The Old Crown in Elmbridge

An utterly bizarre experience. No music or noise to speak of, so the room was deathly quiet. Despite this we had to get up to get our drinks and ask for our food order to be taken from the 3 staff leaning on the bar. Food is expensive and horrendous. £100 for 4 mains and 4 drinks, we couldn’t wait to leave

Lovely lunch. A thimble of coleslaw was a shame, but the rest of the food was tasty.

Nice old pub. Lots of space to sit outside by the river. Bar staff are friendly. The pub has two bars, but only one was open. The open bar had entitled Weybridge locals sitting at and around it, and it seemed that when you wanted to buy a drink at the bar, you was a inconvenience to them and not welcome in “their pub.” So won’t be returning so the locals can enjoy their entitled lifestyle undisturbed.

Great beer, great food, friendly staff. Brilliant lunch. And the river looked calm.

A real pub with such a warm welcoming atmosphere. I used to be a regular many years ago, and was not disappointed going back. Well worth the return trip, and the food was great as well.

This looked like a lovely riverside pub with quite a good pub grub menu.Had to go in through the saloon bar,which was crowded with locals.Squeezed through to the lounge bar,which was empty.There was a notice on the lounge bar,to say Order at the other bar.My husband fought his way back through,to get drinks and a menu.He came back with a basic menu,nothing like what was on the website.No vegetarian option,nothing at all on the specials board! Decided on a jacket potato with prawns an sausage,egg and chips. It arrived,with no offer of sauces or anything.Nobody came to check we were alright,or that the food was okay. The sausages were burnt,and the jacket potato was undercooked and very unappetising.At over £16 for a jacket potato,I was expecting something special.

Great Shepherd and Neame pub right on the rivers edge. Lovely place to sit out on a sunny afternoon.

Great food, friendly service and good vibes.

Lovely pub with large beer garden on the upper deck looking over part of the river or you can walk down to the lower part of the garden and find a spot closer to the river

Right on the Wey River. Too lovely in the summer. Looks to be cosy and wonderful for cooler weather indoors with a bar that extends the full length of the establishment. With little nooks to sit

Amazing. Be back soon! My best friend introduced me to The Old Crown after bringing my sister last summer and I love this place. Very friendly and cool staff.

Family atmosphere, staff are great and the outside space is lovely.

Lovely setting, really nice on a sunny day. Enjoyed a drink down by the water!

Great traditional English pub , serving great British beer , and superb pub food

Looked open when we stopped but no food served after 7pm so we were very disappointed! I would suggest to extend time for food to avoid having only drunk people after 8pm

Popped in for a pint. At over £7 a pint won't be popping back. £7.10!!!!! Even the staff were embarrassed. You shouldn't have to be embarrassed.

Went for lunch to celebrate our 31st anniversary (coincided with Father's day). We love this pub, food is good, friendly staff and regulars, but it has become quite expensive to visit regularly; over £90 for roast beef and drinks for 2 people.

Great friendly service and amazing food at a great price

We love this local unpretentious pub, on a summer day, the riverside location is lovely with the small and pretty pub garden so nice. Please old crown van you get in some better quality alcohol free beers? Heineken is not good, thank you.

Great boozer , loads of out door space , by the river , good ppl , good service , nice landlord & lady , recommend it for any occasion - a pint £6.10/20 but great location and lovely when the suns out .....

Beutiful, proper British pub. Fantastic food. Locals seem to love ❤️ it. We, as visitors, love it 😀. Can't wait till our next boat trip to go back to the crown and Weybridge.

An excellent riverside pub! Quick service even when busy and very helpful staff. Sat in the sun with a cold pint watching the boats go by is a lovely way to spend the afternoon. Perfect. Just perfect.

Completely no nonsense proper pub. It you want scratching and beer. Never eaten here. So can't score that. Does Courage on tap both best bitter and directors! Old school.

An excellent welcoming local. Cosy with exceptionally well kept ales. Staff pleasant and efficient. The food also looked good and good value,

Beautiful place .and the sweet lady behind the bar Beautiful service

Stopped in to check this place out ahead of a month stay in the area. The staff was friendly as were the dogs (😍). I sat outside as it was a beautiful day, the diet coke was refreshing and The Old Crown Special is one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. I put the salad that came on the side on the sandwich, but the u gradients were fresh and it was perfect for an outdoor meal on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I’m looking forward to coming back! Editing to share about the wings and burger since I’ve been back. The wings are as good as I’ve ever had outside of the US, they’re not breaded, the sauce has some heat- probably a medium level. It also has that slightly buttery finish that wings should have. I would maybe ask for them to keep it in the fryer for an extra minute next time, but that’s just a preference- many people don’t like their wings that way, they were perfectly cooked with some crispiness. AND, they have ranch for dipping! The burger was great, I don’t order a lot of burgers, but this one was well seasoned and hit the spot.

