The High Crown in County Durham

The company who own this pub must be desperate for managers because the people in there now are appalling, Saturday night and you have a female member of staff sitting at the bar eating takeaway food, the service is appalling, the atmosphere is not good you have almost as many doorstaf as customers needless to say I will not be returning in a hurry.

Cheap and cheerful in the heart of Chester-Le-Street. You cannot easily beat the prices and with such a good location it is on of the pubs to visit if you are in town.

Last Sunday I had two pints of carling it was very nice pints many thanks 🍻

Under new management, easy access, wheelchair friendly with proper disabled toilet

What's not to like..so beautiful

We ordered our drinks & my drink was wrong so I told them what I had ordered which I had made clear at the time & the bar maid was so miserable & literally bashed our drink down on the counter,absolutely disgusting, she was miserable & the customer service from her was appealing, I would be seriously thinking about who you are employing

Ruined by the Newcastle United bias on their windows....I'd urge all SAFC fans to avoid

A bad pub with awful service. On the river wear but with Newcastle badges on the front. Don't enter unless you're a charva

Absolute dump, weird how they think that any normal person would want to look at pictures of some football club owned by Saudi Arabia. Avoid at all costs unless you like the smell of gravy. Far better pubs to visit in Chester, avoid at all costs!

Worst pub in Chester le Street . Avoid.

It was a wet quiet day but a few people in - lad serving was great - it's a pub I normally visit Friday/Saturday and it's enjoyable

proper daytime bar friendly staff good background music

On a recent visit to the area, we needed to find somewhere to watch the football, (important game my partner didn't want to miss). Friendly but, £3.15 for a pint, couldn't go wrong.

Not changed since I was a teenager. Decor has been updated but feels the same. A typical pub

Went in this pub for a quick beer and stayed for a few more as we liked the atmosphere they had fantastic music on and everyone was friendly

A good place all round, no complaints!

Would definitely not recommend this place to a dog, the bouncers are horrendous, and really need retraining the bar staff are only friendly to locals and to be perfectly honestly the bar is a mess the toilets are just disgusting and unkempt floor is sticky and the atmosphere is tence if you are not from the area. I really wouldn't even bother.

Myself and some friends came here to watch the womens football. We asked if they would put it on for us and they did straight away. We sat in a little section where there was seating and we had the area to our selves. There was some regulars in the other side who we chatted with. Staff are friendly. Had a great night.

Pub , drinks ,more drinks. Depends how many drinks you've had on how good it seems. ;)

Good beer, good company, nice and warm, great prices. What more could you want?

Just called in for drink one sat night good crowd in cheap drinks friendly atmosphere would definitely call again

Cracking pint of Coors, cheap as chips. Good craic with the local lads. Great bar.

Always the best for late night boogie and banter. Friendly staff and well tended ale rather than just the poor quality stuff associated with many late evening venues.

Lovely food and Chantelle the barmaid was great

Great pub,, great staff...Good atmosphere...

Keeps changing management but the new one is very friendly and serve a decent pint

Very welcoming good place for a drink and chat with friends 😊

My god what an experience . Everyone was high as a kite fights all over never again would I set foot in here

Friendly pub drinks a good price good TV coverage

One of the bar staff (male) was effing when we went in on Saturday night. Really disappointing

This is now an Indian restaurant and very nice it was. Went as a birthday meal and both the staff and the meal were excellent. Will definitely be visiting again. Booking recommended

Very good and very nice. Great.

Nice pint with happy people great to get back to normal

Excellent, selection, good prices, very friendly staff, the best pub in Chester le st

They have track and trace in place. It's cheap. What more could you want for a pub in 2020?

Safe and pleasant. Service good. Drinks well priced. Security at weekends. I visit a lot.

Lovely staff a nice drink and friendly atmosphere

Great place, friendly staff, highly recommend set menu.

Polite staff and lovely pint of fosters lage

Pleasant and welcoming staff. Very friendly

Great staff, no wait at the bar, good environment. Good night. Well priced drinks.nwill definitely be back xx

Excellent pub, gorgeous landlady, luverly Sunday dinner, Keith.

Always a lovely drink in the crown. Good value drinks, good atmosphere

Genuine people's public house... Ales and wines reasonable price, service could be a little better I had to wait and wasn't acknowledged by the young bar man... It's most important to invite new customers as soon as possible.... In these times a customer missed, is a customer lost.

We went to visit friends and this pub is amazing so welcoming and friendly staff are brilliant so good we went all weekend ....had roast beef sandwich on Sunday to die for definitely be back who needs Newcastle just go here .

Good atmosphere and good selection of beer at reasonable prices

Alcohol drinks are a very soft beers mixed up with water likely

Lovely friendly owners and staff!

Seems like staff like to serve friends and ignore other punters shame used to be a good place, looking tired and dated even after refurb and there’s more people in the Chinese than here very quiet guess just for friends

Very good nice pint friendly people

Bit boring and really small now not as good as it used to be.

Do youse Muppets know what time it is .

Just had Sunday Lunch delivered for the 1st time after a recommendation from a friend of my parents. Outstanding!! Food was hot, really tasty and came in huge portions. Lovely crunchy veg, soft and fluffy puddings, beef was super tender and I had 3 lovely slices of it. This may have been the 1st time but it most definitely won't be the last Very impressive

Barman was miserable and only wanted to serve his friends

Best pub in chester high street

Good people good beer and free WiFi.

Cheap drinks in Chester-le-street and a quiet place to have a drink or play pool or darts

Called in a couple of times now, after cricket, first time there was a minor scuffle, second time able to enjoy a quiet drink.

Nice pub but did have a strong smell of urine

Lovely staff. Barrel of laughs in this pub all the time. Recommended. Plus my lovely brother works their too.

Great Sunday dinner such good value

Great pub music and bar staff very helpful doorman polite

Ladies toilet is a death trap. Wet floors, I slipped went down, feeling some sore spots and soon did another woman did the same. Reported what happened to a member of staff and the manager, neither showed any corse for concern. So be aware

Amazing atmosphere, didn't want to leave at all, best pub in Chester xx

Beers fine. Reasonable selection. Facilities average.

Great place to people and have fun.

Open til late. Attracts a trendy crowd. Looking a little run down of late. But compared to other local bars its ok.

Loads of drunky monkeys on a Saturday night.. great pub, good service..

Nice place to meet for a drink. Food is nice and good value

A traditional pub. With a warm welcoming feeling. The history behind this old building is extraordinary. Definitely worth a visit.

Great comfortable cheerful environment

Roudy lot, always bother and the pints are poor

Mint for a 1 am rave with all the nanas

Great atmosphere, quality music, open late
