The Crown Country Inn Restaurant in Shropshire

We had a lovely evening; we booked our table rather late in the week and the restaurant was very busy, so we were not surprised when there was a bit of a wait for our food. However, the beer was good, the staff were really nice and when the food arrived it was great. It's so nice to see some interesting dishes on the menu, rather than the ubiquitous offerings of most pubs. Gold stars to the hard-working waitress who, despite having to negotiate lots of stairs with the food orders, remained cheerful all evening. Will definitely eat there again.

Lovely spacious room and the food was amazing. Hosts were lovely and we will definitely be returning!

Found by his place via trip Advisor Nice country house in a nice area by the roadside no a not very busy road . A 16th century couching house very quirky place to stay. It’s old so don’t expect everything to be as modern as an newer place because it’s not. The food is amazing its cooked to order and fresh with a great menu. Hosts and staff are friendly and it’s like eating at home with friends x We took our dogs who was well looked after by the owners table to our own with our dog x Definitely recommend it.

We had a two night stay at this lovely quirky pub with breakfast and dinner. The proprietors are lovely, the food excellent and also the 3 rooms, which provide a rustic but luxurious, private experience. The chef/proprietor bakes his own bread which compliments the food served. He also makes his own black pudding which is delicious. All the food is cooked to order using only quality local ingredients. All the staff were friendly and ensured a comfortable stay. The quality of the food and tea and coffee in the rooms is excellent. This is a perfect setting for exploring Shropshire which is a beautiful county. We will be going back to the Crown in the not too distant future.

Had a great weekend staying at The Crown. The food was amazing. We had breakfast and dinner there and it was outstanding. Thoroughly recommend. A perfect location for exploring Shropshire

What a lovely early evening we had there, just a visit as passing through.Food was to a very high standard (our family always say we are critical!) but the meal of halibut with mussels was suberbly cooked as was the pork loin-worth the wait to be served.My husband said he could eat that again! The creme brulee was also delicious,my go-to pud. And the whinberry crumble went down well too. Lovely surroundings.Us & doggies were well looked after too. I'm sure we'll be back as the menu will be seasonal.And we'll book next time!

Initial impressions (from outside) were a bit worrying - the wall facing the car park needs a good paint. But the inside is much nicer and we got a lovely friendly welcome. The menu was great - quite interesting creations. The food quality was also really good, and portions huge. What let the place down was the slowness of the service. We waited three quarters of an hour between our starters and main courses, with no explanation. The place wasn’t busy, and indeed there were four “front of house” staff, all very pleasant, so we assumed there was an issue in the kitchen. Shame.

A thoroughly enjoyable Thursday evening outside event at the Crown on one of their theme nights. Pizza's cooked outside in a pizza oven, salads, home made slaws, good wine, and local beers. The desserts were also excellent.

Recently enjoyed an amazing evening at the crown for a special family occasion .top notch service and ,food from start to finish .thank you to Richard ,Jane and the team for making it a night to remember .

Pizza night. Beautiful setting outside with some tables undercover also. Home built pizza oven in the corner and the chefs hard at work. It’s dog friendly, but dogs must (understandably) be on a lead at all times. Food was delicious as ever. Everything bursting with flavour. Also THE best Creme Brulee I have ever had. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Four of us went for Sunday lunch and were delighted to sit upstairs where there a lovely open fire. The service was excellent and two of us had haggis for starters which was beautifully presented and very tasty. We all enjoyed our main course, three had roast beef and I had rabbit pie. All delicious. 3 of us had desert: chocolate fondant, sticky toffee and date pudding, biscuits and cheese. Absolutely splendid and generous portions. Altogether a lovely meal in super surroundings.

Four of us visited for Sunday lunch as we were staying in the area for an anniversary weekend. We arrived at 12.30 early for our 2pm booking but staff were relaxed and accommodating, we had lovely cocktails to start followed by the most amazing 3 courses of food. All the staff were friendly and service was excellent. We hope to return and combine with an overnight stay.