A quaint and accommodating old pub, in a building dating to the 17th century. Five distinct pub areas, including a cozy small room, the regular bar, and a lounge suitable for watching sports or for larger group events (all three of these have fireplaces); also a glass roofed conservatory and lovely outdoor garden areas including Riverside dining when the season is right. Friendly, accommodating staff. Very good food - the burger was excellent - and a pleasant walk from Weybridge high Street, or a nice stroll from Walton on the Thames tow path. Couldn't ask for more than that from a wonderful local place!

Amazing place near to the river

We come here often for a toast after a walk. We love the toast sandwiches. They are fresh and with great ingredients. And chicken wings! We enjoy the service and ambiance. They are always friendly and helpful. Great place and highly recommended! Sander

A traditional pub with a nice conservatory. A good solid Sunday roast. Near the river, so you can go for a walk afterwards.

Lovely riverside pub. Met friends for drinks here, nice and friendly atmosphere.

Very friendly staff. Beautiful location it's one of those old pubs, fire on the go ,just good vibes all round we didn't try the food so can't comment...

The landlord was grumpy and had a lot to drink, refused service for no reason- even after a sensible conversation. Staff understood that the landlord was “often like this”. Staff members seemed fed up with his behaviour. Landlord ruined our evening, calling my best friend a “stupid idiot” right up in her face.

Will go again. Excellent value mi

On my visit . Food was not upto the price tag ..but lovely settings

Characterful pub with lots of outdoor seating including some down by the river. We only stayed for one round of drinks and to use their old-fashioned outhouse urinals.

Lovely food and excellent ambience Highly recommended. Good service. Perhaps could have had bigger range of draught bitters. On A sunny day sit by river.

Really lovely old pub by the river. It sells real ale and excellent lagers. Very friendly customers.

Lovely riverside pub. Plenty of outdoor seating, some right by the water. The service is friendly and the indoor area looks really inviting and comfortable. Good selection of drinks and a fine compact food menu with all the usual dishes you would expect, from fish and chips to sandwiches. The location is brilliant for walks along the river and there is free parking nearby.

Good food, good service, fair price for pub lunch. My friends loved the crab.

Had a lovely walk a long the River, went for a drink at the Crown before walking back. Great Atmosphere due to a band playing.

Simple food done really well. And a good pint to wash it down with. Greeted with a smile when we entered what more do you need.

Lovely place to eat and drink, on the river. Friendly staff great service and atmosphere.

While we were working in this area this was a lovely little traditional pub that we would visit. The locals are friendly and so are the staff. Situated on the river, you have a beautiful view of the water and little boats with plenty of outdoor seating that is also under cover. The beer was spot on, I didn’t have food but it looked nice. You might have a job parking as it’s quite a popular spot.

We stopped for lunch and the sandwiches were delicious and well presented. Friendly staff and a lovely riverside setting.

Great pub to watch the Rugby with a pint & a packet of crisps!

Good traditional pub with a good atmosphere and friendly staff. Food is good, simple pub food. Cod and steak were cooked perfectly, and my friend enjoyed the sausages.

Welcome and anticipated stop for 7 friends walking the river. Arrived in good spirits but were "barked" at by the barman when ordering sandwiches (which were delicious) WHITE OR BROWN THAT'S ALL WE'VE GOT ! Continued on that vein Sullen, unsmiling, cold and off hand. Should not be in a front facing role if he hates it so much. Fair enough not every one has the skill required. While I'm at it loos cud do with an upgrade. Perhaps that cud be a job for him. Hope we beat you at the cricket.

Food was undercooked and probably frozen and microwaved. It came out within 10minutes definitely not fresh, gave it back to be “put in the oven” and it was brought back again within 3 minutes. Overpriced drinks which are flat beers, I’m sure they make the price up as they go Service is poor and served by kids Avoid at all costs

It took us quite a while to find this pub as we had to search for it a day before our booking, however it was nice for it to be near a river plus the river wey. When we got there on the day of the booking which was father's day we were able to sit at our table 20 minutes earlier then we had planned which was nice. We didn't realise that they weren't doing table service so that was a bit annoying as we had to keep going to the bar when we wanted something. When we got the main it was gorgeous, the food was cooked really well and it tasted brilliant. However one of the 4 meals that we had was a little bit cold. When we had finished our mains I had to go to the bar to say we wanted the dessert menu, however they took longer then we had hoped for them to clear the plates. The puddings were really good, they tasted brilliant and were just the right temperature. The only issue with them were that they were a little bit big after having a huge lunch. My only advice would be that they consider having table service properly on offer just in case. The staff were quite good and they seemed to enjoy what they were doing, they were always there if we needed anything and they did bring the food out to the table which is the good part.

