The Crown Hotel Restaurant in Richmondshire

Four of us had a fantastic evening meal in this lovely pub. The landlord was brilliant and extremely welcoming along with the young lady who served our food. Will we be back. most definitely. 5 stars. 👍

Stayed here for a couple of nights and have to say , what a great pub. The staff are really friendly and welcoming. The food is absolutely amazing. Will definitely be back.

Ordered two cider's,two gyros (one chicken and one pork). Sadly the chicken was more like chicken nuggets and the pork was more like pulled pork. Not in any way like gyros ( we've been to Greece a fair few times). The cider's were the highlight.The items also took an age to arrive,very slow service and the place wasn't even busy,ruined our afternoon in Hawes really and we love Hawes. Sadly we don't recommend nor shall we be using this venue again. By the way I hate leaving negative reviews but was bad.

What an amazing pub and the food is fantastic, we stayed in the village for one night as we were going to the Wensleydale creamery on Good Friday (amazing place). Well we arrived at the village and sadly no parking was available so we had to park on the outskirts! This was not good as we were staying in the B&B and had luggage! Well we walked into the village and called in the crown for lunch, best decision we could have made. We were warmly greeted by a lovely lady behind the bar latter found out she is called Toni, she served our drinks and lunch which I can highly recommend. When I explained we were staying at the B&B and couldn’t find a parking space she very kindly directed us to her private space then directed us to where we had booked our overnight stay. That evening we returned to the Crown for evening meal Toni and her partner Rob had a table ready for us and once again the food was delicious (compliments to the chef) I can not rate this establishment highly enough, definitely recommend, thank you for looking after us :-)

Generally ok pub in Hawes. Strange policy of placing Reserved cards on all the tables confusing customers who want to come in and sit down n for a drink when the tables were not actually Reserved. Bit of local bother but Generally an ok pub

Came in for a drink and food and was met by a arrogant lady called Toni/y who was pretty boisterous and absolutely disgusting, I actually couldn't believe how she spoke to people, I feel sorry for her staff that has to deal with the way she is, we was bringing alot of money to the pub with the amount of people we had, food and drinks, I will not recommend coming here, she asked why I asked her name and then stated that I'm a hero for leaving a bad review, absolutely disgusting, we walked out after one drink and will not be returning, will be telling people to avoid here if they visit.

Amazing food, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. We came as a large group who needed lots of food after a long day in the Peaks, the Crown was the perfect place. We were so well looked after. The burgers are delicious and the Turkish chicken was amazing. The sticky toffee pud was also an absolute highlight. Huge portions in a lovely environment and such a lovely friendly team of people serving. Thank you!

Booked in for a meal 4 adults. They had an offer on 2 steaks for £30. Me and my friend had this. Cooked perfectly. My wife had the Chilli Beef. Her portion was that large she couldn't finish it. I tried it That was beautiful as well. My friends wife had the chicken dish which came in a sauce. Devoured. Excellent food and service. I spoke with the manager at the end of our meal and was advised that the steaks were sourced locally which is nice to know. Thanks again. Mike

Incredibly lovely staff who very accommodating of some food intolerances and some picky eaters. Food was excellent - burgers and desserts were a highlight! Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area.

I found this pub scruffy and dirty

Good pub and beer well kept by friendly staff. Haven't eaten or stayed there but was impressed by the fact that while they were not serving food until later, they were advising people where else to eat

Absolutely lovely Pub with friendly polite service and great selection of beers pulled well.

A most welcoming village pub with a range of local beer and others on draughty. We were to early for meals but enjoyed a relaxing few hours in the pub

Good pint and the chicken gyros was a really good tasty lunch.

Wonderful experience. Food was lovely and very different to your normal pub food. Staff extremely friendly and very welcoming

Came in here for Sunday lunch and they were clearly having a bad day. Roast dinner was cold and returned for a refund, and lunch service was stopped. Not sure what went wrong, but apparently the regular chef wasn't working. Been back since for drinks, but haven't seen any food service.

