Three Crowns Inn in Charnwood

They are great but DO NOT trust the hours posted, they close whenever they feel like it.

Had a booking for 8 on Sat evening, we were seated in the bar which was a bit noisy. Had kids with us so the occasional colourful language may have been heard. Food was nice, had to chase a few times for starters but once the ball was rolling it was good. Good tasting, could do with more options on the veg sizzler i.e. paneer, mogo, fake strips etc Nice for a Sat evening away from town

Great food, great atmosphere lovely staff

I’m not going to lie I came in with my wife and son to celebrate that we have got a new house in barrow after years of trying. We had the loaded tikka fries and a chilli and garlic bread it really was amazing.

Absolutely love this pub! They’ve rebranded and have an amazing Indian menu and the food is outstanding and the owners are so friendly and welcoming.

Lovely pub atmosphere and the food was on point. Catered to all our needs when we asked for slight variations to dishes etc. Service was second to none. The waiters couldn't do enough for us and made the experience worthwhile. Will defo be visiting again

Some of the best Indian food I’ve ever eaten and the staff are amazing, friendly and good service at reasonable prices. I highly recommend visiting either to watch the sports or have a drink and food.

Went for a meal to this pub with family. Was served by a man named Vishal. Absolutely amazing service. Catered to each individual’s demands. A true representation of what exceptional customer service should be. Thank you Vishal. Will definitely be visiting again when I’m around the area.

Went back to pub since new management takeover, didn't have food, but service and atmosphere much better than the two takeovers previously. Maybe the clientele may be difficult to change, however they are trying. Has since changed back to an. Indian restaurant again . Didn't enjoy food on this occasion, however they hadn't quite finished changing over. Will try again sometime and hopefully there will be an improvement.

Excellent quality food and service.

The three crowns hosted my 40th birthday party.Catering for over 20 people for my celebrations it was absolutely faultless. immaculate starters and mains all cooked and bought out in perfect timings. We are always well looked after here and hands down believe it’s the best food for miles! Fantastic staff and great atmosphere!!!

Perfect Punjabi Pub Grub! Home cooked Punjabi food, relaxing atmosphere, chilled beer, sport on the TV. The perfect Saturday night relaxing and enjoying a sizzling mixed grill with family. Greeted by the owner Bups and looked after and served by a great team of staff! Thank you for your hospitality, we will back for sure!

Picked up some Indian food. Excellent!!! Had a beer while we waited. Attentive staff

Fantastic food, especially the tandoori mixed grill, staff great and really friendly

Food was excellent but very small portions for the money. Initial order was taken in good thereafter you had to go looking for the waiters. Music was fairly loud you could not have a proper conversation.

Went in for a mid week meal and was fantastic. To start we had onion bajhee and the crispy chilli mushrooms. The bajhees were some of the best flavour wise, could have been a little crispier but only a little. The mushrooms however were amazing. Zingy chilli sauce, lovely crispy crunchy fried texture around soft mushrooms, recommended. For mains we both had chicken tikka sizzling platters. Came out smoking hot on a bed of onions. The chicken was juicy and tender with a great rich flavour and just the right amount of spice. On the side we had a bowl of madras sauce, spicy, rich and moreish. Also a garlic naan which was light and fluffy with a nice crust to the edge. Then a bowl of fries which were super crunchy and perfect for dipping in the curry sauce. Drinks a little keenly priced at 13 for a beer and a wine, but where isn't these days. The food however was great value at 7.5 for a main. All in all a great meal

Excellent food but overcrowded way too much

Brilliant food. Great atmosphere.

Just had our first meal here and will definitely be back. Lovely food, good prices and very friendly staff. We are impressed first time customers. A+.

What a terrific night great service great food nothing to much for the amazing staff highly recommend and will be going back very soon

Beautiful food service was great. Booked for Mother’s Day and a birthday event. Lovely atmosphere, went with my husband and the service was great. Even nipped in today as enjoyed so much with my 5 year old. see you soon

Amazing food and lovely staff at the three crowns. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an authentic indian meal.

