Great food in a nice old traditional cotswold pub setting. A very interesting menu with favourites like duck and venison available as well as standards such as fish and chips, burgers and steaks.

With all the rich moving into the area the pub and restaurants are now becoming too expensive and exclusive. It's good that local tradesmen and single mums have found a welcome here. They can park kids behind a bag of crisps in the bar. They can shout and use the F word loudly and frequently. With this crowd the staff become distracted and unattentive and there were very few diners. The food with catering to small numbers becomes ordinary. The range of wine by the glass is excellent but for fizz only cheap Prosecco now. I have been a regular occasional diner here for more than 30 years. How the place has changed. I prefer eating in the bar as it is warmer than the cold restaurant at the back. If you want a meal without the above you must use the restaurant. By the way with service charge for two the meal was nearly £200. The 'floor show' being free.

Quant, old country accommodation. Nice cozy bar and room. Incredibly comfortable bed. The highlight is definitely the delicious food. Can't believe how great someone can make white onion soup, chicken thighs and perogi. I'm of Polish descent and they were the best I've ever had. Staff as nice and friendly as can be. Will be going back.

A party of us were seated in the conservatory part for our Christmas Dinner gathering. It was the most underwhelming and unchristmassy event ever. No Christmas spirit here, no decorations apart from a tree in the foyer. Food was good but lacking in quantity for the price. None of us will be rushing back.

Booked in advance, we arrived to a really friendly welcome. It’s a cozy country pub restaurant, roaring fire, lots of locals plus outsiders like ourselves. Lovely feel and vibe to the place, relaxed and well decorated yet Cotswolds charm but not up itself. The staff worked so hard, serving drinks, food in the restaurant area and also seeing people to their rooms, yet very friendly and unstressed. Slightly late on our part, we sat down and were not rushed at all. Choosing from a varied menu we had some of their home made bread and different butters to munch on, lovely and hot and tasty. We followed this with starters of Turkish eggs, duck poached egg on a crumpet and crab and lobster Thermidor with a roll. Having tried all of these I would recommend any of them. With the mains we had two halibut dishes coming with a celeriac remolade, mallard, and the risotto. There were items on the menu which we asked the ladies to tell us what they actually were and they had to go off and ask the chefs so maybe they could have be informed better. But was not a problem as we got the answers soon enough. We also had seasonal veg sides and chips. They also had classics like fish and chips etc but is nice to go off piste and have something you wouldn’t normally have maybe at home. Finally desserts of ice cream, chocolate tart and lemon mousse, this was a really great selection of food. The staff were outstanding throughout. I would definitely go again. Parking wasn’t the easiest but was to be expected in a small village and we were only a few minutes away. Great find in the Cotswolds. Enjoy

An ungentrified pub, (yes you can have a drink without food here), which also has absolutely delicious food - shout out to the crab and kimchi starter with warm homemade bread and the excellent fish and chips. Service was perfect, attentive and friendly. This may not have had the Cotswolds’ makeover but that is very much in its favour. A local with terrific standards. We loved it.

Visited the cotswolds as a birthday treat for the wife and chose to stay a couple of nights at the Crown Inn. So glad we chose this amazing Inn. The staff, the drinks, the food, the rooms, the open fire, were all perfect. Ideal place to unwind, relax and explore the lovely area. If we are ever in this part of the country again we will most certainly be rebooking the Crown and will 100% be recommending to friends and family.

We had a lovely lunch here. Interesting menu. Clearly the chef knows what he/she is doing here. Crispy cods skins were delicious, cheddar beignets just as nice. Sausage and mash good (slightly heavy on the herbs with the sausage made it slightly over powering). Fish and chips top notch. Lovely open fire and bar area. Shame it was so quiet for a Friday lunch time as only 3 tables occupied. Spotless toilets and friendly staff. Will return.

