The Crown Inn Southam in Stratford-on-Avon

We have not been to the Crown for a while. Now they have new owners. I can say that the Sunday roast was delicious! We had the trio of meats, which was served with all trimmings, the leeks were phenomenal, and it came out hot. The service was also fantastic, very welcoming and friendly. We will definitely be returning, we highly recommend you give it a go.

Visted with a friendcand shared the goats cheese burger and rack of ribs. WOW they both looked amazi g and very tasty. Staff were friendly and attentive.

Lovely afternoon lunch. Friendly staff and atmosphere. Had freshly cooked lunch and ales were diverse and apparently changed regularly. Definitely recommend.

What a find! So many pubs advertise home cooked home person and often I'm left very disappointed. Well us 4 golden girls booked for lunch based on a recommendation from a friend, what a wonderful experience it was too. The food was amazing, the home made pies the size of a side plate and full of meet. The southern fried chicken could give the KFC bargain bucket a run for it's money.... And the ribs, succulent and absolutely huge. We could not eat it all so they very kindly boxed the ribs and chicken up. Lovely lad serving us, who didn't mind a bit of ribbing from the oldies. Great experience Team, thank you we will be back soon

Visiting family in the area and decided to try their newly restarted breakfast service. Food was of good quality, tasty and rapidly served to us. The staff were very friendly and helpful, they also seemed sincerely interested how everything was. Would recommend. Good price too. For reference 3 adults a 4yr old and 18mnth old.

Great little find off the high street whilst out for a morning stroll visit family. Lovely interior with a country feel and a great selection of beers all served in the right glasses. Staff very welcoming and was a pleasure to speak to the owner. We will definitely be back when in the area. Great to support independent pubs and local amenities.

Table booked for a Friday evening, based on recommendation. Food was acceptable, but I think the term “Gastropub” was pushing it. The table was in the main bar, so lots of people in very close proximity & they should have told us that they had live entertainment that evening which was an insult to the ears. Couldn’t have a conversation. It may be better at lunchtimes, but not for an evening

Popped in to warm up and keep dry, four of us had a really enjoyable lunch. Friendly, very pleasant and attentive staff, big menu to choose from and all the meals were excellent.

We went to The Crown for a NYE meal. The staff couldn’t do enough to help. The food was really good and the karaoke was a bonus.

The worst food and experience I have had in any restaurant. We had booked a family Christmas 4 weeks In advance and chosen the three courses we wanted two weeks in advance so the restaurant had all the info they required to make this a great lunch. We arrived at 12pm, no tables were set and one hour later the starters came out. Guests that had pate was served with cheap white sliced bread stone Cold.I had sea food linguine which was that dry it was stuck to the bowl like it had been left out over night. The main courses came 2 1/2 hours after we had arrived cold with many items missing from are orders. At this point customers were walking out as they couldn’t wait any longer for desert. The deserts arrived at are table just after 3pm...yep you guessed it, terrible. The restaurant had two sittings, 12pm and 3pm. As the 50 plus guest from the 12pm sitting were waiting for their desert, another 50 guest arrived with no where to sit it was a nightmare. The manager did offer us a discount and said he was short on staff,but most of the preparation for the meals could have bed early to save this Christmas Day disaster.

The food was delivered on time but was cold and very small portion, the beef was raw well almost, it had bled all over the other bits so had to cook it more, the yourkies had been squished into the box so was like a pancake and was rubbery, tiny portions cold and didn’t taste good at all! Very disappointed and wasn’t cheap won’t order again!

absolutely superb carvery, excellent value the staff were brilliant & polite would definitely recommend to everyone would go again take care

Very poor meat quality and limited choice. One vegan choice but 2 sundries not vegan with no alternatives offered. Food was lukewarm. Was refunded for the food but the owner told me he thought I was being "picky" and was quite confrontational. We won't be returning

Called in and booked a table after a local run around the village. Ordered at the bar and a pint. friendly and attentive young staff...food was very good and service prompt.

This pub is somewhere we've wanted to try for a while and sadly we were a little dissapointed. It's important to note the staff were welcoming, super friendly, very attentitive but they were all quite young which would explain the rap music and rnb as the Sunday evening choice of melody. We had a Sunday roast which was good, although more expensive than the website suggeted it was a huge portion and absolutely did the job. No complaints there. The thing is, Sunday's are made for relaxing, we would have stayed for more drinks and thoroughly enjoyed the lovely beams and old character the building had to offer if the music volume was lower and more chilled. I'm only 39 but it was doing my head in, literally! After dinner we made a quick exit and headed home for one instead. Would we go back, yes I would think so, but it probably wouldn't be our first choice which is such a shame because the pub has a lot to offer.

