Food was very average, service poor and ambience average. Prices were extortionate. Two mains, one started, bottled of white wine and glass of red came to £160.31. Mark up on wine was ridiculous - £50 for a bottle of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and £17.50 for a glass of house red. Goats cheese starter £14. Side of fries £7. We will not be returning.

What a super find. Amazing staff (lovely and accommodating), super “street food” for the garden service, georgeous setting and the piece de resistance was the live music (always on a Saturday from 2-4 they said) in the garden out back. That guy had an incredible voice. Wow! Thank you all - you guys that The Crown for pubs in the area! We’ll be back for sure. 👌

Although the restaurant is lovely the service was a bit OTT. The waiter was hovering to pour water every time we took a sip. We felt watched and slightly smothered. Childs portion of macaroni cheese was tasteless. We didn't feel relaxed at all didn't bother with dessert. Would not go back again for dinner may try lunch outside as a beautiful garden area

Disappointed , Great Location, setting , food & drink but don’t serve food outside 🤷🏻♂️ , massive garden & playground. After work / school come with friends & family for some food & drink on a nice day but only serve food indoors , I just don’t get it . It’s a shame

Absolutely fabulous modern county pub with warm and welcoming decor. Lots of space to park the car and accessible for wheelchairs and pushchairs. The menu is busting with choices with something to suit all tastes. The burger was a winner for our teenage kids and we tucked into fish with delicious sides . The dessert menu was equally amazing and the modern twist on apple crumble was very clever. We can’t wait to return and recommend to all our friends. Well worth a visit!

Had a wonderful family meal here yesterday (Sunday). There was 14 of us with quite a few demands(!) - Turn down the music/fussy kids/splitting the desserts etc etc and the staff could not have been more accommodating. We all had a lovely time. The roast dinners were absolutely lovely, the toilets were clean, the drinks menu was great and the pub itself was well appointed. Will DEFINITELY be back - if the staff don’t mind us returning en masse!!!

Sunday lunch - so we all had the beef Sunday roast. Absolutely marvellous! 3 Decent slices of pink meat with an excellent Yorkshire pudding. Decent tatties although not crispy - meh. Superb veg of broccoli, carrots, turnip, mangetout, french beans and parsnips. Separately a good amount of cauliflower cheese to share. Devine gravy - and more brought to the table on request. Plenty of horseradish sauce too. Couldn’t really fault it - although I do like sprouts at the this time of year! No room for pudding. A glass of Shiraz, 2 pints of diet coke and tap water all round. Under £100 - superb value. Nice atmosphere, and apparently the Loos were tip-top. The interior of the place lacks any slick design and outside is a bit scruffy, but overall we loved it and would absolutely recommend their Sunday lunch roast 100%

Booked a table for a Sunday (17/09/23) afternoon for my Grandmothers birthday, we had seen good reviews and were hopeful for a lovely meal. We were sat down on a sticky table, ordered drinks, and eventually ordered food. Despite having very few customers (after 3:30pm) we were often forgotten about. Starters and mains came out and were adequate (if a little cold). We ordered desserts which were disappointing and coffees that tasted burnt. When we finally asked for the bill, we were again forgotten and had to ask again, and when it eventually came had been charged a whopping £100.05 for a single trifle. When this mistake was pointed out, there was no apology, no explanation of an accident or anything. Due to this sour response, we requested the service charge be removed too. The staff member then huffed and stomped away very rudely. As someone who has worked in the hospitality industry I was disgusted and embarrassed to have brought my family here for a celebration. So upsetting. My advice would be check your bills carefully if you attend. (Attached is the £100.05 trifle itself (which was definitely not worth it!))

Came here with my husband for the first time since Covid and so surprised by the change and lovely decor; the ambience is very welcoming and warm. Food (steak cooked perfectly and the chicken supreme which was so well seasoned). Service was fantastic with a very attentive waiter and we had such a lovely evening. The Crown used to be our usual ladies get-together too, so came with friends and had the same experience - waiting staff were lovely and friendly and we all enjoyed our food. We've booked again for our Anniversary at the end of July - thank goodness we have our lovely 'regular' back.

