The Crown Inn in Waverley

Fabulous pub, great service and so welcoming to a large group (16 adults). We prebooked a few weeks in advance (with no deposit despite previous comments) as we knew other pubs would struggle to accommodate us. When we arrived, the staff couldn't have done any more for us; we were welcomed warmly, served promptly and had utterly delicious food. We will definitely return, and it was a truly wonderful place to idle away a Sunday afternoon in such a comfortable, beautiful venue. Thanks to all the staff, very much appreciated!

Beautiful inside and Delicious food!!! However was let down at the end with management arguing that the deposit we had paid weeks in advance was non refundable and not taken off the bill. I have never had to pay an admission fee to a pub/restaurant!! Anyway after a very long wait to get it sorted and management seemingly trying to see if we would give up they took the deposit off the bill. 2 other tables were arguing the same thing. Lovely pub but check your bill at the end to make sure you get your deposit back. A deposit is refundable / an initial first payment towards the bill

A lovely old pub and the food and serving staff were wonderful. The very big issue we found was that we had to pay £10 deposit per person (there were 6 of us so they had £60 off us), then when the bill came this hadn't been taken into account. The manageress explained that it is in fact a booking fee (even though it very clearly states online that it's a deposit), as they've had a lot of people previously who hadn't turned up after booking tables. We said fair enough to have a deposit to secure a booking, but as its a deposit it should then be removed from the bill. It took a very long time and a lot of discussion with the manageress but eventually she agreed and it was taken off. Just be very careful to make sure any deposit you pay is removed from the bill. Such a shame as the atmosphere, food and waiting staff were all wonderful.

Ok so this is not a critique on the food as that was delightful! Compliments to the chefs. And the building is beautiful. I am giving a 1 star because the management tried to claim the £60 deposit was a booking fee and wouldn’t be taken off the bill, we were not the only people for this to happen to, as it seems at the time there was another couple complaining about the same thing. If we hadn’t of questioned it, or noticed they would have succeeded in conning us out of the deposit. And as it states under booking online it’s a (DEPOSIT) not (Booking Fee). This was not easily resolved either as they kept saying it was the fee, it was a battle to say the least!!!! Never have I payed admission for a restaurant and never will.

This is a terrible place to go as the food was not nice and the staff are very rude didn’t do anything to help would definitely not recommend to anyone

Most importantly, the food we were served was delicious, and every member of staff was really lovely to us - except for one woman who made it perfectly clear our presence was not appreciated. The old lady who tried to take my mother's plate away while she was still eating was extremely rude; looking down her nose, sniffing and sneering at us. If your organisation is supposed to be refined, then she desperately needs to brush up on her ettiquette and manners. I made it perfectly clear on my booking that we would be bringing two dogs with us - so why did the manager not inform me that in fact 'The Crown in Chiddingfold' is actually quite hostile, and definitely not a dog friendly establishment? There are plenty of places that I can take my anxious foster dogs without any aggravation, in fact the staff as well as the customers in most pubs love to meet them and hear their sad little tale. No one even bothered to ask what the problem was in The Crown, they just complained about Bobby whimpering, which says an awful lot about the place really. I have never been made to feel so unwelcome or unwanted anywhere before in my life as I was on Sunday. The fact it was a very special occasion for us, and I was paying a small fortune to be treated so disrespectfully, is actually quite appalling. Safe to say we will not be returning, and neither will I ever recommend this pub to any of my associates. I feel extremely sorry for the lovely young ladies who still had to serve us during our meal, it was as embarrassing for them as it was for us. I actually dread to think how young children are treated here - do you move them out to the back room if they play up and 'other customers' kick up a fuss about it? (The fact I did not see any children or other dogs for the entire 3 hours we were there tells its own story.)

Unwelcome, almost rude vibe. Unless you’re a local, it appears this place is not for you. Food service stopped early as well (on Sunday). However , every cloud has a silver lining, we were directed to the Swan next door which was excellent , friendly and now the place of choice ….

Thank you again for a fantastic Sunday roast, perfectly cooked sirloin of beef with huge Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes and a gravy to die for then you add in creamed leeks with bowls of vegetables, See you next week.

