The village is stunning, and this renovation compliments it well. A big place, with huge gardens, right next to the church.. You have to know it's there though, as it's easy to miss. Six of us have a lovely evening meal, everything well presented and very tasty. No-one had a bad word to say and my pulled pork pie was brilliant. Puds were good too, and all home made. Try the English wine, from the local vineyard, it's worth it!
Three courses with wine for £40 a head. Not bad at all for that quality.

I was taken here by a friend. It was our second visit and we were delighted again. We knew that the setting was gorgeous and there was outside seating but most importantly the food was excellent again. Great pub food with a twist and four notches up from standard pub grub.

Absolutely stunning location. Beautiful country pub with amazing food. I have never been disappointed with the food or service. I wish it was in our village!

Home brewed beer, really good food freshly prepared, good for families and coupes. Large garden with play area. Stream at the bottom of the garden and a warning sign about this for parents

Several of us elderly retired gents who travel extensively to enjoy our pensions are pleased to report that the Crown represents all that is good about eating out. Really good beer, good choice of food, well cooked and presented; and very pleasant staff.

I have started going here again every two or three months as I appreciate the good service, helpful time and the ever-changing menus.
The chef does provide interesting experiences for vegetarians. This time I ate a great broccoli, blue cheese and onion tart. It was made with filo pastry and looked like a flower on the plate - so pretty. It was served with a great tomato and cannellini bean salad.

Had lunch here today. The location is rural & quiet, great garden for children. The staff were friendly professional. Don't expect large portions. I had duck caeser salad, basically crispy lettuce, half a dozen pieces of shredded duck & a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. I felt it was way over priced at £10.50 for what was actually in the bowl.

The Crown used to be an old favourite of ours, but over the last few years has been through some real ups and downs, (more downs than ups).
At last it has been given a sympathetically modern and stylish make over, including the garden, which is spacious and has a fun, safe play area for kids.
I can highly recommend the warm honey bread as something to nibble while you order....it comes served warm on a wooden platter in a brown bag and just oozes flavour and comfort!
Also to be recommended are the Sea Trout and the Rib Eye as mains and the black pudding scotch egg starter.
The owners also own the Cadogan Arms beyond Bury and a couple of other pubs and are soon bringing their own micro brewery online, which should be a welcome addition, especially in time for autumnal/winter open fires etc.
It is nice to see new life being breathed back into this favourite old haunt.

Met family for lunch, I don't think The Crown has any pretensions to being a gastro pub, but it is a very pleasant village pub (one of a chain of 3 or 4). The food was decent not exceptional but worth a visit and I'd definitely go again.
We had the Suffolk ham with egg and chips, Haddock and chips, a fish-finger sandwich and the dry aged steak burger and everyone agreed it was very good, the girl who took the order just memorised everything, she was also pleasant enough. The micro brewery ales were lovely (I preferred the lighter ale), the barman knew what he was talking about and offered my brother a taste.
The interior, clean and well looked after; also the loos were clean and nicely decorated.The garden was well tended with a large lawn and a 'stream' (or trickle) at the bottom where we discovered frogs. There's children's play equipment that looks to be quite new.
All in all The Crown is situated in lovely surroundings; in a beautiful village and the little church next door ' All Saints is well worth a visit - we met a very nice gentleman who was looking after it that day.
