Thank you for another really enjoyable lunch and experience today. The team are really friendly and welcoming. The pub is in a beautiful village and beautifully presented inside and out. They’ve just got it right here, incredibly good quality restaurant standard food, yet have kept the charm and relaxed atmosphere of a village pub. The detail is noticed, quality napkins, the way the cutlery is presented, branded bottles for the complimentary still/sparkling water, nicely presented menus and beautifully presented food. The food is clearly freshly prepared by experienced chefs, and always tastes superb! The real ale is made at their local Bury St. Edmonds pub and offers a good selection of quality real ale. Looking forward to coming back again very soon.
Thank you for making our experience a good one.

Met family and friends for lunch. Lovely pub in a very pretty location. Nice to see that it’s dog friendly. We had a couple of drinks in a lovely atmosphere in the restaurant. The food was excellent. I had fish and chips and have to say, it was the best battered fish I have ever had. The batter was crisp and light, the fish was moist, succulent and plentiful.
Thanks to the kitchen and bar staff!

I’m yet to find a Sunday roast that matches this place. The beef is truly next level !

Very homely pub filled with locals, dog and child friendly. Local ciders on tap.

Oscar and team are very friendly whenever we dine - service is always attentive and welcoming.

In the summer, the most amazing home made pizzas dished out from a pizza oven in the garden !

We recommend to all. Prices are beyond reasonable.

Visited The Crown twice during our week’s stay in Hartest. Well looked after by Oscar and his team on both occasions. Locally brewed ale was good and the food is AMAZING! Pie and pint night on Wednesday was fab. Thank you, Paul, Nicky and Tilly x

The Sunday roasts are to die for! Can’t fault them. I had the beef which was served beautifully pink and tender, a giant yorkie and plenty of fresh vegetables, I couldn’t quite finish it but still managed to finish with something sweet. Berry and apple crumble was delicious.
Staff all very friendly and made a fuss over my son which kept him smiling and entertained.

What an absolute gem. The food was amazing, especially the monkfish chowder, couldn't fault it, it was packed with flavor and was so moreish. The beef rib starter was also excellent and full of flavor. We had a superb evening and everyone raved about the food

Arrived 2 hours early as overseas relatives were really feeling the cold, front of service gave us seating by a roaring fire and although they were extremely busy got us our table an hour early. Food as ever was amazing. We live an hour away but this is one of our top places to eat.

Parking: No problem
