other table occupants included families, friends, groups.

Went here for a Mother’s Day meal, and it was delicious. The food is really nicely cooked and the puddings were lovely. Also visited here back in March and that was very nice as well. Would recommend anyone to eat here as very good food.

What an amazing pub. 35 off us went and hada meal for dads 85 th. Food fabulous. Service amazing.Didnt have to wait very long for food. Pub is clean and tidy. 10/10. Highly recommended..Well done everyone

Despite having lived fairly locally for the last seventeen years, we had never visited the pub before, but a friend recommended it to us. We had a wonderful meal to celebrate my birthday and our wedding anniversary. We just had a main and dessert. I had salmon and prawn tagliatelle, which was very tasty, and my husband had chicken with dauphinoise potatoes. For dessert he had cheesecake (always his favourite), and I had the chocolate brownie, which I asked to have with cream rather than ice-cream. It was no problem at all, and came out looking delicious.The staff were very helpful, and I loved the young girl who served us - she had a great sense of humour! We had a lovely evening, and will definitely be going there again. Thank you.

In a large group at lunch time.

Despite the change of ownership The Crown seems to be as busy as ever. 4 of us had lunch & agreed It was a delight. The food was very well prepared & tasted great. I would certainly recommend the Crown to anyone.

I was really disappointed with the carvery we had a couple of weeks back. There used to be a facility to book a table online, this has now been removed so we had to phone. The carvery is now done in sittings as well which was all a bit bizarre. The food used to be excellent at the crown but the carvery we had was really not great. I will say the roast potatoes were fantastic but the rest of the meal was awful.

Our first visit to this friendly country pub and we both really enjoyed it. The fish and chips were huge with a light and crispy batter. We will definitely go back soon

Went here for a meeting with my directors, very impressed with the quality of the food, not just ‘a well known pub chain bung it in the microwave’ type food but every dish seemed to be cooked with a passion, presentation was excellent as well.....

I went with two close friends on Saturday 16th February 2019 and had high hopes of the Crown at Broad Hinton for a meal for my mates 46th birthday celebration. We settled between us on a homemade Beef Burger each at £12.50 a head. When the waitress approached us she got down on her knees and leaned her top half over the table which was a strange way of taking an order she also had a tiresome habit of continually calling us “my lovelies”So we ordered our burger each and the waitress came back after five minutes and said “Burger’s have run out Lovelies sorry what else would you like??” So me and my mate asked for the Duo of pork (belly pork and pork fillets) with dauphinoise potatoes baby vegetables and cider sauce for £18 a portion and the lady we had with us had fish and chips £11.50) the fish and chips looked lovely when it arrived and the lady said it was really nice. However One little thing I noticed, the skin was left on the fish and even chips shops remove it these days. The other two Duet of pork meals were nicely presented and tasty but the portion sizes tiny. Three small pieces of pork tenderloin and a small piece of belly pork a few vegetables and a small square piece of dauphinoise slightly larger than a matchbox. I ate the lot in under five minutes and my mate wasn’t far behind me either. It’s a shame really as it was very tasty but I like a decent plate full of food and dislike leaving a place feeling hungry

Recently taken over by Jason & Sally, this place is fast becoming THE place to eat.

We only live 10 mins down the road from this place but have never been and I don't know why because it was absolutely amazing ! My fillet steak was cooked to perfection and the cheese balls with sweet chilli I had has my starter was out if this world. The onion ring are homemade and are huge ! We finished off with the dark and white chocolate brownie was was also really nice . The atmosphere was lovely and the staff was very friendly . We will definitely be visting again soon .

Visited with friends on a Saturday evening. My friend is a coeliac and the landlady talked through what she could eat and she was delighted to find out that apart from a few dishes she was able to choose from any main dish on the menu as they could make it gluten free on request! She could also have quite a few of the desserts as they naturally make it gluten free. My vegetarians friends had plenty of choice and liked the different vegetarian dishes on offer. Everyone in our party enjoyed the food very much- tasty, fresh and great portion sizes.

Just returned home after a delicious Lunch.lovely bit of halibut. Friendly, efficient service. Would definitely recommend!!

This was our second visit (couple of months apart) and we were still impressed. The food and service has been consistently fantastic. A wide variety of food on the menu including a large number of vegan and vegetarian options. The portion size is large and definitely value for money.

My friends and I had our annual xmas dinner at The Crown in Broad Hinton last night. We were all really impressed, the staff were great, the food lovely and the atmosphere welcoming. Good value for money too, 3 course traditional xmas meal for £25 per head (there were other options if traditional xmas fare is not your thing). Definitely be returning to The Crown in 2019. Thank you The Crown for a lovely evening.

For a mid week visit the pub was absolutely heaving with diners. We hadn't booked so were very fortunate to get a table. Although it was 'steak night' they still offered a full menu; with a good selection of vegan and vegetarian options. The staff were very friendly and the service was quick even though the restaurant area was full. The food was excellent! We'll definitely be returning in 2019.

I visited here a couple of years ago and the food just fell short of expectation. The place is now under new ownership so thought we would give it another go. Tonight was a double birthday celebration so we hoped we were in for a treat.

My partner and myself have recently become regulars. We've been in a couple of times now and I really have nothing bad to say. The food is fantastic and the staff are absolutely amazing! - so friendly and attentive. We looking forward to spending far more time there in the future. I highly recommend!