We visited while friends were down from Scotland after having a great meal in the past and again everything was spot on. We arrived around the same time as a table of 12 so we thought there may be some delays, but it was as if that table wasn’t there. Service was as prompt as ever. 4 of us had completely different meals and not a single crumb was left on any plate. I myself had a desert even though I was fully and it was beautiful. Genuinely no matter what you order here, everything is bursting with flavour. You never need salt and pepper because everything is spot on and I have pepper on everything at home. Hats off to the staff here. The service was spot on. Our friends were very impressed too.

This historic inn is an ideal place for an overnight B&B stop along the four or five day walk along the Jack Mytton Way, it being only a mile or so from the southern end of Wenlock edge. Our hosts, and their very well behaved dog, were very welcoming at the end of a long trek, and couldn't do enough for us. I'm still very grateful for the emergency hot glue-gun repair they did to my boot which had a Charlie Chaplin style flapping sole. Without it I/we may have had to abandon the next three days walking. (The repair held until we reached Wales and I didn't need to lash the boot together with string also provided as a back-up). We would have stayed full board knowing the 'Crown Inn' has a high reputation for its evening restaurant, but being too early in the week for this we were nonetheless offered a meal from the kitchen prepared just for us as the only residents. However, we had already arranged to go to a nearby pub for food and a few pints, and were then kindly issued with a large fully charged torch for our night walk there and back. We slept soundly in the very comfortable and quiet bedroom, despite 'The Crown' being an inn situated by the roadside with occasional rural traffic, and enjoyed an excellent and generous cooked breakfast the next morning which fuelled us for another full day's walking without the need for lunch. I look forward to returning soon, (by car next time as my boots are now in the bin), to dine in the beautiful, old interior of the inn's restaurant.

What a wonderful place to visit, friendly staff, outstanding food and wide selection of drinks. Off the beaten track yes but seriously don’t let that put you off, worth the drive as the location is great and the roads are picturesque 👏👏👏👏 We stopped off in our motorhome and would most definitely visit again on our travels up north. Thank you team for your professionalism and hospitality 🤙

We celebrated a very special birthday here with diners ranging in age from 5 to 90! The welcome was warm, all of the meals were delicious, perfectly cooked to our liking and beautifully presented. Varied Seasonal menu using local produce. Altogether excellent.

We came to the crown inn for a nice relaxed evening and had just that. Fantastic food and drink. Amazing service and prices not bad either. Thank you for a brilliant evening we will definitely recommend to other family and friends and return soon!!!!

The warmest of welcomes, roaring fires, cosy atmosphere, interesting and varied seasonal menu, absolutely delicious food and wine. Highly recommended! Thank you all at the Crown.

Tried phoning , email and another call at which point I was told I would be called back. 5 hours later got an email with general info asking me to call. Gave up can’t be worth the effort , chose a welcoming pub instead

We had two steaks and a bottle of Rioja - sublime. Excellent service - very friendly as always. It felt safe in these uncertain times.

We’ve just enjoyed one of the best takeaway Sunday lunches in our garden! Especially enjoyed the raspberry tart! Thank you Jane & Rich x

A big Thank you to Jane and Richard for all their efforts at keeping us well fed with a lovely takeaway service to look forward to in these difficult times Friday nights fish and chips followed by a strawberry tart were just what we needed...

Since lockdown Jane and Richard at The Crown have been serving top quality takeaway meals and selling the best bread and pastries anyone could wish for. They have truly been at the heart of the community, definitely 5 star!

The charity I work for organised a community tree planting event in Munslow last weekend, and The Crown provided an absolutely delicious lunch each day, which powered us through the afternoon. Jane and Richard were so friendly and helpful when I booked, making great suggestions...

Food was excellent menu didn’t explain detail. Service was very rushed. Heating was very poor. Still got storage heaters which don’t do the job. Shame it hasn’t moved on with the heating after same owners for years. Won’t go again in the winter.

We wanted to take American visitors to a country pub for lunch, and couldn't think of a better one than the Crown. They were delighted with everything, from the welcome to the food, and went home with the happy memories we were hoping for.

