Ate outside - seating areas under trees
The young serving staff, although perfectly polite, did not seem particularly enthused with their roles. Interior looked comfortable and clean. Good menu of bar food, reasonably priced

Been here 3 times in the last week and each time it has all been amazing. Great host, Oscar and an amazing staff.
Central location in the heart of Hartest. Plenty of parking and a great outdoor area with play area for children.
Do book for Sunday lunch.

Went in on the off-chance of getting something to eat. They said we're closing the kitchen in 10 mins. Saw them bring a couple of plates of Haddock and chips out. That decided us both, ordered, and not long after ours came to our table. Absolutely delicious, would definitely recommend. Lovely place to go, we were made very welcome and we'll be back to try something else.

Had a wonderful meal twice last week. Monday evening with friends, then Saturday night with family. Everything on both occasions faultless. Thank you. See you soon.

I think The Crown does the best roast dinner in the area - I really can’t praise it highly enough. Great portions, delicious veg and a huge Yorkshire pudding with extra gravy - and I had the rhubarb and apple crumble with custard for dessert - 5 stars for that on its own! The staff were friendly, efficient, attentive and always very welcoming.

Waited for 15 mins at bar to get served with drinks...there's a beam and two ladies behind bar neither thought about checking if we would like a drink.strange being a pub.also we sat at a table and thought about having a meal but the manager was talking to the couple on the next table but never thought about clearing our table.

We love this place for a Sunday pint, either in the lovely large garden or by the cosy gorgeous fire. Dog friendly and nice staff. Be nice to have some more vegan options on the menu. Lovely old traditional pub in a beautiful setting. Gets busy on Sundays so advise to book.

Great Sunday roast. Really tasty. Friendly service. Only downside is that the desserts were disappointing. Still, I’d recommend a visit and would like to return.
