The Crown Inn in Shropshire

Great pub and made to feel welcome food very nice.

Traditional pub with traditional grub. Very friendly welcome. Great pint! So much so we had to check a couple of times. Lovely spot! Lucky folk who can call this their local.

Warm friendly welcome by the bar lady. Excellent home cooked Sunday roast. homemade yorkies were choice and so too was the moist succulent roast pork. Plenty of gravy too!

Portions were amazing, taste perfect, Mary and her team were so lovely and accommodating on our 1st visit. Based in beautiful village. A must visit. We will be returning .

Very friendly larger is spot on here a little bit run down needs a few quid spending on it but it an old pub

I've not tried the food just yet , but honestly what a nice place , the village is beautiful, the church is absolutely stunning and the pub is very friendly ❤️ ( update # came down for Sunday dinner was amazing ❤️ )

What a lovely old fashioned pub. No modernisation good old fashioned spit and sawdust. Step back in time .. fabulous.The owners are amazing, not only that the regulars were very friendly too. Real home cooked food including real chips couldn’t have asked for anything better. As for the price WOW

Thankyou to Mary & Ken welcoming myself & my 2 little boys Jackrussells! Very dog friendly which is so nice, Mary & Ken spoke to me & told me what drink they have , as they have my favourite wine!Ken was so kind to offer my dogs treats, but they only eat certain treats as very fussy!Had lovely drink, elderflower water as driving . Food looked lovely & Mary eating lovely looking dessert. See you soon thankyou 🐾🐾🐾🐾

Just popped in on the way through and had a lovely chat with the Landlord - whom I recalled from a pub in Stourbridge as it happens. Very good old traditional pub and the heart of the village for sure. Highly recommend.

Lovely friendly pub which was dog friendly and excellent prices 🥰 Mary made us most welcome and Ken too us home instead of a 3 mile walk back in the dark lanes , will definitely return xx

Wonderful friendly country pub. Ken and Mary always very welcoming and cheerful.

If I lived in Claverley this would be my go to pub. Lovely well kept ales, cosy and brimming with character. Bar staff delightful and super friendly clientele. It had that magic perfect local pub feel. We didn't have food. What was being served looked like generous pub fayre. We had a really lovely experience. Thank you.

A little rough around the edges and considering the age and beauty of the building, I feel more could be done to restore or be kind to it. A few more local taps would be nice, other than the Carling/strongbow types. Other than that, the people drinking there seemed friendly and the lady behind the bar did as well, there was also a friendly dog inside. Price is incredibly cheap so that’s good too. Menu looked a little inclusive, but didn’t have time to try anything. Thank you.

We used to lunch at the Crown regularly some 2-3 years ago and the food was always excellent. Having not visited for some time due to Covid etc. we paid another visit last week and the drop in food quality was very noticeable. Frozen mash, dried up chips and raw carrots, which I might add we had waited for over 45 minutes for this. At £8 per meal it is certainly not worth any more, especially as the landlord goes out of his way to state the food is all freshly cooked. In our case it was all freshly warmed up.

Every now and again you can travel back in time and find a proper pub offering super value food alongside properly kept ales and with a cracking atmosphere. This is one of those times. We got a lovely dog friendly welcome from Ken and Mary and all the staff including Gary who doubles up as the local vicar. Incredible value Sunday lunch, excellent beers, what more could you want?

Nice atmosphere. Attentive staff

Good traditional pub. The local Enville Ale was excellent. Great value food - really good faggots, hand cut chips and mushy peas for £9.

A very nice traditional village pub with excellent beers and service. Didn't try the food, but the online menu looks comprehensive and very reasonable, so I hope to sample it in the not too distant future.

This is the place u need to go for good food an honest service n happy place to be the greeting n service is great u feel welcome and looked after it is a proper pub n atmosphere nothing fancy but proper care n a great atmosphere nothing too much trouble x

Traditional English pub with good beer and a very friendly atmosphere. Haven't eaten here but never heard a bad word said about the food. Dog friendly throughout in a beautiful village.

The best 'proper' pub we have been to in ages! Got served by the local vicar and found the owner was a black country man! Scary Mary is the most amazing cook! Looking forward to our next visit, thanks for making us so welcome.

Great Olde Worlde Village pub. Made to feel very welcome by both staff and regulars. Excellent beer at the right price. Lots of free parking. Delightful.

