Ye Olde Crowne in Hillingdon

'Proper local ' this review was for when the pub was Ye Olde Crown, NOT You! I have not crossed the threshold since you got it. I remember you saying ' what's that thing doing in here' referring to my dog when you viewed the pub.😠

In early October we had a family birthday celebration and around 30 - 40 people came. Everyone enjoyed themselves, the food was very good. The staff were helpful and friendly.

I would strongly advise don’t waste your time at this place. We visited for a business meeting expecting to enjoy a meal and a few drinks, but were sorely disappointed. The service was extremely poor, with staff being rude and displaying a noticeable attitude throughout our visit. To add to this, the cleanliness of the establishment was below acceptable standards, which is very concerning for a restaurant. I do not recommend this place to anyone. Customer satisfaction is key, especially in the food and beverage industry, and unfortunately, Five Rivers seems to be lacking in this regard. I hope the management takes these concerns seriously and makes the necessary improvements.

Brilliant pub,really friendly And the food....well mmmmmm top 🤤🤤

My sister and I went to Five Rivers last night for a quick pint and to our surprise a DJ was playing music and we decided to stay and had the most amazing time. The atmosphere was friendly and funky. The staff were attentive and the manager even gave us free shots. We had a fantastic time, dancing, laughing, and the vibe was right up our street. We will definitely be returning the next time we visit our mum. Thanks for a great night Five Rivers.

Amazing food - we loved the mixed grill taster and saag paneer especially. Staff were extremely lovely. Thanks to Abhishek the chef and the bar stuff who put the football on for us!

We ordered a takeaway from 5 rivers but I was disappointed in the mixed grill. The lamb kebabs were bland, the lamb chops were ok. The rest was just flavourless, no depth of flavour. Disappointed and won't go back even though I live really close.

Came here on a Friday evening. Lots of people in the beer garden, inside a few people watching sports on the tv. Staff were friendly and food came out quickly. We had the mixed grill with naan and lentil curry. It was nice, I thought it could do with a bit more flavour for a punchier spice but it was ok. The fish on the mixed grill was a great bonus.

Popped in by chance. Great service & excellent food. Highly recommend. What more can I say

The owner of this pub is too rude , dont know what why he has this type of rudeness , mate you re just running a cheap class pub not ruunning a millionaire buisness Be kind god bless u

We sat out in the garden to have some great food, the mixed grill sizzler was one of the best and the lamb Karahi was really good, full of tomatoes and flavour! Went the next day too!

Best pub I been so far. Food, Service and Atmosphere is top notch. Highly recommended

Food is generally and served quickly.

The worst pub, same owners from Three Tuns in Slough. Rude staff, management is rubbish. Too many drug dealers dealing and fights. Stay away, not ideal for kids. I spent over £100 and I wish I didn’t, my kids were sick and I also had some sickening from the chicken tikka. Cutlery disgusting!

Great local pub food’s tasty, cocktails are nice Johnny & his staff are exceptionally welcoming & friendly. Me & my friends were well looked after. Nice beer garden Great place for parties or get togethers.

Good food lovely cocktails service with a smile

Great food. Great people, great vibe

Amazing experience, recently went there to watch the euro’s. Amazing food and very friendly staff

Great new place to visit. Curry was a little generic but decent kebabs. I found the menu a little limited but a great place so far

Not great group of 6 visited for sunday dinner before going to the Beck Theatre shown to a dirty tables, had to ask them to clean it we all had burgers apart from one of us he had lamb cutlets asked for plain burgers with cheese they came with all the salad and dressing, and were very dry the lamb cutlets were tough as old boots food is not good. no idea what the curry is like, the place just looked dirty tbh won't visit again

The new ownership of the previously known Ye Old Crowne has completely transformed this pub for the better! Such amazing tasting Punjabi food. We went for a birthday meal and were so pleased with the service. Every single person from behind the bar to the waiters to the owner were so kind and polite. Service was amazing and the food was outstanding. Will definitely be making this our local spot for food. Amazing!! Thank you so much.

It was a first visit to 5 Rivers pub & dining but it definitely won't be the last. Friendly staff, great atmosphere & most importantly the food was amazing. Ordered Malai Tikka with lamb biryani which was succulent & tasty along with a good bottle of Malbec. I would highly recommend trying this place out.

