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'.

We were taken here by friends . The food was lovely especially the fish and chips. I changed my chunky fries to skinny fries and it was no problem for the staff who were very friendly and accommodating . The pub has a lovely garden which baby Rhys loved . My only negative would be I'm not a fan of salt and pepper etc in sachets . Looking forward to returning for more fish and chips 👍🏻

Was just going to stop for a pint on a Sunday drive but the food looked really good so asked for a table even though they were fully booked and expecting lots of people. Go early if you have not booked as this place is very popular! Excellent roast beef traditional Sunday lunch presented in a bistro style but one of the best Sunday lunches I have eaten in a while. Not cheap but worth the price.

My partner and I enjoyed a lovely evening out at the great location. Unfortunately we didn't leave enough time to get there as it would have been to walk around the green before our meal.
We've eaten before in The One Bull in Bury St Edmunds which is a sister pub to this, suffice to say that both the food and service we had experienced there was carried over to the Crown. Our server was courteous and after we ordered a sharing dessert he explained what each component part of the dish was.
Price not too bad considering what we had ordered

We have done many circular pub walks and have often rated aspects of the lunch. This time we went mid-week and took advantage of the Crown's Wednesday deal, Pie and Pint (or glass of wine) for a measly £10.
Our amateur marking system awarded the following:
1. Food 10/10. The best pie we had ever tasted, ham hock and sausage in cider, cooked fresh on the premises while we waited. Delicious gravy, too!2. Service 10/10. Lovely barmaid and waitress with charm, great conversation and humour.
3. Ambience 10/10. A fine mix of old and new, spotlessly clean, mixing beams and period features with stylish modern furniture.4. Value for money 10/10. A great Wednesday special!
We have never before awarded 4 maximums!
We'll be back!

Had a lovely Saturday evening 3 courses ( the pudding board particular good). Lots of lovely wine and lager. Service was exceptional. We all cleared our plates. Will definitely be going back.

I had a lovely birthday meal here with my sister and brother in law. The food was modern and interesting and surprisingly good value. Beautiful location and friendly atmosphere. Worth making the trip out to Hartest. The Crown offers better value and excellent food in comparison to most (if not all) of the chain restaurants in Bury St.Edmunds. Thanks for a great night.

We were quite a large party so I suppose it is difficult to make sure everything is ready at the same time. Food was quite nice - whitebait good, ham hock pie a little bit stodgy. I thought the offerings for the children were particularly poor - burned "fish fingers" and a massive portion of toad in the hole with rather grey looking sausages and far too much batter.
