The Crown Inn in South Holland

Nice and relaxed pub, the staff were very welcoming

So pleased we used this pub for after my mums funeral. Such kind staff. Lovely food and the most cosy atmosphere for family and friends to be together. Thankyou for your lovely service

I went here for my Christmas meal and it was amazing the service was great had no problems with the staff that work there

Fabulous meal best Sunday lunch in a very long time, have booked to go again even if it's 45 minutes away

We held a wake there after my Mum's cremation. Food great room lovely and quiet with amazing open fires.Really good value and nothing was to much trouble.Cannot recommend high enough

Great place for a seated family event of 39 plus. Hot foods and quick service

Visited for my mother's wake lovely warming open fires and terrific staff made for a great send off

Very warm. Very cosy. Decor was lovely and staff were really friendly too. Will visit again

Lovely neat tidy homely pub real fire added to the ambience

We stumbled across The Crown Inn purely by chance,we checked if we we could be accommodated for as we hadn’t booked ,we were made most welcome,we ordered drinks and sat in the lounge area nearby the real fire, we were shortly asked which meats we would like for our Sunday roast and shown to our table,our meals followed quickly,firstly served with our meat,roast potatoes and stuffing,which was followed by the best selection of vegetables we could have asked for, we have never had so many to choose from,Everything was homemade and the gravy was to die for,during the meal we were checking upon by the friendly staff, we opted for desserts,all of which were homemade.Everyone thoroughly enjoyed both courses and we were made to feel most welcome,I can highly recommend that you try the wonderful homemade food served here with friendly staff .

Zara and Julie really looked after us when we were there for a funeral tea. The food was all home made and so fresh. Both ladies were so helpful I would recommend the Crown Inn to anyone looking for a traditional country pub. Thank you ladies.

Our Sunday lunch was absolutely perfect, fresh vegetables of pretty much every variety you can think of, amazing amounts of beautifully cooked meats, service was great - highly recommended. The pub is charming as are the staff and owners. Try it - you won’t be disappointed!!

Visited today after seeing a post on FB that they had started their Sunday lunch. When we arrived the outside looked lovely with the hanging baskets. Upon arrival we walked in to the bar we was met with a nice friendly welcome. We got our drinks and sat in the lounge area by a very welcoming fire and beautiful comfy sofas. The waitress came over to take our order we all ordered lamb after the lady told us what meat was on. After about 15 mins we was taken to our table. The restaurant was spotless and it was very nice to see linen on the tables. The food arrived within 10 mins. Plates was nice and warm. The food was amazing plenty of meat with Yorkshire, stuffing, parsnip and roasts. Then in a terrine came what could only be the most choice of veg I have ever seen I counted 9 altogether and cooked to perfection and very tasty and fresh. Everyone had plenty. We asked for extra gravy which was brought to us straight away. Witching 5 mins we had had a check back to make sure we was ok. The food itself was very tasty the meat was perfectly cooked and everything was homemade. Once we had finished we then went back to sit in the lounge. We would have stayed longer as we felt very comfortable but had to get home. I would say that I was slightly confused as we was not given a menu to choose our starters (perhaps as they move forward this will come as it was the first time) they was having problems with the card machine (not their fault) so could only except cash it would’ve been better if they told us this at the beginning but it really wasn’t a problem for us. I would highly recommend The Crown food amazing staff great we will certainly be coming back. Well done to all

Called in not knowing the pub friendly staff, atmosphere strange as a wake arrived just after us. No food eaten, would try it again.

I visited the crown today to remember a dear friend. The landlady is superb, very welcoming & the pub is decorated really tastefully. Thoroughly recommend

Best place I've eaten, Food is as close too home cooked food feel as you can get with out being at home. Beer is Awesome, thank you bar man for getting me on the Sharps Sea Fury. Top service Top atmosphere 10/10 reccomed

We were at a wake, first time in the crown, quite a big place lots of comfy sofas, buffet was very good and staff very friendly.

Having arrived from the crematorium to have a wake in this place, it was gratifying with friendly attentive bar staff, a colourful, relaxing interior comfortable, well laid out furniture inside and outside to sit great atmosphere.

