The Crown Inn

Went there 22nd of february a table for ten my my 70th birthday .Been in hundreds of restaurants in my life but this was one of the worse . we were presented with the very limited menu and approched three times in two minutes asking if we could hurry up and order as the chef was waiting to go home . this was at 7 pm!!!! after being badgered to hurry up we were presented with sub standard food .My three inch square of wafer thin steak looked lost sitting on its own. and when i asked if anything accompanied it i was presented with a dozen mcdonald like fries 15 mins later after the steak was cold . i asked if they did a side salad and was then brought a small bowl of just iceberg lettuce!!!!!!! My family didnt fare any better either . Thank god my son brought a birthday cake in of we would all have left hungry and dissapointed .. Ten tiny inadequate dinners ,and i use the word dinners loosely for £ 300.No wonder the chef wanted to get home quick before the complaints started rolling in.No one complained as they did not want to spoil my birthday surprise but it was outrageous and i dont know how they get away with it.Give it a wide berth .i saw it got good reviews.. Who by i wonder? People who have never eaten out before. I could have been worse i guess if it hadnt been my 70 th birthday and been my 90th it could have been my last supper

Bloody Marvellous. Booked in for a night. Lunch in the garden. The magnificent flower displays create secret gardens so that you can isolate yourself, although it was busy. That’s the case when a pub does something well, it gets popular and as the regulars pack in it creates unexpected demands on the staff. When we were there the friendly staff coped superbly always on their feet and dashing to & fro to keep folk happy. They achieved their goal. Service like that only comes from dedicated management. The same goes for the gardens which are spacious – all kept neat clean and tidy by professional staff. Car park too was litter free. Seat cushions are put under umbrellas at night to prevent them getting wet and all get replaced the following day. The evening turned out to be a repeat of lunchtime but even more so, Mid-week and the joint was jumping. Parties of folk, young and old all out for a fun evening. Atmosphere was invigorating. The room was superb. Put together with thought and a deep purse. Comfy bed & pillows. Bed-side lights more of a decoration with insufficient light to read by. But there was a portable standard lamp. Breakfast was somewhat sedate but all the more enjoyable as it was cooked to order & not delivered from heat trays. A selection of daily papers. You will have got the impression that we were impressed. Speak as you find. This pub certainly sets a standard for others to follow. Sitting there watching the world go by I came to realise that the price of my stay covered a broad spectrum of overheads. I forgot to mention the location – stop the world I want to get off – rural England at its best.

Never eaten here before but could not fault the entire evening. The staff were so friendly & attentive from the minute we walked in . For my meal I had Kohlrabi which was a delicious vegetarian option & my boyfriend had the steak which was cooked to perfection . A cosy romantic evening in our private little booth . We will definitely be back . Thank you so much. The lavatories incidentally did not smell , your hands do though when you use the beautiful lemon hand wash & hand cream . Little touches like that do not go un noticed ….

The perfect stop over - excellent food, staff and accommodation. Our booking was very last minute and we managed to grab the last room available, we also booked the latest table in the restaurant as we were still en route. When we arrived, the guy who booked us in was friendly and gave us his full attention even though the bar was busy. Nothing was too much trouble, the bed was to die for and the food was faultless. Excellent, we will definitely be back.

Nice rooms and very friendly staff! Can’t beat the value for money in particular, and great location near the town centre. Can just walk straight out to the market on the first Saturday of every month and go to a lot of very nice stalls. Would recommend.

Took the wife for our wedding anniversary and had a lovely 3 course meal and the team of waiters,waitresses and chef's made it special by giving us a free dessert decorated with a message written in chocolate for our wedding anniversary...really nice touch and we will definitely be eating there again...a really nice pub/restaurant thanks to all the crown team