As locals, we've tried this pub a handful of times over the last few years and usually left slightly disappointed, but only this time I feel compelled to share our experience.Sadly from a food point of view, the Crown represents everything that is wrong with gastro pubs in this area - tasteless, awfully presented and grossly overpriced food.I say sadly, as the staff are helpful and pleasant, the interior decor is gorgeous and the outdoor area is splendid with a lovely wooden play area for the children and a view onto fields. What could be wrong?Well the food ...For example I had a 'wipped liver pate' for a starter. Sounded good, except I didn't know what animal's liver I was eating. I assumed chicken but who knows as there was no flavour. Unfortunately the presentation meant I was delivered an edible turd on a platter. I just wish I'd got a photo!My main was worse - undercooked fries,and 'Moules mariniere' . The mussels had not been cleaned properly and were cooked in pretty tasteless dishwater with chunks of raw garlic.If anyone had come to check how our food was, or enquired at any point I would have shared my thoughts but noone did.I passed on desert but my husband (who had been served a tiny portion of fish for his main normally £14) had salted caramel mousse with vanilla ice cream, which turned out to be a chocolate splodge on a plate, some caramel sauce and chocolate ice cream. You could get away with charging £6.50 if it tasted great but ...Thank goodness we had the government discount and the children enjoyed the outdoor space. Credit to the staff for the measures in place, but we won't be back.

We used the app to order which was simple enough, with the guidance from the most happy waiter full of smile who greeted us at the entrance. The staff were attentive, kind and understanding, even though my two kids were playful and a little messy. Finally, the food was good and the price we paid incredible - only 50% percent of the bill through Eat Out Help Out scheme. Well worth a visit!

We were looking for a place that could accommodate a meal for 6 adults last Saturday. It was busy, and we had not booked online. We were immediately approached by a member of staff and a table for 6 was found outside. The rain started and we were moved to a table inside. From the start nothing was too much trouble for this lovely staff team. We had a most enjoyable time and made to feel so welcome. Our group had various meal options and we were very pleased with the recommendation for food and drinks. A special thank you to the barman for the cold and refreshing drinks. We will certainly be going again.

Sit down and order drinks on the phone they turn up oki.I then had a question about the menu so I walked upto the bar.... I did not stand at the bar infact I stood a good few metres away to be spoken to by the barman who said ‘do not come near the bar or me, you should not speak to me that is what they are for...!’ And then proceeded to point at a member of staff! I gave up in trying to ask a question.. no staff seemed to be aroundWe ordered food on the app and added notes to say no cheese in the beef burgers .... very simpleSo we sat at the table at 1330 it had just gone 1500 by the time the food had turned up and the beef burgers had cheese! Everything else was fine, food was warm.I was impressed with the size of the kids portions and my boys did enjoy the dinnerWe ordered some more drinks to go with our dinner and I think they turned up 20 minutes after we orderedThey then add a huge service charge on when we came to pay....!Can’t say if we are in the area again we shall be returning!

so the food took ages to come and i understand it’s slowed down because of corona virus, but that was a joke. never waited so long at a pub for anything. the food was not a good standard, and the portions were small for the price. i was pretty disappointed until i paid the bill and had to ask a few people before it finally came 20 minutes later, and then i realised there’s a £9 service charge on top of the tab for the slowest service i’ve ever received. i felt mocked to say the least. 1/5 from me if that

My friend and I met at the crown inn for a catch up for the first time since before lockdown! The crown was the perfect place for us to have a bite to eat and a blether. I haven’t really been out to many restaurants, cafes or bars since restrictions have been lifted but being at the crown made me feel completely at ease. We were seated socially distanced from other tables, the staff were lovely and the online ordering system was super easy and efficient. So great to see one of my favourite local businesses back and thriving again!

So happy The Crown is back open. With this amazing sunny weather, we sat outdoors in the beer garden. I really enjoyed the thin barbecue pizza while my partner enjoyed the Palma pizza (And of course some vino to wash it down) All the tables were spread out far enough to make you feel at ease (Min 2metres), but not too far apart to kill the atmosphere. There were numerous hand sanitisation stations dotted about, and a simple 1 way system (Some places I’ve visited make it so complicated?!?). It was also great being able to order through the online system. Good idea guys! We’ll be back soon.

I visited on Saturday, first time out since lockdown, I was extremely disappointed. Lots of government guidelines not being followed by staff despite the pub being set out well. The whole place was void of any kind of charisma and management, it used to be operated by a gentleman called Ed who always made us feel welcome and ensured throughout our meal that everything exceeded expectation. Unfortunately it seems the owners have been unable to replicate this, such a shame as the pub has huge potential, probably will not visit again.

We visited on a dreary October day but the ‘Crown’ brightened up our day... will visit again soon & can’t wait to sample the summer BBQ & beer garden...All staff, especially Jordyn did an excellent job of making us welcome & turned an ordinary Sunday lunch into a memorable one...

