We were celebrating a 40th and 70th Birthday and had a lovely meal. We had 2 children with us and were provided with a high chair. The food and service were excellent and our eldest loved the play things.

This was our first visit to this lovely pub. I have a food allergy, so having checked the website I followed their advice to phoned before visiting to check whether they could cater for my egg allergy. The person I spoke to could not have been more helpful. She went through the menu with me to find out what I liked to eat, and what I did not like, then went to ask the chef to see what was suitable. She rang back a few minutes later and I was able to pre-order my meal when I booked our table. When we arrived we were shown to our table in the spacious dining room. In the bar a lovely log fire was burning. The pub was clean, staff were very pleasant and it was obvious that they did not mind people bringing their dogs inside. Outside there is a huge garden with climbing frames for children. It really is a good family pub! The menu is varied, with lunch, dinner, and kids menus, as well as a grazing platter to share. Our lunch was wonderful. My meal consisted of the mussels in garlic sauce for starter followed by a steak and ale pie (which the chef cooked for me without the usual egg glaze) which was accompanied with creamy mash, perfectly cooked savoy cabbage and a very good gravy. It was cooked to perfection...best pie I have had in ages! For my dessert the chef prepared an egg-free chocolate mousse which was lovely and light, yet tasted very rich. To die for! My husband had the Cromer crab mousse to start, also had the steak and ale pie, and the salted caramel tart. He said the pint of bitter he had was really good too. A lovely clear pint with a good head! They keep their beer well! The price of our meal was under £60, which considering the quality we though very reasonable. The ambience of the place was very relaxing, with easy listening music which was not at all intrusive. Our meal was not rushed either. The food was cooked to order, so there was a slight wait between courses, but that gave us a chance to relax and chat. I really don't mind waiting for food which is THAT good! We feel that we have found a gem of a pub and will certainly return!

Found this gem when looking for somewhere to meet friends half-way and weren’t we glad that we did. Location is fabulous and was made better by the autumn sunshine.
We booked a table in the restaurant but the whole of the premises was just as nice. The food was lovely, all of us had different main meals although 3 of us had the pork and eggs Benedict starter which was excellent. The chain has its own micro brewery and the ales were spot on. Nice touches with complimentary still and spring water on the table.
Excellent and attentive staff and we were never rushed and were able to take our time over our lunch, as long as we needed. Will be back and will seek out the other premises in the chain in the meantime. Thanks.

Very nice dining experience. Enthusiastic staff, attentive and pleasant. Sunday roast all good, Yorkshire puds could do with not being flat though. Vegetarian option excellent as was the accompanying veg. Very nice thank you, see you very soon.

I have eaten at the Crown many times usually for Sunday lunch and it has been very good every time. The staff are always friendly and efficient. The restaurant is old world but very comfortable and cosy especially in the winter when the fire is on. It is also dog friendly.
The Crown is tucked by the side of the village green and is not too easily seen but don't give up it is well with seeking out.
You will enjoy it.

Ate there a few times recently. Food good, staff friendly but don't seem that experienced or trained on the detail and the place was cold which made it a tad uncomfortable.
They take dogs which is a plus and on the whole if they turned the heating up we would recommend the place; though overall for good food and a traditional English pub would just about give it 4 out of 5.
