"We visited the Crown on Sunday . We felt customer service was poor, we waited 20 mins before we had to go and ask if anyone was able to take our order only to realise the table behind us who came in before us had also not ordered food either. We were never asked if everything ok . Other than the fact we were hungry we may have been more critical re food but it was typical pub food . We also ordered drinks and had one completely wrong . Then bill was wrong and 12% service charge which we didn’t feel was justified so had that taken off . Would we re visit? Based on our experience and possibly when other places could be tried. No. Better staff training could have made this experience more positive as clearly staff were not working as a team ."

"My other half and I had an evening meal here, which was simply the best meal out we’ve had in a long, long time. My OH had a chicken satay starter fabulous. Not too sweet, had real live bits of peanut in the sauce, and came accompanied by cucumber and salad. For mains, I had flat iron steak with pepper sauce, peppers, courgette, roast garlic and perfect chunky chips (think that was it). It was cooked to perfection and such a relief to find a pub that doesn’t roll out an overcooked steak with the ubiquitous onion rings, half a tomato, mushroom/s and skinny chips. The OH had salmon, which came with crushed new potatoes and lots of nice veg none of which he can remember this morning. Hey ho. Dessert for each of us was a pavlova with whipped cream, zingy lemon curd, raspberries and strawberries. This was just as fabulous as everything else. So impressed. Every dish was artfully presented, the flavours considered and the cooking absolutely spot on. Not a soggy vegetable in sight. Lovely people, too, our waiter was a smiley gentleman from Turkey and the chef and (we believe, although this is an assumption) his wife, who incidentally brought the food out themselves (nice touch), were Kiwis. Altogether a lovely experience and one that I recommend wholeheartedly to others."

"The restaurant review begins with a sign saying "wanted customers," which sets the scene for what is to come. Despite the grubby interior, the diners still hoped for good food. However, they were disappointed. The service was below average, with the husband's pie arriving five minutes after his vegetables. The lasagna was unlike any they had ever seen, with no pasta sheets, just bolognaise covered in cheese. The dish was overly greasy and unpleasant. They were not offered a child's menu, even though they had a child with them. Overall, the experience was appalling in every aspect. It was clear that the restaurant needed to improve in order to attract more customers."

"Really nice little village pub! Quite a hectic atmosphere which we actually really enjoyed, was lovely being around lots of people having a good time. The food was really fantastic, I had a surprisingly light and flavourful rack of ribs with lovely Slaw and chips. My partner had a chicken and brie burger which she enjoyed but I think we both would have quite liked some greenery somewhere on the plate. Completely understand if they forgot however as it was very busy. Overall a good experience!"

"Although we'd not booked and there was a large group expected, the manager was extremely accommodating and gave us a perfect spot by an open fire. We're very grateful. The food was delicious! My partner had an excellent chicken and leek pie, with new potatoes and mixed vegetables. I had a fabulous pan fried goat cheese salad. The establishment is a fine one managed by someone with really high standards, and with friendly and efficient staff. Thanks, all!"
