The Crown Inn Restaurant in Bromley - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Always a warm welcome in the restaurant. Good menu choices. Food tasty, hot and fresh. Plus plenty of it! Attentive service but not overbearing attention.

Haven’t been to The Crown since it was refurbished. Booked a family Sunday lunch for 6 adults and 2 children to celebrate a birthday. Food was outstanding. Although a limited starter menu 3 of us opted for the walnut and mushroom pate. Not a great pate lover but didn’t fancy anything else. Needn’t have worried - the pate was delicious. Same goes for the roast beef - good quality, thickly cut and generous portions. Everyone else also really enjoyed their food. Service was excellent - especially the guy from Romania who had only worked there for 2 weeks (Sorry - didn’t get your name).

Had a great evening with there new quiz , every Tuesday from 7, good beer Lots off banter and a great host for the event Many thanks 👍

Very poor service, great deal of waiting around no cutlery no coffee at 9.55pm waiting again to pay the bill, shame as the food was good. Training needed

We visited today as a group of 9 and had a really enjoyable visit. The surroundings were very modern and lovely, the staff welcoming and a good space for us to relax and catch up. The food was really tasty -several had roasts (my pork was lovely), a couple had the pie and the children ate from the children’s menu. A bit of a delay for desserts to come out but staff apologised and they were rushed off their feet on a busy Sunday afternoon a week before Christmas. It was nice to have staff interacting with our group and not something you get everywhere. It seems to be a local gem and I am sure we will return.

I have been going to The Crown for the past 6 months especially after the re-furb and wanted a venue to celebrate my mothers passing. We thought The Crown would be the ideal location for a family get together. Unfortunately we were wrong. The starters were brought out out after other guests had already finished theres. When it did come out it was cold and had to be sent back. .we ordered bacon on our burgers. For £1.50 we got a single rasher that had been cremated. We did complain and a few rashers did arrive 10 minutes later. In all our opinilns the food was totally over priced and certainly not value for money. We wont be going back there in a hurry. May be we will try The Bull or the Tigers Head next time

Brilliant service from Mario the Manager. Walked in at 5pm on a Sunday afternoon and he managed to squeeze us in outside. Perfect for our large group of 12 with children. Roast beef was delicious, service was good. Can’t fault it. Will definitely return.

What an amazing find. Needed an overnight stay and wanted something other from the big chains of hotels. This little place is an absolute gem and the I just can’t fault anything. Staff…accommodation…food…all amazing.

Utterly abysmal service . Grossly understaffed with absolutely no sign of any manager . We arrived with 3 elderly guests , ignored for 5 minutes before being shown to stupidly tight fixed bench table . Then left for 25 minutes and were only served when we chased down a waitress . I can’t blame the two women on duty as they simple couldn’t cope . Will never return , appalling refurbishment and terrible sound reverberation around the room . ill conceived badly designed restaurant.

So disappointing. Five of the main course items were not available. We ordered veg as a side dish, none available. The wine we ordered from the wine list was not available. What’s happening to this restaurant, it used to be so good.

The Crown met all our expectations. The room was beautiful, clean and neat, with a Nespresso coffee machine, a lovely en suite bathroom and a view over a green area with beautiful trees. The dining area is pretty as a picture; breakfast was very good too. We had lunch and dinner in the pub and both were of a high standard. Loved the Orchard View cider!

We have used The Crown over the last 40 years and we watched with anticipation for the recent refurbishment, we went and stayed during the first week of opening and we were truly amazed at the transformation in all areas, the bar, the restaurant, the outdoor sitting area, the staff and the quality of food. This being the case I decided to revisit for a light lunch with friends this week, it was like a completely different pub, we ordered 3 sandwiches, a welsh rarebit and a bottle of wine, we were charged £85 which was obviously wrong, the bar staff had added 2 bottles to the bill one white, one red, this was not easy to rectify as the staff member was unsure how to refund the money, eventually it was sorted and we sat in the seating area outside only to discover that the cushions on the chairs were damp and when we lifted them up they were covered in mould, there were a pile of them on one of the tables. The tables were fifty with cobwebs and scraps of food, the once lovely pots and planting areas were full of weeds. The wine glasses that we were given were unclean, so I returned them to the bar, after speaking to the manager, she replied that they were 'not too bad'. The sandwiches came out and looked well presented but the welsh rarebit was accompanied with a pile of wilting mixed salad (which was really just rocket)and no dressing, there were 2 cherry tomatoes cut up and red onions which I felt was not acceptable for the cost of £7. Its such a shame after the big refurbishment that The Crown is looking shabby in so many areas.

