Traditional English pub. We arrived just before they closed the kitchen in the afternoon. Staff were very accommodating though and still allowed us to order our soup and sandwich combos. Good food and great ambiance.

Lovely village location - keep an eye out for the blackboard on the green (!) - and we enjoyed a stroll around before heading inside. Not very busy on a Tuesday evening but that's not massively surprising.
We chose the pub because it was dog friendly (the only one of this small group of pubs which is) and ate in the dog-friendly section of their restaurant - a nice touch. Both bar staff were very friendly and went out of their way to chat to us and also make a fuss of our dog.
The food was very good - burger for me, lamb fillet and couscous for my wife who was extremely pleased! Great bottle of relatively inexpensive wine (for a pub/restaurant - £18) too - a red Zinfandel from Italy.
All in all a great find for our holiday in Suffolk, just wish their other places would accept dogs!!

We were lucky to come across The Crown when stopping for lunch when travelling home from holiday. Great food, great beer from the owner's brew house in Bury St Edmunds and friendly well trained staff. Well done to all, the perfect pub!

A great place to eat outside on a sunny day with children able to run around the large grassed area and on the play equipment, climb the trees and look at the stream. The food is better than pub grub, and the hot chocolate where you mix in the chocolate shavings yourself goes down a treat with the children.
The peanut butter dessert was scrummy.

We made our annual visit to Hartest Fete but instead of taking our usual picnic we booked at the Crown for our lunch as it was our wedding anniversary. The pub was its usual vibrant self and we were shown to our table inside rather than the garden which was equally busy. We chose from the specials list, I chose Sardines, my wife Scotch Egg with Blythburgh Pork, my Sardines were every bit as good as Spanish fare, a good 6 inches long, very meaty and served on toast, fantastic!. My wifes Scotch egg was freshly made and warm with a runny egg in the middle, really lovely.
We both chose Salmon as a main with potatoes, green beans and Hollandaise sauce, it was beautifully cooked, flaky Salmon crispy skin, lovely, all washed down with a Chilean Sauvignon Blanc. One of the best meals out at lunch time for ages.

Treated my elderly parents and children to a meal out after visiting a tourist attraction in the area. Despite it being the Hartest annual Fete and consequently extremely busy, we all had an excellent meal. Will definitely book again next time I visit my folks.

I wanted an old village pub with an intimate atmosphere and this establishment hit the spot.
Having pre booked we were warmly welcomed as we entered the pub. We were taken to our table by the waitress who asked if we would like a complimentary carafe of water as we were left to study the menu.The food was ordered and delivered in good time. It was excellent and well presented.
We were not rushed and were able to take in the atmosphere of this old country pub. The restaurant was decorated to retain the ambiance and intimacy of a pub with age and character. The staff were attentive without being overpowering and any questions we had were answered confidently.

Took my wife for a birthday lunch. Great food, lovely staff. But...the music was a catastrophe. 50's rock 'n roll assaulted us to the point of desperation. On a Friday lunchtime! By the time we left we felt All Shook Up. Not a total Heartbreak Hotel but we left with the Summertime Blues. As Fats Domino said 'Ain't that a shame'.
