The Old Crown in South Cambridgeshire

Barman was weird and made us feel uncomfortable. The George next door made us feel welcome

Barman was a bit weird with us when ordering, then later on we moved inside when it got chilly and he made us feel uncomfortable. Don’t feel certain comments were necessary. We didn’t feel very welcome, sad considering we liked the pub garden and our pints.

Fantastic food, great value for what was top end food. We had a good mix and I also had a special request (having lived in Nepal) and they went out of their way to arrange it. The service was very, very attentive and supportive. I really appreciated it but some people may want it dialled back a smidgen. Not a complaint at all - I thought it was fantastic. Everything was explained so well and the staff were always available. Again, the food was great - I especially loved the momo sauce but it was all good.

Went for a family lunch. Food is Nepalese. Food very tasty and in large quantities and staff are good to alter spice levels depending on preference.. Recommend the large mixed grill. Service prompt and friendly. Will be back!

We came for the Nepalese food, and it was very tasty. Service was also nice.

Excellent food and fantastic staff, I recommend the Goat curry and Chicken Rum Rum.

Wondering food, great staff and nice environment 👌

Really good food and lovely staff! Also good value for money. I enjoyed the regular mixed grill. I’d happily recommend :)

Really good authentic food, pleasant relaxed atmosphere and lovely helpful staff !

All the staff were so friendly. Made sure we were so comfortable for our meal, nothing was too much hassle. Food was delicious, so fresh! Will 100% be returning again soon. Lovely place!

Excellent service, and a great starter platter. We enjoyed our naan bread and rice but the Run Run chicken curry didn't quite live up to its 'un-missable' description and the Chicken Balti seemed too creamy compared to any we've had before. However all the staff are lovely.

Delicious food and excellent service. Thank You.

Nice relaxing place with good parking. Beer is good, food is delicious, and staff are wonderful.

ABSOLUTELY LOVELY, the food, service and atmosphere were brilliant

Only popped in for a drink but couldn’t resist trying the food so had the onion bhajees. They were utterly delicious Lovely friendly staff and cosy pub atmosphere

Absolutely fantastic dinner. A real surprise to find such authentic food. Sub manages the tables with charm and efficiency, the rest of the team is delightful too. Excellent range of dishes and very good value.

Amazing food - lovely staff. Super nice pub!!

Delicious food and great service

The food was lovely and the staff were very friendly and attentive, will definitely be going again!

Fantastic meal at The Old Crown, Girton. Manju our waitress was wonderful :)

A mouthwatering delight to the taste buds. We were a party of six on the Saturday after Christmas and the Old Crown at Girton was pretty busy but the service and attention was first class. The menu is a masterpiece. An amazing selection of dishes, reasonably priced bar and super friendly staff and management all combined together to make it a most memorable occasion.

Lovely birthday meal for our table of 6 - including variations in level of spice for different members of our party ordering the same dish! Thanks to Angela and Munjula for excellent service 😀

Extremely polite and attentive service. Great food and beuitful place to spend Saturday evening with friends and familly

Very good food, friendly staff. Thank you!

Amazing service and authentic, tasty curry. Highly recommend.

The food is amazing in this place and they have a great selection of beer aswell! The rack of lamb is amazingly delicious and the "showmanship" of the steaming plate added a nice touch of atmosphere. Accompanied with great friendly service we had an amazing experience. Two little things to point out however is the "very mild" option for the rum rum chicken was still at a medium-high spicy level. Secondly the garlic nan felt like it was lacking in garlic taste, but the coconut naan was something else and it was amazing.

We came to visit family friends in Cambridge, and stopped by this restaurant, we had a great experience both in terms of food and in terms of service.

Great food, great service and great prices.

Really lovely staff, and food was amazing, really great price for quality of food! 10/10

Excellent food and atmosphere food well priced too

Fantastic venue, absolutely deserves five stars for everything, Family meal for 10 on 14 December, the wow factor from everyone! We’ve been coming to the Crown for many years but this was our best visit so far, will be back very soon 🤩

Very lovely food and a very cozy atmosphere. :)

Great nepalese food, a lovely gem of a pub

Great friendly place with excellent food.