Absolutely fantastic food, accommodation and great service! We stayed here for 1 night for a family event nearby. We booked in from a long journey from Leicestershire and wanted a sandwich because we were going to be eating properly later in the evening. It was past the time for club sandwiches but they still accommodated our request with a smile! We booked a table for 5 for Sunday lunch and they managed to fit us in at the time we wanted because we had a long trip back to Leicestershire. Breakfast here is the best I have ever had. Again credit to all the staff and the chef for great hospitality and service. Will definitely stay again and recommend to our friends who live nearby

Oh my what great service! Very busy sunday lunch however orders taken immediately delicious sunday roast served so quickly. Empties constantly cleared. Although busy all staff smiling and not rushed. Location fab. Refurbishement fab. Highly recommend. Kay

WOW! Second visit since refurbishment but first for Sunday lunch! Amazing. Had the roast pork and trimmings. Don't normally eat three roast spuds but the whole lunch was well cooked, tasty and hot!! The crackling was crispy. Fantastic service to boot. Will certainly be back!

By far the best pub with food in Chislehurst right now. Good menu, Great service, pleasant atmosphere. Absolutely nailed it.

The pub is nice, the staff were friendly and patient at the bar. The pub itself has been done up well but it’s more based on food, so we came to eat for the 1st time, but it was disappointing. Welsh rarebit had a soggy base and wasn’t cooked through properly, so was pretty lumpy. Chicken wings were cold and randomly served on red cabbage, there were only 3 so lacked generosity. Fish finger sandwich served on bread that was hard on top. The chips and scallops however were lovely. I was expecting better and won’t bother eating here again.

Been here several times since refurbishment, very impressed with food and service when regional managers were involved. Food still good but with stop in management oversight service dropped dramatically and outside dirty - spent 5 minutes cleaning table from tree debris and hardened ketchup, courtyard very dirty.

The restaurant was quiet. We ordered, the food took over an hour to come and we had to ask where it was. Food was lovely, all the courses we had. Service was really poor, attitude of staff was poor, and no one seemed to be in charge. Why spend so much money doing it up and then not have good staff. Atmosphere wasn’t great either. We went breakfast there a few weeks ago and it was the same. Such a shame.

Tried to hire this pub for a 40th birthday party of 60 guests and despite making over 20 calls, leaving messages by email and on Instagram noone has ever got back to us. We got through once to a man who was very rude on the phone and he advised the manager would call us back, but after 3 weeks we gave up expecting any contact and booked elsewhere. Very poor service.

Sat in garden with family and dogs and was treated to gorgeous food served with smiles and attention. Lovely pub! Some little extra touches would make this even better such as cushions on all chairs and maybe a basket of bread to complement the food....

Service amateurish - wine bottle served with no glasses Appetisers served before starters Long list of items not available on the menu conveyed after we’d decided Long wait for main course , so long that on asking for the dessert menu we were told the...

We used to go to the Crown regularly and were at a loss when it was closed for this refurb. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder and we were keen to see the results of the refurb. Initially, the signs were promising -...

The worst service i think we have ever experienced, laughable. They waited until they had seated us to inform us they had ran out of Sunday roasts. No waiting staff to be seen, had to get up and walk around to find someone. Waitresses seemed...

Great refurb, shame about the poor level of service and lack of stock. We tried to order 2 different Sauvignon blanc wines and we’re informed none of that wine in stock. This is a pub!!! Ordered food and 10 mins later told no fish pie...

We stayed here and the rooms are fabulous, the staff are great, the food is gorgeous and even better atmosphere. Definitely my go to pub when back in the area. I cannot fault it

Brilliant night in this fabulous place. Everything was on point and can't complain about anything. One of the best wings I've ever tasted, the steak was cooked to perfection. The pub had lovely atmosphere in and champions league was on for the finishing touch. Will...

Having just read the other reviews since it reopened a few weeks ago, looks like our bad experience was one of many. Went with a couple friends who are all foody fans so we were really excited to try the new Crown. The restaurant looks...