Another great pub on the river, part of our preferred water based pub crawl route now! Lovely beer garden with a small area to tie up a boat, burgers were delicious, service with a smile, and doggo friendly. Can't wait to go back.

Old classic pub - just like they used to be! Very standard menu. Excellent beef sandwiches. Good ale. Cannot fault it.

Great old fashioned pub. Nice garden. Good beer and food

Nice location, plenty of outdoor seating, both covered and open.

Absolutely gorgeous sandwich had for lunch here. Nice pub and nice surroundings

Always a reliable meal and nice decking and garden by the river.

Always a friendly welcome. Love the outside space especially on a sunny day. Mark runs a great pub 👍

Kitchen closes at 15:30 on Sunday 🤷‍♂️

I have never been here or will ever go there after own staff set fire to there own house or living quarters - staff selling and taking drugs.

Not hygienic, Not friendly, Run down, poor cleanliness, a disgrace, do not drink, eat food or consume liquids here, the FSA has been notified to inspect.

I don't leave reviews often but this place is so BAD that I had to make sure that public knew about my terrible experience. Staff are rude and clearly they get it from the management and owners. Overpriced and the pub is a dump. It stinks of urine and dirty animals. I would not eat or drink ANYTHING FROM THIS PLACE! please do yourself a favour and avoid this OLD DISGUSTING CROWN @ all costs!

What a disgrace. If you want to be treated like you don't deserve their disgusting pub then eat or drink here. The food is absolutely awful not to mention their over priced drinks. Please do not waste your time and money here. Not only will you feel unwelcome but their owners will go out of their way to make your experience unpleasant. Intimidation is the name of the game and will leave you feeling like you made the biggest mistake entering this establishment. Unhygienic and dirty. Eating or drinking here is more then a hazard! Staff are rude and clearly wish you were not there. A facelift would be a waste.... demolition is a must. Don't support these rude and money hungry owners that do not value their patrons!

No music, no open fire, very dilapidated and in desperate need of a renovation, smells damp, this pub seems to attract strange characters, the food is over priced and made us sick and ruined our next day, not returning with friends and family.

Lovely local pub with amazing staff.

Lovely tradutional pub, nice staff and atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

Lovely meal with grandchildren after a wlak along the river kid friendly warm welcome.

£6.30 for a Guinness which was poured to brim in one go. The head collapsed instantly and it tasted bad. Then their dog started barking at me like I was an intruder. I will not be returning.

Its a lovely old fashioned pub, food and everything good. Just lacking the extra mile thing to make it stand out from the crowd.

Proper traditional family run pub with a great choice of excellent pub food

Love this place. Simple food served well. Great little garden on the river. Come here a lot on my bike, which can be brought down into the garden area. Decent beer and great location. Give it a go. Update : this has been a fab place for years. It's high standards are set by the super friendly owners who choose their staff well. Just had one of the all time best Sunday roasts. The beef was as close to perfection as it comes. Guinness is now the best within a 5 mile radius. No idea how they maintain the overall quality as such reasonable prices.

Home made food, properly. Lovely

Very nice to go back after so many years and greeted warmly by the Landlords

I've heard good things about this and been meaning to go for ages. Today we managed it. I don't think it's insulting to say it's an old fashioned pub. It wasn't what I was expecting, it wasn't hip with pop music and a theme. It was just a good old fashioned pub. The menu was a laminated A4 sheet of paper and that's where old fashioned ends. The food is excellent. I had a chicken burger, it was possibly the nicest chicken burger ever, not a breadcrumb in sight, it was zingy with thyme and herbs, too much rocket ( but only because I don't like rocket!) My friend opted for an omelette, swapping the ham for mushrooms, and she ate the whole thing, it's been a long time since I've seen her clear her plate. We rested then moved onto pud! A very nice brownie with very nice ice cream, and a strudel with ice cream. Again, 2 cleared plates. 2 very happy eaters who will be back again.

