Fantastic home cooking in a super comfy pub with a very warm welcome. We called in for coffee and stayed for a lovely lunch by the roaring log burning stove. The landlady could not have done anymore to make us super welcome. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. We will make sure the crown is now our favorite pit stop on the way to the seaside

The crown is under new management and what a difference it has made, it is now clean and tidy homely and welcoming. The decor is pleasant, staff couldn’t be more helpful and the food is very good. We have eaten here three times in one week it is that good. Well worth a try.

My son is a wheelchair user and has been visiting the Crown, the only pub in our village , Glentham ,for over 20 yrs. The access through the front door is extremely poor so in the past he used to go in via the backdoor which is now permanently locked. On numerous occasions he has been told that the proprietors are' looking into' installing a ramp. However, this has always seemed like a vague ,non urgent promise so yesterday I raised the issue with the new landlady.She was not prepared to discuss this with me and stood at the other end of the bar drying glasses and ignoring me. when she did speak to me she said 'Your son's access is not my priority'.When I asked if he could use the backdoor she said she did not have a key, surely not an insurmountable problem.We left feeling hurt and humiliated and suggest people with mobility issues think twice before they visit The Crown. Ironically the entertainer yesterday had a visual disability,

Decent Pub with a normal Food Menu but not so sure about the 10% Service charge that they add to your bill for Pub grub. Looks like the Brewery has added this recently, I will be looking at other pubs and there are plenty to choose from that don't have a service charge. Money is precious these days after all. Nice Pub overall.

My wife and I had a lovely meal with our daughter and son in law. The Crown Inn is a nice place, clean and tidy with a good atmosphere. The staff were polite and friendly and showed us to our table The food was excellent. I had chicken and ham pie, which was delicious and my wife had sesame chicken strips with a dipping sauce. Daughter had the same and son in law had the fish and chips. Everyone commented on how nice it was. The portions were spot on but, unfortunately, left no room for pudding. Just the right amount of time between arriving, ordering and the food coming to have a drink and a chat. We'll definitely be returning.

First time visit, looking for somewhere to eat/drink whilst catching up With friends we had not seen in a while which was halfway’ish between where we each lived. Saw this place pop up on Facebook and it looked promising so we booked a mid day table for four and we were not disappointed. Firstly we found the pub very welcoming and cosy, and then found the menu offering an excellent choice of food. Additionally the real ale options was excellent. When the food was served up the plates were hot (always a good sign) and all looked really good. The pies were proper job type pies, the gammon very tasty, I had the fish and chips and can honestly say it was the best plate of fish and chips I have had in quite some time. Lovely light batter on the haddock Nd the fish itself was just beautiful. Very healthy portions, so much so we thought we may not have dessert. But, we let it settle and we all opted for a dessert each. Making the decision of which one to choose as was difficult as all sounded nice, I cannot speak for the others in our party but my Oreo and White Chocolate Cheese Cake was excellent. One thing for sure, we will be returning again.

When it comes to a pub Sunday lunch i automatically think of a massive plate of bland boiled potatoes, overcooked veg with a bit of meat & a token Yorkshire pudding. The Crown certainly proved me wrong. As a party of five for a family birthday lunch four of us went for beef with one chicken. Roast potatoes were crispy & fluffy, meat was beautiful along with a homemade large Yorkshire pudding. Lovely mix of perfectly cooked vegetables along with two sides of cauliflower cheese. Puddings were amazing. I’m a bit of a foodie so if a meal isn’t as good or better than something I can cook myself then for me it’s not worth eating there. For sure, I’d certainly eat at the Crown again. I’m pleased we booked as there was a constant stream of people coming in. Lovely friendly welcome from the manager & staff. On departing I enjoyed a little leg pulling & asked to speak to the manager. His face was a picture until I advised him that the meal was fantastic. Big compliments to the chef & staff for their excellent work & service.

Ventured out to The Crown Inn on a Monday evening with my partner and young child. On arrival welcome was great and we were given a choice of tables, the pub itself is lovely with a great sofa seating area too. Beer selection was excellent and the young lady behind the bar was extremely hospitable. Menu was surprisingly varied vs what we were expecting with some delicious options. After two fantastic starters and mains and a few more beers we were absolutely stuffed and fully satisfied from an excellent meal that was also good value for the quality also. A place we will definitely be revisiting!