We prior booked some weeks ago for a party of 15 for a birthday, as requested we all pre-ordered our food but half hour before our table was booked for an email was sent to say that they had run out of the vegetarian option...

Do not go here if after chilled night out with friends..... Was disgusted with how it's run and what they allow in evenings, kids running around uncontrolled while their so called parents let them. A couple complained and it went off big time with the...

Having been to this pub to eat and drink we were keen to try it again after their renovations. Oh my what a huge disappointment, the bar service was poor and the food even worse. I ordered the burger but unfortunately the bun appeared to...

Love this pub but wish they had clean glasses. Nice atmosphere, friendly with pets and good service. Only issue is we always get a one glasses with lipstick on.

Booked a room at an excellent rate for an overnight stay after visiting the O2. This lovely place was welcoming and the food (both lunch and breakfast) were excellent. Room was lovely and clean. Staff really welcoming and at only 20-30 mins from the O2...

Stayed at The Crown last Saturday as we had a family do close by, lovely large room with balcony, nice welcoming staff, huge freshly cooked breakfast on Sunday, would definitely use again, recommended from us, ohh forgot price cheaper than the Premier Inn at Bromley...

This is is the second time I’ve stayed here. Staff are super friendly. Teresa really looked after us in the morning for breakfast which was great. The place has a homely feel. Rooms are clean and comfortable and the food is tasty.

Absolutely not disappointed. The food was divine and the staff were so attentive and lovely. Will definitely be returning, many thanks to the chef/s, amazing food ♥️

We stayed here at the recommendation of a family member and are very pleased we did. The staff were very welcoming and our room was spacious and very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent and thank you to Teresa for such great service. We will be back!

My husband and I recently held our wedding reception at the Crown Inn Restaurant. We used their function room adjacent to the restaurant. The process of arranging everything for a wedding of 25 guests was handled wonderfully by the staff at the Crown (particularly Jim,...

I visited the Crown twice in July for business trips. Check in was a breeze, and the rooms lovely and spacious. The simba mattress’ are to die for. Best nights sleep in ages. The Beef burger was epic, and Teresa who served us breakfast each...

For me , it’s all about, good friendly service, a good nights sleep and the amazing breakfast, Theresa, the breakfast waitress, has not forgot how it’s done ! Thank you

Poor ale. I appreciate that pubs have just reopened and people don’t want to venture out so premises buy little stock but this normally great pub only had Whitstable Bay pale ale, this was an awful pint and was flat as a pancake, if it...

The crown has reopened with social distancing rules and substantial meal. I had a great steak and glass of wine. The staff are friendly and so keen to serve. It’s Covid safe and really hope they can keep open. Limited draft beer as brewery has...

I’ve been there a couple of times but not for a while. Was really looking forward to a Sunday roast but the menu was (understandably) limited compared to previous visits. Our servers Keeley and Emily were great as usual but the food was disappointing and...

The service I received at the Crown was impeccable from the moment I arrived to when I checked out. Fab food, lovely rooms, great atmosphere and such attentive staff who made me feel so welcome and made my stay the best they could. I have stayed in many different hotels and have never had service quite like this! Thank you James and team for my lovely stay, will be sure to return!

Don't bother. Lovely food lovely staff and very bad management who don't have a clue. Manager is now starting to bar the regulars who have kept the pub going for years. Going downhill fast.

Well done team, Jim,Matt,Rebbecka, Luke, Theresa, Mandy, Amy, & Jack,Well done for making the environment so safe!All recommendations adhered to, as I regularly stay at hotels, I was concerned for safety, when the pub side reopenedI needn’t have been!Thank you allAndy M x

My husband and I had the opportunity for a night away without our 3 young children for the first time in so long thanks to lockdown .This fitted the bill perfectly .There’s lovely walks in the area to explore and we had planned to go for one but when we arrived we just enjoyed the peace and relaxing in our room which was nicely decorated with modern furnishings . Very friendly welcome and check in. Nothing is left in room ( due to covid restrictions ) but we were told to just ask if we need anything such as hair dryer and toiletries which I did request and were delivered to our door .Friendly attentive staff at dinner . Only 1 vegetarian option for a main meal but luckily we both loved the vegan burger and I think the menu may be reduced at the moment due to covid which is fair enough.Had a drink in garden after dinner which was nice and had a good atmosphere .Bed very comfy and we enjoyed the peace in the morning and hearing the bird song .Breakfast was great and I have attached a picture of the vegetarian breakfast which came with a choice of how eggs were cooked . Again very attentive service from the manager on this occasion who made us feel very welcome .Exactly what my husband and I were looking for and I would recommend . Think the summer staycation offer is excellent value .