6 of us had a brilliant evening, great, flavorsome pies, including a gluten free variety. Always an enjoyable evening, and well looked after by hosts Jane and Richard.

We stayed DB&B for two nights on a November weekend with Buyagift. The inn is a wonderful old building, more of a restaurant than a bar which is understandable given the chef and the quality of food We ate here both nights and found all...

staff are so friendly and welcoming in here. Had the goats cheese to start which was tasty especially with the beetroot but i must admit, it didn't taste much like goats cheese. Had beef fillet for main which was cooked just right. Had creme brulee for sweet which on the menu stated white chocolate ice cream, but came with summer fruit ice cream which was very nice. All reasonably priced as well.

Stayed at the inn at the weekend. Had a lovely time. Food was superb service excellent and the boxer dog was so lovely I wanted to take her home with me.

We were visiting the area for the day and had been recommended a local pub which we could not find! Luckily for us we stumbled across The Crown instead and we are so pleased that we did!

We visited on the occasion of our Wedding Anniversary in August 2019. This was a great decision! We were made very welcome by the Hostess and shown to our room.. There are 3 rooms named after local castles and places of interest nearby. The room was spacious and tastefully furnished. the bathroom large and very well appointed, the bed very comfortable. Everything you could wish for was there.

excellent lunch, great service and a warm welcome. choice of 1,2,3 courses. very good presentation and lovely flavours with all the meals. Highly recommend and will return

We love this place, the friendly welcome and Richards great cooking. Every item on the plate has been presented and cooked in just the best way possible. We have re-visited a few times this year for family celebrations and recently two anniversaries. Every visit is a pleasure as our chef really thinks through about the best way to prepare every item on the plate. We just enjoyed a great Sunday Lunch which simply stands out in the land of Sunday Lunches! Valentines was a pleasure, we stayed overnight in one of the Crowns charming rooms. Tables were dressed beautifully and terrific food.

What a find! Had the best meal here last night. Baked loin of cod and then home made ice cream with espresso, amaretto and shortbread. My friends and husband all had different dishes and every one of them was amazing!

Looking at this property from the outside, we thought we had made a mistake booking here. We realised on entering that we were wrong. The lady in charge was very pleasant and very professional. When seated we were given a bread basket that was warm and fresh with an interesting tasty butter. This was a generous portion and a good start to the meal. I would recommend the goats cheese dumplings and risotto to start. Both were absolutely delicious. It was steak night so 3 had steak which were of a high standard of beef and I had the cod dish which I really loved. Overall a very high standard of cooking. Thoroughly recommend this place. Maybe improve the exterior as it may put off drive by diners

Tempted by the TA reviews we booked a table a couple of weeks before our trip to Shropshire,but it was a quiet lunchtime as a table for 12 had cancelled only that morning according to the welcoming landlady. First impression is of an unloved car park across the road and our expectations lowered, however the comfortable surroundings and efficient service offset that slight negative and the food was excellent. A big shout out to the wait staff, Beth, who dealt extremely professionally with a nearby table of two couples, one of whom appeared to revert to the 1970’s in his attitude to young women with every glass of wine he drank.

We visited as a large family group today. The staff were lovely and so helpful and really went the extra mile to meet our dietary needs. I try and eat vegan as much as possible and this was catered for readily. The food was great and it was nice to see little extra touches like petite fours with our coffee. The physical environment in the pub is lovely, again with some lovely touches.

A lovely restaurant...Phenomenal food, beautiful presentation, excellent service! Would recommend highly!

We were greeted on arrival by this VERY efficient young lady who could not have been any more obliging than she was.

I can't believe it's been so long since I reviewed this lovely inn - we've eaten there a number of times since my last review. There's always a warm welcome from Jane, and delicious food produced by Richard, with plenty of options for vegetarians. Generous portions means there's not always room for their tempting desserts, but this time we did manage to eat three courses. It was the first visit for the friends we brought with us, and they were impressed.

