Nice traditional village pub with good food and comprehensive menu. Staff were welcoming and there's a large car park opposite the pub.
Food was very tasty, and soo many gluten free options which was great for me as a coeliac. Nice and cosy inside and good car park :)
I can't say enough good things about The Crown Inn! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with exceptional customer service that sets the tone for a wonderful experience. The staff are friendly, attentive, and always go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The food and drink offerings are nothing short of fantastic. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty meal or just a drink at the bar, they've got something for everyone. Every dish is prepared with care and bursting with flavour, and the drinks selection is top-notch. Overall, The Crown is a gem of a pub that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Keep up the great work!
Booked a table last night for our family and two dogs. Staff were very attentive and couldn’t do enough for us, dogs were made to feel welcome and there are toys and beds for them to help them settle, as well as treats on the bar. Between the 6 of us, we had the pies and ham and eggs and all were demolished. Whilst the choice on the menu isn’t huge, it’s all proper home cooked food and there is enough of a selection to give variety for everyone’s taste. Really enjoyed our time here and the locals were also friendly too. Price of the meal and drinks was very reasonable and was given discount vouchers for a return visit, which we will definitely try to do before we leave to go back home from our holiday. A very good local pub that’s worth a visit if your in the area.
We found this little gem on our way home. Arrived at 7:30 ish and we phoned ahead to make sure food was still on the menu. We only had a few of the side orders but they were cooked to perfection and good portion sizes. The staff are friendly and happy to help, top notch customer service (It’s refreshing to get good customer service in the age we live in but The Crown Inn have is mastered). Great selection of Beers, Ales, Spirits, Wine. We will be back to try out more of the food and possibly the rooms in the near future as well. Will update when we have experiences more of this little gem.
Went here for lunch, absolutely lovely food and service, my husband had the fish and chips, he said the batter was the best he’d ever had!! I had the homemade steak and ale pie, wow, the meat was so tender, and the gravy so delicious! Definitely going here again! The young lady that served us, was delightful! Can’t wait to try the Sunday carvery!!
Went for a carvery today. The staff were lovely & the food was delicious. A great range of veg. Thank you. We will be back again soon. Xx
Came for food. Based in an easy to locate place with good parking. The food was fantastic. Prices are in line with similar venues but the food was so nice. Got the Arnold burger and fries and was very happy. Exactly what I was craving. Classic country pub. Bring your close friends and let the experience cater to you. Had a great time.