We have used the crown before the covid lockdown and started again after the pubs reopened.I have found it is now more civilised with a phone call you can book a table not only for the restaurant but the bar as well. (Garden walkin is available). The sanitation is well done and the staff are all very accommodating and always pleasant.

We have been customers of the Crown throughout its various incarnations, for more years than we care to remember. We have not just frequented the pub but have also used the function rooms and the hotel rooms. Good, regular customers then!We paid our first post lockdown visit today and it will be our last.The new landlord managed to be obnoxious upon our arrival and compounded this by being unable to organise any sensible level of service. After issuing us with his instructions he took us to a table and we waited and waited …….and waited ……. and nothing happened: the pub simply has far too few staff. In the end we walked out and went to the nearby Bull, which could not have been more different to the Crown. The Bull staff are numerous, jolly and efficient and the whole place had life, whereas the Crown was depressing. The number of customers in each establishment told its own tale - Shepherd Neame have made a big mistake here.

Lovely beer garden, really pleasant atmosphere, super friendly and attentive staff and excellent food. Can’t wait to come back!

Checked in on Monday the 13th and the Crown had only reopened that day.We were visiting our son who lived nearby.Jim ,Matt,Theresa and Jack couldn’t have been more helpful. Food and drink was superb and of the highest quality.The Covid19 regulations were fully adhered to but did not get in the way of a highly enjoyable visitThanks Dave and Sue

I recently went to a wake at this pub and was impressed by the service. Buffet was very good. Because of this I booked a party of 10 in for an evening meal. Although there was not a lot of choice on the menu, what we did have was excellent and every one enjoyed their meal and the service. I had the Pork belly, and although it came with some unusual vegetables to compliment the dish and it was delicious.

I booked this as we were celebrating my friends birthday and having meal nearby .On arrival outside the property, I have to say that I thought I’d made a big mistake. The outside was quite dilapidated and in need of a refurbishment. When we went into the bar, it was a little tired, but nice enough. We were shown to our room by a friendly member of staff. When we entered the room we were pleasantly surprised, it was clean, modern, spacious, yet cosy at the same time. We had a lovely nights sleep ( beds very comfortable.) The next morning we went down to breakfast where we were served by a lovely lady by the name of Teresa. She was friendly, very attentive- couldn’t do enough for us. Fantastic breakfast, friendly staff, lovely room, all in all a great stay. We will definitely return.

Another I too idle to cook. It was a good meal. The waitress finished with do you know the Crown is due a refurbisment. At a date with in a couple of weeks. She said it would be a big one. The effect would be relocating the Bar and some Hotel improvements. All the Shepheard & neame appear to having works done because the Wharf outside Dartford is closed for refurbishment. The Crown is always good food and very welcoming.

Visited Saturday for lunch. Friendly welcome. Very friendly table service and waitress went above and beyond. Food good too!

unusual starter well executed ham hock tasty lovely main of pressed belly of pork with mash etc good service and warm atmosphere highly recommend

Stayed here on a Saturday night. Hugely impressed with the cleanliness of the room (room 2). A lovely size bedroom and bathroom and nice views across the common.Very friendly and efficient check in. Couldn’t fault breakfast - with a special mention for Theresa who was an absolute delight. She went the extra mile to make sure we had what we wanted and was super friendly - just the type of memorable service that will make us return.Thank you!

I want to give my huge thanks to the team at this lovely pub. I have stayed at the pub since September 19, working in the area, and the customer standards are exceptional. Staff always wanting to keep the customer happy and food is great. The rooms are to a high standard and very clean. Its been a home away from home and the managers Mathew and Becca, provide a exceptional good service. All the team, work hard to please and I have never wanted for anything. The pub is suitable for all, and is very business and family friendly. Thank you all.

We stayed for a long weekend. The staff were brilliant with helping us with directions to various places we wanted to visit. The room (No.2) is beautiful. Lovely big room with a nice comfy bed, great size bathroom and the added pleasure of a balcony. The breakfast was varied and delicious. Special thanks to Theresa and Rebecca.