Have just visited for a few beers and stayed for a lovely evening meal. Great atmosphere and staff were welcoming. We will be back

Went in for a quick pint had 4 went somewhere else went back 2 more and food was expecting basic pub food but was absolutely delighted with the food on offer it was tasty filling and not overfaced staff were great and friendly as were the locals we met in there definitely going back next time I'm over that way

Terrible meal ordered the crown burger and it came with three frozen chicken fillets disgusting don't know what to say

Not sure where to start. Only one table was in, and yet we seemed an inconvenience. The food is below average, pay £20 for the top dish, to find it was frozen chicken nuggets, food very cold and came out at all differant time Atmosphere terrible, no music, no coffee cups, no hot chocolate, no ice, no cutlery wrapped, dirty glasses, toilets are dirty with loose wires everywhere. Only one staff member on, making excuses all the time, making us feel uncomfortable. What a shame, lovely village, wish I had gone to the cafe down the road for half the price.

What a fantastic pub and restaurant! Amazing staff who are so friendly, kind and extremely hard working! Such a great atmosphere with an amazing selection of beers and drinks and the food is awesome! If you are visiting Hawes make the crown your first stop. We will definitely be back soon

Amazing pub! Superb food and the best staff! Best New Year’s Eve ever! So friendly and welcoming too. Great band and singer on, plenty of good beer and drinks selection. If you are visiting Hawes make the Crown your first stop! We will be definitely be back soon

Quick pint bar staff lovely and helpful will call again

With in easy reach of town, lake and bus station. Would recommend to other's.

Incredible food and lovely staff! We ( a family of 7) came here for a Christmas dinner treat, so the pressure was on… Fortunately the crown delivered like Santa on Christmas night. The staff always had a smile on their face, and handled everything in their stride. No request was too much for the hard working team. The plates hosted a hearty, and flavourful meal. Big enough to feed the whole village. From now on, if I’m ever near the area, I will have to pop in. (And will be recommending this place to everyone I know)

Visited and had a beer, would have stayed to eat but it was cold inside, and the people in the back room were very rowdy. Beer was ok but will continue to use the other 3 pubs which are warm and welcoming.

First time back in The Crown since reopening - how lovely - lovely food and great friendly service - pub had a lovely atmosphere - we will be back!

Visited for lunch, never been to Hawes before. Beautiful location, beautiful interior real wood fires, had soups salads home cooked hand cut chips grilled halloumi all excellent and reasonably priced. Very friendly staff warm welcome, would recommend and definitely visit again

Have returned many times to The Crown for drinks and a meal. It's recently been taken over and a new chef. The food was great as always. Would recommend.

Popped in for a drink only. Nice pub with lots of quotes from kings and Queens of England as decor along with paintings.

Friendly and cosy pub with an excellent pint of Old Peculier. Thank you for being there just when we needed a drink after a long walk.

Only came in for Sunday lunch, so glad we did! Friendly staff and delicious food. Couldn't fault it.

We had a very enjoyable time here.  We had really warm welcome from lovely friendly staff who kindly brought our drinks to our table in the bar.  We were intrigued by the middle eastern vibe of the menu and were very impressed with the high quality food we received.  We loved the lamb moussaka and the kofte kebabs which were so tasty; the food was all really delicious.  We were very honoured to meet Amir, the chef, who told us of his home country of Iran, his journey to becoming a chef and his vision.  We would highly recommend eating here.  You won't be disappointed!!

We were travelling to Hawes and wanted to have a meal and book a table. Phoned number provided, said it was unavailable. Phoned a mobile number twice leaving messages, didn't get back to us Went on their Facebook site and left a pm, again, didn't get back to us. Popped in on the off-chance of having a meal on a market day night, to be told it's the chef's night off, no food. In this day and age, they need to get their act together. PATHETIC

Always loved the Crown in Hawes, beautiful pub with amazing food, but I've just been again with different management and they've completely upped the standard. The food was incredible, Amir the chef is brilliant, I recommend the beef stifado. The owners Toni and Rob are so friendly and welcoming, we did not want to go home. Will definitely be going back.

