Easter Sunday ,and celebrating my birthday ,my family took me to The Crown for a beautiful lunch. There were six adults and a little one year old , we all had varied starters which ranged from whitebait, pate and chorizo scotch egg. Although very busy we were soon served our main meals of roast beef or turkey with waitresses serving drinks to us at the table. Deserts topped off a beautiful meal. Darren the manager is a very welcoming host and has trained his staff to look after you ,but they weren't in your face all of the time. Fantastic meal and a very good place to eat, well done The Crown.

I went with a friend mid week for lunch and I can't say that any of the comments here about service or small portions applied in any way whatsoever. The pub is in a beautiful setting and has has a very high quality makeover inside and is decorated and furnished in a very nice and comfortable style. There is a bar area and an adjoining more restaurant style area although in reality is all one but two distinct moods as one is an old panelled room the other not. I had the fish and chips which was a good size portion and lovely hand cut chips that were straight out of good hot and fresh fat, you can tell by how nice and dry and crisp they were. The fish, battered was also perfect as soon as you cut into it you could see it was moist and succulent. The service was pleasant and not over attentive, can't stand that. Oh yes almost forgot to mention they have their own brew house and serve a very pleasant pint.

A quiet Monday lunch for our wedding anniversary.
I started with the carrot and smoked paprika soup and finished with the 28 day aged, feather blade steak. It was amazing!
The restaurant was quiet, it was a Monday lunchtime, but we didn't feel odd or out of place - the service was wonderful.
Thank you so much!

My fiancee surprised me with a meal here. We have been once before with friends for Christmas and loved it. We sat in a romantic booth, had lovely wine and prosecco. The food was just gorgeous. I had the smoked mackerel pate with warm homemade ale bread ( just delicious).My financee had a duck confit which was so tasty. Our server let us relax we were not rushed at all. She was charming, suggested food and wine for us, fabulous service all night. Our mains were lovely. I has the feather blade and my partner the lamb, again both were stunning. I think this was the best steak I have had in years. It was a lovely romantic bight with delicious food, stunning wine and fab service. You should definitely try this place.

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.
