Our first time having Sunday lunch at this lovely old pub. We loved: the smart staff wearing uniform, the large wine glasses, the large linen napkins, the online booking system in addition to the delicious food. Really liked the roast pork with belly pork. The roast carrots, mashed swede and buttered cabbage were all really tasty.
We shall be back and also try the other Brewshed pubs.

Went with the family (6yr old and one month old) over half term. Great with the kids and food high quality. Great service. Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommend. Lovely village setting.

Turned up here at lunchtime, on spec with dogs, and received a great welcome. Sensibly there's one area reserved for dog diners so preventing the whole pub being overrun with muts! Seemed to work well and the dog owners were joined by some dog admirers!
Lovely pint of well poured IPA was followed by a Keens cheddar sandwich and slow roasted shin beef bap for me with a decent bowl of cauliflower soup and some excellent chips. Food quality was very good and some tempting and slightly different things on the menu. If I was to be picky I'd query whether the cheese should be grated (to go further maybe, but always seems somewhat childish but that's being ultra fussy).
Great garden which is well maintained with good children's facilities.
Finished our lunch with a lovely walk around this delightful village.
Would highly recommend and is certainly worth the detour from some of the larger neighbouring
villages. We will be back for lunch very soon.

A group of 10 of us came for dinner at the Crown and the food was brilliant. The young girl and lad that served us were the best in the place and they were the newest, happy and attentive and a real laugh.
We did, however, arrive and the table hadnt been reserved. This was despite 2 phone calls regarding the reservation. But none the less we were seated in the lovely restaurant.
We were then given the starters for our table and the table next to us, and the gap between starters and mains was very long (2 cigarette breaks long).
Sometimes things go wrong on an evening, and I understand that and despite this will definitely be back. The lovely staff and the atmosphere in the pub was a drawing factor for me. Perhaps the organisation needs sorting slightly?

Visited the Hartest with my partners family as a table of 4. It took a little finding as is hidden away but it was well worth it. I shared baked camembert to start which came with some gorgeous homemade bread sticks. The rest of the table had a stunning looking beetroot dish that tasted fantastic as well. My main was incredible. Beautifully thin pappardelle pasta with mushrooms, artichokes, caramelised onion....it was amazing. One of the best plates of food i've ever tasted. Our companions had fish and chips that they said was brilliant.
When it came to desert we had to order them all. And each of them was brilliant. The stand out had to be the orange tart with green tea ice cream. The flavour was ridiculous! So good.
Overall, your experience in the Crown will be totally unexpected, you'll think you're going to get pretty good pub food but in fact you get given meals that can rival anything you've had in your life. Will be back very soon.

The Crown is the local 'pub in my village. Pub food is usually, well, pub food. Not so at The Crown. I have eaten there many times this year and it's always good. However last week I had one of the most memorable meals of my life; cod gravadlax followed my pork belly with truffled polenta. Stupendous. Wonderful. Astonishing value. The chef, Matt and his team produce inventive seasonal produce.

The pub is tucked away just off the village green and is not obvious at first being tucked away a little.
Inside it is a real olde worlde pub and on the day we visited there was a fire burning away.
I had the roast beef which was superb and in fact was some of the best roast beef that I have tasted. The waitress said that it came from the butchers just across the green. Those that had the fish although satisfied thought that the chef was perhaps trying to be a little to clever and perhaps there was one too many ingredient on the plate. The mussels in San Miguel that we had for starters were also good.
The meal was good value for the money.
Service throughout was very good. Would definately go back if in the area again

Looked on line for local place to take Parents out for Lunch. Booked on line and indicated one would be in a wheelchair, answer came back they would do all they could to accommodate, and confirmed booking. We arrived a bit early but this caused no problems. we were greeted by two friendly lads and seated, menus given specials explained, and drinks inquiry made. Given just long enough to select meals without seeming to rush.Food arrived and to a very good standard, with portion size just about right and presented well. Deserts were as good as the main course. We were treated with friendly cheery manners which went a long way with our elderly parents. I would highly recommend The Crown as a very good place for a meal, with good food at good prices. Well done to the Staff who were present.

Dinner with friends, very busy with Christmas dinner being served, we were seated on a raised area near the Bar, service was very good as was the food and beer.