Steak wasn’t fresh, frozen, unseasoned. Bar service was 10 minutes. DEAD SPIDER IN CHIPS, no discount and didn’t batter an eyelid.

Excellent Sunday roast and very friendly and attentive staff

Fantastic pub with a distinctive character.

Wonderful Sunday lunch today. Great choice of meats and vegetables. Vegans well accommodated as well. Absolutely stuffed. Well done to the Crown - spot on. Well recommended.

Had a wake there and everything was lovely from the first phone call to the event it's self Zara was a lovely helpful owner thankyou so much

Had a most enjoyable evening with twenty friends. A warm welcome, friendly staff and excellent home cooked meals. A firm favourite whether for just coffee and light refreshments or a full course meal.

We came here today and we were so well looked after the staff were very friendly

We love 🤩🤩 found by accident 10+ years ago, been back ever since. The best xx

What a fabulous warm, friendly pub. The Sunday lunch was all homecooked, plenty of it and lots of choice of meat and vegetables. We will certainly go again.

Amaizing Sunday Lunch. Loverly atmosphere with log fire burning.

Wonderful ambiance, open fire, cosy feel. Friendly staff. comfortable sofas. The Christmas decorations were lovely.

Warm and friendly pub with a lovely atmosphere

Very cosy, beautifully decorated pub with cosy open fire. Very friendly staff, would definitely recommend and we will be going back soon!

Popped in here on the off chance for Sunday lunch, they could fit us in if we didn't mind a short wait. We ordered a couple of drinks and sat in the very welcoming lounge area beside a lovely real fire. The pub is beautifully decorated for Christmas and is very pleasant. After a short wait our order was taken and then a little while later we were shown to our table in the restaurant area. I ordered lamb and my husband had the chicken. When the plates arrived laden with meat and potatoes, we were pleasantly surprised at the size of the portions, then more dishes arrived with an enormous selection of vegetables, mashed potatoes and gravy. All delicious and beautifully cooked. We both opted for trifle for dessert which was also delicious. The total cost including drinks was about £60 which we felt was good value for the amount of food served. Considering we have never been here before we were very pleased we had decided to chance it and will definitely be returning.

From the warm welcome to the gorgeous decor, this modest- looking pub hides an absolutely superb interior, real fire, comfortable seating- and then you get the FOOD - our Sunday lunch was amazing! With a choice of 4 meats, I lost count of how many veggies we were served, all with smiles. Everything was perfect, I expect this venue will be so popular they’ll be turning people away - so I recommend booking early! 10 out of 10 from our table of 4.

The Sunday lunch was a masterpiece. If you are hungry do not miss this. Fourteen different vegetables and a mountain of meat. The pub is very comfortable with nice sofas.

Went here today with parents who hadn’t visited it in 18 years. What a surprise when walking into this most warm inviting welcoming Inn. Greeted by a lovely gentleman taking our drinks order then asking us to take a seat in cozy sofas until coming to take our lunch order. Food is amazing. Sunday lunch choice Beef, lamb, chicken or pork. Wow amazing and an array of vegetables served with the lunch. The young female waitress was nothing but swift and served our dinner with a lovely smile. The Christmas decorations were beautiful. A most warmly Inn definitely be returning when visiting parents again.

First time under current ownership and am pleased to say we have another fine dining pub in Surfleet just outside Spalding. The little snug area is delightful, comfortable settees and felt very cosy indeed. We were seen to our table in the dining room by very pleasant staff after placing the food order, once seated we were served with freshly cooked food of a good quality, lots of veggies etc and all 8 of us all had clean plates, we were then offered puddings and yet again all clean plates back to the kitchen, would we go back again? In a flash, oh and very reasonably priced to ! Well done the crown, but don’t forget ‘book first’ Ken Challans

Had a really fabulous Sunday lunch at the Crown in Surfleet. The warm and friendly ambience, accompanied by attentive and helpful staff, made a superb event for ourselves and mum. The lovely holly and stylish seating area, the dining area with a baby grand piano, the generous portions and superbly cooked food made the the day an event. Mum really felt special. Thank you so much and will be back soon.

