This was not our first visit to this pub, we went a few years ago and our grown up boys often go. We just decided to give it a go on the off chance to grab a bite to eat and so glad we did. This place is a gem! We don”t live far away but you do sometimes worry that small village pubs are very much for the village locals and the there will be that moment of awkwardness as you walk through the door. Not here! Annie greeted us with the warmest of welcomes and accommodated us straight away. We went on a Saturday so had the regular menu which was lovely. My husband had the pork belly and I had the chicken pie, both were beautiful. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was absolutely amazing. They also do wood fired pizzas and Sunday roasts which we can”t wait to go back and try. We had such a lovely afternoon at the Crown Inn, we went back the next day after a long dog walk for drink and a bowl of chips by the fire with the dog. Annie was there again and introduced us to Claudio, another member of the front of house staff who was equally as warm and welcoming, both are a credit to the pub.

When you pay £30 for a Sunday lunch you expect top notch quality. Potatoes so cruchy they were difficult to cut, yorkshire soft, no cauliflower in the cauliflower cheese, parsnips soggy. Indewd a token gesture of veg. Gravy bland. Overall it was overpriced for an average meal and I don't expect to pay a 12.5% service charge in a pub, and I don't think this was advertised on the menu. Service was poor aswell and a pepper grinder wouldn't go a miss.

We went with a big party of 19 for our pre wedding meal in December and from the start of the booking process until the end of the meal we had a great experience. As it was a large party and just before Christmas we had to provide our food options in advance but we had a lot of options as well as some additional vegan options. We also had some allergies that were well catered for. The food was served very timely on the night and was delicious. The service was wonderful and. The atmosphere was so cosy. It really got us in the festive and celebratory mood for the wedding the next day and was the perfect way to start off the celebrations!

My daughter and I booked for Christmas lunch and I have to say, it was exceptional. Never had a better meal out. It started with a selection of hors de oeuvres, then a starter, a main course - the best beef wellington I've ever been served; for dessert I chose a ginger ice cream bombe and my daughter a winter berry crumble. A cheese board followed, at which point, we surrendered and asked for a doggy bag, which was promptly supplied. As we prepared to leave The Crown, the proprietor reminded us that we'd not had the mince pies and coffee, adding the pies to the doggy bag. An excellent experience, a great Christmas atmosphere and a very prompt and attentive service, definitely looking to repeat it, even if I have to wait 12 months.

I had a great experience here. The greeting and service were both amazing. Lovely and quaint place with lovely roaring fires. The food was really good, I had the vegetarian roast, which was great. Not local to me, I met a friend there but well worth the drive. It's on the pricy side, and they include an above average service charge, which personally I think should be optional, however the service was great when we there.

What an excellent experience we've had today at The Crown. It's a beautiful, quaint building and with the roaring fires provides a relaxing, welcoming atmosphere. The staff were very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious and cooked well - my lamb shank was tender and tasty and the traditional turkey dinner was a delight for the eyes and equally enjoyed. It was a little more pricey than I'd usually pay - but for the quality of the food, the excellent service and the general experience, well worth it.

we'd eaten at the Crown last year and had great food along with great service so were looking forward to eating there again. We received a friendly welcome on arrival from the gentleman behind the bar, (think his name was Nathan). Ordered some drinks and were shown to where our table was which we'd booked. We sat and waited about 10 mins and no menus were brought to us. we then thought has it changed to order at the bar. my husband went up to the bar and asked for 2 menus. A lady with blond hair aplogised and said she didn't know we'd arrived. She then gave my husband two menus. We thought it was odd she didn't know we had arrived for our table as we'd told the gentlemen behind the bar. We then waited about 20 mins and noone came and asked for our order. at this point, there were some people sitting outside and a few people inside so in our eyes not very busy. Certainly not as busy as the Saturday we came on last year. The lady said to some other diners near us they were very busy so there maybe a delay with food. We raised our eyebrows at this comment as they didn't seem to have many people yet they felt this was busy?! were we now going to have to wait a long time for food? We don't mind waiting a little while but there is a limit....Anyway, our order was eventually taken and over 30 mins later our starters arrived. My scallop starter was excellent. my husband had the garlic bread which he said was undercooked, quite doey. he didn't send it back as he was so hungry and was worried it would just add another delay. Our mains arrived not long after starters and we both had the burgers. they were delicious. along with the chips and fresh salad. 10/10!So overall, food was still good. apart from garlic bread. But something fell down in the service. Apart from the kitchen there appeared to only be 2 people working and between them they couldn't seem to cope with the numbers there. with covering the bar, clearing tables, taking orders and getting food out. Shame. on a side note, in this current COVID climate we were quite worried about the seemingly lack of care in terms of protecting customers and staff. neither member of staff wore any face coverings and when we walked in and asked if they wanted us to wear a face covering, we were told they didn't mind! (I wore a mask when walking to the toilet). Also, the menus were in leather covers on paper. Were these being cleaned between each use? I hope so! the only measures in place where some hand sanitizer at the entrance and we were asked to write down our name and number on a piece of paper at the entrance. (for track and trace i assume). We don't know what the law currently is but we would have thought the staff would have face coverings on at least.Would we return to The Crown again? Possibly. as the food was overall very good. But we agreed when in the area we'd try somewhere else next time. They need to sort the service out and be a bit more organized with who is doing what. or perhaps have an extra person. Last year it was spot on so we're not sure what went wrong when we went this time.