Traditional village pub serving a good selection of ales.

Very good food wonderful atmosphere.

Dropped in for lunch really welcoming good beer and great value lunch. Thanks.

Had such a lovely visit. What wonderful people and food. A must if you are in the area. So friendly feels like home from home

Spent a lovely weekend in Claverley and popped into the Crown. Ken and Mary made us so welcome on the Thursday evening and Saturday lunchtime. We can recommend the food which was lovely and the chips were home made. We shall return!

Fabulous traditional village pub. Both ourselves and our dog made very welcome. Well kept beers and home prepared food stunning, especially the home made chips!! Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We are new to the area and ventured out for a evening meal here. We were made to feel very welcome and the food was lovely and good value. Good old fashioned traditional country pub, we shall return.

What a hidden treasure, fabulous atmosphere, tasty homecooked food at oh so reasonable prices, lovely welcoming hosts I would give 6 stars if I could...Will certainly be returning..Well done Ken & Mary love it ❤️

The most friendly "Mine Host" possible (Ken & Mary) Wonderful beers and great food at very sensible prices. You MUST try it !!!!!!!!

Great pub, super friendly and outstanding food (good value for money. Ken keeps his real ale in good condition and even though he felt poorly he still managed a warm welcome and cheerful smile. Mary cooked our food to perfection and was also very friendly. Highly Recommend The Crown and there's plenty of parking at the rear of the pub

Proper pub this. Fantastic, home cooked traditional pub grub and great selection of well kept ales. Very friendly hosts. Will visit again.

Missus needed to pee so had to make a quick stop What a great friendly bar pity it wasn't very busy as we like country village pubs and this one ticked all the boxes very nice pint great greeting from the proprietor who was full of local information will definitely recommend this place for a quick pint Again though Claverley is full of extremely narrow lanes so careful when visiting

Proper country pub. Cozy with a friendly atmosphere. The host is Scary Mary.

Absolutely amazing little pub. Ken and Mary, fabulous Landlord and Landlady. Just got back from a holiday in Somerset. Didn’t want our holiday to end just yet and decided to call in for a nice drink and some food. Mary provided her famous hand cut chips, for chip butties. Perfect end for our holiday.

We have known Ken and Mary over many years and they are running a wonderful characterful pub in a lovely setting. The food is cooked fresh, value for money and is tasty and they keep a good pint. What more could you want. Give it a try.

Excellent beer & food as always

Wonderful home cooked food made by scary Mary, brilliant landlord, good beer will deffo be back 😊

Absolutely wonderful.. Old fashioned Country pub.. Very welcoming landlord.. his wife cooks nice home made food.. With real home made chips. Meals are delicious & tasty.. Can't wait to return... & dog friendly 💯 👌...

Lovely warm friendly atmosphere with great well kept beers

Fantastic beer. Brilliant staff .Nice old pub with a great atmosphere.

Fabulous value and good Ales plus tasty food

Beautiful home cooked food and fab company! Highly recommended 👌

Made welcome from the second we walked in to the night we left(3 day stay) Staff owners & Food were all top notch and very enjoyable. Stayed at a friend's cabin on the site he works on near Cleaverly. Brilliant evenings here topped off our days riding around the surrounding area's. Highly recommended if you are near by.

Food good, people friendly, could do with a little TLC in the garden area

Visited with our grandchildren and had a lovely meal. A proper pub with home made chips. Food was amazing and really reasonable. The licensees were very friendly and accommodating. Would visit again!

Always a welcome & lovely homely food

Lovely owners and brilliant food first outing since lockdown and will definitely be returning x

Always a Great atmosphere and excellent food

Brilliant old pub nice food and great staff

Brilliant little pub and Ken and Mary are the best landlord and landlady

Friendly atmosphere and good food and beer

Such an Absolutely diamond in the rough. Amazing home cooked food.....brilliant hosts. A class place.....xxxx

Great beer and the staff were very nice , had a chat with a local who was buying eggs from the pub £1.50 per 6 free-range from a local farm , I will go back 😀

Good pub food hand cooked real Chips. Prices are very competitive staff pleasant and friendly village location not the average meal and a drink venue . You have to visit this place to fully appreciate it .

Cosy pub with great food and drinks! Dog friendly too!

Great cosy pub ... Great hosts and cracking food at a great price ....