Beautiful old Inn with great ambiance and architecture, friendly and helpful staff, fantastic food, spoilt for choice and very dog friendly. Pity I live so far away otherwise would visit more frequently. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

We had a lovely bank holiday Sunday afternoon supper here. There was music, including a Tina Turner set, and a great waitress. The food was amazing. I had the chicken risotto followed by the Lemon Posset (the t isn’t silent!), Both were absolutely delicious and I would definitely recommend this place to future diners.

Fantastic pub with beautiful oak panelled restaurant. Very welcoming staff who could not so enough for us for our friend's birthday. Will be back!

Great experience at The Crown today. Food was fabulous and all staff really friendly. Roast lamb was perfect! What was so great, apart from the food, atmosphere and staff, was the relaxed atmosphere. We never felt rushed although they were busy. Highly recommend.

We had booked a table for dinner with friends we hadn’t seen for some time. Unfortunately when we arrived a jazz trio was playing right in front of our table. Now we love jazz but we were there to catch up and natter and this would have been almost impossible, Hearing our plight, the owner (I’m guessing) moved heaven and earth to find a table suitable for us. She just couldn’t have been more helpful. The service was as expected, with a smile and courtesy and the food truly delightful. Our evening was saved, we managed to chat for almost 3 hours ! This is our go to pub / restaurant to meet up with these friends, each only having to drive for an hour to get there, and it’s so worth it.

We booked this last minute on our way through the village Got a table in the main restaurant for Sunday lunch and what a fantastic find. The inside of the building was amazing - reminded me of the Mermaid Inn in Rye. The food was amazing - very friendly and professional service from staff

I had a colleague visiting from overseas and wanted to him to experience a traditional English pub. The Crown is a shining example of this and he was bowled over by it. The welcome, the service, the food, the wine and all the staff are all top class… We shared a few nibbles to start - the honey and mustard sausages are a must. Then we both had the Moroccan chicken main course, which was delicious. To wash it down there is a great selection of local and international ales, lagers and cider, or a diverse wine list. It was a really great experience all round and a great way to showcase the best of English villages and pub hospitality. Thanks for looking after us so well….

A great meal had with good friends after the lockdowns of 2021. Staff were friendly and the food was great. They were nervous times but we felt safe. Love this place!

Popped In for a quick bite to eat on the way to the south coast....also had a glass of wine obviously. Decided to go for the grilled lamb rump on a flat bread topped with Greek salad with feta cheese.....it was delicious and filling with defiantly be back.

We spent a wonderful Saturday evening at the Crown, lovely starter to share, I had the moules frites and my partner chose the steak/salsa verde. Both were beautifully cooked and presented. Finished off with a dessert to share. Cosy, relaxed bar/restaurant, great front of house service from Ciara! Highly recommend for good food and fun times with friends & family. We will return again very soon!

We stayed here for one night and regretted it..... That we didn't stay for two!!! 😉 The hotel is lovley and all the staff are very welcoming. We stayed in the Kings Suite which was lovley, the lounge area in the suite really makes a lovley getway. We ate in the restaurant that night and enjoyed a lovley meal, we couldn't fault it. Just wish we had the time to stay another night.....😪 We shall return again soon! Thank you!! x

The Crown features in a new publication from Camra, pubs with historic interiors in the south of England and you can see why. From the lovely old beams, the panelled dining room, the sedan chair in the hallway, the large inglenook fire which was lit when we visited and the lovely old bar. These days you really need to book but they let us have a table. As we just wanted a drink and its future occupants were yet to arrive. The beer is great, the staff helpful, the ambience lively and all Covid measures in place. If you find yourself in Chiddingfold, they are somehow lucky enough to have two great pubs almost nest to each other.

Lovely Sunday lunch, very tasty and excellent service. Nice setting and village. Had the pork and sticky toffee pud. Partner had the lamb.