We had Sunday lunch. The restaurant itself is charming. A set menu was the only thing offered and it was reasonably priced but a bit limited (choice of 4 starters but 1 unavailable, so that’s soup plus 2 options then - and neither was veggie,) good choice of Sunday roasts for main but the only other options were one fish dish or veggie lasagne. Food was good quality, veg well cooked and plenty of meat on the roast. Yorkshire pudding accompanying the roast beef was dry and brittle though. Puddings were all excellent. Restaurant itself is clean and has a nice atmosphere, staff are very willing and charming. Service, was, however, a struggle, as they had to be flagged down and asked for everything (bread with starter, table water, wine list, ordering wine from wine list, horseradish with beef, extra gravy, coffee, the bill etc) all of which was willingly supplied quickly and with a smile but it was a shame it wasn’t offered in the first place without having to keep calling for service. Good quality wine list but in my opinion a bit pricy. Parking on site is a bit limited but you can get parked in the village somewhere which is fine for the able bodied. Overall a nice experience but there are a lot of pubs offering Sunday lunch in villages around here and it didn’t stand out for me. This is a very personal thing, but I like to go out for lunch on a Sunday and not have to eat a roast, even if others in my party want one. But if you want a good traditional roast, English county pub experience then I reckon you’ll love it.

A traditional bar area with stone flooring is twinned with an extensive dining area.The menu choice is really impressive. I had the trout kedgeree and my wife the partridge special but there were any number of dishes I could have chosen. Wine by the glass is available. Prompt service and an attractive ambience will encourage us to visit again. If you are prepared to walk a few yards from the village street car parking is not an issue.

Spent the weekend here and had a lovely stay. Beautiful clean and recently rennovated room with high quality bedding. Food is of an outstanding quality both at dinner and breakfast. Food and drink very reasonably priced.

You know the feeling when you think you've found somewhere special but are a little nervous and apprehensive that it lives up to your hopes and expectations ?

Fabulous lunch again at the Crown, Enstone. The food and service is fantastic. Shame about the obnoxiously petty local residents complaining about the parking. Great Local gastro pubs are a rare find. The locals should be supportive not attacking customers.... Please don’t let the local residents put you off, them complain about everything!

We turned up without a booking and a table was made available for us. We decided on a roast, I had the chicken and my husband had the beef, it was very good, although the waitress did forget the horseradish for the beef, but she was very busy as were all the staff. They were friendly and always had a smile.

I often muse about what would be the perfect menu.

Made a late booking literally ten minutes from the hotel while in car and delighted with my find. Parking easy as well.

If this is your local, you enjoy the atmosphere and aren't looking for anything special from the food then this inn may suit you fine. But if you're looking for gastropub-level cooking and professional service then look elsewhere. The food we had was perfectly OK but very ordinary and lacking in flavour, and the service was definitely amateurish. No cheery farewell or thank-you when we left - and we hadn't complained or been rude about anything. For this level of quality, the food is overpriced. A couple of days later we ate in a restaurant in South Warwickshire which charged less and provided absolutely top-quality food plus really professional service: see my other reviews. Oh, and parking if difficult.

Came to the Crown Inn with my wife on a recommendation. The reception is warm and welcoming, the room spacious, bathroom a dream and a bath you could almost swim in! Not your average Inn. Very good paintings adorn the walls, which are for sale, and the Hookey beer delicious!

My boyfriend and I stayed for just one night to attend Cornbury Festival. The Crown Inn was an amazing find. Gorgeous 17th century Inn, full of character, beautifully decorated and in an idyllic village. The staff were very helpful & friendly, even giving us a lift to the festival. I would definitely recommend & I really hope to go back and stay there again.

Arrived at the Crown with a group of friends on a day out to celebrate a number of family birthdays. The team at the Crown were able to accommodate all 12 of us. Food and service were wonderful, with nothing too much trouble. The menu has something for everyone (including a fussy vegetarian, and a number of children and teenagers) with a good range of wine and beer.

Quality pub I'm told 400 years old unspoilt with nice bar area and separate restaurant

I went for lunch with a friend and the setting was lovely but the service was terrible, the tables had not been cleaned and when I asked for it to be cleaned I was first handed a cloth then it was taken away and I was told it would be cleaned and nothing happened. The food was ok but the service was so bad I don’t think I would go back. They clearly did not want to be there at all. Maybe it was a one off but customer experience has definitely suffered a terrible fate there.