Best chicken curry had in years 🙂

Fab Nepalese food! Service amazing. Put up with my work crew!

Great dining experience! We shared a platter and some sides and it was delicious! We would highly recommend!

Amazing food and service. Momos and chili mogo was the best highlight here.

Great food and really good service. Would highly recommend

Great food, you can tell it’s made fresh!

Managed and run by Nepalese serving good foods. Naan and chicken chilli were the best parts of my dining. It's probably the best soft naan I had so far in Cambridgeshire. Chicken chilli was surprisingly soft and delivered the Nepalese taste. Rara prawn curry had a bit of British twist, but it was tasty and went well with the soft naan. Reasonably priced menu and a good hospitality despite being a bit understaffed. Some recommendations to the management: 1. Chocolate fondant, which was tasty, can get better using a quality dark chocolate as it needs to be like molten chocolate lava, which blends with the ice cream. 2. If possible, please lower the sound of the telephone and never leave it unattended for long. :) Definitely visiting again. Thanks.

Visited with frends who's local this is, the pub is very pleasant but service was slow, although when asked for the 2nd time if we could order we received a complimentary side of attitude, the Nepalese food though is stunning

Food is great, service is great. Very clean. Definitely returning

The chilli mogo was really lovely, just the right spice. The daal was also very good.

Good food and drink. New owners really know how to cook! It's neat, clean and tidy. Nice modern setting inside.

I recently visited the restaurant and was very impressed with the quality of the food and the atmosphere. The grilled items were particularly authentic and delicious. The staff was friendly and attentive, especially Bilal, who served our family. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience, and I would rate the restaurant 9/10.

Had an amazing meal. There was just the right amount.

Good setting and service. Food was nice, not amazing

We had a very memorable experience here. The food was lovely, we had the curry’s and chicken wraps. It was reasonably priced. The staff were very nice and helpful. We will definitely be back soon, as the menu is certainly full of choice and variety. Can’t wait to go back. The atmosphere was nice and decor.

Very good food. Good curry, and nice service. We will come back!

Absolutely beautiful food, I can highly recommend The Old Crown

The food is amazing. The staff and service are very friendly and we will definitely come back here. I can highly recommend!!

Fantastic never had Nepalese food always curry, this is much better highly recommended.

Refreshing to find some different cuisine in Cambridge. Had a delicious lunch with my dad and will be back again to try more of the menu.

First time visiting since the change, food was by excellent, drinks were served immediately after ordering. Toilets were out of order but despite being 6pm on a Saturday there was someone out fixing the issue (seemed to be the drain) and they were back in service. Will definitely visit again

Night out with friends the place was packed.service was good food very varied the xl mixed grill is great as a share with a curry.what I found amazing was the speed the restaurant emptied. we would definitely recommend and we will return.

The butter chicken was wonderful! We were in on a Tuesday evening and the service was great!

Very VERY tasty, and gluten free!

The food was nice. The waitress Manju was amazing. Very professional and made our meal very enjoyable.

First time in the pub and food and service simply first rate. We chose a range of dishes mainly Nepali and shared tastes amongst the 4 of us. Great attention from front of house manager/owner. Definitely now a favorite choice for Cambridge

Beautiful pub and the Nepalese food was absolutely AMAZING! Thank you

Top notch food service. Manju and Angila were great and very cheerful.

Great Nepalese food, good service

Really lovely meal at the Old Crown, Girton. Fabulous service, great food and made to feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend and will no doubt be back soon.

Lovely place to have a meal atmosphere and staff were very friendly and couldn’t be more helpful. Food was also delicious and prices very good. Highly recommended!

Lovely staff couldn’t be more polite

Great food lovely staff good value and good atmosphere!

Sadly, a disappointing experience. We had to get up from our table twice to try and get someone to take our drinks order and ask three times for someone to take our food order. My food consisted of 5-6 prawns on a dish of sizzling onions that were half raw and a side of rice. The marinade of the prawns was nice (rara prawns) but that was about it and I went home hungry, main was £14 and rice £5-6. It was busy and we were packed in one room which was quite loud, the table next door managed to get moved to another side of the pub.