A diamond in the rough at the moment. Renovation works under way. However the food was excellent. We went in for a quick drink and mixed grill not disappointed at all

Amazing flavoured Indian food. Lovely ambience and excellent service. Great new addition to Uxbridge road opposite Beck Theatre. My new go to venue in West London.

Extremely good curry. Very nice staff.

Love the food there , cosy place to sit and enjoy Best service by all the staff specially Jonnie ... Great place ...Good luck for future Will visit again

Great new place to have authentic Indian food.

It's a pub, it's a sports bar it's a restaurant. The football was on, when I visited, and was being shown on the screens inside. Quite noisy towards the front and towards the rear you have the dining area, which is quieter. The main draw was the food, which was very good. Will definitely come here again.

Let me tell you that this is an amazing place! We were a group of 16 people. Johnny (Manager) put us in the function room next to another party of 40. The pub arranged a DJ. We had such a good time! The food is absolutely amazing. The staff a very friendly and attentive. Their menu has so many options for veg and non-veg. It’s so reasonably priced as well. Even the drinks! Indian pubs are rated on their mixed grills. Trust me, this mixed grill was awesome! This is my new go-to place when meeting friends and family. Thank you Johnny and the team. I’ll be back soon.

We love coming here, the food is fantastic and service from Johnny is always the best. Just wish we could stay here a bit later until 3am rather than 1:30! Would recommend to anyone who loves an indian pub!

Johnny is the best host you could ever meet, comfort and hospitality is wonderful 💖

A bunch of 4 ....lets say 'mature'....ladies, had a great meal. The service was superb and we felt very comfortable, everyone very polite. Perfectly located for the Beck Theatre.

The food is absolutely amazing and the staff are welcoming and extremely friendly. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone local looking for a mix grill and a couple drinks.

I would definitively recommend this restaurant the food was 10/10 very tasty credits to the chef abi!! also the cocktails were lovely if your in the area definatkey give the place a try you won’t be disappointed

Good selection of beers and tasty starters. Great place to catch up with friends.

I met up with local friends here while visiting from California. I am very impressed with this desi pub. I tend to go to pubs for the beer variety and less so the food. I would say this pub is more of a good restaurant than primarily for beer. The food was excellent! Mixed grill, kebabs, chili fries … all the food we had was so tasty and well cooked. For the beer, they did have Beavertown Neck oil session IPA and an Italian beer on tap. The place was extremely clean and well run. The staff were very attentive. Also, seems to be a good place for families and kids. Again, would definitely recommend for food!

Food was first class, lovely flavour and a large portion. Had a mixed grill which was more than enough for 2 of us as a main let alone as a starter. Will certainly be returning

The food tasted great. They attempted service. However, when asked for an allergen menu that is advertised on their menu, they could not provide such a thing. Both my son and wife have allergies, my son could eat as that was easy to deal with but my wifes a bit more tricky and had to miss out on food as they left us with zero confidence they knew what they were doing and her food would be contaminated or cause issues. I will be reporting the establishment as, by law, they are required to have an allergen menu in written form available for customers.

Great place to eat near beck theatre great choice of menu very reasonably price food our bill for three of us £30 really cheap

Food was delicious! exceeded our expectations by far & it was super cheap! If we didn’t live so far away I would be coming here weekly, thank you

So happy to finally have a Pub that shows Footy and has a good level of food.

Oh my goodness I have just had the best Butter Chicken and Pilau Rice ever as a takeaway from Ye Olde Crowne in Hayes. This pub is under new management and I can’t wait to try another dish next visit from their Punjabi menu (see their website for the full menu).

Amazing place. Best food in town

Great food, really good service too.

We were trying the food for the first time since the change of management and what a revelation! We only ordered a meal between us as we weren't starving. The Tara lamb managed to be both robustly and yet delicately spiced and the pilau rice came as individual grains . . Wonderful ! We don't usually order naan bread, but the garlic and chili naan is to die for . . We will definitely be back for more

Ignore all the reviews prior to November 2023 as this pub is now UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT and serves Punjabi food (Indian) along with a few tasty looking burgers and any negative reviews are for pre this changeover. The management used to own the Three Tuns in Slough and the decor has been completely transformed and is bright and modern as well as being a huge pub inside - like a tardis. The staff are very friendly and there are a couple of huge flat screen TV’s showing sports a but not too intrusive. This place is well worth our journey to relax and have a tasty lunch and I would thoroughly recommend it.