Really lovely meal tonight I can’t fault it. Six of us ate there tonight - absolutely beautiful starters, main and wine! Love the special crispy aubergine. Service was amazing.. Fantastic place to have in barrow we will be going again soon!

Amazing food from start to finish! The best king prawn starter I’ve had in a long time and the sizzler was amazing all the meat cooked to perfection. My partner had a curry and fresh naan was spot on! Great value for money. Great atmosphere will Definitely be back!!!!!

Just been for food had chicken jalfreizi and chicken kadai .it was amazing..so much chicken..We couldn't fault anything

10 of us went for dinner the other day, the food was amazing, we all had different things and all the food came out at the same time. We all said it was the best Indian we have tasted in a long time. The staff were really attentive and the atmosphere was lovely. Will definitely be going back and ordering a takeaway. Thanks for a fantastic evening.

Meal for two in their restaurant part. Very good top type indian food (Punjabi) Good choices and fair portions at fair prices and attentive service. Definitely a cut above our usual curry type meal For all you cold people. Pleased to say the Restaurant was toasty warm.

The first one of our monthly tour around Leicestershire curry restaurants what a fabulous start to the year ! Not had better food anywhere over the last couple of years Just superb 😘

The new Indian food is really tasty and reasonably priced. Great to see the pub thriving again - just what Barrow needed. Will deffo be back!

Excellent new Punjabi menu! Leicester has some of the best Indian food in the country and normally I go the golden mile to get my fix. How lucky am I to have the crowns on my doorstep. The food is fab. I had the chicken madras with a chilli cheese naan. My wife went for butter chicken and peshwari naan. Mixed grill to start was excellent. Looking forward to seeing how the menu grows!

I wasn’t going to leave a review however I responded to a friend with an honest account of my experience last night on one of the pubs Facebook posts and they deleted the comment. I feel it’s only right that negative comments are seen as well as the positive. The food was beautiful, I can’t fault it however… We had a table for 2 booked for 7pm, we arrived at the same time as another table for 2 who also booked for 7pm and we were met with “Sorry there aren’t any tables at the moment would you mind waiting” We ordered a drink and waited to then be told by another member of staff “There aren’t any tables” and “There’s not a lot I can do about it at the moment” In hindsight we should have left at this point but didn’t, we got seated at around 7.30 and only because I suggested they move a table as a table for 2 were sat at a table for 4 of 2 tables pushed together. We were meant to be table of 3 but my mum was unwell and it’s a good job because she wouldn’t have fit at the table lol. We were then left with no offer of a menu, and ended up getting our own cutlery. In the end we were given one menu to share between us.. and the other table that came in at the same time as us also had to share our menu. When someone finally came to take our order we had been there near on an hour. During the experience I received the wrong drink, the wrong curry and one poppadom between 2 of us.. we had to ask for the other one. I do want to stress that the food is absolutely wonderful however the whole ordeal left me stressed when it was meant to be a relaxing evening. We did voice our concerns and I didn’t accept the offer to change my curry as we had already waited far too long and it was getting late but I was incredibly disappointed. We also turned down a free drink because this wasn’t offered until the very end and after 15/20 minutes of waiting for the card machine to work and to be honest we were ready to leave a long time before that so didn’t want to stay. Also I’m not sure if they have a dessert menu as this was never offered… The 2 women next to us had an even worse experience. I had to ask for their poppadoms for them and when their food eventually came to the table they had their starters and mains arrive together with no plates or cutlery. Once the busy period died down another table of around 6 men joined and they got their food before them! The excuse given at the time was “it was extremely busy” and it turned out they had given the tables away to walk ins. This to me is an unacceptable excuse and the only reason we stayed was to give it a chance and it was too late notice to book somewhere else. The experience we had means we won’t be returning for food which is a great shame because it is delicious and it’s one’s of our locals. I am only sharing my experience because the pub is deleting comments on social media and I think it’s only fair people are able to see a true reflection of the pub and are not tricked in to thinking this is a 10/10 restaurant/pub because it’s far from it (I really didn’t want that to be my opinion but I have to be honest)

Fabulous meal, the best Indian food we have had for a long time. We had the crispy mushrooms as a starter, they were amazing. I would share a photo, but didn't take one because I couldn't stop eating them! Samosas, Sizzlers and chicken tikka biryani were lovely, the service was great and everyone made sure that we enjoyed our food. I would definitely recommend the Crowns as a place to eat and drink and we will definitely be back. Thank you!

