The Crown Inn in Stroud

We were passing through Minchinhampton on our way to Cornwall so decided to have a meal a the Crown. It was a pleasant evening so we chose to sit in the lovely garden area on one of the comfy rattan seats having a drink. Suddenly I felt quite uncomfortable. I stood up to find that my trousers (& underwear) were wet. The reason was that the cushion I was sat on was wet. Being foam it had presumably been left out in the rain of previous days so although looked ok it was soaking wet. How absolutely annoying. Why on earth would you leave foam cushions outside at the mercy of the elements. For goodness sake, take them in at the end of the evening & bring them out in the morning when the weather allows. it's not rocket science ! Needless to say we did not stay for a meal !!

Everything at The Crown is always brilliant. Really delicious food and fabulous staff. Thanks to Jaden and everyone else there for always making it a pleasure to spend time at The Crown. It's great for a meal or for just a drink. The staff always make an effort to make the visit special whatever you are there for.

We came for an extended family occasion. Lunch for about 20 people. Good menu with a wide range of dishes including a few for vegetarians Friendly and helpful service

Lovely vibe. Brilliant cocktails by a charismatic bartender. Cosy bar area, spacious garden with an gorgeous collection of plants

Delicious food served by very helpful friendly staff in a popular pub. There were several gluten free options which the helpful young woman serving us had highlighted on a menu for me, which I really appreciated. Great atmosphere & clearly popular on a Thursday evening.

Great Sunday Lunch, Roast Beef was really tasty and a good sized proportion, well balanced and not too much. It was busy today and we could hear Chef getting a bit shouty in the kitchen, but we were so well looked after by no less the 3 waitresses, that it didn't matter. They were attentive, polite, charming and above all smiling throughout. It makes a real difference when you are being served by people who look happy in their jobs. Thank you Mia, Izzy and Ana - you made our lunchtime.

Went to the pub quiz(great fun) and Saturday dinner. Food both times was fantastic, service was friendly and enthusiastic. Recommended

Brilliant food and fantastic service Excellent steak, burger and fish and chips Would thoroughly recommend Served by Izzy and Mia :)

Fabulous food and wine as always! We had a lovely time. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!! We will definitely be back!!

Inn for lunsj. Hyggelig men urutinert betjening - måtte spørre både etter servietter og bestikk. Ok forklaring på hvorfor maten føltes rå…

Fantastic choice of food - I had the fish and chips which came with lovely mushy peas and curry sauce. The burgers looked great. Our server Mia was really friendly and attentive!

Great food, atmosphere and staff, Mia was lovely as were all the staff. Great options for all the family and the food came quickly.

Food excellent standard.friendly professional service.knowledgeable happy staff. Our waitress was Mia, who was very attentive. We look forward to our next visit.

A great pub atmosphere with delicious food. Friendly staff - Coral was very attentive. A lovely place to spend an evening

Fantastic food .. great service.. good guidance on gluten free .. felt in safe hands ..Staff very welcoming .. thanks Mira .. Will be going again and would recommend …

Pints may be good however due to unforeseen circumstances the staff are very rude for multiple reasons first of all they were listening in to our conversation about how expensive the food was at 25 pounds for a shepherds pie which is ridiculous to which he butted in stating that “you choose to come to this pub don’t complain about the prices” which is very bad in my opinion from the staff. This is my first time at this pub and it’s safe to say Im not very pleased and won’t be returning anytime soon!

We headed out for dinner - A great venue, delicious food and friendly staff. We look forward to returning. The wood fire was a welcome addition too!

Very friendly staff, good food and a great atmosphere and I could take the dog. The Crown is a winner and I recommend it whole heartedly.

Looked after very well by Mia and the team. Great to have found Chef Luca again. Atmosphere was a couple of hours of fun and banter with friends and staff. Food and drinks very well priced. Service was great. Only negative from me was having to watch a couple a few tables away feed their two Labradors chips from the table. Yuk. Not the fault of the Crown though.

Had a really enjoyable flavoursome dinner, chicken melted in the mouth. Staff of Coral and Archie very attentive, pleasant and efficient. Will be back

Myself and some friends were certainly pleased with our visit. The food was excellent and brilliant service from the WONDERFUL Mia! Thank you for looking after us so well!