Everything from start to finish was excellent.Food was out of this world.Would definitely recommend . Service, location and hospitality very goid

We have had a delightful meal tonight in this little gem of a pub. Very welcoming staff, beautifully presented and delicious food. Very good menu choices. Would thoroughly recommend and will certainly be back.

Our son bought us a groupon voucher for this restaurant- not happy with the table allocated not in main restaurant,

We called in on a Thursday lunchtime in November when the restaurant was very quiet. The "pie of the day" was both imaginitive and tasty, with excellent chips. We then had coffee with the fantastic home made petit fours. At this stage I would have rated the establishment 5 stars.

I was in the area on business and getting close to my destination, was looking for somewhere to have lunch (having rushed out with no breakfast)

Had a really good Sunday lunch here, a hard thing to find these days I find. Proper well cooked food In a world of all you can eat carveries.

Arrived after nearly making a most serious culinary mistake at a nearby pub ....one of those places where the main kitchen skills consist of defrosting and reheating

This was the third time we have visited the Crown during three holidays nearby over the last eight years and its standards remain high. Some distance from any town, the restaurant certainly "merite le detour". The menu is imaginative, tasty and beautifully presented, although it is not so broad as that of many places which simply advertise the fact that they have a large deep-freeze. The welcome from the proprietors, Mr and Mrs Arnold is warm and genuine and their delightful assistant makes the service a true pleasure. The prices are most reasonable for the quality of the catering. The whole atmosphere is that of a pleasant traditional English pub/eatery.

Seven of us from HPB Upper Norton Farm dined here. Menu was pre-ordered, but really that did not matter. It was clear that everything was freshly prepared. Good mix of dishes, and a choice of 3 soups. Service was good nicely paced and not obtrusive. Overall a verygood meal to be recommended.

Booked for a family Sunday lunch yesterday. The service was extremely friendly and attentive and the food was excellent - both taste and value for money. Those who had the pork all loved the creamed cabbage (must remember to ask for more next time!) and the warm polenta cake was delicious - the oldest member of the party clearing his plate in double-quick time! The whole experience was a delight. Thank you to all the team at the Crown.

We stayed here for three nights recently. The rooms are a reasonable size and comfortable, although ours was a bit lacking in storage space. Tea, coffee and water are replenished daily (although the coffee bags they use are disgusting). Breakfast, cooked by owner Richard, was extraordinary. Fresh local bacon, eggs and sausages are complemented by his home-made black pudding (which is delicious) and baked beans. After two mornings he even laid my favourite sauce out on our table for me. It's a great value lodging but worth visiting for the food alone.

This was our last on stop on the way home from our holiday. The accommodation was clean and comfortable with a fantastic welcome. The food was outstanding from breakfast to evening meal including desert Absolutely delicious.

On the way to Sheinton we passed this place, thought it looked nice turned round and came in for lunch. we received a really warm so happy to see you welcome.

We arrived very tired after spending all day canoeing down the Wye. The warm welcome made us feel better straight away, and after a great meal with attentive service we felt completely restored. The food was delicious - well-cooked and inventive without being fussy or over-elaborate. This chef knows what he's doing!

I was planning to stay in another hotel but THANKFULLY they had messed up the booking!!

We had a lovely Sunday roast. The portions were very generous, the food was very tasty and the service was very friendly.

The owners, Richard and Jane could not have done more to make our stay more enjoyable. The accommodation is fine with breakfasts to die for and the evening meals were all superb with a varied menu and beautifully cooked. We will be back to enjoy the wonderful surrounding countryside and of course the food.

This was a lucky find - the result of a last-minute Google search on our way home. Delicious food, a warm welcome from a husband and wife team, and a lovely garden. The kids (3&6) were made very welcome. Not cheap but the quality of the food is well worth the prices. highly recommended.

We had endured a long drive on poor roads - and we so needed a good pub. And there it was! This is a really old, traditional pub building with a thoroughly modern welcome from a couple who have built it up over 17 years. We were there for a quiet Sunday lunch - but The Crown is clearly a local social hub as well.