Excellent food and beer, super staff

Had dinner here on Saturday with family. And oh my gosh the food was amazing!!! Ken and Mary are the perfect hosts, nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend this beautiful rustic hidden gem

Recently visited Claverley and visited the Crown Inn for some lunchtime food. Ordered 2 soups and one Beef Madras and one Steak Pie. Considering we were the 1st people to order food, it took 20 minutes for the soup to arrive and a further 20 minutes for our main course. What spoilt it for me was that we were sat next to the kitchen door and we could continually hear a microwave being used. When the soup arrived, my partners was only luke warm but mine was red hot. As for the main course, my partners Beef Madras she said was ok, but my Steak Pie was rather spoilt by the shortcrust pastry lid which to be honest tasted awful. Don't think I would try the Crown Inn again, sorry!

Excellent fish and chips with mushy peas, well priced with real chips, makes all the difference to a meal.😃😃

Fantastic hosts Mary and ken food absolutely amazing and excellent value well worth a visit great atmosphere so.friendly

Stopped by at the Crown for the first time on a Saturday lunch time. The choice of beers and ciders was very good, the spirits also. The food when selected was cooked to order, the pie was excellent as were the faggots. The chips were freshly hand cut and excellent. All in all a good place to stop. Will be back again soon.

Great to see Ken and Mary yesterday. Lovely pint HPA and Dawn enjoyed the Pino. Fantastic atmosphere lovely pub the food looked amazing.. Rock on Kenny .

Absolutely disgusting! Will certainly not return! Meat stunk as if it was gone off. Couldn’t stomach the meat from the smell! Rude staff... I had mixed grill with cheese on chips (I have gestational diabetes and have to have fat with carbs) the lady came out and looked at me disgracefully because I’d ordered cheese on my chips! My partners T-Bone steak had to be off from the smell, although we were ‘reassured’ it was ‘fresh’ yesterday! Not a chance... Horrendous!! Steer clear I’m now sat round a friends house eating cheese on toast!

Excellent Sunday lunch plus traditional ales

First of all ++ friendly, secondly - classic pub food at incredible prices all set in the historic village of Claverley. Thank you

This is a very homely pub great welcome and home cooked food was great 😊😊😊

Lovely fresh food done by the lovely Mary, welcomed by Ken and Mary

Cracking pub,food was excellent recommend the mixed grill.

We maybe bias but we love Mary & Ken. Mary’s food is proper pub grub. Home cooked chips are her pride and joy. Home cooked food from a black country lass. What more do u needed. And the prices will leave u with change. Ken looks after the bar and people swear by his ale. I regularly hear ‘that’s a nice pint’ I wouldn’t know I don’t drink ale, my partner drinks enough San Miguel 😁 If you are in the area nip in and Mary and Ken will always make u feel welcome.

Outstanding welcome and service from the resident landlord couple. Real pub dishes....fine faggots and lovely liver! Strong Black Country influence. Great banter and humour throughout the bar. Do hope the place thrives as there are less and less 'proper' pubs like this. They used to be everywhere, but the current fashion for faceless, sanitised so called gastro pubs has dramatically changed the drinking scene....in my personal opinion for the worse. There are generations of young drinkers out there who have no idea of what traditional boozers were all about. Go along to this place and experience the simple pleasures of life. It was good to see the local vicar in there with his young family. Pretty sure though, he wasn't drinking their unique German top fermented lager that goes by the name of 'Hell'

Quiet country village pub. Good array of bears lagers and ciders. Serves food, outdoor seating area and a large car park. What's not to like? Access by wheelchair is going to be difficult from the carpark/ garden entrance due to steps. I can't recall another entrance but I suspect there is?

We stopped here for dinner on a Friday evening without a booking. I had the gammon and (fresh and home cooked) chips and my wife had the veggie burger. Great value and great taste - perfect. Ken and Mary are great hosts.

Stopped for a bite to eat at lunch time. Very tasty, good value, brought back old memories will definitely go back.

Visiting our daughter, took her for lunch. The pub is cosy, the staff and other customers friendly. Prices are cheap but it is no way nasty, Home made and home cooked to a very high standard. Pastry on the pie was wonderful and the chips a treat. Mixed grill so large it is served on 2 plates !! Area outside to sit if nice and a large car park. When we visit the area again we will also drop in here. Well done to the staff and Ken and Mary.

Absolutely delicious food, cooked to perfection . simple down to earth no frills at a more than reasonable price. We went to Claverley by chance finding the Crown had reopened after being closed for a long period of time.

