Have had many wonderful meals at this lovely country pub and today’s Sunday Lunch was no exception. A huge thank you to Oscar and his team, we always receive a very warm welcome and my favourite table by the fire was fully laid when we arrived. The food was fantastic too. We had a lovely time with family and old friends we haven’t seen for a while. Just perfect thank you again Oscar.

The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Staff were exceptional, friendly, and attentive. Food was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. Portions were a good size considering the price, and our meal was one of the best Sunday roasts we've had. Highlights were the beef and stuffing that came with the chicken. We will definitely be returning.

We were recommended to come here by a friend, and we would happily recommend others to come as well.

This last Sunday, the Crown hosted a group of 25 people, family and friends to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We can only endorse other comments when we say the staff were so welcoming, cheerful and helpful. We appreciated how they worked around some of the party arriving late due to travel disruption. All of our guests loved their food (including the children) and it was delicious. We thank the staff for their very professional service and making our family occasion so special.

Ate outside - seating areas under trees
The young serving staff, although perfectly polite, did not seem particularly enthused with their roles. Interior looked comfortable and clean. Good menu of bar food, reasonably priced

Been here 3 times in the last week and each time it has all been amazing. Great host, Oscar and an amazing staff.
Central location in the heart of Hartest. Plenty of parking and a great outdoor area with play area for children.
Do book for Sunday lunch.

Went in on the off-chance of getting something to eat. They said we're closing the kitchen in 10 mins. Saw them bring a couple of plates of Haddock and chips out. That decided us both, ordered, and not long after ours came to our table. Absolutely delicious, would definitely recommend. Lovely place to go, we were made very welcome and we'll be back to try something else.

Recently moved to the are and visiting most good pub food guide but wished we came here sooner. Lovely greet from staff and chatted for 5 mins before going to our table. Friends arrived and we had a very very enjoyable time food was amazing. So much choice a real mix of unusual dishes. First class and going back time n time again.