Excellent food and service. I can't actually go anywhere else to eat as the food is never as good. We are always made to feel so welcome. A good mix of high end food with a friendly and informal atmosphere.

We often visit The Crown Inn as it is one of our favourite places to eat in Northamptonshire! We went on a date night last night using the Eat Out To Help Out Scheme and couldn’t believe the amazing quality of food for such good prices! The staff are always lovely and Mikey and Hannah always make us feel so welcome! Last night was fish night and the food and wine did not disappoint, so much so we’ve booked for the following Wednesday!

An amazing pub in a delightful village in the heart of the Northamptonshire countryside. Definitely the best pub in the area, with great food, beer and very welcoming friendly staff. Highly recommended.The Crown has also been a saviour for us during lockdown with their delicious and great value take-aways.

Called 6 days before to book. Left message on answerphone to book a time and day and asked to call back to confirm. Called again 2 days later, still answerphone so emailed and got a return confirmation. Got a call from them the following day answering my phone message! Clearly not communicating!Arrived last night bang on time. They were clearly very busy. Registered and went to the bar to check in. No one else at the bar and the only 3 waiting staff in the place were really busy. Was totally ignored for 15 minutes. Then asked name and confirmed reservation etc. The guy said the table wasn't ready and would we mind waiting with a drink.We sat with our drinks for a further 45 mins without being spoken to, but eventually given menus and a further 15 mins later shown to our table. Ordered starters and more drinks. Starters took a further 45 mins to arrive.Ordered more drinks which failed to arrive.The food was not up to standard as we have had some great meals there. My souffle was burned on top, my steak (£28) was not cooked properly and my wife's broccoli was not cooked.It is normally a great place to eat, good atmosphere and well designed etc. Bottom line they didn't have enough staff on to cope with a full house. We left after 3 hours for 2 courses (we weren't shown a dessert menu) and it was 11.30 pm by then...They need to get their act together for a higher end establishment...

Great service...food and beer!Great the crown is open again, and enjoyed the new menu. As always Mike, Ann and team give a great welcome. Our first meal out since 20th March, no worries at all, nothing beats fish n chips with a few pints back in the pub.

What a lovely lunch we had at The Crown Inn. We had the set lunch menu (4 course for £15 inc of a glass of house wine) and then my husband had soup & roast beef sandwich off the main menu. The set lunch was amazing value and very tasty and the roast beef was to die for. We have been in the evening before for food and always enjoyed what we had, but this was the first time we had been for lunch and were delighted with it all.We will definitely be back and would encourage others to drive out and have some delicious food.

Great local pub with friendly staff. The set lunch during the week is phenomenal value. The food is very good quality I can particularly recommend the fish and chips with thin crispy batter and home made tartare sauce. Yum.

Chequered Flag Brackleylocation-iconLark RiseOther cuisines

Tonight was worst experience at the Chequerd Flag that we have ever had. Usually the food is great and the service is good. I ordered the sharers vegan nachos. I said to the manager when delivered that I ordered the one for two people. Which I paid 10.48. he said the portions are measured, I was really not happy with the size. And honestly it would have impacted my view of the restaurant. I very rarely ever complain about a meal or service but as I was really looking forward to the nachos I had complained. The manager offered to take the portion away and make another one. I didn't want to waste the food, I was just disappointed in the portion size as I had 30 nachos or partial nachos and 28 beans for the chilly. But instead of wasting it I would eat it. The taste was really nice. A little bit later the manager came to the table with another nacho sharer. And explained that he wanted the customer to be Happy. I really appreciate him taking this step to turn around a situation that could have meant that I avoided the Cheque Flag in the future to one that I would rate as high customer service. I know there is srinkflation everywhere so I guess it is to be expected that you have reduced the recipe for the menu item...but maybe just a smidge more on the nachos. But thank you to the staff and the manager. And the cooks chef as it definitely tasted nice and they were willing to ensure that we were satisfied customers.
