We enjoyed a family meal for eight people on a Friday evening. We chose The Crown having eaten several times at the sister pubs in Bury St Edmunds and been impressed on each occasion.
Within our party were two very young children and we were welcomed with highchairs provided. The waitresses were excellent- very welcoming and friendly, and service was quick. They paid special attention to the children, and helped make the whole occasion relaxing and enjoyable.
The food generally was very good, with a varied menu to suit all ages. Everything was prepared and presented well. The weather was dry which allowed the children to enjoy the superb wooden play equipment while the adults sat outside at the picnic tables.
All in all, a very enjoyable evening, made extra special by the friendly staff, and we will definitely return.

We went at lunch time on the way to Gifford's Hall vineyard. The menu has lots of choice and is definitely a cut above pub grub. There is lots of outside space for summer and the food and service are good. Certainly worth trying.

Lovely pub and weather sadly on this occasion wasn't matched by very slow service and to be honest average food.
I think there must have been staffing problems as after sitting down for 15mins we had to ask at the bar for menus and then find a waiter to take our order another 20 minutes later..the pub wasn't particularly busy.The food was ok and slow arriving.On the plus side excellent wine,beer and garden and hoping for better next time we return!

Fantastic food with excellent service. Lovely old building with a great atmosphere. There is a lovely garden which we will be visiting regularly in the summer, for more family meals.

This is an attractive food pub in a lovely village location.
All clean and tidy with a huge garden to sit or play with the little ones.As it was our second visit since this pub became part of the One Bull group in Bury St Edmunds it was making 1 suggestion to the management I think.
Again I found my main course and desert very disappointing and overpriced.My caesar salad and lemon sponge were not at all special.
The staff were helpful so a big plus to them.Before you order look is see what is going to the tables near you!

Traditional English pub. We arrived just before they closed the kitchen in the afternoon. Staff were very accommodating though and still allowed us to order our soup and sandwich combos. Good food and great ambiance.

Lovely village location - keep an eye out for the blackboard on the green (!) - and we enjoyed a stroll around before heading inside. Not very busy on a Tuesday evening but that's not massively surprising.
We chose the pub because it was dog friendly (the only one of this small group of pubs which is) and ate in the dog-friendly section of their restaurant - a nice touch. Both bar staff were very friendly and went out of their way to chat to us and also make a fuss of our dog.
The food was very good - burger for me, lamb fillet and couscous for my wife who was extremely pleased! Great bottle of relatively inexpensive wine (for a pub/restaurant - £18) too - a red Zinfandel from Italy.
All in all a great find for our holiday in Suffolk, just wish their other places would accept dogs!!

We were lucky to come across The Crown when stopping for lunch when travelling home from holiday. Great food, great beer from the owner's brew house in Bury St Edmunds and friendly well trained staff. Well done to all, the perfect pub!