We arrived on a Thursday night at 6.30 for dinner and already it was very difficult to find any parking in Minchinhampton. We managed to get one of the two last places in the little town car park. I’d advise getting there as early as possible if you need to park near to the venue! The bar was full and already noisy when we arrived and as my elderly mother is hard of hearing we asked if we could have a table in the quietest part of the dining room. We were led through to the back of the Inn into the barn area and were shown to the first table in the entrance to the room. Unfortunately this was the nearest table to the kitchen and as the evening began the noise/ shouting from the kitchen staff and the noisy rap music being played in the kitchen become very irritating and it was difficult to hold a conversation with my hard of hearing mother at times. A quieter background music soundtrack in the restaurant would be more relaxing and appropriate for diners! It seems not very professional for the loud noise and music from the kitchen to be heard in the dining room. Next time we would ask to sit at the far end of the barn. The staff were all very young and possibly lack of experience meant that they didn’t understand our need to sit somewhere quiet to begin with? Another slightly irritating thing was the frequent opening of an outside door to the dining area in the barn letting in the cold and a draft on what was a cold evening as small groups of youths kept coming in and out throughout the evening walking through the guests in the dining room. Not sure if they were staff or customers but it would be better to keep this door closed, apart from maybe as an emergency exit. If they were staff then again it was not very professional to keep walking in and out past the diners. The food when it arrived however was excellent, very well presented, on hot plates and with very generous portions. The fennel sausages and mash were delicious and very well cooked and seasoned. The portion size was maybe too large and the mash portion could definitely have been reduced. I don’t like to waste food and so finished my portion but it was definitely a hearty man sized portion! This dish was the lowest calorie option main on the menu but it was still very heavy on the calories! I chose the panna cotta for dessert, again one of the lowest calorie options and although it was really delicious it was very dense and heavy and didn’t have the light set and ’wobble’ that you’d expect from a pana cotta. As a result it was again all extremely filling. It would be really good to offer a few lighter options on the dinner menu for those of us not able to cope with such man sized portions or for those needing to watch their weight, or with diabetes or high cholesterol as every main course was well upwards of 1200 calories, the desserts upwards of about 600 calories and most dishes were either high on fat, carbs or sugar. Maybe pan fried salmon or some fresh fish with new potatoes would be lovely. Maybe offer one lighter fresh fruit based dessert? For anyone with health issues or wanting to watch their weight it’s always welcome to find some healthier options on a menu. The quality of the food was certainly good enough for us to return, we’d just maybe not be so conscientious to clear our plates though!

Amazing food and lovely service from Coral. Happy staff and beautiful food too. Quick service. Will definitely be back soon!

We often visit the crown and we only ever have a positive experience. The food was perfect and our server Mia was very friendly and attentive, making our evening 10/10.

We had dinner with friends it was Such a lovely atmosphere, the food was also great, Mia really looked after us, nothing was to much trouble…. Thank you! See you again very soon

Just tried the Crown again and am happy to report it is good at last. A short but adequate menu, open 7 days, none of the past uncertainties about capacity or whatever. Staff charming food a bit fussy but actually good. It would be easy to criticize whitebait served looking like sardines with red (beetroot) hummus, very creamy coleslaw and some vegetable topping but apart from being unexpected it was fine. We need to return and try more of the menu with an open mind. Now if they could bring back the glorious Dunkerton Sunday feast....

Great Sunday Lunch in the front section with elderly parents who were well looked after. Really nice staff, great service.

Staying in the area for one night, wounded into the Crown Lovely pub , nice beer and great food , service excellent, wish it was my local .

We called in on the 15th April for a light lunch. It was absolutely great, we shared some whitebait, delicious, then had the warm smoked mackerel starter with a poached egg, we both thoroughly enjoyed it. The atmosphere of the pub was smashing, peaceful, very smart and the service was perfect. I can't recommend it highly enough

Lovely lovely pub.Always a warm welcoming atmosphere.Best pub roast chicken.Huge Yorkshire puds.Atrentive staff.Even the larger restaurant room at the back felt cosy.Perfect!

Lovely country pub with great service. Mia was the nicest server you could ask for and sunday roasts were great. Very nice atmosphere too.

We ate here after a walk with friends. The Crown is everything you want from a pub. Great smiley efficient service, great beer and great food. We loved it and will definitely return when in Minch!