We had a mix of starters, and for mains some had steaks from the Steak Night menu and others from main menu. The kangaroo and ostrich meal was amazing! All the food was perfectly cooked and served. The waitress was lovely as was the barman who took a phone call from an absent friend to pay our bar bill!! Will definitely be using this as our local..

Comfortable place to eat with varied menu and good service. A convenient venue with good parking. Has the potential to be an excellent local place to eat - will visit again.

Went on a Thursday, which is apparently pie night, two pie meals for £20. Great choice of pies (around 10 options ) including turkey and cranberry, steak and stilton, chicken leak and bacon and vegetarian options etc along side the normal menu. You can chose either chips peas and gravy or mash veg and gravy, the pies are fantastic, the pastry is as good as the fillings, add a side of crispy cheesy dumplings and you are there. Will certainly be going back to try the usual menu and also to try the Wednesday steak night ( build your own for £1 an oz) and the Tuesday fish night with lots of special fish dishes A lucky find and worth the drive.

......for last minute guests while our house is being renovated. The pub went out of their way to accommodate our group, gave us a really warm welcome and we loved the Sunday carvery. Thank you! Well deserved 5*’s.

We called in to visit friends at Broad Hinton and decided to call into the Crown for dinner. The menu was basic pub favourites all at a reasonable price. Tuesday night was fish and chips night, so Haddock and chips were on sale. The scampi was really nice served with chunky chips and peas. Our daughter wolfed down the battered Halloumi which she loved. We enjoyed it so much we booked for Sunday lunch.

Came for lunch on a Wednesday and was pleased to see how busy the restaurant was. For a place off the beaten track feeding a couple of dozen covers at lunchtime is a positive indication of its reputation.

Friendly place, comfortable and clean and the food was good - note to self, try the SMALL portion next time ... and leave room for dessert!!

Tuesday is Fish & Chip night at the Crown Inn, Broad Hinton so we thought we would give it try as a takeout. I am so glad we did it was incredible! Light and fluffy chips served with a delicious portion of fish in crispy batter. Top marks it was extraordinary. We will be back again!!

Just had the sunday carvery. Very nice and piping hot food. Naughty pudding and coffee to finish. Good decor and not squeezed in. Well looked after. Booked their Xmas lunch whilst we were there.

We had an excellent lunch. The food was good and the service was superb. Well done we will certainly be back.

We go regularly to this Inn. The food is excellent and the service is excellent. A very nice atmosphere with friendly staff and a lovely beer garden. Excellent for Sunday roasts. Have tried several other pubs, Inns and Restaurants in this area but this is the best by far. Family friendly and dog friendly.

Just come back from a lovely dinner with three of my friends, celebrating a birthday and we had a lovely evening. The pub was quiet, but that was because it was a Thursday evening. As it was pie night, one of my friends had the pie, I had the Filo wrapped asparagus and the two others had battered halloumi and chips and the pork belly. The staff were very friendly, providing us with extra condiments etc for free when so many other places I’ve been to charge you extra for them!

Me and the wife came here after being gutted that the Calley arms had closed, but nothing to worry about easy to get to from Swindon same fantastic Service from the bar staff and waitresses, the food was Delicious black pudding and chorizo starter, followed by a lovely Venison pie for mains the meat and pastry were lovely, we will be back, if i was to be really picky it would be nice to see a proper cider to wash it down with Old Rosie or black dragon etc but this is being very picky, thank you for a fantastic meal :)

Visited this pub because loved the Calley Arms their previous pub. It was my birthday, so ordered a bottle of chardonnay and having taken one sip of this poured by the waitress I said it was horrible. She asked if I wanted something else and I said I would have a bottle Savignon Blanc instead. She said she would have to charge my daughter and I for a medium glass. As it was my birthday I said OK but was not happy. The food was nothing like as good as at the Calley Arms even though I understand it was the same chef. My husband's pork was tough and the crackling was so hard he sent it back, but all that happened is that it came out again with the pork and crackling separated and the crackling put in a separate dish. I tried it and it was really tough. My monk fish was ok but the chorizio was in tiny lumps and not very attractive. My daughter had steak which she said was tasteless but well cooked and she also commented on the tiny lumps of chorizio. My grandson had fish fingers which were very nice. The puddings were fine. I thought it was very very expensive for pub food and especially as it was not very nice. Definitely will not be returning.

Dog friendly pub,welcomed by staff. Who allowed early entry as one of our party need to use the toilet.. very welcoming. Good selection of food. Very attentive staff. Well cooked & presented food. Only down side small selection of desserts

Very welcoming staff and lots of choice for all- including vegetarian.We went on a steak night and this meal was delicious,with generous cheeseboard to follow. The monkfish was beautifully cooked and presentation was excellent. Will return soon ! Many thanks !

The Crown provided us with a satisfactory Sunday Carvery lunch but it was nothing special. There was a choice of 3 meats, no vegetarian option and no other menu available. The selection of veg was quite good and mostly they were cooked fine except the parsnips which were a bit underdone. At £11.95 for only one course it seemed pretty expensive for such a bland roast dinner. The choice of puddings (£5.50) was very poor - only 3 - though I must say the sticky toffee pudding was huge and delicious. The waiting staff seemed disinterested in their jobs and didn’t really seem to interact. A mistake was made with a drink order but it was exchanged without any fuss. Certainly wouldn’t rush back here.

This was the first time we have been there for an evening meal and we have come away very happy. The food was excellent. I had pork with herby dumplings and our friends had the homemade pie. Really friendly staff and we will definitely be returning.