Best sunday dinners ever and the desserts are to die for,and the people who are there are very friendly and welcoming well worth a visit

An amazing place with very friendly staff also very clean 👌 👍 👏

Excellent service by host. Despite the occasion everyone was made most welcome. Good food and pleasant atmosphere. Car parking is limited but locally available

Nice pub,very friendly and a good atmosphere. I will pop in again.

Good food. Small venue but good food

I came to Surfleet early for a funeral and noticed the doors were open on a sad but beautiful day. I was greeting with a beaming smile from a lovely woman by the name of Zara. She welcomed me in with the warmth of member of the family. As the heat was warming me to a slight sweat, I was cooled by the calming voice and bright smile "What can I get for you today my love" It was as comforting as being tucked into bed when I was young, full of cold, by my mum. To say this is an overstatement is unkind. For I was not feeling very conversational nor wanting to be embraced by anyone. But it was impossible not to be swept up in a sense of feeling like a regular in a place I've never been to before. An open fire place, though too hot to be lit up, a dining area and comfortable seating. An outside seating area for a day like today was perfect. The decor had me reminiscing of a pub I've been to before, but I've never stepped foot in there. They have a collection of Largers, ciders, Guinness, ales and spirits. The menu looked amazing, I wish I had time to try it out but I was a busy bee today. So I will be back, with my children or maybe to take a date where they'd feel as comfortable as I did on what is sure to be a very sad and emotional day.

Good food, nice comfortable surroundings, very pleasant host, good home cooking

Disappointed with our visit. Service was slow from start to finish even though pub was quiet. No prices on the menu board so we had no idea what we would be paying. Veg with the the roast was undercooked and all hard. No receipt given on payment of bill.

Great service from young lady behind the bar .Was helping the waitress as she got the person meat wrong before us .it can happen.Wasn’t many people in .very friendly ..Happy with drinks little pricey.But didn’t mind lovely decor and warm cosy atmosphere.young lady ask what meat we wanted .Then took us to our table .food came out straight away .unfortunately it had a funny taste and the mash potatoes was slop.i was surprised that they said they did 16 veg .but honestly it wasn’t enough of each veg for two .2 or 3 veg would have been better .Sorry didn’t enjoy the meal for £15.95 each .deffo something wrong with the taste .went to pay and the gentleman nails were dirty .like he work in a garage ..so won’t be returning..But the you bar lady was very good at her job ..thank you for the opportunity to visit

Wonderful. Staff do friendly and helpful. Buffet lovely.

Absolutely lovely Sunday dinner 🍽 all fresh home made highly recommended 👍😋🤗

What a lovely place so cosy friendly staff highly recommended

Brilliant super store, more of everything great about Sainsbury's and now I can charge my car there while I shop. I feel like I am receiving some payback for all the years shopping at this amazing Supermarket. Well done Sainsbury's...

We used the Crown in January after a service at the nearby Crematorium. I had previously spoken with the landlady re numbers but on the day there were twice the amount we were expecting but this did not present any problem to the landlady and she provided more than sufficient food for all who turned up. It was a wonderful atmosphere despite the occasion and many thanks to all the team at the Crown for looking after us.

Zara and her team laid on a wonderful spread today as a farewell to my father. Making a very difficult day warm friendly and welcoming to all that attended.

Lovely old traditional pub well presented. The food was good and the waitresses was lovely. The landlord was a genuinely nice guy. Unfortunately the landlady was very rude, abrupt, lacking manners, discretion, and general moral standards you would expect from a business person. Shame.

We have had many Christmas work dinners over the years and tried almost every restaurant in Spalding but this year I thought to try my local – the Crown Inn. We had a group of 19 of us in total and I can tell you we were served a real homemade Christmas dinner with all the trimmings, including fantastic starters and desserts. This is the best Xmas meal we’ve ever had in last 35 years, after going around everywhere else for our work dinners. We will undoubtedly be booking our 2020 Christmas meal here next year.Five Star Service. Thank you Zara and staff!Merry Christmas & a very Happy New year, from all of us at Moto-Bins, Surfleet.

