I went to The Crown for the first time today and the food was outstanding, I had the roast beef and may I say it is with no word of a lie, the best roast dinner I've ever had! My sister had the pollock and scallops with salsa verde and this was delicious also! We were served by Nadine and Darren and they were extremely welcoming and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed, offering us extra veg and gravy and ensuring everything was OK with our meals. They even had a large party inside but you would have never guessed as the ambiance was so chilled out, the staff were relaxed and available to everybody. We sat in the garden with three small children and they have a massive garden and play area which is excellent to keep the little ones entertained. We even had a game of football and badminton while there were other families playing cricket. As mentioned above the restaurant has a very relaxed feel to it, it's like going down your local park on a sunny day but with a fantastic restaurant attached where they serve fantastic food. Very child and dog friendly, I would recommend this restaurant highly and will be back as soon as I can!

We visited the Crown on consecutive weekends and saw two sides of the service. On both occasions the food was excellent and the staff were very friendly. On our first visit the service was fine, a little slow maybe, but we really couldn't complain. The following weekend we were told that there would be a wait for the food as they were busy in the kitchen. This was no problem as it was a nice day and there is a great play area for kids outside and we were in no hurry. We eventually got our food 2 hours after ordering (due to the order getting lost) and when it came to paying, no discount was offered until my wife asked. If it hadn't been for the good experience of our first visit, this would have put us off returning, but the great food and overall impression of this lovely pub means that we will definitely give it another try.

The village is stunning, and this renovation compliments it well. A big place, with huge gardens, right next to the church.. You have to know it's there though, as it's easy to miss. Six of us have a lovely evening meal, everything well presented and very tasty. No-one had a bad word to say and my pulled pork pie was brilliant. Puds were good too, and all home made. Try the English wine, from the local vineyard, it's worth it!
Three courses with wine for £40 a head. Not bad at all for that quality.

I was taken here by a friend. It was our second visit and we were delighted again. We knew that the setting was gorgeous and there was outside seating but most importantly the food was excellent again. Great pub food with a twist and four notches up from standard pub grub.

Home brewed beer, really good food freshly prepared, good for families and coupes. Large garden with play area. Stream at the bottom of the garden and a warning sign about this for parents

Several of us elderly retired gents who travel extensively to enjoy our pensions are pleased to report that the Crown represents all that is good about eating out. Really good beer, good choice of food, well cooked and presented; and very pleasant staff.

I have started going here again every two or three months as I appreciate the good service, helpful time and the ever-changing menus.
The chef does provide interesting experiences for vegetarians. This time I ate a great broccoli, blue cheese and onion tart. It was made with filo pastry and looked like a flower on the plate - so pretty. It was served with a great tomato and cannellini bean salad.

Had lunch here today. The location is rural & quiet, great garden for children. The staff were friendly professional. Don't expect large portions. I had duck caeser salad, basically crispy lettuce, half a dozen pieces of shredded duck & a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. I felt it was way over priced at £10.50 for what was actually in the bowl.
