We haven't been here for years but it was a nice day and we wanted to go somewhere with a nice garden and good food. It turns out Friday is pizza day, not much makes me happier than a nice pub garden with a garden bar and a proper pizza hut with a wood fired oven. Others in the party had fish and chips and a lamb flatbread starter, both really good. Nice pint of brewshed pale ale, absolutely lovely lunchtime had. It would have been nice to have some tables with proper chairs as my wife struggles with picnic bench seats and it would be nice if the staff could take repeat drink orders from the table outside, but none of this spoilt the day.

The best Sunday roast in a decade - by far. Super friendly and helpful staff, great wine list and 'to die for' pineapple upside down cake. All in a beautiful setting - AND clean and comfortable toilets (there's always a downside and that's usually it, but not here!)
We're already planning our return visit; one of my party is all the way from Colchester and has resolved to bring her friends - it's that good!

What a gem of a place.
Probably the best pub lunch I've ever had, the Cajun salmon was divine.
Enormous garden with safe play area for little ones.
Would definitely recommend.Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Bit quiet when I visited but still a great pub. American blond one of my favourite beers. Food was OK. They have a large garden to the rear with play area and at weekends have a pizza oven going great for kidsFood: 4/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 3/5 …More

Such a beautiful setting for a lovely country pub, we didn't eat here, so can't comment on this, we just had drinks,but the staff were friendly & helpful and it was lovely to sit outside in the garden, with plenty of tables, an outside bar and food, & children's play area. Very peaceful and relaxing.
Kid-friendliness: Outdoor play area & plenty of space for kids to runaround

On arrival the staff were welcoming. I hadn’t pre booked a table for a evening meal. The pub was busy inside with dinners but outside in the extensive garden courtyard area it was quite.
I opted for the garden area.The service was good and the staff were happy to have a conversation.
The food was very nice and portions to satisfy the majority of people.I would recommend the venue for a visit.

Love this pub. Outside Pizza oven is a huge success. Pizzas are delicious. The chef who prepares them is a credit to your establishment. All staff are friendly, all make a fuss of my children and our dog.

Just wanted to say what a wonderful Sunday lunch today for my birthday! The staff, food, wine and atmosphere was out of this world! It was busy and the staff did an amazing job!
I used to visit years ago with my Granny and Grandad and it’s full of wonderful memories and today certainly didn’t disappoint!
We cannot for the next time!
Thank you!

Super pub with plenty of space for the kids to play.
Only downside is smokers under the veranda.
Kid-friendliness: Massive lawned area at the back. Ideal for game of cricket.

Loved it here. We came by accident and what a pleasant accident it was. Ample servings great service and wonderful food. Also, ample parking, at least for us when we arrived for a midweek lunch. My wife is keen to return, and so am I.Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Food and service really very good. Certainly well above your average pub food. Had the rib eye, delicious! It is a huge place though, which sadly rather impacts on the atmosphere. Would definitely eat here again, as a couple, but maybe wouldn't recommend it as a fun place to go for younger people or groups.
Lots of parking and outdoor seating available.

Very expensive. Had a family of 11 lunch. The pizzas were utterly useless. Hardly any toppings on them. It was so little you had trouble working out what it was ment to be. 2 out of 3 were burnt. Completely black side about 1 inche all round....
But the other food was very good 👍.
Bad experience from bad pizzas.

Te Crown is situated in the delightful village of Hartest where we met family for a weekday lunch. The eating area was spotless and very comfortable. We were made welcome by the staff and ordered drinks. The menu has a selection of starters and lunches for all tastes. The food is freshly home cooked, ample portions and was delicious.
I chose the pork schnitzel which was delicious and full of flavour. Schnitzel means to beat until thin, however the schnitzel should be beaten till it is 2-4 mm thick so chef use the mallet for longer. Having lived in Munich and Austria for 2 years schnitzel (pork, veal or beef) we one of my staple meals, so I found the choice of accompanied items strange to say the least. The items I expected to find were sweet and sour red cabbage, bratkartoffein (fried potatoes), gurkensalat (Greek cucumber salad), baked or roasted honey carrots or as a standby sauerkraut. The polenta did not work for me!!The desserts were as delicious as the lunch course.
Would I return as I did for Sunday lunch and recommend the Crown, very definately.A very pleasurable lunch experience.

Incredible gem of a pub. Lots of character, set in a dreamy location with a fantastic beer garden including a well maintained kids’ playground. The food is simply outstanding, the garlic butter and warm home bread is the perfect start, the Sundays roast are delicious and delicate, the apple crumble simply divine. The customer service is excellent, they sorted out a table of 8 during a busy bank holiday and have been super patient with a crew of 4 kids. We are typically very picky in nature (Italian and French foodies) and could not recommend this pub more highly.