For a pub is really good, maybe you need more chairs. I didn't try the food but the smell from the kitchen it was a bit too much. All smells possible and impossible there.

The food was absolutely delicious. The mixed grill was so good everything was cooked to perfection. The lamb chops and the Fish Tikka were great!

This has changed hands now, same pub, but with Indian food twist. Food was not to everyone taste I enjoyed the chicken tikka wrap but if your wanted the pub atmosphere nor there am afraid

Very happy with Johnny and also George who looked after the group from Kingsley Court Care Home. Very pleased with everything and the evening was very memorable. Certainly will be going back. Well done.

We are so glad that this wonderful Punjabi kitchen has opened inside our local pub. The staff are really kind and have given us lots of new stuff to try on the house with our orders. The chef also made an effort to introduce himself and thank us for ordering. We order for collection and visit the pub itself to enjoy the food and pleasant atmosphere. The big bonus for me is that there is a range of vegan options that my wife loves! Keep up the great work!

Our choir were performing at The Beck theatre and had spent the day rehearsing ready for the evening performance with Gareth Malone. We were all starving, so 40 + of us descended, unannounced, for food! The staff were amazing and quickly took our orders, found us a spot to all sit together and we were soon served our food, which was delicious! Outstanding service!

Brilliant place, very accommodating when a large number of us performing in a choir at The Beck turned up at 450pm for dinner. Wonderful service and food. I would have given a 5* but this site implies this is British pub food, as do ask the photos, but the menu is pretty much entirely Indian food which might not suit those who think it's traditional pub grub. Thanks for a nice meal!

Loved the food here so delicious 😋 the staff are very friendly and do all they can to make your visit enjoyable. Would definitely recommend the food we have eaten in and had a takeaway.

Fantastic curry and well worth a visit

Second visit, staff and atmosphere really family friendly. Food is great really recommend the mixed grill, but favourite dish has to be the Fish Tikka. Beers taste fresh and crisp. Nice chilled glasses. New regular spot for us. Slough's lose is Hayes gain. Keep it up Abhay and team. You have a new regular.

I visited this pub after the new management took over. I ordered mixed grill from here. It was sumptuous & had a decent quantity.It was totally worth the price. The ambiance is lovely. The chef was very friendly and helpful. Although it's a pub ,its more like a restaurant now. Its family friendly. They have a party hall which is free & has separate entrance . It has a capacity for 30-40 people.They have discounts for NHS workers too. All this was explained by the chef.

Great food and venue just need more customers as it's just opened

It's not a pub anymore; it's an Indian restaurant. No refurbishment has been done. Awkward layout. It's trying to be both pub and restaurant. Only one type of white wine behind the bar. I won't be going again. It's so sad to see yet another pub being turned into a restaurant. To be honest, I think there are more than enough Indian restaurants on the Uxbridge Road already.

We was the only one's in there me and my mate cider mark

Great experience and tasty food. Friendly pub, with great service and a great Indian food menu, very authentic, reminded me of home.

Nothing better than a three tuns mixed grill. Glad to have the chef here, great food

Excellent value for money good. The mixed grill was amazing 👏

Stunning mix grill, top service . Found the place by chance but will be coming back soon

Lovely food. Under new management. ✨️ thank you

The Ye Olde Crowne is under new management so thought I'd pop in to check it out. And have to say the pub had a great atmosphere very welcoming and the food was excellent a varied Indian menu and a good English selection so thought we would try a bit of each and wasn't disappointed. Abi the chef got to say your food is 10/10

This pub has recently been taken over by new management and it's made a massive difference. Food is excellent and the staff are friendly. Will be back again no doubt!

Under new management and decor Ye Okde Crowne on Uxbridge Road / corner of Landsbury Drive. Lovely food with chef Abi the chef! Really good will come again

Best Punjabi mix grill and chilli chips. Great atmosphere 👌great service, friendly staff and lots of space for get together with friends Thanks Abby for great service ✌️✌️

This pub has recently been taken over by nee management and what a difference it has made!!!! The food is unbelievably good, the best mixed grill I have had in recent times and the hearty Punjabi curries are to die for!!! Give it a go, you will not be disappointed!!!

