We were taken here by friends . The food was lovely especially the fish and chips. I changed my chunky fries to skinny fries and it was no problem for the staff who were very friendly and accommodating . The pub has a lovely garden which baby Rhys loved . My only negative would be I'm not a fan of salt and pepper etc in sachets . Looking forward to returning for more fish and chips 👍🏻

Was just going to stop for a pint on a Sunday drive but the food looked really good so asked for a table even though they were fully booked and expecting lots of people. Go early if you have not booked as this place is very popular! Excellent roast beef traditional Sunday lunch presented in a bistro style but one of the best Sunday lunches I have eaten in a while. Not cheap but worth the price.

My partner and I enjoyed a lovely evening out at the great location. Unfortunately we didn't leave enough time to get there as it would have been to walk around the green before our meal.
We've eaten before in The One Bull in Bury St Edmunds which is a sister pub to this, suffice to say that both the food and service we had experienced there was carried over to the Crown. Our server was courteous and after we ordered a sharing dessert he explained what each component part of the dish was.
Price not too bad considering what we had ordered

We have done many circular pub walks and have often rated aspects of the lunch. This time we went mid-week and took advantage of the Crown's Wednesday deal, Pie and Pint (or glass of wine) for a measly £10.
Our amateur marking system awarded the following:
1. Food 10/10. The best pie we had ever tasted, ham hock and sausage in cider, cooked fresh on the premises while we waited. Delicious gravy, too!2. Service 10/10. Lovely barmaid and waitress with charm, great conversation and humour.
3. Ambience 10/10. A fine mix of old and new, spotlessly clean, mixing beams and period features with stylish modern furniture.4. Value for money 10/10. A great Wednesday special!
We have never before awarded 4 maximums!
We'll be back!

Had a lovely Saturday evening 3 courses ( the pudding board particular good). Lots of lovely wine and lager. Service was exceptional. We all cleared our plates. Will definitely be going back.

I had a lovely birthday meal here with my sister and brother in law. The food was modern and interesting and surprisingly good value. Beautiful location and friendly atmosphere. Worth making the trip out to Hartest. The Crown offers better value and excellent food in comparison to most (if not all) of the chain restaurants in Bury St.Edmunds. Thanks for a great night.

We were quite a large party so I suppose it is difficult to make sure everything is ready at the same time. Food was quite nice - whitebait good, ham hock pie a little bit stodgy. I thought the offerings for the children were particularly poor - burned "fish fingers" and a massive portion of toad in the hole with rather grey looking sausages and far too much batter.

After a spot of shopping in Bury. My husband and I decided to stop of at The Crown. We last visited in the summer for drinks. The pub was very busy and although we hadn't booked, we managed to get a table. The staff are friendly and the place is so lovely. The roast beef dinner (pink) is delicious, maybe a little pink for some. From the cauliflower cheese to the large Yorkshire pudding, it was all so delightful. The prices might be expensive for some, but the location, the pub it's self, from the style to the atmosphere, to the wine to the food. It's all worth it. We didn't have dessert as to full. We will be back again.

Brilliant diverse menu and very attentive staff made for a very pleasant lunch. Would take a long diversion to come back.

Visited here for our weekly date night on a Friday evening for dinner with my husband. When we walked in, I was overwhelmed with just how busy the place was. There were lots of people at the bar drinking which I imagine were locals. We didn't mind as atmosphere is good, however not the quietest of meals so bear this in mind if you're looking for somewhere romantic.
The restaurant had a large number of tables all tucked away and it was full. The staff struggled to cope and service was very slow. It took 25 minutes to even get the dessert menu after our mains were cleared away. I am writing this review 3 weeks on, and I must admit I can't for the life of me remember what I had...I do remember enjoying it, however it can't have been that memorable. I did like however the style of the place, the decor, and there was a good wine menu with Prosecco by the glass which is a big thumbs up from me.
Nice place, but improvements to be had.