Had a Brill evening meal and family lunch next day mixed group mixed food tastes but everybody was very happy

It was Sunday lunch for ten people . Every meal was perfect all served nice and hot with fresh vegetables cooked to perfection the Yorkshire puddings to die for well done chef.Although we mainly had choice of three roast plus’s a veggie option they have quite an extensive menu of tasty dishes qThe staff were all very pleasant and helpful our main waitress Keely worked diligently to make our visit perfect .very accommodating when some guest were late due to traffic hold up . This is not our first visit, the food and service was consistent with our other visit s .we will certainly travel the 35 miles to this traditional pub for future occasions

We wandered of the high street to venture here on a wet Saturday. Was I great idea. Wonderful service from the bar staff, in fact all the staff. Food really good too. Would definitely return. Lovely atmosphere too.

Lovely little pub in pretty surroundings. The restaurant area was nice but unfortunately we ate in the function room as it was so busy..... really enjoyed the food but the service was slightly lacking.

11 of us had a delightful Sunday lunch food cooked to perfection and served nicely .menu choice was very good personally I had the roast lamb no fat and tender. The veg was purple carrots red cabbage and cauliflower cheese plus a Yorkshire my request very tasty. The staff were very kind helpful with menu and drinks choice nothing seemed too much trouble and the service was good for such a busy period highly recommend will use again

Had Sunday lunch here with my husband and children, staff was friendly and efficient, Teresa was superb! Food was divine and cooked to perfection, it was extremely busy and the wait time was 30 minutes which is longer than we had hoped, but i wasn't surprised due to the amount of people there was to serve, a busy restaurant says to me a good restaurant and that is exactly what it is.We was informed on numerous occasions that our food will be with us shortly so we didn't mind at all. The lemon cheesecake was delicious. Brilliant atmosphere, and a lovely pub garden overlooking the green. We are local but have never been here before, and we've booked to come back next Sunday and will be bringing our parents along. Thanks to everyone at the crown for looking after us, we will most definitely be returning!

Came in for Sunday roast with family. Was absolutely great, loved food, and staff were very welcoming. Will definitely come back.

We booked here because it - incredibly - had a 4.1 rating on Google. I give a pub/restaurant a ‘1’ if I know I could do significantly better on every level, if I did not feel I got quality and value for money at all, and if I am absolutely certain I will never eat at there again. All is true of The Crown’s Sunday roast:

We won't go back. Beef and burger were overcooked. Some unfriendly and confused members of staff. The junior staff was very friendly with the kids.

My family and I regularly visit this pub after a dog walk on the Common and eat, drink and walk back home. Service is always with a smile and today on a busy sunny Sunday a short staffed pub and restaurant excelled in particular Theresa who was superb at keeping everyone served and under pressure done the pub proud. Highly recommended anytime.

This is our second visit to The Crown in a few weeks. Both occasions have been Sunday lunchtime. We were extremely impressed, the pub is situated on the edge of the gorgeous village green in Chislehurst and it's a perfect setting. There is a small car park but generally people park on the roadside.

Our first time visiting Chislehurst and I opted to book here as the reviews on the whole were pretty good. We arrived 30mins early and asked if it was possible to be seated, they were happy to accommodate. The restaurant was empty when we arrived, this may have been due to the fact it was 12.30 and maybe a little too early for some. Disappointingly though we were still the only ones there an hour later when we left. The service was good and the waitresses very pleasant. Drinks arrived within minutes of ordering them.

The food was exceptional. Perfectly cooked, came out piping hot and tasted delicious. Not only do they do great food, it’s an awesome place to stay. The rooms are pretty, practical, pristine clean and spacious and comfortable. The staff are courteous, knowledgeable and very helpful. I cannot speak highly enough about this gem of a place in London!

Went for Sunday lunch a couple of months ago. Really nicely done out inside and out and the staff are really friendly. Lunch was tasty and plentiful and the staff were great - very attentive without being over bearing. If you don’t want to cook and fancy a feed up give it a try - you won’t be disappointed!

I took my parents here for lunch and the food was beautiful! We each chose something from their weekend specials board and they did not disappoint, not only did they taste amazing but the presentation was stunning!

