Lovely place, staff very helpful, not a lot of choice on the menu

The quality of the carvery was excellent and the chef serving was lovely. Pub has a very traditional country pub feel, which we loved.

We reserved a table for 12 and when we arrived, we found everything in good order. The waiter was a perfect gentleman and very efficient. He got all of the orders perfect and the food was prepared quite fast. He then checked back several times to see how we were doing. Very efficient and polite service. We will all be back in the future. We have never been disappointed in the service and quality of food.

Food was lovely, but service that night a bit hit and miss. Mixed up orders for starters resulting in a long wait for some party members and staff trying to clear starters before everyone had finished and as a result, mains probably stayed on the pass - steaks were warm not hot. Quiet night in the restaurant and had to go to the bar to request the bill as staff seemed otherwise occupied.

The food highlights were the beetroot Panna cotta, and the brownie with raspberry ice cream. The main meal of pear and roquefort salad was on the small side but perfect for a smaller appetite. The service was attentive. The only negative I had were some of the lighting is very harsh and doesn't complement the cosy atmosphere created by the roaring fire, also we were sat near to a really loud table of 4 which meant we left earlier than planned as we couldn't hear each other. I think when we were seated (it was obvious to everyone in the room how loud they were) we could have put into a quiet corner (it was an early booking), there were plenty of empty tables. It's a restaurant, not a private dining experience but, I think it could have been noted and managed.

The perfect English pub! This secluded place in the centre of the Woolhope Dome is in a unique location, too, as geologists and geographers will appreciate. The food and the service were friendly and excellent. The atmosphere inside is the epitome of the classic English pub. The views from the front are lovely. Approach it from the west on the narrow road over the hills and through the fairy-tale-like Haugh Wood. The Crown Inn and Woolhope are worth a trip to visit their own right.
