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 .

Planning this outing for 54 ramblers took numerous emails and Lucy could not have been more helpful. On the day, 37 members were served their pre-selected lunches in a reserved part of the dining area by efficient and cheerful staff. The food was of a good standard and was praised by several in the group. Meanwhile the picnickers enjoyed the use of the patio area behind the Crown. The whole visit was a great success and I would highly recommend this fine pub as a base for anyone wishing to use the many footpaths in this gorgeous area of Suffolk.

A very late Sunday lunch but still busy. Excellent service and good selection on menu. Wine list good as well along with well kept draught beers.
Highly recommended - worth the journey

Lovely pub, food looked good but large portions. Nicely appointed inside but a bit of an echo. However gardens beautiful and weather great so we sat outside. Plenty for kids to do. Sandwiches excellent with lovely trimmings but very generous portions so couldn't finish. Will get one to share next time! Friendly staff and efficient service. Worth a visit

Not many options round this part, but this is nonetheless a good one. Really lovely accomodating staff, well priced pints and pretty good food.

Sunday lunch for 4. What a day to chose ,a post wedding party and a birthday party too. Didn't matter though as the meal we had was fresh,so well cooked and served just to order. The girls were terrific and a credit to the Pub. Our girl,that served the drinks at the bar, even gave great advice on the gins on offer and what mixed well. Even though there was a lot going on we had a great lunch and enjoyed the atmosphere. Great food, great service,great venue. Highly recommend The Crown 👍.

Super lunch at The Crown. Lovely ambiance and friendly and efficient staff. The set menu was excellent value at £14.50 for 2 courses. My husband had a superb piece of hake and my chilli beef was delicious. The pub was very busy for a Tuesday lunchtime so we would recommend getting there early. We will be going again and are happy to recommend.

OMG! If you’ve not had a pizza at The Hartest Crown then get ya arse there!!!!!!!!!
Bloody delicious 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋Cooked to 👌 perfection 😊
£8 and it’s gorgeous From the time we arrived last evening, greeted with a lovely warm welcome at the pizza shed\ bar by two very happy staff ‘Ben & Maxine’ we felt very relaxed. Ben took our order and nothing was to much trouble, Maxine the pizza chef was very obliging with our choices on our pizza. Given a ‘buzzer’ we then went into the Crown for a drink whilst we waited for our pizza. Again extremely smiley staff ‘Fiona’ greeted us asking what we’d like to drink and said we could sit at any table that hadn’t already been reserved. We found a lovely comfortable table with large cozy benches to relax and enjoy our drinks whilst we waited.
It wasn’t long at all before our ‘buzzer’ alerted us to let us know our pizzas were ready! Well.. just delicious!
We had pudding too..... sticky toffee pud with honeycomb ice cream for me 😋 .. mixture of homemade ice cream for him 😋Yeah..... puds are good too! Thank you chef!
So authentic with fresh ingredients.Thank you to all the staff at the Crown 😘
I believe the owner is called ‘Dave’ ... ‘Well Dave you’ve got it just right! And I’m sure you already know, but your staff are perfect, look after them’We’ll be back ❤️❤️