Excellent food, well priced, quick service. Charming venue. Sunday menu offered a lot of choices for both adults and unusually for kids too. Very impressive - firmly recommended.

Consistently good food and atmosphere. The menu is pub favourites done well- pies, burgers, fish and chips etc. Some good vegetarian options also. A little pricey but not crazy and standard for the area. Good selection of beers and wines. Will visit again.

Brilliant Mother’s Day Sunday lunch with an added unexpected visitor. Staff were great with accommodating this, and the service was friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent as always, and we couldn’t have had a more enjoyable time. Definitely recommend The Crown for a fabulously professional experience. 👑

We love the homely but buzzy atmosphere at The Crown although one does need to accept the noise levels from families with children in this area. A starter of whitebait with a home made tartare sauce was really good. Mains of Chicken Kiev with Dauphinoise potato, artichoke puree, tenderstem broccoli was delicious and not over seasoned. My partner had sausages and mash with greens that was also good although the gravy was salty which is often the case at pubs. Staff are always friendly and helpful and there is a good selection of beers.

Just amazing! Fabulous staff, wonderful food, great service, great atmosphere. Just needed more Guiness in the pie as couldn’t taste it!

The food was good for a pub roast lunch, just to start with the positive. But we were in the 'barn' bit at the back, where the music was uncomfortably loud, our seats too low for the table, the table too close to the adjacent so waiting staff had to squeeze between us and the adjacent sideways, either crotch or bum to us at plate height. And then the manager (I assume) decided to go into a loft area for some reason mid lunch, which entailed putting a chair on the serving desk, asking a member of staff to hold it, climbing up, hoisting himself onto a beam, then into a hatchway. And then back down again some minutes later. Mid lunch. At least it was mildly entertaining and a snub to Heath & Safety.

We came for a birthday treat and were not disappointed. Food was excellent. We had whitebait to start which was cooked superbly without just relying on breadcrumbs and P had the bavette steak which he thoroughly enjoyed. I opted for 2 starters as a main, my typically preferred option and have no complaints. Plus service was friendly and first class.

The wine expert Jayden was very helpful on our wine choice and very knowledgeable - both our meals were excellent especially the chowder! Great evening music perfect wine will be back

Very good meal. Again. Most of us had the chowder, which was a wonderful creation. I had the burger, which was excellent, and they often aren't.

Why did we have to pay service charge for each individual person we all went together on one table but be ause we paid separately we paid seperate service charges. Don't think we roll be going back

Staff friendly and efficient as has been my previous experience of eating at the Crown. Prices are at a premium with a standard burger £18 (more than at somewhere like Brasserie Blanc) but the quality is excellent. They only thing I'd raise is how the...

Too noisy loud customers, bad service and did not have Guinness or food choice, left after 11/2 hours after not having our order taken. Too few staff.never to return!

It's a lovely pub and I use it frequently. The four stars are because the food is usually excellent, but this time the pork was undercooked, so slightly rubbery and the crackling was very chewy, rather than crisp. Apart from this, it was great and...

Charming countryside pub, with epic food and very cozy fire place. Soft furniture and relaxing atmosfer make this place fantastic and relaxed place to be. Food always epic and service great and friendly. Not to mention they sell dog chews and provide water bowls.

Meal was exceptional, really tasty and just enough. Staff very hospitable and friendly. Would have given 5 but we're put off by a dog constantly barking

Amazing service and friendly staff. Lots be the pub area. We arrived early and they managed to fit us in. Lovely Sunday roast with the world’s largest Yorkshire puds.

We were warmly welcomed and had great service all evening. It was a cold night and we were given a table by the fire, which was perfect. The food was delicious and I was able to ask for a different accompaniment to my pie as...

Lovely meal here, much improved since it’s been taken over. I know it’s by a chain but still feels like a local pub with friendly staff and well managed. Food good and decor much nicer than the dark blue/black everywhere. Very busy so book ahead.

From the minute we arrived I turned to my friends and said “this is going to be bad.” Despite booking we stood at the entrance for 5 10 minutes waiting to be acknowledged and eventually seated. We were approached fairly swiftly and ordered drinks and...

The online menu was nothing like what was on offer! This may have been because it was New Years Eve. If this was the case then they should however have highlighted this, had they shown the actual menu on offer we would not have bothered...

