Cameron was great, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience at The Crown Restaurant.

VIKKI WAS GREAT! Thank you fantastic food and rose wine!!!

food was STUNNING vikki was AMAZING thank you so much!!!!!!!!

Fantastic pub with great food, service, and staff. Obviously very popular with locals. They are very crowded after work, but they know how to service their patrons efficiently and with a smile.

Great place for lunch. Good food, staff is real nice, views are great. The music is appropriately quiet and jazzy contributing to a pleasant environment. Good value. 4 of us ate lunch for only £48 including drinks.

Excellent service, food and drinks. Handy to be able to order to the table via the QR menu and pay.

Lovely local pub for a hearty meal .

Amazing staff, food and service. It was the perfect stop before heading to the airport!

Very cool place,the staff is super friendly- the drinks are fantastic and I loved the sausage. Will definitely recommend!

Have a colleague leaving party , nice memory

No real queuing discipline on busy days and could do better with understanding who’s queuing for much longer. You eventually get there and served with a good selection of drinks. Outside space albeit crowded is a plus when the weather is good

So good so tasty！amazing service ❤️

Great place for a beer in Clerkenwell

A really gorgeous, proper English pub.

Came on a Saturday night - Serena , the bartender was brilliant !

What a wonderful pub and lovely staff. They were friendly, polite, attentive and kind. A special mention for our hostess Sirina who greeted us with the warmest smile and kept us entertained throughout our meal. Thank you to Simon, Sirina and the whole team!

Wonderful atmosphere in pub, very tasty cuisine . I also liked the staff service, they are friendly and will help you with your choice.

Really enjoyed popping in here for a couple of drinks and dinner. Clearly a very popular pub, the staff were friendly and helpful, and it has a wonderful ambience.

Last minute booking for a party of 14. The food was much better than average pub grub and exceeded expectations!

Lovely outdoor space, which we took advantage of on Sunday. Roast dinners taste home cooked, we added fhe cauliflower cheese as an additional side. Nice selection of craft beers, the highlight of our visit was the pub dog, Dave who was super friendly and enjoyed the attention recieved from us customers Highly recommend and will definitely return

A great, quaint English pub with a very pleasant atmosphere. The food (fish and chips) was fresh and delicious. The staff was very friendly but sometimes a bit disorganized. Food and drinks must be ordered at the bar, but are brought to your table. It's important to be aware of this to avoid long waits.

I was disappointed to find that this "dog-friendly" establishment seems to favor certain dogs—particularly the landlord's off-leash and rather aggressive one. Unfortunately, my leashed Westie was recently attacked, and instead of any accountability, I was met with a rather hostile response from the bulldog’s owner , who insisted his dog had every right to behave that way since this was "his home" as he owns the place. While I truly appreciate the kindness of the staff, I’ll be choosing to support other places for now—ones that prioritize the safety and comfort of all their patrons and their dogs. It’s unfortunate that what should have been a relaxed Sunday drink with a friend whom I haven't seen for years, turned into such an unpleasant experience. Thankfully, there are plenty of other welcoming spots in the area that I am looking forward to explore and support. I just noticed the reply from the pub rep...even though I hope this is a joke- it shows how little respect they have of the innocent and lovely creatures dogs are - something to think when you take your furry friend to this venue.

Amazing place to eat and have fun with your friends. The staff amazing and friendly! If it’s sunny even better to seat out!

Excellent pub Lots of history The staff are great very we looked after by Serena

Serina and the team always deliver exceptional service, the whole vibe and atmosphere is a delight. I always appreciate the professionalism of the staff and it's a blast coming here as a local. 👍 👌

Had a very nice meal and drinks with my wife in this lovely pub under the "Conspirators' clock". Waiting staff were great, served by Sirina and another gentleman who's name I didn't catch.

Great little kooky central London pub with so much character. Didn't eat here but so can't comment on the food However the service and the atmosphere was great. Will definitely return!

Serena was an amazing waitress. Made us laugh and feel good! The highlight of our visit.

Had a great evening at the Crown. Excellent staff who were friendly and knowledgeable. Great roast dinner by Cami and Alan. Excellent service from Vicki. Thanks guys!

They serve delicious beer :) nice pub in a great area.

Lovely place with such amazing atmosphere and energetic team looking after us. Sirina Hermione are both fabulous!!! Visit as soon as you can.

It's been 7 years, but we didn't forget the best Sunday roast in London. Good food, delicious wine (Mark West Pinot Grigio) and Serena, our now most favourite waitress in London, added the missing ingredient for our anniversary dinner. If we're talking about personality, Serena has it in spades. 🫶

I went to the Crown Tavern with a mate last night, and it was such a great atmosphere! The staff were great, especially Sirena (hopefully that's how it's spelt), and who's one of those rare gems you get to meet in life. Friendly, funny, and honest! Great place and I'd recommend anyone to visit the Tavern.

Tuvimos un tiempo fantástico, Vikki y Hermione en el bar dieron algunas recomendaciones geniales y fueron rápidos e ingeniosos. Recomiendo este lugar a cualquiera / todo el mundo!