This was a group meal at a restuarant I have never been to in my life. (and thats a lot of life believe me!) With this landlady/chef my loss.Excellent ambience with leather/vinyl (I am no expert!) couches and an open fire throwing heat all over.Best spicy parsnip soup ever as a starter.Norfolk turkey as a main which was rather thin, difficult to taste but the veg etc took over, superb.Christmas pudding to finish.Great waitresses.This was a wonderful meal, thank you Team Crown.

A large group of us went for our work's Christmas meal Saturday night. The place looked amazing & Christmassy, two real fires glowing & many Christmas trees.The food & service was top class, we all really enjoyed it & the friendly staff topped off a great night.Well done!

Cosy setting and proper tablecloths in the dining room. Wonderful Sunday lunch with very tender meat, all the trimmings and the best variety of Lincolnshire veg we have ever been served. Quite delightful!

Came for dinner with a colleague whilst in the area for business. The Crown inn was beautifully decorated for Christmas and had a warm and cozy atmosphere. The ladies behind the bar made us feel so welcome. Delighted to find not only was the Inn decorated for Christmas but we could also have Turkey for dinner. It was amazing, very generous portion of meat, fantastic selection of veg, and a huge boat of gravy. Suffice to say at the end of the meal we felt as stuffed as the turkey.Give this place a go if you are in the area. It is first class.

‘No problem’. It was just after 2 on a wet horrible Sunday afternoon, we had stopped at the Crown in the vague hope of having lunch. Mine host leaned over the bar and simply said ‘no problem’.We ordered drinks and went over to the open, roaring fire and sat on a settee chatting whilst we waited. Our host arrived to sit with us after a few minutes and simply asked ‘Beef, Pork or Chicken’ and then asked if we were minded to wait about 15 minutes before the food was ready. It was my turned to say ‘no problem’; we had survived thus far without food another 15 minutes without would not result in death by starvation. We sat back and relaxed, the fire burnt, the lights twinkled off the decorations, we sipped and chatted, the world was good and outside the rain fell and it was bad.A delightful young lady appeared and asked if she could show us to our table, beautifully laid with white linen over blue and set with silverware. A few minutes later she reappeared with food, in fact lots of food, indeed in such quantities that proved a match for we two, hungry travellers. Good and wholesome, hot and tasty, the clichés rolled off our tongues not unlike a football leaving Alexander-Arnolds foot, smooth and sweet (a football similarly for those non followers).We didn’t need little wire baskets, or separate dishes for the typical do-it-yourself type meal that current gastro pubs seem to deem essential, we ate off plates, warm plates with hot food on them served with a smile and at a well laid table. It’s the basic things done well that define, and this pub did everything well.The atmosphere is relaxed, the warmth from staff, host and fire, and at a price which wont cripple.We will most certainly be visiting again

Just passing stopped for a roast Wow amazing food gravy 2nd to none And 10 different vegetables served all fresh Meat all good Friendly place will definitely be going back loved it but was to full to try what looked an amazing selection of deserts

Popped in to The Crown last Sunday hoping we could get lunch as we hadn’t booked. First time we have been and our lunch was absolutely lovely. We have never had such a selection of vegetables anywhere before. The only downside was that we all ate so much that we couldn’t manage a dessert. We will definitely go back again and have already recommended it to friends.

We had a fantastic Sunday lunch at this local pub. The food was brilliant with a huge selection of veg brought to the table. Very friendly staff and great deserts all at a reasonable price. Fully recommend.

Cannot give enough praise for the food , service amd friendliness of the staff !! The food was fantastic ! Huge portions ! The Eton Mess was amazing x brilliant x gorgeous ! The best food i have eaten out in a while !! Dont come here if u want yr food in 5 mins x a lovely evening with my son and daughter in law

I booked for lunch at the crown, really excellent and would recommend to everyone. It really was a proper home cooked lunch with lovely fresh veg. My kind of Sunday lunch with gorgeous desserts!

