Outstanding lunch. Delicious cheese and chive pie! Possibly best vegetarian meal I’ve ever had. Great subtle and clever flavours, textures and chef obviously has a talent for combining flavours. Highly recommend.

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.

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.

A busy popular pub restaurant. The food was excellent - usual menu items of steak, fish & chips. Staff very busy but friendly. Nice atmosphere.

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.

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!!

The food was very good, they were sooooo busy but service was was still good. The only downside was there was only one item for vegans.

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.

Our friends found this chain a few years ago and rave about the quality of the food. Our first time and we agree.
Didn't have starters but everyone of the 7 of us had something different, each of us we delighted with the flavours and portion sizes. Bit of a journey so it wont be our regular, that said if we are in Suffolk we will certainly check them out again

My wife and I went to the Crown Hartest three times over a weekend. The first time on a Friday lunchtime for a sandwich which was so delicious we decided to go back on the Saturday. It was very crowded so we had to wait, we had a drink at the bar and very soon our table was ready. Again the quality of the food was excellent and the service was very good, so much so we decided to book Sunday lunch. This time we took some friends and we were not disappointed, the food was excellent and the staff very attentive. In our experience over the three days we were very pleased, and we won't hesitate to go back. A lovely country pub in a very nice setting with above average food.
Well done and yum yum, keep it up.

I’m really picky about my Sunday roasts and the crown did not disappoint definitely one of my top 3 places to go for a tasty flavoursome dinner . There was plenty on our plates and lovey and fresh.we even left some . The fresh baked bread is also amazing . We didn’t have dessert but that’s because we were so full up . Thanks again . We will definitely be returning . P.s we drive 30 minutes to get here just for the roast .
