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.

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.
The Crown really is our happy place. 😊

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!

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 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.

Super Sunday Lunch
Both the roast pork belly / loin and the roast sirloin were perfectly cooked and just melted in your mouth. The Yorkshire pudding was light and crispy and along with a great generous selection of veg meant we were pretty full.
However we did manage to share a delicious rhubarb roly poly pudding with custard. We had not booked but were able to have an outside table.
The staff were all very friendly and helpful providing an excellent service. We will definitely be returning.

Epic roast dinner with tender beef, giant yorkshire pudding and perfectly cooked veggies. Friendly, efficient service and a lovely ambience. This charming pub is in a gorgeous “chocolate box” village with lots of footpaths to enjoy a walk before or after you eat. Follow the gravel path alongside the back garden, over a bridge and up onto the fields for some gorgeous views!

I cannot compliment the food we had enough. We both had the ham hock pie and it literally was the best pie I have ever had. If you go there ‘try the pie’ they also offer a veggie option too x

A great pub in a good location with a huge garden and some playspace for the kids and dogs allowed inside as well.
The food is superb with generous helpings. There were six of us meeting up for a Sunday lunch and between us we had roast beef (done to your taste whether pink or well done), roast pork and chicken. Huge Yorkshire puddings and a great selection of vegetables to boot. We had to make some room for a pudding though which the others had whilst I had some lovely cheeses (which had been allowed to come to room temperature as I ordered it right at the start of the meal). Good service throughout as well.

Wow! Wonderful, fresh, and flavourful food!!! This was one of the best meals I’ve had in a LONG TIME. We ordered bread with garlic butter to start, and the loaves were fresh out of the oven - they melted in your mouth! I had a feather blade steak with peppercorn sauce and my husband had one of the pies. We both left full and happy! Plus a sweet pup named Tilly who came to visit a few times throughout our meal!