Very low quality burger & chips + scampi & chips - something you would expect to have been served in the 70's or 80's - burger was a processed lump and scampi was more batter than scampi and then what there was indifferent

Very poor. Ordered takeaway well in adance 2 takeaways; fish and chips, and scampi and chips. Was given a specific time to collect. Terrible quality and was cold, Beware, they do not do good takeaway, The food is nothing like the pub food pre-Covid. Scampi soggy and cold, chips stale and cold. Terrible.

We had a wonderful evening celebrating a 21st birthday. We arrived really early but were still accommodated. The service was excellent, food delicious. Interesting to hear some of the history of the Crown Inn also.

Good food for four but spoiled by having to complain that food was served on cold plates and the veg was almost cold. Accompanying pies in dishes were hot however. Second try not much better. with plates and veg still not hot . Apologies were given.....and lunch was kindly without charge.....But this should never happen.as it was not an enjoyable experience for us to have to complain and was certainly not good for their business. Not our first visit and we will visit again. as this is a great pub.

Very busy, only to be expected. Tables nicely laid. The food and service were no more than okay and at £82.50 per head, I would have expected better than okay. The bar staff were not the friendliest bunch but coped with our requests, no doubt the large gratuity added to each bill inspired them on! Enjoyable because I was with family but not an experience I would repeat.

Amazing room four poster bed , beams and sloped floor great fun. It to be honest would only want 1 night here as bed is very small and quite hard and the noise from the road is constant . Pub was great and food fabulous so will return

We came in for an afternoon drink on New Year’s Eve. The male barman could not have been less welcoming if he tried. In addition, the bar was poorly stocked. They had run out of Diet Coke and no apology was offered for this. Such a shame as it is such a beautiful place. The staff do not match the majesty of the establishment.

For weeks, I’d been looking forward to a Christmas lunch with friends. We’d chosen each of our courses a month before the day so, at the time of booking the table, The Crown knew what would be needed.I chose a starter of Prawn Cocktail – which was delicious. My main course was Turkey with all the usual accompaniments – superb. My and my companion’s desserts were Cheese and Port – oh dear! There was no port available because The Crown had run out. I could have said something assertive at the time but didn’t want to cause a fuss. We accepted sherry as a ‘replacement’ for the port. How could The Crown have run out of something that had been ordered a month previously?Check the day before you go to see that what you want is available. In hindsight, when I think about it, I could have asked for a different dessert but the option wasn’t forthcoming from the staff.This Christmas lunch cost £27.50.

Lovely pub and location but would not recommend the restaurant at all. £7.50 for a 'prawn cocktail' that consisted of four or five prawns, a teaspoon of sauce and a bowl full of lettuce ... complete rip-off. Sent it back, telling them I was disappointed and would like more prawns and sauce, but just got another one exactly the same :( someone needs a lesson in how to make a proper prawn cocktail. Duck was as dry as a bone, beer battered cod was pretty average, and chips were cheap, frozen French fries. Very expensive for below average pub grub... And just can't get over how dire my prawn cocktail was!

This is stereotypically terrible British pub food. I cannot use the word cuisine because that would be giving it undue credit. The price of the food does not match the cooking.The food that we had was overpriced and absolutely diabolical. The beefburger was like a rubber puck. The prawn tempura must’ve been rapidly defrosted from straight from the bag by bag bought at the local wholesaler.Even cheap ingredients to make nice food if you know how to cook what is clear is that the cook the kitchen didn’t know how - I don’t want to use the word chef because that is insulting good professional chefs out there.The person who cooked the food clearly had not had proper training from the culinary industry.It’s a shame that the food was so bad because the pub itself was very cosy and quaint a proper old fashioned english pub.After you read this if you don’t believe me try it for yourself.Quick Jay Rayner some material for your next review awaits you here.

The Crown is a fine historic building in a lovely village setting. I hadn't been there for thirty years or so and we decided to give a try for Sunday lunch for seven of us. The restaurant was very busy but not uncomfortably so. The menu was adequate rarher than inspiring. However the main courses we chose of roast beef and roast lamb respectively were well prepared and enjoyable. Service was friendly and efficient albeit a little slow. That would have rather annoying on a weekday but not an issue for us at the weekend. Overall it was good value for money (the main courses were about £18) and we may well book again.

