Went with friends for Sunday roast and was blown away. Lovely surroundings, excellent service and the best roast for miles. Melt in the mouth pink roast beef with crispy roasties with fluffy insides, a massive yorkie, generous serving of parsnips, carrots, cabbage and leeks. Delicious gravy-extra jug provided without having to ask & pokey horseradish. For those not wanting roast there are big meal alternatives and interesting sarnies. Lovely garden to chill out in. Lived up to it's excellent reputation.

Wonderful - had a nice drink in the huge garden then went for a walk around the beautiful town and the fields behind the pub garden. Great for kids as there is a climbing frame and a good big open space to run around. Highly recommended it!

I went to the Crown for dinner with my friend and it exceeded all expectations. It was absolutely fantastic! The staff were polite and attentive. The food was delicious. My asparagus and wild garlic risotto was incredible and would definitely recommend. My dessert (see photo attached) was the most delicious brownie; it topped off the evening! Would definitely recommend if you are in the area or you are planning somewhere to eat that is relaxed and well priced. Will definitely be returning!

Had an absolutely delightful evening meal there on a Tuesday night. Wonderful service and the standard of the food was very high. We loved the menu. I thought the prices were reasonable for what we received.

We found this place by accident and decided to stop for lunch , I had a fish finger sandwich and my husband had pork sandwich, we had chips on side
We sat in the large garden, which has play area for children. The food was lovely and served quickly
After lunch we were able to take a short stroll along the stream at the end of the garden

It was our first visit to the Crown with our Suffolk friends and we had a lovely Sunday lunch! There’s plenty of non-Sunday lunch options if you have veggies or fussy eaters so we all found something we liked from the well devised menu. Service, whilst a bit slow was friendly and reasonably efficient.
My roast beef was great, despite being served quite pink, but it was very tender and tasty. Served with a generous portion of veg and extra gravy, which was much appreciated. We didn’t have starters or wine, so can’t comment on those, but I can recommend the treacle tart... it was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had!
It didn’t quite get 5 stars due to the slightly slow service and my over cooked Yorkshire pud, but we would definitely visit again when in the area.

Four of us paid a visit Saturday lunchtime and were impressed by the pub and surroundings, the staff were all helpful and polite but the mixed feelings came with the food,We all decided to go for the set menu and started with the pork fritters which were fine, myself and my brother in law went for the chicken for main course and that was very nice, my wife opted for the Thai fish cakes with sweet and sour sauce ,sadly these were pretty tasteless and bore no resemblance Thai food and the sauce was not just sour but rancid and inedible,My sister went for the curried vegetable pie but this looked almost burnt and the pastry was very hard. The desserts however were another story and the sticky toffee pudding was heavenly. Will definitely go again as i think we just made a couple of wrong choices.