Lovely Sunday afternoon spent at The Crown. Delicious food and drink. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Will definitely be returning soon!

Amazing staff,great food, superb rooms, spotlessly clean, well done to Amanda & Amy,Teresa, who looks after breakfast, is a treasure, super efficient & very friendly

On a evening out with friends whilst watching Wimbledon and cheering Federer to a win, my friend and I were told by the manager to keep the noise down then she then ensued in a tirade of verbal abuse and refused to serve my friend because I was standing beside her. Am a regular at the Crown and have been there for many sporting events where predominantly men would shout for their teams. It seemed this manager had a problem with us as women and me as a black woman. A couple of the other members of staff were also very rude. Shocking lack of respect for us as customers and as human beings. If I could give a zero rating I would.

Had a lovely family meal at the crown in Chiselhurst on Sunday. Such friendly staff and the food was brilliant. One of your waitresses Keeley spent an extra few minutes talking with my young daughter (who is very fussy with food) to make sure her meal was what she wanted. Could not recommend the pub enough.

We visited The Crown in Sunday. The Spitfire Ale was on very good form! The restaurant was surprisingly quiet for 3.00 on a Sunday. We all ordered a starter and a roast. The starters were good. The roast was very good. Extra roasties were served on request. There was plenty of good we’ll cooked vegetables and the meal was plentiful and hot! The staff were always on hand and very cheerful. Really enjoyed it and will visit again

The wait was long but the food was lovely Highly recommended Will definitely come back Come with family and friends and everyone liked it.

Had a Sunday lunch for my uncles 60th Birthday! Absolutely awful! Freezing cold they then offered to heat it up in the microwave which to be honest it looked like it had been microwaved already!!! Would never return.

Blimey, just blimey, where to start with this. Have I got space for a 10,000 word review.

Friendly staff lovely beer good garden good food well worth a visit good crowd of drinkers a really nice pub

Just had Sunday lunch with family and dog

A friendly welcoming pub whose staff had no problem in accommodating our walking group of 23 people for lunch. Efficient friendly service was much appreciated by all and we look forward to returning again soon.

There is an interesting menu with a range of choices from a straight forward 'Fish and Chips' to a mouthwatering burger which cheese and brisket. The meals are well presented with accompanying vegetables or salad. In our case we were very impressed that the chef came out to ask us what we thought of our meal. The available wines are well priced.

Having visited before and had a good meal we took friends for a meal. The starter was very goo and we all enjoyed it. On the whole our friends enjoyed their meal but two of us ordered the steak, the most expensive item on the menu and one was good and the other was very tough. In fact so tough that it could not be eaten. Although I tried very hard. At the end of our meal when they came to collect our plates I told the waitress and she offered to get me another but it was too late then. The steak was cooked perfectly to my liking, medium but the steak itself was tough. We thought they would remove the cost from the bill but they didn't. Do not order the steak!

We stayed here for one night whilst on a visit to Chislehurst for a friend’s 40th. Really nicely decorated clean rooms and service was friendly and warm. It has a typical English Inn feel to it but it is nice and clean. We ate an early dinner on the Saturday evening and it was all good. Husband enjoyed the burger and I had the beef pie which was lovely.

We booked this visit as part of their Winter Offer package. We had a 'superior' double room; and we have honestly not stayed in a hotel room anywhere, that was better than this for the price.

Took my parents and 5 year old son here for lunch on a Sunday. I have never been to the Crown before so had no expectations, my father suggested it as he used to frequent the pub 5+ years ago.

Went to the Crown, one of our locals. for lunch today. Shocked. First time for at least five years, and since then it's gone right down the drain. Food so tasteless that with our eyes shut we wouldn't have known what we were eating. New Zealand Pinot Noir likewise unidentifiable, but for the label. It was quite busy, so maybe we were just unlucky. Next time: Bull's Head or Cote Brasserie.

Have had a meal with my wife, started with tasty crunchy calamari to share followed by special of the day the crab linguine and the hand carved roast ham, egg and chips with tomato chutney. Food was delicious, good service too. Part two: moved to the bar area and the atmosphere was very relaxed, with dog walkers welcome, mix of families and groups of friends. Very pleasant evening and will be visiting again.

Very friendly and welcoming service . We didn't feel rushed and the food was very good lots of selection of vegetables . We really had a lovely Christmas Day meal there.