Beautiful place. Friendly, with excellent service and for my £7.50 sandwich, I salivated over two slices of sliced bread, spread unevenly with marge, A dainty bite of the curling crust, I was able to luxuriate over a generous dollop of this amber nectar substance I rarely have the privilege of eating. My tongue finally discovered the smoked salmon - served - on the rocks. The twenty bistro lettuce accompanying the dish, with an un-identified dressing, completed my gastronomic experience for the afternoon. The last time I visited this pub, several years ago, it was no different. I would live in this place if the food could just improve. Please ...

This was a test lunch in advance of a large party possible booking. The chicken Kiev was dry, the plaice was extremely small and I would say averaged 3 mouthfuls of fish, the liver and bacon - part of it was very floury (like pate). Overall very disappointing

Went here with friends for " The flip a coin Friday", which you have to book for. Didn't win but had a lovely evening and a fantastic meal. Started with all sort of shared starters which were all very nice. My husband then had the fish and chips and was very happy. I shared a whole duck with a friend and we thoroughly enjoyed it and the rest of the party had differnt duck or chicken dishes, all very happy with their choises. The staff were attentive and friendly and the surroundings lovely. Parking can be tricky on a Friday night especially as it was raining, but there are spaces around the green if the spaces in front of the Pub is taken.

The pub is beautiful, historic and friendly. The staff were lovely, the atmosphere relaxing and the drinks very nice. After such a lovely drink in the bar we ate in the restaurant, which was disappointing. The staff were great, but the food basic and expensive for what you got. The steak was fatty and gristly with very basic accompaniments, which for over £20, wasn't worth it. The pie was lovely but again the accompaniments disappointing both a tiny potato and veg portion on the side. The cooking was skilled, but the quality of food and effort in to the presentation and dish variety/offer leaves a lot to be desired for the price. We left hungry with no desire to get puddings after such disappointing mains. I'm rarely this underwhelmed but the food needs to match the excellence running through the rest of this pub.

This is a wonderful building with a very pleasing interior. We met friends there for Sunday lunch and the food was OK without being particularly special. The two men in our group were both keen real ale drinkers and between us we tried three different beers from the hand pumps. None of them was very pleasant and tasted of hotel standard stuff not looked after by a caring cellar-man. Definitely not our idea of real ale.

Stayed here whilst visiting Goodwood.

So it’s pub food. But good pub food, and priced accordingly. It’s very reasonable. The pub has loads of character and is in a typical English village setting, overlooking the green and the church. Pub is one of the oldest in the country!

Stopped over for a burger which had been recommended and let’s just say it was worth the stop. Juicy and very tasty, staff were great and the tiered garden is an ideal place to eat.

Didn’t fancy cooking so popped in for excellent fish and chips and the pie of the day. It was all cooked perfectly and the portions were a good size. Bar and waiting staff all very friendly and helpful in choosing beer/wine.

We used to come here frequently, sadly it really has gone downhill over the last months. The menu had always been somewhat limited, but the quality of the food has declined to the sometimes inedible and the service is now slow, disorganised and unfriendly.

Made an unscheduled stop here after visiting friends down south. Friendly staff made it a pleasurable early evening meal. Tasty food - fish and chips and the pie of the day. Shout out to Max and the female waitress for making us (as non-locals) feel welcome.

A picturesque building on the village green with a beamed interior with stained glass windows. Much to like.

The service was nice with a helpful staff member, and the old building was kept nicely in character. I felt it was a bit run down and could have benefited from refreshing the furniture, but it was clean enough.

We haven’t stayed here but we had an evening meal. Visiting Surrey I suppose we felt everything would be spot on! However while the staff were really friendly and welcoming the food was only average. Pretty place with character but I’ve had better food!

We love it here. It’s such a lovely place for a quick drink, bite to eat or stay overnight. Whenever we are passing we always drop in. Very popular place.

