Visiting Shimpling the other Sunday, we were looking for a good walk with a pub lunch and were recommended the Crown at Hartest. So glad we took the advice - it has to be the best pub roast I've ever had. Succulent tender roast beef with crisp roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and masses of lovely fresh vegetable cooked to perfection, followed by a yummy sticky toffee pudding and washed down with the pub's own Brewshed bitter. Not only that we and our dog were made to feel very welcome - everyone who served us were absolutely delightful. Can't recommend highly enough.

Another excellent meal at The Crown. Food was delicious, the confit duck with noodles was amazing as was the sea bass.
Prompt friendly service. Was nice to see the bar being frequented by so many people also.
Top marks to the whole team 😊

Enjoyed a lovely lunch today at The Crown. We eat here regularly and the service and quality of food is always first class! I cannot eat a full meal and it’s never a problem, I can have a smaller portion of any meal and charged accordingly. Highly recommend for families, friends, couples or special occasions. So lucky to have this place nearby. Our thanks and compliments to all the staff especially the chefs!

We had a lovely lunch with some of our family yesterday. Greeted by very friendly staff ( all staff on the day were lovely). The food was beyond expectation, highly recommend the garlic bread for a nibble. Good starters, followed by a very top quality, beautifully cooked sirloin of beef with all the trimmings.
Puddings were excellent too. I would highly recommend a trip to this lovely village, and the pub and its staff were top notch!

Called in for lunch after a 5 mile walk at Ickworth. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Menu choices are excellent with choices of pub classics and set menu. Food was delicious well presented. A really lovely lunch.

This is a lovely country pub serving really nice quality food. The ambiance is very enjoyable and there is plenty of room between tables. High quality ingredients are used and the flavours are wonderful. I would recommend this for an event booking or a quiet meal for two. The staff are really friendly and Hartest is a very pretty village.

Been twice before and were very impressed. This time however we were very disappointed. No clientele wearing masks, dogs barking loudly in the bar area. My leeks were undercooked and my wife's battered haddock was not of the standard one expects from a good chip shop. In fairness the starters were good as was my cod main course. Soft drinks prices are exorbitant albeit from a wide choice. Will be looking elsewhere for a good quality meal next time.

Very good food, but limited menu, although it changes regularly.

Had a pleasant Sunday lunch at the Crown with a few caveats.
- The beef is rare and it tells you so and I am good with that. However if you cut it as thick as they do, then it either needs to be top quality or they provide a sharper knife, it was neither. Next time I will have the pork! - Unless they slice it thinly!
- Covid has probably put pay to any maintenance on and in the building so it does look a little more tired than the website images would suggest. Did not really detract from the experience.
- Staff were top drawer. Friendly and happy and super attentive. First class.
- Cheap as chips. Worth the drive out from Cambridge.

Really great food and service. Massive portions. Starters could be a main. Had rarebit starter and fish chowder main... delicious. Despite all the shenanigans with staff shortages everywhere in the industry, The Crown didn't let us (a group of 12) down. We did book and sensibly were asked to pre-order as we were such a large group.
