Having heard good things about The Old Crown, been meaning to try for a while, so today lunch with a couple of friends on a beautiful sunny day was a perfect opportunity. Staff friendly and we sat outside in the sun. What was a little strange was being asked to pay for food and drink when ordering, no tabs. So each time we ordered more food and drinks we had to pay. Can only guess they have had problems with "runners" but Girton is a lovely small village on the edge of Cambridge, can't remember every being asked before. Aside from that the food was as good as anticipated, Nepalese is my new favourite. What is really nice is being asked for how spicy you wanted it, for each of our choices. The only slight disappointment was that the starter I really wanted to try, Choila, wasn't available although being on the menu on the website and printed copies in the restaurant. The owner came around and asked how our meal was (nice touch), so had the chance to ask. Apparently was because it had been so rarely ordered. All in all was excellent and will certainly be returning soon. Highly recommended.

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.

I had Pokhareli fish curry - beautiful flavours with good quality white fish that didn’t disintegrate. You can choose what level of spiciness you want for each dish as they are made to order. It can take a while for food to come (as it is freshly cooked), and it’s worth the wait. I found the naan exceptional and me and my partner both said our peshwari naans were the best we’ve had. The staff were particularly friendly and helpful; and the setting is attractive - a large refurbished pub restaurant space with tables inside and outside. All of our group of 4 loved the food and ambiance. Good size portions, delicately flavoured and well priced.

We stopped in on the off-chance, as we were visiting Girton anyway. And what a good decision that was... The staff are very warm and welcoming. The food is really good - we especially loved the veg momo's. Plus, it's interesting to talk to the staff about food in Nepal, and lovely to see their obvious pride in the cuisine. All in all, an excellent night; thank you to all the team!

Spacious, modern, and warm with at least three distinct areas for people who primarily want to watch the footie, live it up and be seen living it up, or catch up with friends over dinner. It really is everything in one, with good Indian-style food, too.

The experience started before we even got there. Rang to double check if it was dog friendly and where we could find a copy of the menu online. Yes dog friendly in the bar area and we were messaged a photo of the menu. When we arrived there were no free tables in the bar so because it was still quiet we took the dog into the first table in the dining area. He was made to feel very welcome with a bowl of water and a large bowl of treats. We were also made to feel very welcome and having not eaten Nepalese before we were given a very informed guide to the various items on the menu. Nothing was too much trouble and if we did order something that was maybe not spicy enough it would be taken back to the kitchen and more spice added. This was not necessary and following advice we ordered and had a fantastic meal. The food was gorgeous and the service exceptional.

Sadly really disappointing Nice staff...very helpful 2 of us ordered crispy squid that came uncooked and soggy. The 2 nd batch were the same so we changed to Mushrooms The server told us they buy the squid in and microwave them. Not what we wanted to hear sadly. The goat curry came with hardly any meat in , just bones. My lamb for £14 had 5 small pieces in it. The general heat as in spice heat was not there at all despite being asked how we wanted our dishes. Generally disappointing The toilets were really grubby with overflowing bins and dirty sinks

The service was good and the food generally OK although a simple salad that is adorned with stale chewy parmesan crisps and what appeared to be bought in croutons (so simple to make and store) is poor. HOWEVER our experience was spoiled by repeated yapping dogs and the large number of noisy and unruly children that overwhelmed. Viewing a dog urinating in the garden may be tolerable but to see a child doing so with the assistance of parent is less so. Parents seemed generally unconcerned at the consequences their children and dogs inescapably have on others. Management seemed ambivalent, indeed children were actively encouraged. Whilst this may be regarded of commercial benefit, at what cost to the loss of more profitable others who are then deterred.

My wife and I were away on a week's trip through England as I played 3 golf Tournaments. Everything was planned except or our evening meal on the Wednesday. We found the Old Crown via the Web and called to check they could accommodate us within about 20 minutes. There were excellent in their response. We had an outstanding meal, with excellent service and they dealt with my wife's Gluten Free requirements with ease. We had a table inside as it was a little cool by that time. Very pleasant decor and background music. We enjoyed the food and service so much that on the Friday we chose to go back to the Old Crown for our Lunch before returning home in the north. This time we had our meal on their terrace outside. Their two course set lunch was just like you would see on a trip to France " Prix Fixe". Well worth seeking out.

Visited after Daffodil Festival in nearby Thriplow. We didn't have a booking and they very kindly squeezed us in anyway. The inn is beautifully and tastefully decorated. Lots of little details to spot everywhere including a cartwheel. Fantastic selection of books and games, you could definitely spend an afternoon here relaxing and nibbling. Separate children's menu. Was delighted to get an unexpected and delicious amuse bouche. Roast dinner was best I've had in a while. Huge Yorkshire pudding which had sage and onion in it for a lovely touch. Generous portions and well cooked. Very happy that we could get extra veg or gravy on request! Daughter had pasta she enjoyed and ice cream. I was driving so really enjoyed non alcoholic cocktails. Look forward to returning to try the regular menu. Staff were lovely, service very speedy despite them being incredibly busy! Highly recommended

First time in the area and had a delicious Sunday Roast at a very reasonable price. It was beautifully presented and service excellent. There is a wide selection of good pub food on offer . The building itself needs a bit of tlc but the landlords are doing what village pubs should do . Great atmosphere too .

Came for a meal with a group for a friend's baby shower. Cannot fault the meal, delicious roast, cooked fresh and good portion size. However, the service was somewhat to be desired. I can excuse slow service on a Sunday when demand is high, but when servers/staff are rude, it's not acceptable. We had a waitress come over to our table and as she left she spoke to another waitress and put her fingers to her head (in a gun sign) and laughed, whether or not this was about our table, not professional at all. The lady who took our payment at the bar took the final payment from one of my friends, when my friend queried that there was something on there she hadn't ordered the lady said "that's not my problem." Terrible attitude. Shout-out to the chef though who came out to check everything was ok food wise, he did an amazing job cooking for everyone when the pub was clearly, very busy. Edit due to response: "2 more people added" was 2 children, due to being let down by childcare, the table we were sat at was a bit of a squeeze for 16 adults so we simply asked if we could have 2 extra chairs, for adults and 1 highchair for one of the children as the other one was able to squeeze onto the bench, not a massive ask I would say! I can appreciate things taking longer than anticipated during busy periods however, this was not communicated in any which way when it came to drink orders, in the end 1 drink didn't even turn up and we had to get our own tap water and cups. I can vouch for everyone at the table that we were more than patient, and nothing but polite to your servers, even when they rolled their eyes at us and, as stated in my original review, gestures were made to one another. It's disappointing to be left with a reply which takes little accountability, as stated previously, the food tasted incredible, it was just the way in which we were treated which left us with a sour taste.
