Nice pub and location. More upmarket food, good presentation but for the money it lacked taste and quality. Took orders at the bar but then the card machine asked if I wanted to tip, cheeky. Much better options elsewhere.

Had Sunday lunch with some freinds to celebrate a birthday. It was very difficult to fault; superb food, well presented , substantial portions and piping hot, great staff, knowledgeable and friendly and could not have been more helpful. Great location, and atmosphere. This will be our pub lunch place of choice from now on.

The Crown at Hartest - one of those lovely Suffolk villages - is the perfect pub. At the end of an enjoyable sunlit walk, we received a warm welcome and ate a great lunch.
Wednesday happens to be 'pie-and-a-pint' day, so that's what I had - a superb chicken and ham pie, plus a great pint of Brewshed bitter. Mrs B had fish and chips which - as a connoisseur - she proclaimed very good indeed.
In fact, it was all so enjoyable that I forgot to take photos of the whole meal - but this one of the pie on soft buttery mash probably tells you all you need to know.
A big call-out for the service, which was attentive, friendly and made every customer feel special.
Whether you do the circular walk first or not, the Crown is definitely the kind of village pub to go to, grab a drink, and enjoy lovely, unpretentious well-cooked food.

We visited for Christmas Eve dinner with our parents and our daughter. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. My only gripe was that when we entered we were immediately met with a bar area full of loud locals enjoying a drink and there was nobody to seat us at our table so we had to wait at the bar to be served and ask the bar staff to seat us, which took some time. The locals at the bar weren’t overly friendly or in the Christmas spirit so it was a bit awkward.

We recently hosted a family event at the Crown. Good advice beforehand, excellent food and service on the day made it very special. The children enjoyed the outdoor area. Thanks to everyone involved.