We came over from Grantham for Sunday lunch at the Crown Inn as it was recently recommended and we were not disappointed. On arrival it was extremely busy.The pub was clean,warm and welcoming and all the staff were polite and friendly with beautiful decor and character, I could of sat in there all day. Although we were sat next to a large party the service was quick and efficient bringing us 17 vegetables and excellent choice of meats, salmon,lamb,beef,pork and chicken with also vegan and vegetarian options. Can't wait to return for a family book in next month!!! Amazing! This really is a jewel of a crown!!! X

Called on the chance of getting table for lunch , the meals came out quickly with lots of veg on all plates, will call again , Bril value for money

Booked months in advance. Only 1 person on bar for a party of 26.

My dad sadly passed away and we had the funeral at the nearby crematorium. These guys held the wake for us at a very affordable price.

It’s like stepping back in time going into this pub, lots of settees in an olde worlde setting. The dinning room is just off the bar with a variety of tables, all nicely set.Sunday lunch there is a choice of beef, lamb or pork.All come with a great variety of vegetables (we counted 12 different ones) .The meat is served with a giant Yorkshire puddings and lots of spare gravy..Service is great and both the landlady and the waitresses very friendly.

On Saturday afternoon we waited with another couple at the bar area for twenty minutes to be served a gin & tonic. I had my tiny papillon dog tucked under my arm & we chatted amiably for this time as the staff rushed by with platefuls of roast dinners for the dining room as the staff apologised & said they would be with us soon. At last a member of staff served up two gin & tonics, just as we were about to pay a woman came steaming out of the kitchen, glaring at the little dog under my arm & told us that we couldn't have a drink there as;'people is eating' !!! The bar area is well away from the dining room & the other bar staff were happy for us to be there, so we were nonplussed. We made a hasty retreat to the Ship Inn at Pinchbeck where we received two g&ts; a lovely warm welcome, a logburner & improved decor.

Fabulous meal and well cooked with as many veg as you can eat, meat very tasty also yourkshire puss put my own to shame. . Everyone was so friendly and welcoming.

Girls night out fabulous pub with the loveliest staff and the log fire is fantastic I might never leave x

Lived in Spalding for 20 years 1st visit after recommendations. Certainly been missing out on one of the best value for money restaurants. Warm and friendly welcome which carried on with all the staff. Restaurant nice and bright layed with table clothes. Huge portions of food which was well cooked. There was a choice of 10 different vegetables put on the table along with a gravy boat. We shall certainly be back

A group of us (6) visited for a freinds anniversery, on walking through the front door it was like stepping into a very nice lounge / living room with lots of very comfortable settees and chairs (the sort you could curl up in and fall asleep) with lots of Xmas decorations all tastefully done.

This was my second time here and food was great. I had steak pie with plenty of veggies great choice too my friend had belly pork soft full of flavour and his wife had lasagne salad plenty of food to go around especially mash and roast spuds great big boat of thick juicy gravy. Then came pudding Apple crumble lots of custard piping hot and a beautiful cheesecake all home cooked main and pud for £8 this place is a little gem a must for the quality and price

well 2nd time hear a great very clean place fair size carpark plenty room round tables very nice good staff food well set out on plate nice place to take family friends (ect) staff very good we found we will be back

Warm,welcoming establishment,with superb food and very generous portions.This was our first visit and before leaving we made sure we had booked for the following sunday.Faultless service.

Went to the crown for Sunday lunch my mother. Although we did not book they managed to find a table for us 30 minutes after arriving. Really spacious and comfortable sofas and armchairs to sit on while we waited. It felt like a lounge rather than a bar and relaxing. The lunch was really good with tender roast beef and eight different vegetables in addition to roast potatoes and new potatoes _ the plate was huge. Good selection of desserts with a choice of 3 different cheesecakes and 3 different hot sponge puddings with additional rice pudding, waffles, gateau and ice cream. Will definitely return again when visiting Spalding.

Sunday carvery for 4 adults 2 childeen.Very friendly staff.Amazing food.Big portions Great value.10/10.

just had lovely roast sunday dinner in here. four adults all had a mixture of meat choices on offer.