What a beautiful meal compliments to the chef the food was amazing

Well what can I say absolutely spot on food was amazing all the staff had time to make you feel welcome highly recommend this place

Lovely pub in a beautiful area of Yorkshire

Lovely pub right in the centre of Hawes market place, went in for a drink and was intrigued by the menu, Greek/Turkish in the middle of the Yorkshire Dales? Had to give it a try! My wife had the Beef Stifado and I had the Beef Guvec, both were absolutely superb and being a bit of a chilli head my Guvec was nice and spicy, the large chunks of beef in both meals were so tender they could have been eaten with a spoon! We were so impressed that we booked for Sunday lunch the next day, big mistake, it was possibly the worst pub Sunday lunch we’ve ever had. We both chose roast pork, when the meal was served there was no crackling and the pork was lukewarm, no roast potatoes just large boiled ones with undercooked parsnips and grey broccoli with carrots and Yorkshire pudding all covered in an unpleasant herby gravy. It’s a real shame as the beer and wine were excellent and the Greek/Turkish menu was wonderful. Overall I think four stars is on the generous side but swayed by the first meal and good, friendly service.

Delicious food, good wine and nice vegetarian options. Really enjoyed the chips especially and the staff were very welcoming and accommodating of a big group

Came here for food after the 3 peaks, great food and very welcoming owners, would recommend!! Cosy, dog friendly pub!!!!

Pleasant evening and great meal. The menu included some Greek dishe and we had the Stifado and the Briam. They were excellent. Staff friendly and welcoming too!

Booked last minute with a party of 10. Staff were brilliant and very accommodating. Good service all round from behind the bar to the food, which was excellent and the chef came out to make sure we were ok(great touch). Would highly recommend to anyone

Great food nice staff attentive chef

A fantastic friendly atmosphere with very helpful staff, and the food was exceptional. Thanks for a great experience, we'll be back often and would properly recommend this place and town for a visit by anyone. Thank you.

Great beer. Really nice team, visited a couple times for a beer, really good real ales, & also for food. Impresed by the food assume greek chef?

Visited for a meal. Had the steak pie. Proper neatly pie. Delicious. Husband had fillet. Again fab. Would defo recommend.

Came for a meal and to be fair it wasn’t to bad but when we went to pay the miserable women behind the bar told us how much and proceeded to walk away after she said tap your card on that, it wasn’t till we got home we added up what we had and what we paid so either the pint my husband had and my coke cost nearly £20 there’s something dramatically wrong there. They didn’t give us a bill to look at she just told us the amount and walked off. We aren’t local and came for a run out after arranging my husband mum funeral that morning.

Had a beautiful Sunday dinner and some lovely beer. Friendly staff.

Great staff, very obliging landlord, let us eat our sausage roll , we didn't have time to order food or we would have missed coach home, next time .

We enjoyed an evening meal and a drink at the Crown on our last day in Hawes. The moussaka was very tasty and made from local lamb...Black Sheep bitter too...

We had the Briam (vegetarian and gluten free) which was absolutely delicious, a very authentic Greek dish, rich, tasty and beautifully cooked. We also had the Greek salad starter as a side dish - we could have been in Greece, it was complete with olives, feta and a wonder combination of herbs. I believe the chef is from Greece.

My husband and I were staying nearby and stopped for dinner at The Crown. We were very impressed with the menu as it offered a variation from the usual pub menu. My husband had the Beef Stifado and I had the Briam which both were delicious. The hospitality from both the publican, staff and chef made it a memorable experience.

Sep 2024 made a few visits here as food so delicious n presentation. Good to get fish dishes in Dales. Great new chef Amir 😃😃😃 waiting staff though very young always smiling n welcoming

We were staying nearby and visited The Crown for lunch. A lovely varied menu with a surprisingly Greek/ Middle eastern flavour, although other pub classics were available! The briam was delicious. This meant there were very good options for vegetarians and vegans. Staff behind the bar were chatty and helpful and our big Golden Retriever was welcomed too. Good selection of beers available (local and otherwise). Would recommend.