We arrived about 6.50pm (booked) on a midweek night. We ordered at 7.10 but waited about 50/55 minutes for our dinner. We did not have a starter and the restaurant was empty when we got there. However we were served some delicious bread and butter. Our meals were very tasty, the staff were friendly and we thought the prices reasonable. The interior is informal and full of character.

We arrived for "pie and pud" night, which takes place once a month.

We arrived at the Crown at 7.20pm, for a table booked for 7.30, thinking we could sample the local brew before dinner. Sadly all 3 of the local bitters were 'down', all that was available was a lager and Guinness! The place was cold, as was my large glass of Malbec (£7.70 a glass!). The starters were fine, however, despite a discussion with the head waitress re portion size, the main was more like a child's portion than an adults! No quality check from the staff, no 'is everything ok with your meal?'. The place was half empty and lacked atmosphere. Having finished, I told the waitress I was disappointed with the mains. A cursory 'sorry' followed which was distinctly snotty! We paid and left, £70 worse off! Not impressed one bit, won't be returning!!

Wow fantastic meal nibbles, fishcake, and outstanding cod dish could not fit creme brulee in this time but kindly gave it me to take home. Ambience and attention to detail second to none.

We have been visiting The Crown for many years as we lived locally and the food, atmosphere and service has always been excellent. It's been over a year since our last visit as we have moved out of the area but couldn't resist coming back as we were staying with friends close by. I wouldn't have thought it was possible to say the food was even better but that's how it felt!!

Really great menu with interesting selection, not your typical pub grub. We had the beef and it was excellent, so tender!

Once again, Richard, Jane and the team have proved they're on top of their game. We've been a few times and on each occasion the food gets better. Everything looks so simple, but it always has a wow. Whether the legendary black pudding, bacon, belly pork, or seriously 'dangerous' deserts ..... all, once again, far exceeded our high expectations.

I never do a review on a restaurant that I have previously reviewed unless there is a very good reason. In this particular case instead of an intimate dinner for two this was a full blown party of 35 but I am not going to write a review. Let my colleagues who attended do it for me.

We had such a lovely evening here for our Christmas Party. A very warm welcome from Jane and very helpful, the staff are very attentive. Thanks to Richard for providing a vegan menu the food was absolutely delicious, and presentation was excellent. A visit is highly recommended. We will be back. Thanks

This meal was so good it is really difficult to add new compliments! We stayed for two nights and will submit the hotel review separately, one night for dinner. As others commented, the great duo of Richard and Jane are on top of kitchen and front of house without any slips. Quality of drinks on offer is very high and probably helpful to comment on the great dishes we ate. Cod cheeks starter was a tasty treat very well prepared and something unexpected in deepest Shropshire. Pork two ways and a lovely dish made from collar bacon were also creative and tasted super. All the food we had was filling enough, even without the dessert! ....well it would be rude not to....Our only regret is that we didn't eat here on both nights but then again we like to investigate local cultures to the fullest possible!

Stopped with friends to celebrate my birthday. Couldn't have had a warmer welcome or been more helpful. We all enjoyed a wonderful dinner followed by a great breakfast this morning. A real find.

Tuvimos el placer de comer en el Crown Inn y también alojarse en una de sus 3 habitaciones anoche.

Llamamos a la Corona la última noche en nuestro camino a casa de Burwarton mostrar en la oportunidad que podíamos comer algo. Nos invitaron a una comida absolutamente excelente, y el servicio era muy bueno también. Los chicos disfrutaron de la mejor. Ludlow.

Tenía comida con una gran fiesta que organizaron muy bien, aunque tuvimos que esperar un poco. Sin embargo, valió la pena por la comida. Buena selección de ginebras. El restaurante es poco algunas escaleras, pero se puede comer en el bar de abajo.