New owners are great! Lovely food, perfect portion sized, fairly priced. music playing and football on the TVs. friendly staff and delicious food - the lamb chops were amazing!

Came in for some lunch on a Sunday. Brilliant food and staff , clean respectful very nice atmosphere very impressed. Abi chef and staff thankyou Took my dad and lil boy great food for all👍

Best food in west London. Great experience with mix grill , butter chicken ,tawa lamb 👌

Great pub! New owners. Shows promise. Their Gobi 65 was the best!

Under new management....hands down the best Punjabi food in the area!! We tried pretty much everything on the menu and we're fully satisfied. The service was awesome, staff were attentive but not on your back. Drinks selection is vast and priced well. We ended up ordering the lamb chops 3 times as they were so good! Cooked to perfection pink in the middle as a chop should be....hats off to the chef! Family friendly pub with a kids menu, highly recommend going here. Will be back soon!

Sports bar and grill under new management from the team who used to run The Three Tuns in Slough. Food is very good.

It's good to see the old pub with new life. Nice food and a good service. It would be good to see more women coming in .lots of food discounts on food

My wife and I came for a late lunch. We loved the food and the team from the Three Tuns in Slough and first time at the new place. It was quiet, but the food and service was still excellent, and look forward to our next visit.

Good food at reasonable prices. Friendly barman. Plenty of TV's to watch the football. Lack of real ales but a nice pint of Aspall's draught cider

New ownership, decent pint and nice Mixie food. Friendly welcome and service from Abhay.

I popped into Ye Olde Crowne today for my birthday drinks with family. Abi was serving us and the service was excellent and we were an impromptu party of 17. A great experience x

This place is amazing I been there for 3 of my birthday and my brothers too I have had my holy communion party there and so much more and the never let me down on the food and service amazing food I recommend to anyone. edit: about the holy communion party I had their I recently think that I could be either jewish or muslim instead.

Nice and quiet pub in the middle of a busy area.

No food. Ignore the reviews and the signs outside. We visited on a Thursday evening and no food was on offer. The lager was fine, though.

Now serving food Quality and good value Great for sports

Lack of management.. I was at the pub couple of days ago, took so long to get served and surprisingly it wasn’t busy at all. The owner went somewhere inside and didn’t come out for 15 or so minutes. This owner seems lazy, lack of communication and skills. I could see him pouring himself a beer and drinking it during work hours …but delays to serve the customers

Requested a drink at 22:43 and no one bothered to serve us. At 22:56 we was told sorry we rang the second bell. Two old men behind the bar and one went for a cigarette. I said it's not 23:00 and he said it was 23:00. Poor customer serve and lack of personality. Don't bother going here. It's boring and full of old men. Staff are not bothered about customers and rather go for a smoke.

I’m struggling to work out why the owner of this establishment has left this lazy personality less waste of space run this place Into the ground . This was a buzzing pub not long ago . Really sad to see. This will be a block of flats very soon . Terrible demise of the traditional English pub continues.

You can literally smell alcohol from the manager. He is also very disrespectful to workers.

Terrible pub. The manager gets drunk at work and is rude to customers.

Good food occasional live music

Great pub, warm welcome from the landlord and regulars. Had never been in before but was a lovely couple a hours. Lovely pub dog also Proper pub, proper clean beer and really decent prices Will be returning Thanks

Traditional pub to watch sports with the locals. Really friendly bar staff and food was acceptable.

A proper pub, proper decor, proper staff, live music(one guy on organ, not 9 heavy metallists) and Very reasonably priced. Top marks.

Friendly staff and a small tidy garden.

Really really friendly lady who serves you here makes you feel welcome.with her friendly face unlike other pubs locally where they look and treat you as if you're some sort of criminal without even knowing you. Nice pub would definitely recommend hope it really goes well for them they deserve it 🙂 not everyday you come across a nice person is it?

Great service. The landlord was a great chap and we had some unusual TV requests and he help out with every one. He also told my 5 year old grandson about the giant white rabbit and he was fascinated.

All I can say about this place is.... " No Comment " it was an " experience " visiting this place.... I leave it at that!

No food served, nice place friendly
