The Crown Tavern in South Lanarkshire

After a long week of travelling it was a pleasure to be greeted by the staff as we entered the Crown and took a seat by the fire as Grace and Anna immediately brought us our usual drinks, made a fuss of our dog and chatted with us before serving us the usual excellent food we have come to expect. It is so refreshing to be served by people who clearly enjoy their jobs and value your custom, highly recommended this place.

Went for a few cheeky shandy's it's a pub and it also duz grub

A little quiet, but it was Monday afternoon

Delicious food, kind and helpful staff, very good prices, nice atmosphere. Highly recommend!

its a very relaxing place sip your drink at the Bar chair and gaze at different nations of banknotes little music kicks in to your ear beautiful ambiance Thank you for your service :)

Hands down the best pub and restaurant in Lanark. Have been a regular here for a number of years and have never left disappointed. The standard of food is consistently excellent and the service from the girls is brilliant. Don’t expect Michelin star style cuisine or prices, but if you are looking for a warm welcoming atmosphere, good food and friendly attentive service at a very reasonable price, you won’t be disappointed.

Great food and really enjoyed the vibe and the staff were very friendly, helpful and attentive.

This is one of the best places I've been for food, drink and service. I come up to visit my mum twice a year and we like to go here once a visit. The food is incredible no matter what we have, the drink is amazing (alcohol always is). The servers are also amazing and great at what they do. Massive credit to Irene, every time we go she's chatty, fun and a sweet person, you are lucky to have her!! Can't wait till our next visit. Thank you all xxx

We used to visit the Crown regularly, but haven't been for a number of years, Last night's visits reminded us why! The food was as excellent, as it always was. From the moment we arrived the staff were frankly rude, not a smile, not a welcome I don't even think we received one thank you! The young waitress couldn't have looked anymore miserable if she tried, she literally huffed at me when I asked for 10 minutes before main courses were served. Plates were handed to us rather than put on the table, everything was an effort including bringing some wine glasses! Such a shame, this is somewhere I have eaten since I was around 12 years and some where I will not go back!

Staff attitude right from the lack of greeting on arrival set the tone for the evening sadly. We had not been for a meal here for a while and decided to go back for a change. We felt very rushed into ordering as though we were on a time limit. Wine was brought to the table with no glasses. The waitresses, especially the young one were miserable not even a smile let alone any jovial chat. You expect a little welcoming and personality in a restaurant! The main courses were spot on, food was lovely, couldn't fault but the poor service really let it down. Waitress dressed in jeans not the slitest smile or head nod to anything. You felt lime you were an inconvenience. Repeat drinks dropped on table with no glasses. As we left, not even a thank you or goodbye. Incredibly rude and disappointing when the bill was not insignificant. Sadly the service says we won't be back despite the food. There are places that appreciate your custom much more and add to your evening!

Nice olde worlde charm and good food. Dog friendly. Recommend Mac and Cheese.

Absolutely excellent staff food outstanding. Best lemon sole I've ever had and I'm very fussy. 6 of us all has different dishes abs we all said the food was amazing thankyou

Always friendly atmosphere owner and staff great and dogs allowed in bar area for bar meals etc

Great family Sunday dinner. Great service. Loads of choice and the kids were well catered for too.

Never ate here but a lovely welcome everytime we go into this cosy pub

Really good cuisine, I haven't eaten this well in a long time. The service was also very friendly and there was a great typical atmosphere Absolutely recommended

Nice friendly place for a few drinks

Very warm welcome with my 2 dog's. The staff were very friendly and made sure the dog's had plenty of water and attention. The food also looked lovely, will need to sample on my next visit, which will be very soon 🐾💕

The staff was really friendly and helpful the service was excellent and very tasty and value for money and is a fantastic place to bring your dogs as they staff treat s them very well and also makes such they lots of water and affection as well as has dog blankets

Great homemade food, huge portion too. Great, friendly service

Didn't have food, but a lovely atmosphere and staff friendly.

Delicious food! Husband tried the Highlander chicken with haggis for the first time and thought it was amazing. My mince and mushroom pie was also delicious. Good portions. Friendly staff, food arrived quickly and we were sat in a nice quiet area of the restaurant. Would have no hesitation in going again or recommending to others.

Exceptional place! The servers/bartenders were fantastic and the food even more so. It was absolutely pouring rain, which I got caught in, so I ordered haggis, neeps & tatties, and a glass of scotch for a true Scottish experience, apparently. Everything was excellent.

The food is absolutely 💯 greate.

Had a lovely meal at The Crown Tavern, food was really tasty, good size portions and reasonably priced. Service was friendly and quick. The only downside was it was absolutely roasting in the restaurant.

We went yesterday for some food, great atmosphere, the lady that served us was just brilliant, excellent attitude, patience and kindness. Food is excellent, there are plenty of choices for everyone and tastes delicious, perfectly cooked. 5 stars 🌟 for everything, I really would recommend this place !

Very friendly and great service from good manered staff

Heard the chef screaming at her staff behind the kitchen door on Sunday, honestly it really ruined and bittered our expectations and experience.

