The Crown Inn in South Somerset

Went with a party of friends for Sunday lunch and was extremely disappointed at the standard of food. We were sat at a table outside the kitchens yet everything was served lukewarm with glutinous gravy. The meat was just piled on the plate burying, or should I say, concealing the small potato. The carrot, parsnip, yes singular, were greasy, whereas the broccoli, red cabbage and cauliflower cheese were missing some much needed warmth. The waitress kindly offered to bring us any additional vegetables so to supplement the meagre portion of roasts we asked for more along with some additional gravy. What was not mentioned was that these items would then be charged for, even £1.50 for the gravy. Not recommended and neither will we be returning.

We have had several Sunday Roasts here and they have all been delicious. Both my husband and I are vegetarian and we were over the moon when we discovered that The Crown serve a proper roast dinner for us as well. All too often it seems the Sunday lunch is preserved just for the meat eaters but not here! Our food was delicious, veg wasn’t overcooked and the gravy was sublime. We also loved that you could order a regular roast or large roast. We both ordered large roasts as we don’t have sweet tooth’s so wouldn’t be interested in the dessert menu. We spotted on our last Sunday lunch outing that you could even order side portions of sage and onion stuffing and roasties! They even cater for children who don’t want a roast dinner. Our son was very happy with his burger and fries from the children’s menu. Staff are great and they have all looked after us on our visits and we couldn’t ask for more.

Amazing pub lovely staff friendly customers we were really made to feel so welcome for my wife's 40th birthday. The staff and owners are so lovely and surprised my wife with a birthday treat and a rendition of happy birthday which really meant a lot to us. I highly recommend a visit to the Crown inn in Fivehead and we will be returning now we are new locals to the village. So I downloaded the app from the play store and it is well worth it. We had the steak night deal 2 x steaks cooked to perfection and the chips etc were yummy and a bottle of wine a fantastic deal. The app also informs you of other meal deals and provides a bar code for the till. It also informs you of pub all the events etc. Thank you for a lovely evening kindest regards Stuart

Not really an ideal Sunday lunch. Our table wasn't ready on arrival. Not enough staff. 2 people to serve drinks, run food take orders etc for the whole pub. When the food came we had small portions served instead of normal. Not all the items stated were served initially. More roast meat came and the crakling we should have had. We didn't get anymore potatoes so only had 2 each. Roast veg, potatoes, homemade Yorkies were all excellent. The broccoli and red cabbage needed more love. You win some, you lose some I guess. They did amend our bill accordingly so we left feeling ok just a bit disappointed.

First time here but won't be our last. The food was excellent with huge portions. The Caulifloer cheese was really tasty and the roast potatoes were lovely and crispy. Good selection of drinks and desserts looked lovely, it was a shame we were too full!. It seems very popular so we were glad our friends booked, the staff were working really hard but were still friendly and attentive

What a fantastic Sunday Lunch! The best cauliflower cheese in the area by far. They have a beautiful new function room that's been redecorated and refurbished, as well as a new selection of great spirits and ales! Highly recommended.

Lovely food And great drink offers all around a brilliant experience The steaks Are fantastic And the staff were absolutely brilliant

Friendly welcome and lovely relaxed atmosphere. Superb Sunday lunch - generous portions and nice that the choice of meats varies too! Would highly recommend.

We took our niece, from Spain to the Crown to show her a traditional Country Pub. We were not disappointed. The steak was bang on and cooked to perfection and the fish and chips were to die for. A well recommended pub to visit for food and drink.

Had a fantastic Sunday lunch on 11th of Feb at this super village pub. Really friendly welcome and service from the bar staff plus the chef who popped out from time to time from the kitchen to check in on the dinners. I had the nut roast (which was delicious!) and on the table we also had the roast pork and roast chicken - all cooked to perfection. Nice selection of deserts (sticky toffee pudding !!!) and plenty of happy clientele made for a perfect Sunday afternoon! Will visit again soon. A great selection of beers and wine's and great to see the support given to local cider producers and breweries alongside the more traditional pub names.

We came down last night for the New years eve party. It was great! Atmosphere was lovely. We're new to the village and have been welcomed so warmly by not only the landlords but the whole community. The buffet was delicious and thanks for taking the time to point out the vegan options. Unfortunately we had to leave before midnight but we wish you a very happy and prosperous New Year to all at the Crown.

Went for Sunday lunch last week, absolutely amazing food and also service from the bar staff was amazing, especially I think his name was Adam who brought our drinks to the table every time. Will definitely be booking again soon. Thank you Crown Inn

Nine of us went to The Crown at Fivehead yesterday for Christmas lunch, it was delicious! I and my partner had the prawn starter, roast beef and Christmas pudding, some others had pate, turkey and lemon parfit, and two had the sea bass. They all said how wonderful it all was and how well we were looked after. We had a great afternoon together, thank you Del and Ant!

Very atmospheric village pub with beautiful fireplaces tucked down a little lane. Staff are super friendly and the place has a great vibe. A lovely little place to visit for a cosy evening.

Absolutely amazing food and service. Never tasted such amazing delicious food and even had our drinks brought to us by the Barmen who has the most amazing blue eyes. Will definitely be back for more food.

Lovely pub, really friendly and welcoming, the staff and owners are great at their job and have a good laugh, the food is traditional pub grub with some weekly specials and very tasty. I enjoy the fact that the staff are not dressed to empress as it makes for a better atmosphere between them and us
