"First time visiting The Crown at Ampney Brook, drawn in by the location and the style based on the images from the web site. The looks and feel was amazing, unfortunately things started to unravel quickly. There was a wedding on, which we suspected when we really struggled to park, but got parked eventually. Experience tells me we should have just left, but the pictures from inside looked fantastic. We decided to go and have lunch, accepting that the service was going to be impacted. We sat down with the menus we’d been handed and there was some nice sounding found on offer. We waited and waited to give our order, we finally ordered food and then had to ask the waiter to take our drink order as they didn’t bother. We then waited and waited and waited. Eventually some water turned up. We sat chatting and had drank most of the bottle of water when our drinks turned up. After another long wait and several trips to the bathroom, our food turned up. I had ordered Venison cottage pie and my wife had order Chicken Club sandwich. The cottage pie was tasty to be fair, but had hardly any potato on top, which was disappointing, it also came with charred cabbage, which was really nice and added to the dish. The chicken club sandwich came on brioche bread, which completely took over the taste of the sandwich. This too was disappointing. Eventually our plates were cleared and eventually we we asked if we wanted pudding. We had by this pointed accepted that our lunch outting was going to take much longer than expected, we were in for the long haul. Our puddings of Chaux for my wife and sticky toffee pudding finally turned up.and they were fantastic, worth a wait but not as long as we’d had to wait. If the pudding hadn’t of been so good, I would have given 1 star overall, especially given the cost plus there was a 12.5% service charge added, which TBH, I hadn’t noticed until after we’d left I would suggest, if you are going to visit The Crown, go when there’s no wedding on and the car park is empty. My suggestion to The Crown (if they read this), don’t accept table reservations, as you can’t cope with the additional orders. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £70–80 Food: 4 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 5 Parking space: Difficult to find parking Parking options: Free parking lot"

"My husband and I visited the Snug bar last night with the intention of having a meal to celebrate his birthday. Upon arrival we checked with a lovely young girl behind the bar that they were dog friendly as we had our labradorJasper with us) she confirmed tthat he was fine to cone in. We sat close to the lovely fire ordered a drink and sat down to have a look at the menu thinking we had found the perfect place to relax enjoy the evening. How wrong we were....after a short while a waiter with a scottish accent) approached our table and made a huge fuss about how Jasper was laid next to the table and how he couldn't get to us. He clearly wasn't a dog lover and made us feel most unwelcome with his rude comments and ridiculous hopping around tthe table, presumably in an attempt to make a point that Jasper was taking up some floor space close to the table. I should add that at the time there was only one other person in this part of the bar and Jasper was laid quietly and not blocking any gangway past the table We both work in the leisure industry in customer facing roles and recognised that this is NOT the way to make customers feel welcome. We felt most unwelcome and an inconvenience for daring to have a dog with us. They call themselves dog friendly but the comments and attitude of this particular staff member suggested otherwise! Sadly he managed to ruin what could have been a lovely birthday meal, we will not be returning and took our business to another hotel across the road that know how to treat all their customers!"
