We just love dining at The Crown, soon as we decide to eat out the table is soon booked. There's a variety of choices from their menu, this Saturday we went for the rib of beef cooked in front of you on the open wood fire. Served with fries , mushrooms & onion rings the flavour was delicious, the slight taste of smokey wood came through and so tender. A great choice of dessert too completes a lovely meal. Meals are washed down from their choices of their own beers or wines to compliment your meal or your favourite tipple.The staff are so friendly always making you welcome who ever you are first time diner or a regular. Thanks for looking after us Nicky we will be back again soon.

We live in Hartest and come here at least once a week. The staff are always welcoming and friendly and the food is excellent. They rotate the menu frequently as well which is great for regulars like us. They always accommodate the little ones and have a toy chest inside and play area and huge lawn outside. The beer is always good and fresh; my only criticism is that they don't have guest ales and don't rotate their own so the beer options are always the same. Luckily the Brewshed beers are very good, but I'd like to see more variation.

What we like about The Crown is the lovely service that Fiona and Lucy provide. Always cheerful and friendly, nothing seems to be too much trouble. The paneled front room with the big windows is particularly warm and comfortable. Even when the tables are full it doesn't seem crowded. The food is always well-prepared and tasty. The best pudding by a long chalk is the apple custard crumble fool - melt in your mouth and gone in a trice.

I eat at the Crown often and the food is a very high standard of quality. I'd nightly recommend going to the restaurant on a Wednesday as they do a fantastic deal where you buy a starter and main and get the dessert free- now this doesn't sound as impressive as it is, with the desserts you choose from a selection of ten and choose five. I was expecting the portion sizes to be rather small due to the fact I'd had a started and main (and the delicious cracking and apple sauce!) but the portions for the five desserts where regular/large sizes which I found rather overwhelming,
I ate a bit of each and can confirm the were absolutely delicious but wasn't able to finish so took a doggy bag home. I spoke to one of the fantastic waitresses and asked why the portion sizes were so huge and she explained that they wanted to give customers the chance to try the dessert menu. My only criticism would be to make the desserts slightly smaller as it's quite overwhelming,and after two other courses. The rice pudding is so delicious!I've also been to the crown and found that the burger was rather greasy with rather poor presentation but apart from that it is my favourite place to eat. The roosts are immense!
Very well priced and the staff are excellent! There's a huge garden area and the pub is child/dog friendly. You get a lovely country vibe whilst there and they have a fantastic,
Thank you very much, I'm sure I will be back soon.

We’re local, so were regular visitors under the previous owner. We know the Crown at Hartest, so had high expectations of the Fox under the new regime. And it was very good ! Familiar menu and wine list; good food, and efficient and attentive staff. What’s not to like ? We will certainly keep coming back 👍🏻

As a regular visitor to the fox under the previous owner I was a little unsure as to what it would be like. I didn’t need to worry, we went there on Saturday night 29.9.19 having pre-booked our table for four. We were greeted on arrival by a friendly staff who showed us to our table, our drinks order was taken and delivered to our table within a very short time. We all ordered different dishes so a good cross section of their menu was tasted. The service was good, the food across all three courses was excellent and the price was what I would have expected from a restaurant of this style. The new owner came to our table and introduced himself which was a really nice touch. I wish this family run restaurant all the best in making this establishment the best in the area, and as for the bad reviews, I suggest that you book your table and allow the business to show you what they are really about. We will again be regulars, and that makes me very happy.

What a great addition to the neighbourhood - since it opened we’ve already been 3-4 times and each time we’re taken care of brilliantly: as a large party, as a family with small children, and again as just a couple. Food is outstanding and the vibe is welcoming, relaxed and classy. Kids menu is only really appropriate for adventurous little eaters - none of your average fish fingers and mac and cheese on this menu! Overall, just love it, well done. Pork schnitzel, chicken salad and the cheesecake stand out in my memory. Definitely book though to avoid disappointment.
