Had a two course lunch on Sunday 26.6.22 at The Crown which took 2.5 hrs. The service was horrendous and if it wasn't for the superb food, compliments to the chef, we wouldn't be returning again

I went with my family on Friday the 17th June for Pizza. I ordered a pint and 1/2 of the Pale Ale (amongst other drinks) and when I tried it it was warm. I went back and there was no acknowledgment that there might be something wrong. Basically thats the way it is. Clearly the refrigeration in the room where the beer was kept was not coping with the heat. I then ordered three Pizzas and asked that they be well done to which I was replied ' they come the way they come' in a shirty manner.
I won't be going back in a hurry.

A lovely pub and sweet helpful staff but very disappointing food. Four of us went for lunch and none of us felt that the food was satisfactory. Chicken schnitzel was extremely overcooked and consequently dry and tough. Eton Mess had half a strawberry in it! and lots of blackberry conserve.
Prices were on the high side but the standard of cooking did not match them.

Amazing country pub with a fantastic garden and good food. They used to make the best pizzas ever but they've started to use pre-made bases which ruined them sadly.

Popped to The Crown as we heard their new outside pizza oven is now open. Lovely welcome at the garden bar, ordered drinks and pizza. The pizza was amazing, really lovely and expertly cooked by Grace. A great place for families with children, lots of space for little ones to run around and have fun on the play equipment in a safe environment. Also a lovely stop off for dog walkers. We’ll worth a visit!

A really lovely country pub in high Suffolk with a warm friendly welcome, really good local ale (Brewshed pale ale from Bury St Edmunds), a great beer garden with children’s play area and plenty more to commend it. They’ve got a super pizza oven in the large garden and we found that the pizzas were excellent.

Sorry that the review is contrary to the norm, but the title sums up our experience. The reception at the bar was warm and friendly, the food was excellent, the service was dire. Did they tuck us round the corner and forgot about us?

A very well kept pub with extensive grounds and plenty of parking. The menu was interesting and different from the normal Suffolk "pub grub" that many of the big chain pubs offer in the area.

We visited The Crown twice over three days it was so good. The service is excellent- very friendly and welcoming and the food is wonderful. The menu is reassuringly small but well thought out and the specials change daily. We tried the steak, burger, lamb rump, fish and chips and pork chop and would happily eat any of them many times over. And we all agreed that the crumble was just epic.

As a restaurant owner it’s always hard to impress me and the family.
The food is amazing and the service from Demi is simply nothing short of the same. We come every month to venture from our own bar and restaurant and will continue to do so when the place is so close and so nice. Even down to the greeting and seating. Great job guys. Honestly be proud. Isn’t easy rite now is it…?