Unreal staff! Give out free hats and beautiful bar staff

Love the atmosphere here! We were served by Xavier - he was really polite and the service was excellent

Came in on Sunday, Sunday roasts were fab! Vikki recommended the pork special and ut was definitely worth it, drinks are great too!!!!

Came in on Sunday for a drink. Viktor was really helpful in recommending different drinks. Will be visiting again!

Came in for a Sunday Drink, Vik made some great cocktail recommendations! Good time all round

Busy, cost pub. Great location. Limited alcohol free choices though. Clean toilets and plenty of seating.

Had a really great visit, Xavier was a friendly host and I enjoyed the chicken schnitzel

Went a few days ago for a quick drink with some friends and had a very pleasant experience! Bartender, Xavier was great and had fantastic chat!

Best roast potatoes ever!!!!! Big shout out the the chefs & such an amazing warming team. Always service with a smile and good vibes

Great find. Nice atmos. Really nice landlord. Well worth a visit.

Xavier served us and made us feel right at home, and the food was great too!

Heck. Contribute or no, nice to be back in here again, this pub, after a few years now, let's be honest. Price of beer has gone in between times. £6.30 for a pint of Suffolk cask ale today. Very tasty, it is what it is! Beautiful sunny day too. Winter sun. Not as cold as it has been, thank God.

Amazing location, some of the best service ever received! Some taps change on rotation so there is almost always something new to try.

We’ve rented the Apollo room upstairs for our baby shower for about 50 people! Everything went as good as it could! Lovely place, beautiful atmosphere! Vicky and Chris did an amazing job running it very smoothly.

We were really satisfied with the food (excellent burgers) and the drink! Very kind staff.

Very nice pub with good selection of beers and friendly staff

This was my work local for 7 years pre-covid. I visited yesterday afternoon with some clients/colleages and I'm pleased to say it's even better now. We had great friendly service, tasty food and even the prices were good value. It's a shame I haven't been for almost 5 years - I won't be leaving it that long again.

Los asados del domingo fueron fantásticos y sabrosos, también tuvimos un queso de coliflor muy sabroso. Tuvimos un gran servicio y el equipo era encantador.

Came to visit with friends, had an excellent meal and the service was amazing! Dave, the owners dog, made our entire night!🐶 such a friendly atmosphere to the pub!

Cosy historical pub, great Sunday roast, excellent host Alex

You need more cask ales. I'll be back.

I love the traditional pubs and it’s got such character and the surroundings were lovely. We had booked for Sunday roast for 5 of us. We had drinks and was recommended the pork belly can I say thank you for recommending it because it was delicious. We will definitely return

Apparently this is where Stalin and Lenin first met, no mention of it in the pub tho. Beer selection is ok, musics a little loud

Had some leaving drinks for our colleague. What a great pub and Sirena really looked after us what an absolute gem!

Sirina is awesome. Had my leaving drinks here. She looked after us, made sure we were taken care of. 20 of us here, 4 hours later and she is still looking after us!! She is amazing!!!

Gran pub de Londres. Una noche en la ciudad solo, no siempre obvio dónde tomar una pinta y una hamburguesa. Un saludo a Serena. Gracias.

Very nice place, excellent sunday roast, friendly service. The perfect choice!

Ottimo cibo e ottime birre, condigliatissima una scout locale. Abbiamo cenato qui con un piatto di salsicce piccanti ed un piatto del giorno di agnello Da consigliare

Me encantó el concurso de pub, venimos cada semana, la comida es muy agradable y hay una buena selección de cervezas en oferta. No podría recomendar más

We come to the pub quiz here often and love it! The food is good and the quiz is a really fun evening. It is a great spot for after work with reasonable prices (although a Diet Coke for £4 is less reasonable…)

My family and I are on holiday from Perth, Western Australia and we stumbled across this wonderful establishment on the way back from the local train station. The food, atmosphere and customer service were just amazing! Such friendly, welcoming staff, especially Serena, who has the most amazing laugh I've ever heard. She made my 10 year old son a couple of raspberry cordials which I believe is not on the menu and just made us feel so welcome. The same goes for the rest of the staff - everyone is smiling and happy. The food was lovely too. The whole combination of the above deserves the highest of praise and there are many places in Perth that could learn a thing or two about the high level customer engagement at The Crown Tavern. We found our local!

Great pub with epic food drinks and staff. Cosy as!

An excellent pub, I came with some friends for work drinks and had a lovely time. Great food and selection of drinks. The staff were charming and very helpful, in particular Xavier, who’s industriousness was herculean.

Really lovely pub, especially appreciated the bartender (think he was called Xavier), who really went the extra mile!

Had a lovely evening, we were able to order food and drinks upstairs, been before and wasn't able to do this, so it made a great change, Xavier behind the bar was excellent.

I popped in here for drinks with my daughter whilst visiting her in London. What a lovely warm welcome I had by the most charming barman named Xavier. Greeted me with a smile, some lovely old fashioned manners and a great pint to follow. Thank you

Sat upstairs with some friends for pre-Christmas drinks, lovely atmosphere and helpful barman called Xavier. He knew all about the history of the pub and the area which really added to our visit

The team was looking after us excellently. Our allergies were taken seriously and if food was arriving late we got an apology and explanation. We have enjoyed our Christmas lunch very much, will return!