Fabulous meal, great service. What a brilliant addition to the village. Will certainly return, book in advance it's going to be busy

Excellent new curry menu . Food was delicious , freshly cooked ,popadoms and dips , meat sizzler , butter chicken ( the best I have ever tasted ) tharka Dall Nann and rice . Reasonably priced and nice atmosphere service was friendly and I’m sure they will speed up service once they get used to a new busy restaurant ! Can’t wait to return !

Hidden treasure! Nothing is to much! Food is unreal! Service matches that!

Had the most amazing paneer jalfreizi, could tell it was home made, so tasty and nicely presented. My husband had Lamb rogan josh and he said it was really good too. It was popular too as it was busy for a Wednesday evening. Well done, a nice Indian restaurant in Barrow 😍

Tried out the new curry menu and was very impressed! Food and service excellent and reasonably priced for top quality. Hardly ever write reviews but this one really stood out. Great welcome from the staff too!

We didn’t know what to expect, having never eaten here before but with a new menu we thought we would try it out. There were no other diners there when we got there which after eating there and knowing just how good the food is, is such a shame! Once people start trying it out, I have no doubt that this place will be heaving every night! Because honestly, the food was the best we have eaten in a long time! We had prawn puri and tikka paneer to start. Both were incredible but the prawn took the ‘crown’. For mains, my partner had the chicken wings which he loved and I had the prawn goan curry, I can’t remember the specific name but this was just so so soooo good! We had I think three drinks each, I had double gins, and the whole thing cost less than £80, which is an absolute bargain. The three staff on shift were an absolute credit to the pub. We only got Danielle’s name, she was super friendly and provided great service. The other guys on shift were also very attentive and knowledgeable. Quite a long review, and to be honest, we never write them, but we truly believe that this place NEEDS to be tried out, you won’t be disappointed!

We only popped in for a pint! We ended up having crispy chilli mushroom and onion bhajee starter. The portions were great and the mushrooms tasted amazing. Followed by butter chicken masala, this was the best I have ever eaten! My OH had tasty chicken kadai. My Roti was delicious too. Everything was home made, tasty and hot. All brought to us with The Crowns usual service with a smile. Pic really doesn't do it justice.

The place is now under new management and they have started offering a new Punjabi menu from Jan 10th. Being massive curry fans I went with my wife and children on the opening night! We're quite fussy about our curry's and have been struggling to find a place locally - we normally have to go to Melton Road to find somewhere up to scratch. I can honestly say the food we had was fantastic - I had a lamb kadai - the lamb was very tender and flavoursome with really tasty sauce. My wife had paneer karai, and that was equally good - she absolutely loved. If you like curries, I can't recommend this place enough and we are planning to return very soon!

Found out by accident that it had reopened, needs advertising and promoting.

The staff were really friendly We were served drinks pretty quick. A order of ravioli was ordered only for the waiter to return as they had ran out of ravioli. A lasagne was ordered and he came back k again....we don't do lasagne any more. Another order was placed. Bread and oils should be soda bread but fruit bread was bought instead. This was corrected later. The meals were okay but lacked the spice they had in the title. Attention to detail is required. Good atmosphere and full bar selection.

Booked a late lunch. With it being Sunday full menu not avaible so I went or the beef, hubby went for the trio, One other table of people in there (group)food took a while to arrive but when it did.............couldn't eat the roast beef it has was chewy and full of gristle, husband did a swap my beef for his pork and chicken. Even he could not eat the beef, unlike him. Quite a lot of beef went back to the kitchen! Wondering if we had the leftovers. Anyway, on a positive note, can't fault the service we had . Not sure we wiil return, had high hopes

Been to the three Crowns many times prior to the new management... It was good before, it's even better now! We had an amazing Sunday lunch, whilst listening to a great band "Junk Yard Cats". Would definitely recommend, we'll be going again.