Proper pub friendly fab garden by the river

Great authentic old English pub in Weybridge. Got frontage and access to the river Wey during summer too. Not amazing for kids.

Pukka place huge out door space perfect for summer time. Mooring is easy and stairs are non slip Great service Lovely pub all round

Always a good pint and a friendly welcome

Very friendly staff with lovely food.

We were treated really poorly. Ordered three coffees with alcoholic beverages and were scorned by who I assume is the manager. She loudly entered the kitchen to mock us with her staff and was extremely rude when bringing them over. They are obviously not keen on new business!

I haven't been to this pub in ages but it hasn't changed, still wonderful!!! Great staff, great food and a first class pub.

Nice pub by the river pretty pricey but nice 👍🏻

Had a lovely lunch yesterday. The apple and raspberry crumble was delicious. The food and service were excellent. Always had great meals here. Thankyou

Visited on a Friday evening, pub was busy, service not al all good. Food was disappointing, steak and kidney pie turned out to be steak and mushroom and Hp sauce was a year out of date, when I pointed it out to staff member she just grinned and walked off, didn’t bother with desert. Don’t think we will be returning

For those who want that poorly lit, comfortable, homey bar feeling. This is it. Doesn’t try to be sophisticated and doesn’t need to be. Just a relaxing atmosphere with a solid drink selection and quality made bar food.

After passing this Pub so many times we decided to pay a visit . So glad we did lovely setting right on the River ..The staff were very friendly & food excellent already set to return & introduce several friends to The Old Crown .

Beware this pub. The website version is not the reality. On the plus side the food was acceptable although the menu was very limited. The negatives were the pub dogs that were allowed to roam under our table and nose into the women's handbags. A neighbouring table drew the manager's attention to a dog having urinated (or worse?) on the restaurant carpet. No wonder their Food Hygiene Rating is dated 2013 - nine years out of date. When we went to pay we were presented with the amount but no itemised bill. Then when we did ask they claimed they didn't have the technology to produce a single bill and offered two separate handwritten notes. We will not be returning any time soon ... and probably forever. I am obliged to give one star but it doesn't deserve even that.

Unfortunately the real experience didn't measure up to their website. A real disappointment. The visit started off well but rapidly declined. The food was generous and exceptable. However, 2 dogs appeared within the eating area and although we are dog friendly they were left to their own devices. No owners appearing.Eventually discovered they were the Landlords dogs and left to roam amongst the tables while customers eating. Later saw staff clearing up from the floor something that one of the dogs had left behind. Absolutely disgusting to see this in a food area. Upon leaving to pay the bill we were not offered a breakdown bill only a bit of paper with no detail. Queried that they did not offer a detailed bill and told 'we are old fashioned'. I would avoid at all costs.

If no stars were an option I would give none. Went today for a family lunch and ordered a large amount of food. The price they were charging we were expecting more than a handful of dried over cooked chips with a tiny tough steak for £18 each. When I queried the price and the food quality and portion they offered my money back after I sent it back to the kitchen. The chef then came out to where we were seated and said the manager had called and demanded we give the money back and don’t come back as we were no longer welcome there. The chef then told us the manager cut the food portion and put the prices up and it’s “embarrassing” as the chef said. Absolutely disgusted with how we were treated and the manager didn’t even come and speak to us themselves they sent someone else to do their dirty work. Mark and Yvonne need to close the pub if they can’t afford to run it how they advertise it “quality food” - I wouldn’t of even fed my dog the food we were given. Such a shame.

Great location and food, dog friendly garden, nice to make believe the boat was ours for a while too

Has lots of outdoor seating including a few tables right on the canal. Lovely to have a drink by the water.

Fantastic local pub with garden on the river. Great family run team, with awesome food that keeps getting better.

It was so cool what a awesome local pub and it’s right on the river it was beautiful felt like I was walking into the old cheers

Nice river side pub, lots of outdoor seating, there's even a few parking bays

Good food for fair value, staff were friendly and the setting is lovely.

Lovely quaint pub with lovely staff

Only food is a roast,in this weather?

Another lovely visit for Riverside Lunch. Yvonne , Mark , family and team always look after everyone so well. #properpubs #properpubgrub #riversidedining #realales #support local #suppportindependent

Lovely walk the view is fantastic and people are very nice and helpful would recommend it

Superb little pub right at the river with a garden and a great selection of beers. Food menu looked very appetizing too, will definitely be back for that!

Superb, friendly, cosy, so nice, we Like it very much, always coming a long way from Germany to join in :-))