Si estás buscando un sitio donde alojarse en Shropshire no busques más allá de esta excelente ubicación. Idealmente situado para visitar Ludlow, Bridgnorth y las zonas de los alrededores. Habitación muy cómoda y limpia, con cuarto de baño con ducha. Bar y restaurante bien presentado, con un ambiente acogedor. Los propietarios y el personal era muy acogedor y amable. Fantástica comida con buena elección en el menú. Tuve terrina y mi esposa con nata champiñones para comenzar. Ambos eran excelentes. La terrina casera muy sabrosa. Ambos tuvimos el pescado del día que era un pez espada preparado con una costra de chorizo frito, verdes y salsa de mantequilla de limón. Sabor y calidad excelente. Toda la comida era fantástica, no sorprendió ya que el chef chef principal acreditado. El desayuno también era delicioso. Ambos tuvimos el desayuno de Shropshire, que tenía casera morcilla, muy sabroso. Sin duda recomendaría este hotel como un lugar para quedarse y esperamos volver pronto.

Absolutely superb lunch and in a different league to most pub or other restaurants. Imaginative, good quality food cooked and presented superbly well. Lovely location/building. Fabulous meal at a very fair price. Well worth travelling for.

Stayed here with friends whilst attending a concert nearby in Walcott Hall. We researched the area beforehand and chose The Crown Inn based on its reputation for great accommodation and fabulous food. The owners were super friendly, professional and very warm and welcoming. The bedrooms were very clean, well appointed and most charming in appearance. I enjoyed a good nights sleep, as did my friends. The 3 course lunch we had was excellent and Richard the chef/owner excelled himself with the fresh local ingredients and his culinary flair. If booking for accommodation or just to enjoy good food, you won't be disappointed. There's not many places I would visit twice, but this is definitely one of them.

Can only give an excellent review for this place!! We recently stayed here as our friends were getting married nearby!! The staff were so friendly and very accommodating!! The rooms were beautiful and the bed was the most comfortable bed we've ever slept in!! We will definitely return again

Visited twice for lunch - found a comfy spot near the bar and enjoyed lovely food (liver parfait, chicken pie, black pudding, salmon, pork belly, soup amongst others) and excellent ale (Three Tuns). However we the booked Easter Sunday Lunch and were very disappointed with the main meat course of pork with insipid gravy, underdone roast, stuffing which was like a brick and flavourless and why Yorkshire Pudding with pork?). We would have given four or five stars without this lunch so my advise is avoid the Sunday Lunch like the plague.

I posted a review inadvertently a month ago, and have had to wait a month to complete it. (TA rules) Quite simply, the combination of quality produce and expert cooking coupled also with excellent presentation, gave the boss and I a memorable meal. Remote for us it may be, but we and Doris will return.

Wonderful fresh home cooked food in magnificent surroundings. Beamed ceilings and huge fireplaces.Good beers (I like real ale) at prices about the same as my local.

We took advantage of a Travelzoo offer and with the help of Doris, our friendly Sat Nav, found the Crown situated on the roadside between the middle of nowhere and the back of beyond. To be honest, this is not a pretty pub from the outside, and given its location will always be a destination venue.Inside, the real fire and staff offer a great we

Delightfully rustic The Crown is both cosy and quaint. The menu proved difficult in respect of it's abundance of enticing choices. On hearing a member of our party was vegetarian the owner came over discuss potential menu adjustments to increase her choice...service of a level I haven't experienced anywhere else. Great food, exemplary service and a charming setting. A must visit eaterie.

Delicious meals here on several occasions and really good value too, considering the high standard of food on offer. Very nicely presented and served by helpful, friendly staff. They work hard at getting it just right. A real pleasure to eat here.Definitely worth a visit. We look forward to returning.

You will not be disappointed with the quality and selection of food on offer; the service afforded by Jane, Richard and Harriett made the experience so very enjoyable. Thank you guys!

Highly recommend a visit to the Crown Country Inn.....Jane Richard and their fab team served us a fantastic Mother's Day Lunch, absolutely perfect! Lovely touch at the end when we left, I was presented with two beautiful garden flowers. Food amazingRelaxed atmosphere Great staff

This 2 night stay was a Christmas present from our daughter. It was a lovely old building and our room was very spacious. We had a lovely welcome from Harriet and the dog!!!We had a lunch that day and evening meal which were delicious. We met Richard the next morning. He was very friendly. Food was very good both nights. Plenty choice at breakfast.