Friendly pub on High St. The male bar tender today (Saturday) was the most professional and friendly bar team member I've come accross in years, and trust me I visit many many pubs , quite excellent customer service skills. It was only due to the lack of vegan food options ( they had a couple, just didnt want those ones ) that stopped us from staying longer. Would return based on the great service level

Had a great Sunday lunch here. Friendly attentive service; food was fantastic, and very reasonably priced. Best Sunday roast I've had in a while. Nice cosy atmosphere, and some good real ales on tap too. Pub has changed hands once or twice recently, but judging...

Nice cosy atmosphere, and some good real ales on tap too. Pub has changed hands once or twice recently, but judging by this things are definitely on an upward trajectory. Well worth a visit if you've not been for a while...

Great food and service especially from Mandy and Vishal. Would highly recommend. Atmosphere in there is brilliant.

Sunday lunch highly recommended. Coffee for 2 served in cafetiere, excellent. Service by Danielle and Millie was very pleasant, nothing too much trouble.

Went today for Sunday lunch with my husband. We were put off immediately when there was only one other table of people in there. Was shown to our table and had to ask for it to be cleaned. I had roast beef but couldn't eat...

I had a tandoori chicken burger and it was the best burger I have had in a few years, my dad had a pie of the day and thought it was delicious. The service was phenomenal and enthusiastic, which impressed us all. Looking forward to going again.

Excellent, friendly service. Quality food. Huge portions. Value for money.

Went to The Three Crowns with a group of friends on a Saturday lunchtime. A very warm welcome, great food and unhurried environment. Pub has recently been taken over and well worth a visit. We all had various burgers and a scampi and chips.Meals were...

Lovely food and great service. Really nice atmosphere in the pub and good value. Definitely worth a visit.

Cosy little country pub. Pub classics A must is the tandoori chicken burger burger bun with the hidden extra of a onion barji.

Visited here on a Saturday evening and the service and food could not be faulted. The staff were friendly and were able to accommodate a late order of food. We were not rushed and the food was served without delay. The food was excellent, super...

We booked here with a group of friends to celebrate a birthday, the staff were warm and inviting. The menu had lots of choice and our meals were delicious….it was cleared plates all round! We’ll definitely be returning!

Great food, fair prices and great staff

Lovely Sunday lunch roast beef , trio of meats and roast pork , ask for and given extra gravy which was lovely staff really friendly our dog made very welcome ! Perhaps do sauces when people Order as took ages to get them . Will...

Wellbeing walks organised by Charnwood Council start on a Tuesday at 10:30 from the Three Crowns Inn car park.

Just tried the burger best one this year!!

Friendly staff couldn't do enough for you. Food was plentiful and very tasty. Good value for money.

Went for lunch here today. I had three courses for £20.00 my husband had 2 courses for £15.00 OMG it was amazing, fantastic value for money and every course was so so nice owner and chef were very nice and made us feel so welcome will be back again when in the area thank you

When I've visited my friends in Barrow I have always visited The Three Crowns. Today was the best visit. The food was delish. The staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

Absolutely loved this place. Food excellent. Beer very tasty. Will certainly return.

New management has done wonders, fantastic staff and incredible food. Lovely pub garden that gets the evening sun too!

Food took a long while to arrive. Wasn't impressed when it was served ! ☹️

Staff lovely after our order 30 mins later told us we could not have chunky chips only French fries with fish not my ideal choice then looked at bill found we had paid 6 pound for pint of lager sorry we are not in London...

Good food with a varied menu.Helpful and friendly staff. Nice old pub in a lovely location. What's not to like?

This used to be a friendly village pub but has now gone so far upmarket it has lost its charm. Very expensive and impersonal although the lady on the bar was very nice. I will only rate it 3/10.

Now under new management. The staff were fabulous, the food was excellent I had the haddock, my husband had the pie it may sound ordinary but believe me it was first class. I had the mix berry Eton Mess for dessert I was surprised the...