This local has changed its name and its ‘brand’ a number of times over the years that we have lived in the area and its appeal has fluctuated. The previous time we visited it had been recently refurbished, reopened under yet another different name and was a fresh and welcome change to the other pubs in the town. However, our most recent visit, to what is now The Crown, was disappointing on account of the following: The unfortunate smell that hit us as we walked in – possibly from drains or the toilets, the lack of a low percentage beer which meant that my husband only had one pint, and would otherwise have had two, poor vegetarian choice and lastly the fact that it was a little chilly – such a pity that the fire/log burner wasn’t lit on a cool January evening as this would have massively improved the warmth and ambience of the pub, especially as the décor is beginning to look a bit tired. On a positive note, we were given a friendly, but not over the top, welcome by the young lady acting as bar staff and waiting staff and told we could choose from a number of cleaned tables. Most, or all, of the other patrons appeared to be drinkers and our food order was taken quickly. There was no problem with my tweaking my choice and our meals arrived in good time, The food quality was only average, but it was hot, plentiful with no room for a dessert, tasty and within the price range one would expect for a pub meal. The waitress, who couldn’t be faulted, was very pleasant and gave us just the right amount of attention. Even given the downsides, yes, we will probably go back in the future, but there are plenty of better places in the vicinity that we will visit again first. It’s also worth noting that while The Crown seems to be successfully operating as both an eating and locals drinking venue, it lacks the garden area for a pleasant outside dining experience in more clement weather.

We went to the Crown for Christmas dinner. Very disappointed. Large portions but poor quality. Had to wait ages for everyone to get their correct starter then we waited almost 20 mins between the first main meal being brought to the table and the last...

Food was really good our only problem was we couldn't eat it all, but nevertheless it was really good. Will go again when we are in the area.

Wonderful food and service. Avoid if you are a veggie. The menu is very limited if you are vegetarian - there must be about 60 meat options but only about 4 veggie options - such a poor show! : ( Service is wonderful Food is...

We ordered through ‘just eat’ and normally the food and delivery service is great but our delivery and food was totally shoddy. The food was cold and we had to reheat, obvs that makes the food then soggy and it took over 1hr and 30mins...

I write this with real disappointment. Ordered a box meal delivery. The fries were stone cold, in fact they were not cooked and raw inside. The ribs fell off the bone and we had high hopes…they were tough and old, really inedible. Not sure how...

I ate at the Crown last night with my gf. We're both quite fussy about eating out and have had some fairly mediocre meals in the past (at other local restaurants) All I can say is I wish we'd tried the Crown ages ago. It...

The waitress was lovely which is why I gave 1 star. Having previously been on a work’s Christmas meal the year before & having a fabulous meal decided to go for my parents wedding anniversary. Wished I hadn’t, the menu had changed so much, mainly...

We dined here and had a fab experience. The 45 sec welcome on arrival was perfect, always a key sign of good things to come. Choice of ales was just right, my beer was delicious. The ladies had a choice of good wine and we...

Went as a bank holiday treat. The menu had a good choice and the food was excellent. Superb portion sizes and very tasty. Good choice of drinks and very friendly attentive staff. Other reviews may suggest they did not have as good an experience but...

Food cheap and inadequate as well as the service. Don’t waste your time money or time. We gave ample opportunity for the food order to be corrected and even on a second attempt food was tepid temperature and food inedible. Cesar salad (I use the...

Usually portion sizes are a lot better than this. Through out lockdown the roast dinners were fantastic but ordered today and my god. What a let down. The Yorkshire puddings are like pancakes and the vegetables there’s not enough of. Very disappointed considering it cost...

Ordered for a takeaway service and was rather excited for what we had Ordered, It would seem I should have lowered my expectations. Wings were bland and chewy, onion rings and fries were sticking to the inside of the takeaway box, the cheesey garlic bread...

Easy to order, efficient, friendly delivery, fantastic food, highly recommend. Compliments to Chef Colin, thank you.

We just had a delivery from the Crown Southam. Top marks for the steaks they were delicious as were the cod and chips. We will definitely be ordering again thankyou.

We have heard good things about The Crown Inn Southam, and we were so happy we visited for an evening meal, food was exceptional, staff were friendly and I can only say it has the most beautiful and stylish interior of any pub we have...

The Covid precautions were very good. Meal was nice, but not all food on the plate was hot. The waitresses were extremely helpful and would recommend eating there. We had the event offer which was great value.

Having booked online, we were extremely disappointed to find a very small selection of meals available, apparently due to changing chefs. Had we known this we would have gone elsewhere. The staff were very friendly but service was very slow. I feel we should have...

The Crown looked inviting for Sunday lunch. Staff gave us a warm welcome. As the restaurant quickly filled up there was no attempt at social distancing. With every table full, staff and customers were squeezing past in the confined space and I didn't feel safe....

If it wasn't for Covid this place would definitely receive 5/5. Everything is great, the service, the updated beer garden, the menu ( a salad option would be a bonus though pls) and the food itself. The staff are wonderful - incredibly kind, professional and...

Amazing food in an amazing pub with amazing staff. Food is so well presented with quality ingredients. Really enjoyed our visit. Thank you Darren and team.

This was an unexpected delight! Carl the new chef delivered such a delightful meal. There were 4 of us 2 had the calamari starter and 2 the scallops. We decided that we were equal at this stage as both were wonderful. For mains 2 had...

Southam's best kept secret. The Crown Inn's Restaurant. One of the very best meals I have enjoyed at any Restaurant complimented by prompt, friendly service and good prices. Wake up people of Southam, you have a fantastic Restaurant at The Crown Inn, please go and...

Sunday lunch was amazing. meat were so tender and the meat is locally, veg was tasty and fresh. Would recommend that you call in or takeaway

This delightful, historic pub in Southam is now under new management and is very warm and welcoming. Good range of drinks, gluten free menu available (a big plus), a great atmosphere, amazing toilets and very friendly staff. We’ll be back!