Called in for lunch over the Bank Holiday, and tge menu was a bit limited, especially as I am on slimming world. Asked if they could possibly do a chicken salad which they gladly obliged even though they were busy. Thanks guys it was lovely and you went above and beyond. Hubby's blt was lovely too as was the coffee

Visited the Crown Hawes at lunch time for a bite to eat and to rest after walking about the town. Just visit the bar to order food and drinks at your table. The staff were friendly and rather funny! Perfect place for something to eat. I personally had the BLT which was great, bacon was tough but overall enjoyable. My partner had fish and chips which he devoured within minutes so assuming it was great too! Not far to walk from the car park if you stop by for dinner. As well as the nearby shops to visit. Warning. It can be rather busy in the area. Overall, I recommend stopping by!

We nipped in for a bite to eat as we were passing by. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The food was hot, fresh and tasty and was served relatively quickly. The pub had a nice atmosphere and was clean. Unfortunately, the gent’s toilet was not so well maintained, the door lock was completely broken and so was the hot tap. But other than that - a very nice place. There’s outdoor seating with a beer garden and a pool table can be found inside. I would certainly recommend a visit to The Crown

Staff very friendly, food excellent and the Theakstons beer is spot on, have to go a long way to find a better pub/hotel

After the hike, the beer was so nice! :)

Nice pub in the centre of Hawes. Decent food and very, very friendly service. Dog friendly. There's a pool table and a decent menu to choose from and the lrices are not ridiculous. Some nice real ales too. Overall a really good choice.

Stopped at The Crown for Sunday dinner today after a trip the cheese factory in Hawes. I can honestly say it was the best roast beef dinner I’ve had In years!! Great service and reasonably priced. Very highly recommended!!

Really lovely afternoon on a wet day in Hawes. Family with kids staying at Bainbridge ings. Adult and kids were made very welcome

Visited today after a long good walk, with our 2 dogs.. we was first in the pub so ordered our drinks and food, just after 12 noon.. the pub started to fill up quickly... we waited and waited. Other tables where getting their food, which was ordered after ours. After an hour and 15 mins... we asked where our meal was, but by this time the dogs where getting fed up.... no one seemed to know? So we just paid for our drinks and left, hungry and miffed off. Sort your staff out.....

Lovely traditional British Pub, just what you want after a hike around the surrounding area. Good selection of beers and wines to choose from. The kitchen was being refurbished when I was in, so I can't comment on the food. But it's definitely worth a visit if you get the chance.

Brilliant gem of everything a local pub should be: excellent range on tap, top service, friendly staff. Toni and Rob are superb hosts, warm and welcoming. Sarah behind the bar goes the extra mile. We will definitely be back to The Crown!

Immediately felt welcomed with huge smiles from the staff and plenty of choice for drinks after a long walk. Sarah behind the bar recommended the specials on tap and was amazingly helpful. Kudos to Toni and Rob who make this pub a real gem. Looking forward to seeing you again the next time we’re in the area. Thanks Toni!

Service was amazing. We thoughly enjoyed our experience.It was brilliant. Staff very welcoming the landlord Rob was exceptional and Could not do anymore to make us feel welcome

Really cheap, and really pleasant rooms. The staff were very helpful and the breakfast was nice.

Lovely pub with friendly staff and a good selection of ales.

Lovely pub, very welcoming. Dog friendly. Clean and well decorated. Great decor. Very friendly staff and fairly priced

UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT Wow, what a welcome! Staff were very attentive. Prices are fab. Atmosphere was very welcoming. Nice to see this pub back in business.

Went in for a drink, but it was evident that because we were not dining, the landlord gave the impression that we had just been scraped of his shoe, bland and over priced, few other pubs in village far better.