Came here for a dinner and catch up with my mum. Really lovely staff who will go out of their way to serve you. We had a delicious main- the homemade chips and new potatoes were heavenly. Dessert was then equally gorgeous.

This is a bit quirky, very welcoming and the staff are great. The food is very much traditional home cooked food, and it is very good indeed. They offered no starters, so it’s straight into the mains, three of us enjoyed steaks, which were excellent, with plenty of veg, salad, mushrooms, gluten free onion rings. For dessert I went for rice pudding, very unusual to be offered this in a restaurant. It took straight back to my childhood. If you like traditional English food in a homely environment, you will love this place.

I went to the Crown for the second time with the fam8ly for a Sunday roast. As usual the service was excellent and friendly. The Sunday roast dinner was excellent, especially the gravy! Highly recommended 😜

The best Sunday roast in this area, 12+ different vegetables, roast and new potatoes, homemade Yorkshire puddings, plate covered with your choice of meat and extra gravy, served hot, by friendly staff. Excellent.

Had a brilliant Sunday Roast this weekend just gone. The host was lovely, welcoming and chatty. Her staff were polite and helpful. The roast was fantastic - great value and very generous portions. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great Sunday lunch in the area.

The missus and I fancied a venture out of nearby Peterborough for the afternoon. We happened to find a small village called surfleet, never even heard of it! But we found a cosy pub with very welcoming staff. The food was delicious and thankfully no lumps in the gravy (always a winner) will be returning again!!

lovely service and a pleasant environment, thoroughly recommend 😊 nice place dotted right next to a river!

good service start to finish, AMAZING Sunday roast and deserts. Friendly and smiley staff made us feel very welcome

Superb Sunday lunch. Meat plentiful and tasty, so many vegetables there was something for everyone's taste. Attentive staff and dairy free options available.

I have never seen such a good selection of vegetables to go with the roast. I don't now how some managed a dessert after that!!!!

Had a lovely meal with family last Sunday couldn’t fault it.such a warm and welcoming place to eat out staff and landlady were excellent.would highly recommend😀

Such a good Sunday roast this weekend, meat was lovely, vegetables plentiful and the staff were so attentive. The best roast I've had for a long time and all my family would agree. 5* definitely will return, thanks

Food was great had over 12 different vegetables on the roast dinner. Staff were very welcoming/friendly and helpful. Definitely would go again.

Called into this pub about 1pm as we were attending a funeral in the area . Asked if they provided snacks as we had been travelling since 8am in the morning . We were told they usually only provide two course lunch . The lovely lady the went and asked the kitchen if they didn't mind providing us with sandwich and a bowl of chips . The sandwiches were cheese and onion and ham and tomato in the freshes bread I have ever had . The sandwiches were delicious with chunks of home baked ham . Hot pots of tea and coffee and chunky home made chips . We are so grateful to these people in the charming comfortable pub . Thank you for giving us a smile on what was a very sad occasion .

What a gem of a Place! So honest and welcoming. I had lamb hot pot and 8 veg, new and roast pots on side. Fantastic quality.

Our first visit to The Crown .We booked to go to the Titanic murder mystery and two course meal .We had the most enjoyable evening .The food was excellent choice of vegetables amazing very well presented and very tasty .Staff very welcoming and helpful .Show was most enjoyable nice to go to something a bit different .Well done to the landlady and her staff .Will definatly be visiting again soon .

Great welcome from the moment we arrived today - and my husband was very impressed with the special vegetarian prepared for him. The food was beautifully cooked and as for the vegetables. I've never been presented with such a varied, plentiful selection ever. Thank you for a great experience, we will definitely return.

Thank you so much for providing us with the perfect evening for our birthday celebration. The food was fresh and beautifully cooked. The Crown is such a charming place, full of character and very welcoming. Highly recommended.

We came here for the excellent S.A.D.O.S. "murder, mystery evening" and enjoyed things so much we returned for an excellent Sunday lunch a few weeks later.

The title says it all, from the moment you walk through the door it has a lovely atmosphere with a very warm welcome. The food was delicious and good value will be back for more.