We stayed one night in The Elizabeth room. A hotel steeped in history and a room oozing with character: A comfortable four poster bed with wood carved panels, wonky floors, big wooden doors, leaded windows facing the church, exposed beams yet all modern amenities, with sky TV, WiFi and shower over a big bath.

The Crown Inn was a welcome stop after a longish walk today. Good service at the bar, great beers and friendly, helpful service at our table was a good start. The beer battered cod was excellent.

It was really really nice,good & fun. You can have a full English breakfast.YUMMY! It’s a very friendly atmosphere and full of locals.

We were attending a wedding and our son stayed there for one night Next day we were there for a late lunch which we enjoyed very much The atmosphere and service was great even though they were very busy Would recommend staying and dining there

Wir sind regelmäßig dort. Die Atmosphäre im Restaurant und im Hotel generell ist wunderbar! Kein Vergleich zu anderen Pubs im Ort. Das Essensangebot kommt da leider nichts mit und sollte unbedingt verbessert werden. Wir hatten zum Beispiel die Hamburger, die uninspiriert und deutlich zu hart waren. Der Besuch im benachbarten Swann Inn hat gezeigt, dass es auch besser geht.

I came for a family luncheon, hoping that the opulent, cosy atmosphere would be reflected in the food. Among our orders were scampi & chips, and the vegan Shepard’s pie.

The building and amazing historic frontage and interiors impress but it could be exceptional with a bit of investment and flair to make the very best of such a wonderful location. Bit cleaner, a bit of sympathetic refurbishment to do justice to the history. For example , Ditch the faux painting in one room so 1960s. Upgrade the food and tatty physical menus and haphazard bar area. Tidy up corridors. People do notice.

Steeped in History, a must for impressing anyone from the US - they can't quite believe the layers of history we all take for granted.

We found this place just by luck. But what a find it is, the setting is very pretty and the pub itself had a lovely seating area outside round the back as well as at the front of the pub. The pub was fairly busy and we hadn't booked but the staff couldn't do enough for us. We both had roast Pork which was huge and delicious really hit the spot. Great traditional pub in a very pretty village. Just lovely.

My partner and I had cod and chips with mushy peas, and homemade steak and mushroom pie, accompanied by smooth creamed potatoes and just-cooked peas and long beans - both excellent rendition! Our terrier dog agreed.

Set on the village green this Tudor style inn is the perfect lunchtime venue. Internally the pub combines modern and traditional seamlessly. Seated outside in the summer sun is a perfect way to enjoy their good wine list and excellent food at competitive prices.

We joined our friends for drinks in the bar. There was a good selection of beers and nice surroundings. Our friends stayed here and we wished we had too!

Great country pub with good food menu. We only stopped for a drink so can't comment on the food. Good character building with nooks and crannies, courtyard and beer garden. We'll worth a stop on the way to the coast, or on the way back home.

It looks very posh, indeed it is very posh and a wonderful building. So what would they make of our family party of 4 under 6 es and 5 adults? Just a wonderful welcome and not a trace of snootiness. And the food divine especially my dirty burger. Hats off to the team for the fab food and welcome.

Amazing building that has loads of history. Friendly staff and good beer. We both had the lamb salad. Which was a great decision.

We ate here 2 nights running whilst staying at a hotel nearby. The food was lovely and the service was excellent. Staff were warm and friendly. The smoked salmon and avocado salad was delicious. Have now eaten here 3 times in total and would be very happy to eat here again.

I decided to have Fish Chips & Peas for my evening meal & the portion was huge . So huge that i couldn't eat it all ,the fish was massive & i had a really large portion of skinny fries that i love but still despite my best efforts and extra wine i could not finish but it was delicious .

We stopped off at The Crown Inn following a day out at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. We each had a couple of drinks as well as a few portions of chips while sat outside on the front terrace overlooking the village green. The atmosphere of the building and area was perfect and all the staff were extremely attentive and friendly and the drinks and food were prepared well. The prices were reasonable compared with other places in the area.

Were here on Sunday 16 July for evening meal.

My friend and I had been to #goodwoodfos on Saturday 14th July & on homeward journey looking for place to eat. Looking for places to eat (late on a Saturday evening) we found The Crown Inn.