Excellent meals and portions, as always. Back again and still excellent food. Very dog friendly in the bar area. External seating available on picnic bench seating.

Was at this lovely pub on 19.4.24 with work colleagues lovely atmosphere fantastic meal great serves recommend 💯% 😀 👍

Best T-Bone steak I've had for years. Cooked to perfection (medium/rare). Outstanding.

Really good quality food and service. Nice authentic pub atmosphere downstairs, or if you prefer, more of a restaurant upstairs. Good selection of drinks and all is reasonably priced. I had the haggis, tatties and neeps, very tasty and a decent sized portion too. Would definitely recommend the Crown Tavern.

Genuinely the best place for food in the area. Great pint and the staff always go the extra mile. If you're in Lanark and need a proper meal and night out this is a great traditional pub to do it in.

Lovely cozy tavern, service with a very friendly smile. Portion of curry sauce was a bit too much for the filling. But very nice.

Customer satisfaction guarantee great food big helpings and excellent staff

My Husband and I have been going to the Crown for about 30 years. Food is amazing, all fresh. Their Caribbean chicken is my all time favourite. Anyone that eats here will not be disappointed. Staff are very friendly and always willing to help.

Good food, sensible pricing, good atmosphere, but that could have been down to the rugby .

First Class venue for good food excellence ✨️ 👌

A nice dog friendly pub that serves very good food with nice friendly staff. We sat in the bar but there is a separate dining area if you don't have a dog. Nice extensive menu with loads of choice & options for vegetarian or gluten free diners. Free street parking for 2 hours outside. We'll definitely return.

Great wee place for an occasional dinner

Grumpy waitresses, not even a smile, unhappy that we split the bill, actually huffed and shook head in front of us ! Meal was lovely but spoilt by the atmosphere created during the meal with their attitude. Will spend our money elsewhere in future.

Great pub serving great food, friendly staff, reasonable prices and very welcoming to your four legged family member. Fantastic place.

Great food, friendly staff, and good beer...... what more could you ask for? A toasty fire puts the icing on the cake.

Food was memorably delicious. Would go back again anytime. The smoked haddock and prawn pie was excellent.

Had a lovely Dinner thank you for fitting us in at the last minute. Can't wait to come back, the Mushroom Stroganoff was gorgeous and my Husband loved the Burger and chips

Been working in Lanark for six weeks now, and we were recommended The Crown at the Start of our 3rd week. We have eaten in there every night, and have worked our way through the extensive Menu, and every dish we have had, has been absolutely beautiful. Prices are very decent for a very healthy portion of food, and service every night from the frienldy helpfull staff, has been excellent. Would highly recommended.

Great Sunday lunch. Very dog friendly and accessible for my daughter in a wheelchair. The toilets are less accessible sadly but otherwise highly recommend this friendly local.

Beautiful food great service lovely pub will be back 100%

Dinner with friends , the food was absolutely fantastic well presented and the flavours just great. Would definitely go back.

A very good choice of food. Staff were very friendly and the service was great. We enjoyed our food in a friendly atmosphere.

First time at this pub, service was good , same with the atmosphere, it had a few people in so it was not too busy, food wise it was OK but nothing to write home about , can't really recommend anything really as it was just standard pub grub , I have had better, but also had worse.

Awful attitude from elder member (carol) of staff , made us feel most unwelcome then spoke about us in kitchen to other staff members she was unaware knew us . Had been coming for years and supported business through covid but definitely won’t return now . Most uncomfortable meal , ashamed we actually paid at the end of it

Excellent food in a friendly welcoming atmosphere!

We visited here on a sunny but VERY frosty Thursday in January - The real fire burning away in the corner is very welcoming. My husband, dog and I were made very welcome on arrival - this is just our second visit to the Crown Tavern and definitely won't be our last. Classic good old fashioned pub grub menu which offers a BIG selection and all at very reasonable prices. Clearly there was a mix of lots of locals as well as day trippers like ourselves. Several of the locals, especially those with dogs stopped at our table to pat our dog and say hello - how lovely and friendly this wee place is! I had the chicken burger, served very simply with home made chips (you can really tell the difference) and a small pot of mayo on the side. The chicken was battered and was crispy and very tasty on the outside and super juicy inside. Cooked to perfection and a very big portion indeed! My husband had the chicken and mushroom pie in a gorgeous thick, creamy tarragon sauce - the pastry was all golden and crispy - again cooked perfectly.....YUM! This had the option of chips or mash and came with a nice varied selection of veg. He absolutely golloped it down!!! I think the food, atmosphere, service and prices make this a really fab pub serving all the lovely comfort food you could wish for! We will be back soon!!!

Landlady was really unfriendly. Essentially acted like everything was a huge inconvenience. Food mediocre but prices ok and it came quickly. No cask ales.

Been here many times. Food and service always excellent.

Interesting and freshly cooked to order....and simply offering a good choice at really good value. I'd definitely recommend the place and the staff really work hard. Unassuming from the outside.

Service excellent, food outstanding

Traditional pub in Lanark. Friendly staff. Cash only upstairs in the function area. I didn't know this, but the staff sorted it and I paid my bill downstairs. I didn't have food, but the restaurant area was busy and the people eating seemed to be enjoying their food.

