We moved to Suffolk recently and was looking for a nice local pub when only by accident I drove past it and thought to look it up online. Food looked great and the pub seemed warm and inviting.
So yesterday we decided to pay a visit and have a dinner. And I’m glad we did! What a lovely pub! Food was superb! From start to finish. Only negative was that service was a bit slow but it definitely didn’t spoil the experience. We will be back for Sunday roast next week. Can’t wait! What a gem only three miles away from home. Perfect!

Five of us recently ate dinner at The Crown for my Birthday. Two of the group are Vegan and we arrived fully expecting to be lucky to have even one option available to us. We were delighted to be offered several options that were not on the menu, simply the Chef (Jason) thinking outside the box. We enjoyed a first-class meal and our non-Vegan friends commented they would like to try our dish next time! Amazing service, amazing food. Would highly recommend.

Went for lunch on Sat 26th Jan & I can honestly say it was the best food I've had for a long time. I took my mum & daughter who is vegetarian & had lots of veggie choices which were also delicious. Staff were lovely & didn't rush you. Puds were delish also. Can't wait to go back for Sunday lunch. Wear stretch waistbands lol.

What a great experience of a much visited pub by my mother & I for Sunday lunch, unannounced & without a booking & yet made to feel so welcome from the second we walked into a warm, crowded, busy pub. We've eaten here before but never with it being this busy. There was a real buzz about the place. We waited for a few minutes & were looked after by a very efficient & pleasant manager who despite it being so busy, found us space to eat. & boy we were not disappointed! A good glass of Rioja followed by one of the best roast pork dinners I have had in many a year! Belly & loin, cooked to perfection, crackling to die for, perfect gravy, extra in a jug, Yorkshire pudding that would make the county proud & fresh, carrots, vibrant green cabbage & cauliflower cheese were all perfect accompaniments to a fantastic meal. We normally have desserts but this one beat us both! I have to say that there are so many pubs around that fail on so many levels to do a basic roast dinner & its testament to the team & chefs at The Crown that the food has always lived up to & excelled our expectations. Pie & beer night is a must have as well as the rest of the menu! The specials have also never let me down. Efficient & friendly service & space for the dog & we left full, & ready for a walk home. Thanks to the team at The Crown! We will be back soon!!

Took my parents for birthday lunch with our two dogs, great food, very good friendly service from all the staff. Had very good and happy experience, especially as there were at least 6 dogs in the pub - almost every table had a dog with them, although there was an area of tables which I suspect were for eating without dogs in attendance.

Over 40 colleagues met at this wonderful place for a splendid Christmas supper. There was another large group in plus the rest of the pub was packed. Staff were fantastic. The food was delicious. Fresh, hot, varied, served promptly, and quite rightly received many compliments. We’re all going again in the summer and want to return next Christmas. Friendly atmosphere and country decor. Open fires, local produce, beautiful Suffolk village and simply wonderful experience and professional staff.

Real ale, varied menu with fabulous puddings. Pleasant service and surroundings. This part of Suffolk not so well known but it’s easy access to Clare, Cavendish and Lavenham. A quiet treasure and well worth a visit.