Nice outside terrace overlooking the green and road; good for watching the world go by. Pub looked nice enough inside but really dark. Be good on a winters night with a fire.

Great character and lots of history. Good stock of whiskies in the bar.

We all had ( four of us) the "offer " of "Fizz and Chips" a glass of prosecco each and a platter to share between two of a fish selection. The chips were excellent together with a superb array of cod, whitebait and scampi. All for about £25.00 for two. Yum

I recently visited The Crown for a few drinks and food with some friends, Beautiful pub with amazing food and great staff... so I was told! We were originally served by a young girl with glasses (im awful with names), such a polite and funny girl! We stayed to have a few drinks after our meal and a girl named Georgia served us.... 2 words spring to mind: disinterested and impolite!! Hospitality is a feeling and she definitely DID NOT have it.

We have used The Crown for years, another that has had it`s up`s and down`s.The staff are friendly and we love the ambience of the place.

A lovely pub nestled in a lovely village, very nice room with four poster, great food served in the evening, a lovely breakfast, I stayed in room 16, it picks up some noise from the bar, but you soon forget about that,

We stopped there for lunch looking for something cozy and nice, and The Crown is exactly this. Parking was adequate, but if possible make a reservation.

Great old building where nothing is straight and floor creaks! Busy place , only had drinks but food looked very good . Pleasant barman and nice atmosphere. Way too warm although sunshine caught everyone out I think , time to turn down the heating !

This is a lovely place to stay and eat the room was warm and welcoming, a nice bathroom and a lovely bed. The bar and restaurant are very welcoming and it is frequented by a lot of local people which is very nice as they were all friendly, the people there were mostly 30 plus with very few youngsters.

I was lucky enough to arrive earlier than I anticipated in this beautiful town. Parking was plentiful and you sensed you were in an area where your car was safe. The staff were welcoming and whilst my room (21) was small and miles from the reception, it was clean and the en-suite bathroom was absolutely immaculate, large, and had one of the best showers I have ever seen. The TV took a bit of getting used to (confusing controls) but to be fair by the time I'd put it on I'd already been down to the bar for a few vino tintos and a very tasty fish and chip meal. Would also mention that the breakfast of smoked salmon and scrambled egg was excellent. Would I stay again?, Yes, without question.

My wife and I decided to book a table at The Crown Inn to celebrate our anniversary. I have not been there before and what a lovely surprise - a real gem. We booked a table and took out time to review the menu whilst we had a couple of drinks.

I visited the Crown Inn as I had to stay overnight for a business trip, this lovely inn is so sweet and quaint, kept to such a high standard and extremely comfortable and clean. The location is fabulous as are the staff who really go the extra mile.

Another very good Sunday lunch at the Crown. It must be the best in Surrey.

Just had a great meal consisting of light and crunchy tempura vegetables which were better than Marcus Wareings at the Berkeley. Delicious pink lamb rump from Loxwood with a great crispy pomme Anna (thinly sliced cooked in butter) and finished on frozen yoghurt and berries.

We stopped for a late lunch after a long walk in Petworth Park. It was busy but the staff were so nice and helpful and found us a great table! No trouble nothing was too much effort. I had the roast beef... i was slightly concerned after i ordered it that being so late.. the best meat was probably gone. NOT AT ALL!

I love The Crown, it is our local and all the staff are really welcoming and friendly. The food is also great with good value options for the kids. Drinks are pricey but seems to be way round these parts!

Hadn't been for a while - but up to expectations. The food was good but the burger was served in a cheap soft bap!

We booked a table in the restaurant for my mums Birthday. Good Sunday menu and friendly service. Food was hot and fresh and very tasty. Good sized portions. The pub is very clean and the toilets were also very clean. We will definitely return. Thank you Crown Inn

Lovely Saturday lunch: three generations: fifteen people and two dogs. Comfortably settled in a lovely space around one huge table. The varied menu offered something for everyone: personally I would recommend the pork belly and the plate of mixed nibbles to share was great too. Fish and chips were excellent and you need to be hungry as the portions are very generous. The staff could not have been nicer or more patient with us all. It's a beautiful Inn warmly recommended.