While staying at a local campsite, we were pleased to find an establishment so close to our site. We booked for an evening meal and were plesantly surprised to find the Sunday Lunch menu was still available. My wife and I both opted for the Roast Beef. It was served professionally, within an acceptable time frame and the presentation was good, however, the initial attempt to cut the beef let the side down. Although the beef it's self was very tender and the roast potatoes nicely cooked, when eaten, trying to cut through either with a knife edge that may well have had trouble cutting butter, ruined what otherwise was a very enjoyable and favourably priced meal.

As a regular to the Crown I am always happy to see the reaction of friends and family we invite along. Today was a family Easter meal, 6 adults, 3 children, 9 clean plates! The sunday carvery is delicious with a range of meats, gorgeous roasts, stuffing balls that are the tastiest youll have had, loads of veggie choice, and a choice of sauces. My daughter who isn't much of a Sunday luncher who said she would come every week for this one! Desserts of Bailey's cheesecake, or white choc cheesecake, fruit tarts, choc fudge cake, syrup sponges..... or the best flavoured ice creams.... I think our choice was nearly one of everything between us. My family love a get together at the Crown as you can be guaranteed excellent homemade foods at a great price, great service and a warm and friendly atmosphere. I have many friends who now drive over 20 miles to eat here.... spot on again. Congrats to all the team.

We visited the Crown Inn with friends, who live locally, for an evening meal. It is an old pub. With beams and a couple of roaring log fires. The staff were really friendly and helpful, the food was delicious and piping hot and served with a smile. The menu was not extensive but very adequate and tasty. It is apparently a dog friendly pub but you need to ring and book if you are taking a dog with you(01673 878294). There didn't seem to be any steps, just a slightly raised threshold, but the car park is a bit bumpy and has loose soil and pot holes if you are using a wheelchair.All in all, a lovely country pub, and well worth a visit.9

We were visiting family in tge area and they suggested we go to the Crown for lunch. Really glad we went. It was early afternoon and very quiet which can often lead you to wonder how the food will turn out. However we had nothing to worry about, all of the meals we ordered were excellent, some of the best eating we have had in ages. My wife chose veggie which can often be quite dodgy because the person cooking has no idea what constitutes a good veggie meal, Not a problem here, it was the best veggie dish she has had outside a dedicated veggie restraunt. The portions were huge and by the time we were done we were well and truly stuffed. The young lady serving us was very friendly and helpful. There were some good beers, I tried the Wobbly Wherewolf, a beer I guess that had been brewed for halloween. We will definitely eat there again at our next visit.

We were en route home from a walk in a Lincoln country park and decided to eat somewhere. We do not know Lincolnshire that well so it was by chance that we happened upon the Crown. A big car park so easy to park. The exterior was not pretty but the place looked fine. We are glad that we went in because the welcome was friendly and the service was excellent. The interior was mainly quite rustic with the addition of Chesterfields and tub chairs for comfortable lounging. The landlady allowed me to taste a couple of beers before I ordered. There were a couple of things not available from the menu due to a run on food because of the recent Lincolnshire Show. There was plenty of choice. The food was excellently cooked and ample portions. Help was given ( and a phone call made) re opening times of nearby aircraft museums- very thoughtful & helpful. I have just read the other reviews and it is not surprising that most are excellent. Owners like this deserve to succeed and they will based on our experience.

Saturday night booking for a table of 4 - checks were made on the Gluten Free options available. Pork medallions were overcooked and a bit dry, which was disappointing; chicken was slightly overdone but the sauce [in separate dish] was tastey and the generous portion of chips was well cooked! Dessert of baileys cheesecake was delicious. The fire was on and warmed the room nicely, as it was a cool evening. Staff were very friendly and obliging. All in all for less than £55 for 4 of us, including drinks, it was an ok meal. I just wonder if there was a cook in the kitchen, rather than a chef as the board outside advised "chef wanted". Meal was basic and ok.

I had Brie bites for starter and they were amazing. The sausage and mash was beautiful. The others had steak, which was really tender. They all raved about the peppercorn sauce saying it was the best they had ever tasted. Staff were great and bought out my sons cake for him. I would definitely go again

Went in here after having a meal elsewhere with friends. We found the laid back seating very cosy and didn't want to leave into the cold night. Friends told us that they do good food here although we did not eat there.

For a Sunday lunch, we thought the meal was overpriced. Average meal, but was abit disappointing. The meal was plated up and served. It would have been nicer if the vegetables had been put on the table so we could have taken what we wanted. Also it would have been nice to have extra gravy on the table. Waited about 20 mins for the sweet which was ok , but small with very little sauce. Staff were very pleasant, but very cramped table wise.