A casual evening out at a local eating establishment. Decided to go out with family. An evening meal, on a busy day, in a location with great ambiance, where the staff were attentive. The food was well cooked and presented. Local beer and wine accompanied...

Went for early dinner on Christmas Eve and was clear they were extremely short staffed as every surface was covered with dirty glasses and crockery. We asked to be moved into the restaurant area as there were some very loud (drunk) people in the bar....

Beautiful country pub with a charming restaurant. Great atmosphere, delicious food, excellent staff and the dogs enjoyed their Christmas joining us !

We had a lovely Christmas lunch with the best service, great atmosphere and loads of delicious food.

My family and I, there were nine of us, had the most wonderful Christmas Feast lunch here on Christmas Eve, it was my birthday. All the food that we were served were really of the highest quality and everything was so delicious and all the...

We booked for Christmas Day Lunch with friends The 3 course lunch was excellent as was the service. There was a good selection of wines to choose from and we particularly like the French Pinot Noir which went well with the Turkey. The only minor...

Excellent food and good service in a Great Pub. Local beers on tap. Two starter portions each was ample.

A lovely public house in a nice setting, right in the middle of the village. We were greeted with a warm smile and shown to our reserved seats, the bar area is warm and inviting,tastefully decorated and cosy. A great selection of real ales and...

We are a Gardening Club and 42 of us went to The Crown in Minchinhampton for our Christmas meal. We had a lovely meal and we’re very well looked by the friendly staff.

Just the best roast ever! Luka the chef delivers every time. We ate at 4:30 - when in many pubs the roasts are almost finished and little choice left- not here! Jaydon and all bar staff are welcoming and friendly to all. We were served...

lovely atmosphere, amazing food, and exactly what we wanted from a local country cosy pub. thank you

My wife and myself are currently holidaying in the Cotswolds staying at the delightful Burleigh Court Restaurant & Hotel. This evening we had an early supper at the Crown on the High Street in the nearby (20/25 minute walk away) Village of Minchinhampton. It is...

Excellent Sunday Roast enjoyed by all, so much we had to have pudding! Good ambience, only concern the coffee was not hot but we needed to leave so did not complain at the time, it was nice coffee just a bit cool.

Another lovely evening at the Crown, we were looked after by Simon who is doing a fabulous job. This pub feels much more like a local since it has been taken over. The decor inside is really beautiful now and the food and service so...

We had a very delicious Sunday Lunch (Oct 22nd). We had the Roast Beef. Very generous portions it was too. The Yorkshire Puddings were the largest I have ever seen, obviously made by the chef himself. Perhsps not the cheapest Sunday Lunch but you get...

We chose this pub for our Sunday lunch because we had gone before and the food was exceptional. When we got there, they had not read the email notifying them that we would now be a party of 3 instead of 4 and they had...

A lovely welcoming pub in a delightful place. The fire was very welcoming on a cold evening and the food was very good. The staff were attentive and the atmosphere was nice.

Absolutely delicious Sunday lunch at The Crown! The service was friendly & professional, and the pub had a lovely atmosphere. There were lots of appreciative ‘eating noises’ from our party! We are spoiled around Stroud for good pub food…but the crown has my favourite Sunday roast gravy EVER! Thanks to the team & see you again soon, I hope! Highly recommended.

Lovely evening. Fantastic service, great food and brilliant atmosphere. So lucky have The Crown as our local.

What a fantastic welcoming place to go for our evening meal, such friendly people and great food. We arrived earlier than planned to a quiet pub, which gradually filled up allowing us to witness the fantastic way the staff were with every new arrival. A fairly local place to us that we couldn’t believe we’ve never visited before

The service was not very prompt, I asked for extra gravy which did not appear. We also asked for a bottle of still mineral water which did not appear. The desert then took about 20 mins to arrive after being ordered.

Great atmosphere, informal and welcoming. The food was delicious and plentiful! I would recommend The Crown for any occasion where people want to meet, chat and eat in a relaxed environment!

Very friendly and accommodating staff, nice ambience and absolutely delicious food. Can highly recommend the Rissoto.

Found this amazing dog friendly pub. Superb, tasty food - good portion size Great atmosphere with very friendly helpful staff The chef sent his apologies as he wasn't happy with one of his dishes so he cooked it all again from scratch - so impressed as not all establishments would do this, they'd just send out subpar food Would definitely recommend and would come back again if in this area

We ate at the Crown for my daughters birthday. Sadly it was not at all enjoyable the food was just okay. The service was dire at best and one young man came across as rude. The pub also had a folk band playing that we could not hear each other speak.

