Just happened on this well hidden delightful pub. We had starters to share they were large and delicious.
We sat outside but the building is spacious yet snug. Hope to go back.

We have eaten here 3 times now after hearing such good things and they have not disappointed us, wonderful food and friendly professional service. What a fabulous team! Although it’s a short drive from home this is now our go-to for a bite and drink. Highly recommended.

We went for Sunday lunch and the Food was really good however service was all round incredibly slow - waited 15 minutes for a drinks order to be taken and then another 15 minutes for the round of drinks to actually arrive. Food took a very long time to come out as well. The room we were placed in was also very loud and crowded and so was unfortunately was difficult to have conversation until later in the afternoon when people started leaving.

Enjoyable evening with Mrs P. We both had the Guan beef curry with Naan bread which was very tasty. I enjoyed the best bitter and Mrs P enjoyed Sauvignon blanc. Good service and clean toilets. Recommended.

Simply cannot get a nicer dining experience than The Crown. We had a large table of family for Sunday lunch and we were well catered for. Sat us promptly on arrival and quickly took a drinks order. ‘While we wait’ bread arrived freshly baked, along with a delicious Garlic Butter and enjoyed by everyone. On to the Mains which we enjoyed with something of everything off the menu! I had incredible slices of Roast Beef, other members of our party had a melt in-the-mouth Roast pork, delicious Roast Chicken and the vegetarian option of the stuffed mushroom. All served with a huge Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes and then bowls full of delicious vegetables all along the table - with at least 3 varieties on each bowl! Extra gravy duly brought to us, along with whatever sauces we requested. Absolutely delicious and cannot be faulted at all, high class food, not some cheap microwave food. And dessert was delicious, I had a particularly tasty white chocolate and raspberry baked cheesecake which came with a very tasty raspberry sorbet, my family members chose from the chocolate tart or ice cream and some others chose a freshly prepared coffee instead. The staff were very friendly, engaged with us all, from the young children to our Aunt who’d turned 90! The waitresses were helpful without being over-the-top and we felt very looked after. Cannot recommend this fantastic High end Country pub highly enough!

3 of us had lunch here and the food was very good and the portions almost unmanageable! Altogether a great place to go. And Lara was a really great server and an asset to the place

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.

Haven't been for a couple of years, however the service, food and ambience could not be faulted. Certainly will not be leaving it so long to return. Thank you to all the staff.

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.