Closed down. Looks a right eyesore

Good coffee. Interesting choice of early evening music!

Food was OK,, the pub lacked any atmosphere . They had no orange juice, or decaf coffee. This was an old haunt of ours some years ago, and we used to loved it. Quite disappointing 😞

Great food and ales in a cosy pub

Went here for Sunday lunch, all six enjoyed one of the best lunches we have ever had . Everything was fresh and tasty.

Staff excellent. Nothing too much trouble & the way my wife was looked after for her birthday was above & beyond. Please go see. Great staff. Great beer & great food. Can't comment on the rooms as we haven't stayed. We will be calling again next time we visit Hawes.

Didn't stay or eat here. Just had a few beers. Staff welcoming and chatty.

Standard pub serving a couple of theakstone ales and food!

Nice real Ales, staff very friendly

Great! 🥳 delicious food, nice atmosphere and the staff were lovely ☺️ we were made to feel really welcome from the start- we especially loved learning about local beers! 🍺 Thank you, we’ll be back!

Good beer, moderate wine, pricey

Awesome pub. Saturday night live music. Sunday roast dinner. Nice drinks. Staff were really friendly. Would visit again when back in the area.

Always fantastic in here great food, beer 🍻 & staff. Love Hawes & this pub. 🙂

Friday night is karaoke night! Great atmosphere.

They have Old Peculiar on tap and a great Yorkshire pudding! Highly recommend stopping by after a hike through the dales. The front patio is the most obvious seating choice but there is a beer garden out back that is away from the noise and bustle of the main road.

Visited for Sunday Roast. Unfortunately was near end of service and chicken and beef had sold out, however everyone enjoyed the pork. Generous portions and nice traditional pub atmosphere. Only slight negative is food was over salty.

We live nearby and always come to The Crown as our local over the other Hawes pubs. Tonight we took some burgers home to eat and not only was it quicker and so yummy than other takeaways locally but the OP was particularly delicious. Thanks guys, see you again soon!

Lovely pub with tables out front that really capture the sunshine. Friendly staff and a good selection of local ales. Worth the visit.

Really impressed. Friendly, welcoming staff in a cosy, rustic dining area. Good selection of wines and soft drinks. Food was delicious. We went for dinner and got a table, no problem. We had yummy fish and chips and a particularly tasty chicken ceasar salad. Will definitely return if we're visiting here this part of Yorkshire again.

Arrived at the Crown with my friends l was busy looking at the specials board when the landlord approached me with a rather loud tone and said we have finished serving food, l replied we are not here for food. This was at 13.40 l was fine with this until another custocame in at 14.00 and ordered soup and sandwiches at the bar.

Had 2 meals there this weekend as on holiday and they didn’t disappoint very quick service and staff very friendly , Sunday lunch exceptional very dog friendly ,we’ll definitely be back

Just a quick pint but a good pint.

A lovely old stone-built inn located in the busy marketplace. I stopped off here for lunch on my way to the Wensleydale Creamery. There are outside tables in front of the pub and a beer garden at the back, but I ate my meal in the cosy and rustic bar lounge with its traditional wooden furniture, and historic quotations and old photographs on the walls. The bar staff were hospitable and friendly, and although the restaurant area was busy, I did not have to wait long to be served. Good choice of Yorkshire ales, and they also do cocktails. There was a nice selection of homemade pub meals on the lunch menu including burgers, sandwiches, wraps and a couple of mains. Opted for the chicken fajita with peppers, onions and a spicy sauce, served with tasty dressed salad, tortilla chips, sour cream and guacamole. Very flavoursome indeed, and the portions were generous. The blackberry and lemonade made a refreshing accompaniment to the spicy food. Overall a really enjoyable meal and not expensive either. Would recommend.

Called in for food, very basic and well over priced, don’t mind paying too money if the food is nice,

Nice pub food was good and reasonable prices highly recommended

Only visited here for evening meal. Great food.

Didn't stay or eat just for drinks. All 👍