Lovely fresh food friendly staff nice in feel about the place

Apart from a bit of tiling needing to be repaired in the gents toilet, very nice pub with food. The waitress was pleasant & efficient. Food reasonably priced. Very good scampi & the best homemade chips I’ve had in years.

Friendly staff Had 2 nice meals there

Great wee place. Friendly staff, good food and drink and decent prices. Dog friendly

Wow: proper fresh food at a great price. Service was great too 😉 Definitely coming back

Traditional tavern with a modern twist on old favourites. Great service and value.

Nice place and good atmosphere x

Was there with the family . Very nice meal and the steak was cooked pedfect thanks

Have visited The Crown on many occasions, several family birthday dinners (20 to 30 dining), go often for a meal or just pop in for a drink. Food is all excellent, and service is very good.

Biggest menu you'll ever see, great food

We have been the the Crown on numerous occasions and always had a nice meal. However this time I was disappointed with how my steak was cooked as were others in the group. I asked for my steak to be cooked rare abut it was served medium to well done. It was tasty enough so I did not make a fuss but I mentioned it to the waiter as were preparing to leave. She was apologetic and said she would feed back to the kitchen. This wont hinder me returning as normally there are never any issues.

We were cold and wet from a miss calculated walk in the area caught the bus into Lanark, our normal favourite family restaurant was fully booked and this was a complete surprise. We will definitely be coming back. Food was excellent, service kind and friendly. Just a super experience!

This place is a must. Menu wide selection, food good quality and very tasty , service warm and friendly

Good food, good atmosphere, nice beer, coffee a bit of a letdown.

lovely fresh food and the best chips. staff really friendly. open coal 🔥. Good choice of beer and vin.

Lovely Hogmanay dinner for six. Superb steaks. Staff were obviously pressed, but maintained great service with humour. Excellent, and our French guests were equally impressed.

Our visit was let down by impatient and short tempered waitress.

First visit to the Crown tavern in years, had lunch and was impressed with the extensive menus. We had Cullen skink soup, very nice, followed by the steak and sausage pie again very good. Happy to come back anytime.

Well what can you say went for our wee Xmas night out meal was excellent , service was something the Tavern should be proud of all the girls were very polite and very friendly , we had a wee problem with our taxi but the staff were very helpful trying to sort things out for us to get us home .

Went to the crown tavern 4/12/22 not knowing what to expect but was greatly surprised food was excellent and great portion size. The chicken pie is outstanding couldn’t choose either mushroom leek or ham to go along with it so the server suggested why not have all 3 great suggestion The staff were all extremely happy and friendly and weren’t over baring like some places checked the food was ok and to see if we needed drinks couldn’t ask for better Over all a very good experience and would highly recommend trying this place and it doesnt cost a fortune great value fir money

Great food, service nice atmosphere and warm.

Excellent food and fantastic service and great value for money 👏👏👏

I can’t fault the food or prices but the staff don’t seem to want to be there. Manners are verging on rude to be honest. Well worth a visit but the management needs to employ happier staff 🤷🏻‍♀️

Great food and atmosphere, good value for money.

i have dined here several times i always start with the pate the best i have ever tasted their sunday dinner of roast beef and yorkshire pudding is excellent .

Fantastic great,Sunday lunch package. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Great portions definitely will be back. Yummy yummy

A lovely, dog friendly pub. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Great food at good value for money and lot's of choice on the menu. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.

Food and service always excellent.

Great local food and hospitality.

Other than dogs sitting on the seats drinking from a stainless steel bowl on the table I thought it was great. Staff lovely. Nice venue. Even my dog loving friends found that a bit 'ick .

Mediocre food, have cooked better at home. Decor in the ladies loo is awful. The idea is good the work clearly was not done by a professional painter. I didn't want chips or potatoes and asked for extra vegetables. I hope what I got wasn't a large portion as I'd be very dissapointed with a standard portion. Saving grace they tasted ok. Hadn't been in for a long time, doubt I'll be rushing back.

Food excellent staff helpful and friendly and reasonable prices 👍

We were spending a week at Braehead and because we had our dog choosing somewhere to eat was difficult. We found this pub restaurant ideal, friendly staff and customers. We ate there 3 times and the vegetable lasagne was the best I have ever tasted. If we were in the area we would definitely go back again.

Was in with my husband for a anniversary meal few days ago,The food was great but staff was not, One women using verbal abuse towards people at the bar, Great place just not a great atmosphere.

Great place for families to eat. The food is great, plenty of choice & the staff are excellent. Highly recommended.

Small pub that doesn't look like much from the outside. Restaurant part very good. Varied menu. Good value for money

Omg best pub restaurant food stayed in New lanark Mills went here for change recommended by taxi driver would have walked past thinking was a wee pub , amazing quality food great portions fabulous choices on menu, that's some chef they have. Well worth vista little gem of a place.

Friendly wee pub. The food is great here. Glad the taxi driver recommended this to us.

Still great - good food - good folk and great staff. 👍

Dog friendly, good menu choice, good food