Firstly, I want to say how friendly the owner is, and I desperately wanted them to make of such a lovely pub. But, it seems that this pub is being run into the ground. It looks so sad, tired and unwelcoming compared to under the...

A bit disappointed. Looking forward to an authentic, tasty indian meal but instead had a very mediocre curry sauce covering some rather undercooked mixed vegetables. The restaurant was rather cold and the rather annoying heavy beat background music didn't lend itself to having a relaxing meal.

Unfortunately this once popular cosy friendly village pub is not what it was since changing hands . It appears that the original locals have moved on too. The people that were there were loud and noisy making it difficult to hold a conversation. You would...

Indian curry no popadoms no Nan breads no idea absolutely nothing good about this place will not be going back that’s for sure

Paid £40 for 2 Sunday lunches which were served on plates 7” in diameter, the food was very mediocre at best , will not ever return ever!

Lovely curry, great staff and service really enjoyed it. Would go again and recommend it to others..

Lovely food. And lovely staff. Would definitely recommend

6 of us met here for an anniversary meal, it was absolutely amazing. The staff and food were fantastic, a mixture of English and Indian, you didn’t let us down, Thank you so much xxx

Great meal tonight at 3 Crowns, the Curry dishes were superb… good value. Will have again, can also get as a takeaway order, so will try that too. Well done guys

Disappointing revisit when we brought friends along on a Saturday night. Having had such a good meal on our first visit, we were keen to go back. We'd had a chat with the manager and pre-ordered a Lamb Biryani, admittedly this was not on the...

So good I've been three times this week! The food is delicious, not greasy at all, and so morish. portions are bang on too.

Such a friendly set of owners. They all make an effort to talk to you when you come in. The food is great, try the Samosa Chaat, it’s delish.

Quality. Food was brilliant, service was exceptional. Catered for a new born. Would definitely come again.

Visited today for Sunday lunch and it was incredible! There were ten of us all having Sunday dinner and the service was great and the food was even better. Huge portions. All of the meat was tender. The vibes of the place are great and...

Lovely couple of pints with me workmate and friend

We ordered 2 curries and a fish and chips takeaway today £38. The fish and chips were £14 and I can honestly say I could have had better from Tesco for £3. The curries were cold we had to microwave them and the rice was...

I've just returned from.my first dinner at the new Three Crowns and can honestly say that this is the most authentic and delicious curry I have eaten in.a very long time. The emphasis here is on authentic - do not expect your usual curry house...

Why not go to Weatherspoons instead? The food is the same, (fresh out the microwave), it’s 1/4 of the price and you might get some decent service there!

Came here around a year ago and was really nice so decided to come back here not knowing it was under new management. I don’t think I’ve had a worse meal in the last 10 years, absolutely terrible. I get that it’s mainly curry on...

We had a curry served in a tiny pot. There was no spice and in reality it was less than a starter portion. Most restaurants serve bigger starters. There was nothing authentic about the curry as the spice was lacklustre. Portions are ridiculous, we dread...

Lovely new people running this now and we were supremely impressed with the superb Indian food. Get down there, it's great!

Very tasty and authentic Indian food, good beer, lovely people running this place now. Highly recommended, support your local pub!

Speechless. I can’t believe what’s happened to the place, now I know that places change but my God this has changed for the worse. No soul in the place, no atmosphere, no warm welcome that you used to receive when you walked into the restaurant,...

Came here with misses to the three crowns wanted to stay local in Barrow, food was great would definitely recommend. Had a few cocktails, very unique and tasty

Very pleased to see this place thriving! The new owners have kept the pub charm that still doubles as a sports bar and separate dining area. They’ve made it their own though as it’s brighter, more open and fantastic menu unlike any in the local...

Lovely food. Friendly and attentive service. Went with a group of good mates and they found us a table to watch the Tigers games and even cooked up some special offers for us. Great night.

1st time in since new owners took over. The beer and Burger night was well worth it, good burger both in meat & veggie options, staff were very friendly and welcoming. Chatty and interested in seeing people come in to "check them out" I am...
