I visited here recently with some family. Right from the start I noticed issues. The barmaid just gestured to our table and we had to find our own menu’s. I asked for a wine list but none came so had to remind. Then I had to chase to order the wine. Then food arrived and I had to chase for the wine as it hadn’t arrived. I asked the waitress to put the carafe in the fridge as it was a bit warm then I had to ask her for more when my glass was empty.
The staff knew no details about the menu. WHY? Are they not shown the food so they can speak knowledgeably? My father ordered a rib eye steak and it had to be sent back as it was 90% gristle. We asked the chef to come out and explain why he thought it was ok to serve this but he wouldn’t. They made my father a burger replacement which was ok.
My fish cakes were ok. Pretty average. But the thing that The Crown needs to work on is the service. The staff seem young and inexperienced and just don’t care. Dreadful front of house is letting the whole place down. Sort it out because until you do, we won’t be back!

From the moment we arrived the staff could not have been more helpful. Despite being a busy day for kitchen service our food was prompt, hot and tasty. Great selection of beers and wines. Will definitely visit again.

A wonderful night at the Crown, greeted by the Team and shown to the table.
Great service, discreet but attentive, with the specials showing an exquisite understanding of the seasons bounty.

We took a party of 30 to the Crown and I cannot fault the food or service. We had pre-ordered and everything was served quickly and correctly. The service was efficient and friendly. They even accommodated a diabetic and a garlic hater! Lots of happy diners. Will return soon.

We haven’t been to The Crown for many years, but had heard some good reports so thought would re-visit. There were 6 of us. We had a good welcome and there was a handy space so I could stay in wheelchair which is easier. Still and sparkling water was immediately placed on the table. No pushing to buy alcohol straight away. It was such a hot day so this was very welcome and a few of us couldn’t have a drink because of driving. 4 ordered fish and chips, one had Suffolk ham which looked a very generous portion and one had a vegetable tagine. There was quite a wide choice.
Desserts were very popular. I had chocolate brownie which was excellent and others had panna cotta and a ginger cream dessert and ice creams. There was no sense of pressure to leave. Easy parking and flat access. Excellent for disabled access. You can also sit outside if you wish.

Shared the cheese platter with the other half, it was lovely, surprisingly accompanied by some freshly baked bread which stole the show! If you're not into cheese the onion rings are also amazing!! Brilliant value, service and food, triple thumbs up!!

We were lucky enough to visit on a Wednesday when they have a "Pie and a Pint for £11" offer but we were tempted by the pork crackling starter. Our pies, a venison and a chicken/leek with buttery mash and cabbage - beautifully presented and very tasty. Our best of intentions not to have a dessert disappeared when we saw the menu - the panacotta and the lime and ginger cheesecake were absolutely delicious.
The staff were really friendly and helpful and I would certinly recommend this pub if you are in the area.

We have been here several times over the last couple of years, the food is always excellent and the staff polite and helpful. It is not cheap, so we only go occasionally for a treat, or special occasion. But it is one of our favourites.