We booked a table for 5 people for 7.00pm to celebrate a 70th birthday. We ordered drinks and food, and waited, and waited and waited....... a party of 8 arrived and ordered their meals and their starters arrived shortly afterwards. We asked the waitress when we could expect our food. She went into the kitchen to find out and returned to tell us that the till had been switched off by accident and our order had not been placed!. We ordered again and had to wait an extra 30 minutes for our food to arrive. The landlady had been sat at a table with other customers and could clearly see our table from where she was sat yet did not question why we were still waiting for our meals to arrive. Her husband came over to apologise and offered us free tea/coffee. The last time we visited this pub we had to wait almost 2 hours for our food and we cannot believe that this happened again!

Visited The Crown Inn on the way back from our son rugby match any in Rasen. We were soaked due to heavy showers early morning: the place was most welcoming, with open fire on, smiley and accomodating staff. We ordered Sunday roast and pudding: beef was moist and tender, roasted tatties perfectly crunchy, generous selection of veggies, home made gravy.

We visit from time to time for a drink and dinner. It's what you'd expect - good beer, nice selection of wines and spirits, and honest pub grub. Nothing earth shattering but perfectly fine for a night out.

It is a pity we were not a bit later and we could have tried the lunch menu as it looked very good, while we were there the phone rang several times with bookings and the landlady and her staff were very friendly. This is a lovely old fashioned pub and very clean. If in the area I would make a b-line for this place to try out the food.

Having passed a few times kept noticing there were always plenty of cars in car park so decided to stop off for Sunday lunch. So glad we did! All staff were friendly and welcoming. Service was good and not rushed. Choice of three meats. Fresh vegetables. Dish of crackling to help your self. Really chilled comfy atmosphere. Nice clean pub. Definitely worth popping in if you're in the area.

We are looking to buy a property in this area and decided to pop in to check it out ....... Dog friendly being high on our list. It is not only dog friendly but person friendly too! We didn't eat there so cannot comment on the food but the atmosphere was warm and cosy. Will definitely be our 'local' if we move to that area.

Came here for a Mothers Day carvery lunch and really enjoyed it. All of the meats were very well cooked as were the accompanying vegetables. Warm, friendly atmosphere and all at a good price. What's not to like?

I revisited this pub again for Sunday lunch a couple of weeks ago. I originally visited in June and gave a good review of the Sunday lunch with a minor criticism that there was no crackling with the pork. Pleased to report on my recent visit there was a bowl of crackling available for those of us who like a bit of crunch with their dinner - and the Sunday lunch was just as good as last time!

Visit this part of Lincolnshire regularly but have struggled to find a good pub for lunch .... not anymore. The Crown Inn has got it all. Great menu, superb beers and super friendly staff. Apparently The Crown was used by many airman based in the area hence lots of pictures of WW11 aircraft. This is my kind of pub ! Will absolutely most definitely be back (got to try the Chilli Pork with Rice next time) it's a gem of a place.

We visited The Crown Inn one Sunday a couple of weeks ago. I opted for the carvery and the 2 family members with me chose from the main menu. The carvery was one of the best Sunday lunches I have had for a long while - special mention to the extra creamy mashed potatoes and flavoursome swede. The carvery set up was a little less professional than some, with the servery in the corner of the pool room and sauces laid out on the pool table, but was adequate for what was needed. There was a short wait as more meat and veg had to be brought out. The lady carving the meat gave generous slices and commented several times how nice the fat would be if put back into the oven to crisp up and turn into crackling - shame we didn't get any crackling as it is my favourite part of the meal! Despite these minor criticisms the meal was excellent with all the veg having plenty of taste. We ordered tea with the meal and it came in a huge proper tea pot - not one of those annoying little metal pots that dribble everywhere. Service was good and the surroundings pleasant. I would be very happy to eat here again.

Went for our work night out and could not have been happier, we had the reserved seating upstairs which was lovely and private! The buffet they provided us was amazing and the cocktails even better, the staff that helped us out (grace, emily, kirsty, stacey) were so nice and even with it being super busy downstairs they didnt make us feel forgotten. Could not recommend more!!

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Perfect Wedding Reception Venue!! Me and my now husband Steve had our wedding reception here, and it was just absolutely perfect. Jenny & Lol we’re fantastic hosts - they had set up a lovely private room, which was decorated beautifully. We paid for a buffet which they provided and it was outstanding!. There was a wide variety and plenty of food which catered for everyone, Jenny & Lol even went above and beyond and catered for a celiac. A friendly, cosy pub perfect for special gatherings or occasions. Would 100 percent recommend! Thanks again Jenny & Lol. Sophie & Steve!