I've been many times in the last year - since in changed to new owners - excellent range of beers and ales, especially Real Ales. They serve food almost all the time as far as I can see...its always possible to get a meal!! Food is very well prepared traditional fare - its not the Ritz but neither does it claim to be..!!

Comfortable, happy atmosphere. Very good food prices. Small area outside for outdoor drinking. Would benefit from proper garden area. Will definitely go again.

Decided on a particular pub and decided to use satnav to find it, the dratted thing gave up the ghost and we were lost. Stick to old fashioned maps in the future!

First time in Crown for lunch. We arrived about 3 and not much food left as it had been very busy. Mary still made us lunch using the last beef and pork. To be fair it was very good with homemade Yorkshire’s and tasty gravy. Definitely go again.

Well worth dropping in beer spot on and so is the food if you fancy some home cooking 5 stars

An experience that's for sure. The landlady and landlord were very happy and welcomed you. It was very quiet when we arrived, a few local people in the bar, and i have to say all men. At first i felt a little awkward as i had my granddaughter with us, but the landlady soon put us at our ease. I will certainly come back as our dog will be allowed in the bar. Thanks look forward to seeing you soon. Food was ok as well.

Lovely old pub. Landlord's good fun. Beer well kept.

Fantastic pub, beer well kept and the food is great.

Cracking friendly pub.. with great food at a great price. With very friendly Service.

Very welcoming, good home cooked food at a very reasonable price, Ken and Mary are doing an excellent job.

The friendliest pub in the world exactly what a pub should be like

Meals are very good value belly draft was delicious thank you x

Excellent food excellent company and the girls are allowed..not the group our four legged ones cannot praise Ken and Mary enough they have made us feel like family

This is a clean friendly old country pub, we stayed in the village for 3 weeks and ate here every day, Ken & Mary made us feel welcome and had a fixed inexpensive menu with variable daily specials on offer, they have a variety of ales and your can join in the banter with the friendly locals, as we did!...I must say, I was somewhat bemused by an previous negative comment by BoundlessEnergy because we were here at the same time,and the pub is always clean, Ken or Mary always ask if your satisfied with your meal, so why not complain to them at the time?, but anyone that can describe chips as "insipid" should probably be dinning at a Michelin star restaurant …..

Disappointing visit. Very welcoming by Landlord. Limited menu and very cold. The white wine tasted as though it had been watered down, but hopefully it wasn't, but when the respective meals arrived they were all accompanied by insipid looking chips. The medium rare steak didn't meet with approval and all in all the place look as though it could do with a good clean. There are facilities to eat outside and I think that this would be the best place in warm weather. Regret we will not be returning.

We have eaten at The Crown a few times over the summer and tried a variety from the menu. The average price for a stonking good meal here is £7, which is extraordinary value, not including the lunch time specials for a fiver. Would not hesitate to recommend this place for simple, very tasty home cooked food and lots of it. Meals to definitely try are cod and chips, and crispy belly pork. The landlord and landlady are barman and cook respectively, and are a winning team.

A real old fashioned country pub in a lovely Shropshire village. The landlords, Ken & Mary are so friendly & welcoming. The beer alone is worth a visit & then the food. A comprehensive menu & surprisingly nowadays the food is all home made & cooked to your liking. Best value for miles & a pub where you're made welcome by the landlords & the locals.

We visited here 3 times during our stay in the village of 4 days. Ken and Mary made us feel at home and the food was amazing. Love your homemade chips Mary. Plenty of choice with food and beers will definitely see you both again.

A traditional friendly local pub . The sort of place where staff and customers are will chat with you when you sit down or stand at bar . Made to feel very welcome by everyone.

Home made chips ! Not a frozen one in sight .... lovely , wonderful welcoming and friendly landlord and landlady

Visited The Crown for lunch yesterday. This is a very old fashioned, down to earth public house serving excellent home cooked food, situated in the High Street of the beautiful village of Claverley. I would imagine the building is at least a couple hundred years old and it looks unaltered, although there is a decent sized car park at the rear. This is not a huge place but nonetheless there are three rooms with tables for eating or drinking, complete with quarry tiled floors and enormous floorboards.

See our previous reviews. However we visited on a Monday night in August and had the best braised beef we have ever tasted. Thank you Scary Mary and Ken.
