We have been many times to The Crown and the food has always been reliably good. The setting is lovely, a typical country inn in a very pretty village. On this particular occasion however, although food was good, staff friendly, service was very poor. Our order was taken promptly but food took 50 minutes to arrive, this on a quiet day with only 5 tables occupied. We were not asked if we would like a dessert or coffee either.
Overall a good venue for lunch but service needs to be stepped up.

This was our first visit but with friends who have visited before and gave a good review! Sunday lunch was excellent quality and very generous portion sizes. We chose roast beef which was cooked very pink, this came with all the usual trimmings and a separate dish of fresh vegetables for sharing. Can highly recommend the dessert sharing platter as well which easily fed three or four as a light way of finishing the meal. Will be going again!!

Visited the Crown for a birthday dinner which didn’t disappoint. Food was excellent, service was just as good. We had starters of honey and garlic chicken wings and hoisin duck bao buns, mains of steak and kidney pie and lamb chop and a selection of puddings for dessert, we couldn’t fault any dish. I was told they didn’t have any Pinot Grigio but was advised to try a similar wine, I was impressed by the knowledge of the waitress and the alternative wine was great! We returned for drinks with the dog today and felt very comfortable, they also have a lovely wood burner to keep you cosy. All the little touches were executed perfectly (shiny cutlery, clean glasses etc) and would definitely recommend. Great menu, great food, beautiful settings.

Stopped briefly. Enjoyed the microbrewedbeers and the lunches. Staff very pleasant. Food tasty and place tastefully decorated. Ample seating. Menu quite extensive. Not cheap but plenty of options for most pockets.

Stopped in for a light snack and was seduced into more as started with delicious ham hock terrine with exceptional onion marmalade. Had to follow a cheese and chive pie, was dubious of description but Wow! What a dish! Beautiful subtle flavours, outstanding combination of textures and cannot wait to go back. I have my own restaurant so tend to be overly critical of others, this I highly recommend for food. Good value, GREAT food and warm and efficient service. Loved it! Well done chef! I’m still licking my lips.