Great place , great atmosphere great customer service Vicki was really helpful first rate drinking hole! Defo go again would look for vikki to serve us again

Great food and lovely evening out. Staff were friendky and we recieved great service ffrom Vicki. We will definitely be back

Really lovly staff Vicky was great helping me decide what meal to have she was really kind great customer service need more people like her

Booked the festive Christmas lunch for friends annual catchup. Had a fantastic time, the service was prompt and friendly. The food was of high quality, our requests for extra gravy or for Yorkshire puddings were all accommodated - without any hassle. Will definitely mark this in my favourites for London!

We often go to The Crown for drinks after work and when we found out they were doing Christmas dinners, we booked straight away. So happy we did, what an amazing night. Rueben, Chris and the team were super efficient, in total control of the organisation with the food and drinks. The food was a hit with all our team! A beautiful environment, the best service ever, with great food, we could not have wished for a better night. Special mention to Rueben 🎅🏼 Merry Christmas to all at The Crown Tavern! Thank you!

Really great pub. Friendly staff who can serve up a mean drink. Nice fish and chips and mulled wine hit the spot. Will definitely be back for more of this hidden gem.

Popped in here tonight on the way to visit my daughter. Xavier served me a great pint with some great charm. Felt very welcome. Thank you

Had a relaxed team Christmas lunch here. Was a really lovely event. The staff made us feel special, everything was super easy. Food was delicious and arrived when it was needed. Really enjoyed the afternoon thanks to the whole team for making the day for us

Food is great and the service is excellent Vikki was lovely and so helpful Would highly recommend

Cozy little pub with a great atmosphere, great food and drink recommendations from the bartender ( Vik ? ), will definitely be back !

On a very busy night the pub was bustling with early Christmas party groups but our small gathering of 4 people were made incredibly welcome and given especially attentive and generous service by the staff, in particular Ruben. Very nice food, lovely red wine and we were glad that we had chosen Crown Tavern.

We hosted a business lunch event in the Apollo Room today. The service was amazing and the room was decorated so christmassy! Great food, service and atmosphere. Massive kudos to chef Zoe and front of house Reuben for looking after us so well and especially to Zoe who managed to give us great food even though there was no gas due to a fault. She was outstanding!

Great food and service, well worth a visit.

We booked the Clock Room on the ground floor for a Class of 81 school reunion dinner. Ordered the Platinum buffet and ran a tab for the drinks. The food was plentiful (I have had buffets elsewhere where the food ran out quickly) and good quality. A good mix for omnivores, pescatarians, vegetarians and vegans. It was nice and easy to settle the bill afterwards. I checked the total, then divided it by the number of participants, then each person settled their share. No problems or drama at all. The staff were good humoured and helpful, and took all the obligatory group photographs for us too. We booked the Crown Tavern because it is near Farringdon Station, which is very convenient for nearly all London terminus stations and airports. The fact that the evening was a really good experience - drinking, dining and socialising (buffet format means everyone can speak to everyone) was a huge bonus. We will come here again.

Crown Tavern is a hidden gem in Clerkenwell Green. It’s a place where you can feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The decor is charming and fits the history of the area, but it also has a modern twist. The food is amazing! Every dish is carefully made and tastes incredible. They have a lot of different options, so there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty Sunday roast or some famous fish and chips, the food is fresh and delicious. I went there recently and was blown away by how well the food was made. The staff was also really friendly and helpful. They made me feel like I was a special guest. Crown Tavern is a must-visit for anyone who loves good food and a warm atmosphere. Whether you’re just looking for a quick bite or a special dinner, you’re sure to have a great time.

Bro this place is spenny af, although not surprising for the area its in🥴chips were pretty good, very vibrant chatty lively vibes

Cozy pub, candles definitely add to atmosphere, decent craft beer choice, l ooovely kitchen...

Only had drinks there. Lakki was amazing and the drinks he made were mind blowing. He was very polite and extremely quick to take order and deliver the same.

Went to the pub quiz, had a lovely time, great host and food can be ordered at the table with a QR code if wanted, and it was great pub food!

Great Service, good drinks, ok food. I like the place!

What to say about The Crown Tavern? It’s just the best pub in Clerkenwell/Farringdon!!! Staff are so lovely, and they have the most adorable pub dog, name Dave! Food is delicious, specially the Sunday Roast… Pork Belly is a win win for sure! A must place to visit, for sure, if you around Farringdon! ;)

Lovely atmospheric pub serving a great Sunday roast. Staff were helpful and friendly. The beer (Harvey's Sussex) was exceptional. Will visit again.

lovely pub, good food, just super expensive! pints are on the high end seven pounds / some going over the eight pound mark. completely would understand if it was in soho, or the city, but a tucked away pub in clerkenwell shouldn't be that expensive :(

The male bartender doesn’t seem to like Americans…..my wife and I on our first visit to London asked to be seated he responded I don’t care where you sit in a very condescending tone.