Very good indeed I recommend trying the restaurant it’s very good particularly the service

Really great food - enjoyed the meal lots

Amazing meal , excellent food service too Very clean and food was so fresh

Exceptionally good curry. Recently changed hands to be a Nepalese Curry Restaurant. Best curry around in our opinion as locals who’ve been in the area 20+years!

A Hidden Gem for Nepalese Cuisine – Highly Recommend! The Old Crown is an absolute delight for anyone craving authentic Nepalese food. The lamb shank is simply outstanding – tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. It’s a must-try! Every dish from the chef’s specials menu is amazing. We had the Himali Lamb, Chicken Rum Rum, Khasi Ko Masu and Pok Fish Curry. Recommend it all! The service is just as exceptional as the food – friendly, attentive, and warm, making the whole dining experience even better. If you're looking for great food and a welcoming atmosphere, I couldn’t recommend The Old Crown more!

Fantastic Nepalase food, chicken rum rum is a must to try. Highly recommended!

Cracking place. Great food and service was super. They were very keen to make everything great. Highly recommended!

Visited for the first time that it's now serving Nepalese food. Great tasty food. Attentive, friendly and helpful staff. I had the Pokara fish curry which was very good. Will definitely visit again. They also do takeaway.

So refreshing to have the crown in Girton back on the map! Food fantastic, staff equally as good. Will be back next Friday.

Absolute belter of a place, food, drinks, service are all great, definitely worth a visit or two, first time for me, won’t be the last. Thank you

Lovely atmosphere sitting outside watching the sunset and eating delicious food. Great service too!

We came after a friend recommended the food and it was so good. We shared a mixture of starters but the momo and chilli mogo was the best. The large mixed grill main was so big and could easily feed a couple. The curries were all so different and tasty. Sides were good sizes and the chilli chips were so good. The staff were very friendly and offered recommendations. We will be back and would recommend.

Loved the food! Good beer and a great play area for the kids outside

Just had lunch here, WOW the food is AMAZING and very reasonably priced, definitely returning again.

Updated review, from previous. New ownership of this well known pub and restaurant. Well what can I say, first off. We were greeted by friendly and helpful staff. A really great menu, Nepalese and traditional English food and a great selection of drinks. We went for the Nepalese, which you can have adapted to your pallet, if you don't like it to spicey, the food was absolutely amazing. I would recommend you give it a try. 10/10 For food, staff, atmosphere.

Our first visit here. Very impressed! Great service and delicious food. We'll be back very soon!

Absolutely spot on lovely bit of food Great atmosphere, great location and a park for kids couldn’t ask for more

Good food 😋 much better than before

Delicious food, happy to please. Lovely service and would recommend.

Excellent momos , shaslik and authentic goat curry. Highly recommended!

Excellent food with great flavours. Super friendly staff who accommodated all requests without fuss.

What a great find! Food was delicious and service was excellent. Definitely a new favourite.

Great Nepalese food (just a bit different to usual Indian) in a great pub. Fantastic addition to village scene but worth coming to from much further away too.

Wonderful tasty food. A great range of options. Staff were great. Nice atmosphere, cosy and welcoming. recommend

Really nice curry in a lovely village pub! Attentive staff and delicious food.

Great place to eat. Lovely staff and delicious food.

First time trying Nepali food and it did not disappoint. Service was great and amazing food.

The food was absolutely amazing, staff were polite and well mannered. The pub itself was spacious and aesthetically lovely. 100% recommend.

Remember to book because they are surprisingly busy.

What a wonderful Nepalese meal I had, it was absolutely delicious! Had the Biryani, the nicest I have ever had! Plenty of choice of vegetarian and vegan also..they said all their vegetarian meals can be made vegan. Friendly service, and really delicious food. I hope they are really successful. Girton is lucky to have such a great new resturant in the village! Will certainly be going there again.

Great food and great service. We will definitely be going back.

By far the best curry I’ve had in years! My husband had the XL mixed grill and he said it was worth every penny. Good food, great beer, great prices, lovely staff. Extensive vegetarian menu as well which makes a nice change for a pub.We will be back!