Enjoyed a few beers and a bite to eat this week at The Crown.The clearly new bartender Sam was doing his best with what he had to offer, attentive and well spoken. Unfortunately on this occasion our food took well over an hour, but this may have been due to having innadequate till training rather than a fault of either the staff or chefs. Thankfully when I did raise my concerns on the time the food took it was quickly resolved and in a professional manner. Very good food I must add, enjoyed the three small plates!I’ve stuck with my rating as if the food was served in time and the service was as it would be regardless. A slight fault which could have caused catastrophe with some people but everyone is human, everyone takes time to learn!Maybe a little extra time training and it would have been a very nice evening!

To be honest it’s only slow service because there is no f o h managerial post. The owner needs a senior figure to inspire and direct staff. Steer clear.

The Wake was exceptional, it provided comfort for all. Sandwiches were good and the staff were exeptional.

I've been to The Crown Inn a few times before and always been impressed, however, after dining there on Thursday evening I wouldn't rush back. I'm really not sure what was going on and hope it was a one off, but the service was unbelievably slow and very unorganised. We arrived at around 6pm and didn't leave until nearly 9pm and that was just for a main course. We were offered 1 complimentary dessert for a party of 4, which we thought was strange compensation, but by nearly 9pm and having to ask for a dessert menu ourselves we paid up and left. The staff were nice and were apologetic, but we will pick somewhere else next time.

Spare of the moment decided to lunch here, not been here before and thought we'd try...we were not disappointed. Recieved a warm welcome and served our drinks, enquired about food and a menu was supplied. Atmosphere was great and choice of areas to dine were good. We decided to sit in the snug and a very friendly, knowledgeable waiter recommended dishes to suit dietry needs. Moved to sit outside, very pleasant garden and outside seating areas..food was served and was presented exceptionally well - Pumpkin & goats cheese strudel,side of garlic mushrooms and cod an' chips with starter of pork belly bites..all freshly prepped and cooked to order. Amazing service, great price and lovely setting, definately recommend and shall be returning. Thank you

A reservation had been made for nine of us, only to be told upon arrival that no booking was found. We were however found a table outside, which was good, but did not find the staff very friendly or apologetic about the mix up.The outside area is lovely with a nice play area for children. We arrived at 6pm but our food did not arrive until 8.30pm and the quality was poor in relation to the price. The waiter had informed us that somehow our order had not made it to the kitchen, hence the long wait. He did offer us some bread and a free round of drinks to compensate, which was welcomed. However, in general we found the staff to be lacking good customer service skills. We were made to feel as though they were doing us a massive favour, despite it being their mistake.

I recently visited The Crown and the food was fantastic and the service was amazing. I would 100% recommend this establishment not just for a quiet drink but anyone who wanted to dine out and enjoy a relaxing atmosphere. Not to mention the reasonable prices.

The Crown Inn, good food. The steak looked good, my bangers and mash were fair, the belly of pork starter was mean cuisine, the whitebait were good. There was a table of 12 in and my family members were anxious about time. In fact they were clearly rattled when the meals arrived separately. The manager did apologise. Would i go again yes, it really comes down to the experience of the waiters, our made a basic error by not listening! Good but what would they do on a busy weekend day? 14 meals seemed a struggle but there must have been seats for many, many more dinners.

I popped in here a couple of weeks ago. I was so underwhelmed at the surly service at the bar, and the poor value for money/ general cost of the venue, I must have just forgottwn to write a review.

A great seating area with table service and an outdoor bar. All overlooking fields with horses and foals as well as a great play area for the kids. Good choice of drinks and varied menu. Great place

I would like to give a review but unfortunately although I had made a reservation and turned up. The crown failed to honour it. In fact they cancelled the booking without notice.

Restaurant food was a bit overpriced, which explained why it was empty on a Saturday lunchtime.

Visited here for Sunday lunch. Was welcomed as we entered and shown to our table. The waitress was very friendly and helpful and went out of her way every 15 mins or so to make sure we were happy and if we needed anything. The meal arrived very quickly, hot & cooked perfectly. I had the 3 meat combo but only got two meats which I wasn’t informed by, but the lack of the third was made up with the other two meats so not a big deal. We even asked if they had any crackling which was brought out free of charge which was a nice added touch. The service was excellent. Then they a point of saying goodbye and asked if we enjoyed our meal as we left. Great place to go & very good value. Would highly recommend.

Quite busy for a Wednesday lunchtime, but space enough for the 4 of us. Ordered 1 x fish & Chips, 1 x Scampi & Chips & 1 x Fish pie which was shared by 2 (to be honest more than enough). All delicious and plates cleared. We followed with 3 x Apple Crumble & Ice cream (as opposed to custard) but when requested were more than happy to provide cream as well. AND 1 x Ice cream - I just needed something sweet, a scoop of vanilla & salted caramel . . . job done. All beautifully presented, but sadly I have no photo's as I wanted to eat, not photograph!
