Went for our 2nd dinner at The Crown since it has changed management , this time for my friend Shantee's birthday .
We were well looked after by our friendly waiters Kevin and Angus and this was the first day of the new Autumn menu and we were not disappointed for choice with our starters being Venison scotch egg with tarragon mayo , scallops x 2 and a generous potted shrimp .Mains of Rib eye steak x 2 , fillet of cod and chicken and mushroom pie with roasted carrots and bubble and squeak .
Deserts ;- lavender panacota with strawberries and comb honey x 2 and carrot cake roulard with stem ginger ice cream x 2.In all a very nice evening had by all , our thanks to the staff at The Crown.

The reopened Crown has been well designed, seems to have something for everyone. Large garden with play area for children/families. A well designed out door restaurant area, a bar that you can actually sit at, plus an area for those who just want to chat and have a drink. The restaurant is a lovely panelled room with an adjoining area of seating by a fire which (it is hoped) will be used for cooking! Can't wait to see how that works. We visited on the first occasion during a very stressful (for the staff) lunch session in the first few days after opening....how they coped with the crush I do not know, but they were patient, calm and helpful! If they can get through that then they will cope with anything! We were warned that our meal would take some time but it was worth waiting for! The menu is interesting, changing with the seasons with daily specials. We visited again during a mid week evening and once again had a lovely meal served by friendly professional staff. Looking forward to another visit as soon as we can fit it in .

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.