We had booked a table last Friday for Lunch here, somewhere we have driven past so often and never stopped. Lovely welcome upon arrival by Harriet ...who by the way was magnificent throughout!! We were offered a choice of table and chose one between the bar and the fireplace ...good choice. We were served quickly with drinks and menu thoroughly explained. We had three courses and added breads etc and we honestly could not fault one little thing. The entire experience was perfect!!

The friendly reception and excellent food was matched by the comfortable and spacious accommodation. We enjoyed our spring stay and would not hesitate to return

Lots of restaurants and gastro inns do a decent job these days,thanks partly to Trip Advisor. You gotta be good to stand out, and The Crown does that. Took the three course menu. Complimentary dips followed by chicken liver pate with chutney, then tender slow cooked belly of pork, ending with a creme brûlée. Couple of pints of local ale all for about £35. Everyone else more than happy with their choices. Service was perfecto. Surroundings lovely, albeit in the middle of nowhere and had to phone for directions. Ample parking. At this point I would like to say something bad so that you know I am being objective...I cannot. It was superb. Book and go !

My wife and I had a delight full lunch and decided to book an overnight stay the following week and again found the restaurant gave superb value and choice. Richards Black Pudding starter was fantastic!!!. The Big Breakfast certainly made a great start for the day!! The Inn and the restaurant and gems!!

Having a lovely apartment in the countryside whenever home in the area whether Winter or Summer I take the car for a drive and search for good restaurants,I had been disappointed by the town of the Craven Arms and was on my way back to Stourbridge.The Crown was on my left and a small carpark to my right so I pulled in for lunch at midday,there were a few people at the bar and a charming lady sat me beside a roaring fire.The menu was outstanding offering gourmet Fayre and I indulged with three courses and each was better than the first,apparently the restaurant has been awarded Masterchef of Great Britain which I think is as good as Michelin star.I am not going to mention the menu as I believe its changes regularly.Also offered are short breaks,romantic weekend and just fabulous food,if you wonder what I rave about go and try it for yourself,like I mentioned walking in the door in Winter I left feeling I had found the summer.............Congratulations to proprietors: Jane and Richard Arnold,I will be back.......

Visited Saturday 18th February 2017:Friendly greeting from the moment we walked in, treated with respect but in an extremely relaxed manner, lovely cosy surroundings....oh, yes - nearly forgot.....the food - well the mushroom starter I had was actually perfect (just take that in for a second....it was perfect!) sea bass main was beautiful, tasty, beautifully cooked and presented a joy to eat. My partner had goats cheese starter which I had to try...again beautiful, her main was beef brisket which was gorgeous. The Crown Country Inn absolutely demonstrates that country restaurants can be as good - in this case far better - than town/city venues. You even get served with a smile and a quiet reassuring confidence from friendly staff. Lovely evening...thank you!!

Beautiful dinner. Fabulous service and the quirky tapas stable pre starters are to die for.....try the chilli chorizo and chick peas...yummy! The paso primero wine is lovely and is made in Spain by a local couple. We would definitely return if we are in the area again.

5 of us had a very atmospheric Sunday lunch. My herb crusted pollock with mussel sauce was the best choice- fine dining indeed. The large plate of mixed veg and roast potatoes were a really sociable success. The roast pork was ok but the Yorkshire puddings soft. Good nibbles at the table and a fine Sauvignon Blanc got the party started. The owner was a bit sharp but her dog was wonderfully sloppy. A good experience in a cosy inn on a miserable day.

This is rapidly becoming our preferred stopping off point on our way to Wales, the inside of the pub is delightful I can just imagine being inside with a howling storm going on & feeling lovely & cosy by the wood burner.The food is really quite outstanding last visit was a Serloin steak cooked exactly how we like the & the chips are fantastic.Jane is a great host always prepared to have a chat & attentive in a way that is not obtrusive.We both like this place so much we will be visiting for many years to come.If I could score it higher then I would!