We were with a large group for a pre wedding dinner , it was a set menu of fish and chips , the waiters and waitresses were very attentive and the fish and chips were really good, the décor of the hotel was very historic and rustic

As soon as you enter the Pub, you get a sense of how old and historical this place is. In the entrance hall, you can see a beautifully decorated 1760 sedan chair, one of only two in England.

We stayed for two nights at the hotel as part of a wedding party at nearby Ramster Hall. The room was comfortable, breakfast was excellent and service was first class.

Having had lunch here several times in this superb pub/hotel, we were determined to stay and eat dinner here despite not living that far away. We were not disappointed: the place is spacious, loads of character, food and wine were good with knowledgeable staff and although the pub is very grand the evening crowd was surprisingly very local. The dining room, which we practically had to ourselves (most diners preferring the more informal bar area) is a feast for the eyes with plastered ceiling and stained glass windows; you can admire again in the morning with a very good breakfast. My only regret was not staying in one of the Tudor rooms which although very expensive for a rural location had much more atmosphere than the rather small "superior doubles" which at £120 was a bit eye-watering-so suggest waiting for a deal on one of the hotel or other websites. Anyway great time was had and we are already saving up for a stay in more ancient rooms.

We arranged to meet parents early on a Friday evening for drinks.

The Crown is a very old Inn so it is little surprise that it is blessed with a cosy ambience. This cosiness is enhanced by the comfortable traditional furniture, heavy drape curtains and a delicious open fire place. The Inn cleverly offers a seemless mix of a bar that sells good quality food and a restaurant; in addition there is another bar at the far end of the building which is largely populated by 'locals' and is a fun place to be when there is an International sports event on TV. Since the menu is not a mile long, as is the case in far too many venues, it seems likely that the food is fresh rather than deep frozen. In fine weather it is possible to sit on the verandah that overlooks the beautiful village church and green. Dog owners will be pleased to know that their animals are welcomed except in the main restaurant. In all the Inn offers a warming experience.

Absolutely disgusting paid for a four bedroom family suite to get two disgusting z beds for my children one of which collapsed lucky to say it did the mattress looked like it was dragged out of a skip we complain to get im

What better place to enjoy a light snack lunch with open fire, friendly attentive staff and good lager. A real 'pub' atmosphere too. An historic building, oak-beamed and full of detail. Gorgeous.

It had been 34 years since I last visited here. As I was unexpectedly in Sussex, I decided to make a detour en route back to the Cotswolds. It was worth the detour and worth getting back home late for.

Very pleasant, comfortable restaurant with stained glass windows, panelled walls and comfortable chairs. A reasonably diverse menu, but most importantly well cooked , well presented tasty food. Very friendly knowledgeable staff. It's not a complaint, maybe it's an accolade, but during the meal the staff didn't pay us much attention and didn't seem to notice when we were finished. Maybe they were busy in another room. i repeat - not complaining we were left to our own devices with uninterrupted conversation.

Lovely setting. But...... Overpriced, poor service, awful food and didn’t want to know when I complained about my bottle of white wine being warm! Chefs trousers were SO filthy I wanted to be sick. Never again!!

This was my first time at the Crown, and you can't beat the beautiful location. The food is very straightforward pub grub, slightly expensive for this but generous portions. I had a delicious burger, and my companion was very pleased with her scampi. We shared the honey and mustard glazed sausages to start, which were also yummy! Waitresses very sweet and cheerful, if somewhat vague.

Bellissimo pub che ti porta in un'altra epoca. Interni raffinati, cibo e bevande di alta qualità e servizio impeccabile. Se mai dovessi ripassare dalle parti di Chiddingford ci tornerò certamente. Consigliatissimo.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch sitting outside this wonderful old inn. A historic building set on a pretty village green opposite the church. The only downside was looking out on quite a few cars. Lunch was very good; I thought the hot smoked salmon salad was tasty and nicely presented.