Struggling to find a local pub that would serve dinner on a Sunday evening, we were able to book online last minute and walk down to the High Street from the Common. We were given a warm welcome, some fine Young's Special in great condition and a lovely supper. Good food with excellent friendly service. We shall return.

Lovely food, so fresh and beautifully presented. Strongly recommend a visit. Its dog friendly day and people friendly too

Met friends here for lunch, & sat out in the garden, as it was such a gorgeous day. Staff were really friendly but explained they were a bit short staffed, so asked us to order at the bar. No problem. Food & drinks came quickly...

Food was so good we went back a second night. Portions and presentation were wonderful as well. Great pub atmosphere that is dog friendly.

Our table was booked for 7.30 pm on a Thursday evening, we arrived 10 minutes early, ordered our drinks and was told we were welcome to sit outside as the weather was very nice but we would have to place our order at the bar,...

Stopped in for lunch on Thursday. The front of house staff were friendly enough, however the kitchen staff had the doors open with their music playing so loudly, it really spoiled the atmosphere. Most of the time they were sitting out in the dining area....

A stunning location and atmosphere. Very welcoming, accommodating staff. Vegetarian options unusual and tasty. Highly recommend.

We had dinner at The Crown for our wedding anniversary. We've eaten there twice before, over a year ago and enjoyed it both times. I'm sad to say this time, it didn't live up to expectations. We were sat on a table for two near...

Our roast lunch was excellent. Succulent spatchcock chicken, plenty of vegetables, along with delicious cauliflower cheese. The service was great, and there was a well thought out wine list. Would highly recommend for lunch or dinner.

We booked dinner here as we were going to Gatcombe Park eventing, which was sadly cancelled due to atrocious weather. We decided to keep the Crown booking as we had also been looking forward to a meal out, but were very disappointed with the roast...

Booked a table for two online and arrived about an hour and half later with my brother to enjoy a meal and some nice beer. As it turned out my brother had a Youngs draught beer and I had an organic IPA. We enjoyed a...

Initial table was unsuitable as it was in a high traffic area. Moved to the Snug were we were relatively comfy albeit with low tables. Excellent meals - bavette steak and seafood rigatoni, were both perfectly prepared.

What an amazing place to enjoy a birthday meal. A lovely building with a great ambience. We chose the Sunday lunch albeit in the evening and it was superb. It's not cheap eats but the quality of the food and the quantity was superb. The...

Great for a casual night out but also perfect for a celebration! We were treating my husband to a birthday meal which we all thoroughly enjoyed. The staff were very welcoming and attentive and the food was great - we all opted for the pork...

Top quality food and beers. Really lovely garden, friendly staff and locals. Can’t wait to come back.

I had booked beforehand, although it turned out to be a quiet day, and I was impressed but concerned to receive a phone call beforehand. However I was so pleased because it seemed their fish supplier had been delayed so they wanted to warn us...

The Crown In has a wonderful ambiance. It is set in the medieval town of Minchinhampton. Inside it is airy with lovely views out onto the Market Square. The food was well cooked and well priced I had the fish (Haddock) in beer batter and...

Really lovely meal. At first glance, menu looked a bit 'pubby', however, the food was to a much higher standard than expected. Looked and tasted beautiful. The service was relaxed, but good. Wine list short, but with a nice mix of wines. We came for...

Well-thought-out menu, great staff and sublime courtyard = highly recommended. Great job team. Will certainly be back.

Food was good but the service was excellent. Izzy K is a star, very kind and attentive. Felt a little rushed to get our order in from a different waitress especially considering we were 10 minutes early for our reservation but overall, great experience.

On a lovely evening, this was a great experience. The staff were both efficient and friendly. The food was really very good and the ambiance in the garden in a sunny evening was second to none

Popped in for a quick drink, lovely courtyard, great atmosphere and have to say the politest, most charming staff we’ve experienced for a long, long time.

Lovely garden, great choice of food and drink, caters for kids (8 and 4 - both fussy) and the service was excellent! Really friendly waitress who had also reserved us a table inside as well as our garden table booking in case it was too...
