"Our party of six sat down at 19.05, drinks and food order was taken and drinks delivered promptly, my red wine was old, tired and undrinkable, then waited, and waited for our food, with an interim request from the waiter for more drinks, and finally food was delivered at 20.00. My wife had the sea bass, which was burnt, with the rosti potato nothing but a sad oil loaded slab; untouched. My Thai chicken curry reminded me of the “good old days” when boil in the bag was popular, with this dish not at all fresh tasting, so not finished. Only one of our party left a clean plate when we were finished, with two having the burger and leaving at least half of it, then more waiting for our plates to be cleared away, this around 20.40, and given we had eight and 11 year olds with us made the waiting more frustrating. When asked about the meal, since so much had been left, we told them politely what we thought and they did at least deduct one meal and drink from the bill, but, a wasted evening out. We thought better of ordering desserts and the highlight of our evening was dropping into Sainsbury’s on the way back home to pick up desserts. Service was poor throughout, only matched by the food; we will not be returning."

Lovely food, service and drinks. The 3 courses we had were very well presented and the portions were just right.

Lovely pub if a little pricey, more London than village pub. Amazing food and a good pint. Staff are very good with excellent customer service. View menu

Went for dinner with a visiting friend and wasn't disappointed. Great menu and so good to see that the gluten free options were as plentiful! The restaurant was very busy and we had to wait a while for our food but it was worth it, absolutely delicious, and would definitely recommend to others. We will be back!

Lovely experience here the staff were very attentive. Prompt service and a gluten free menu. One level for access and facilities on the ground floor. The garden is also a nice place to sit and have food and a drink.i would recommend here very good value for money given the quality of food. We had another visit here and I had gluten free fish and chios and it was delicious

Visited as on route while we were on a long walk in the area with the dog who was welcome in the bar area or garden. Had lovely freshly made halloumi sandwiches followed by a Pina colada crème brulé...yum! Waitering staff were welcoming and friendly. Lovely decor in the bar and restaurant. Only small improvement would be the toilets are in need of refitting. Would definitely return. Evening meal next time! View menu

The Crown in Northill is a great place for a family gathering or Sunday roast, we were doing both. We pre-booked our table for 10, and Victoria was great at communicating with us by email. When we arrived they had set up a table for us in the 'snug ' and could not have been more welcoming. Jugs of water were ready on the table for the hot weather and the kids enjoyed being able to safely run outside to the play area. Some of us had starters and the stand out dish was the battered black pudding on a bed of bacon pieces, salad and mustard dressing. It was truly divine. Most of us had roast dinner, which was beef that day and it was very tasty. The Yorkshire was huge and there was a good select...

Food was amazing; Sunday roasts were huge. Unfortunately it seemed the regulars were visited and spoken too, but we were forgotten. When I booked and paid the deposit, I said we’re booking as we’re new to the area and it’s for my birthday. We were put in a room up some steps which was lovely, but after waiting a while, we had to get someone to take our order. Our starters took a long time to come, but the main…we didn’t get till gone 3.30, when our booking was at 1.30. We had a 4 year old with us that was starting to have a strop because he was so hungry. No one ever came to apologise, or update us nothing. My sister in law asked where our food was, and they said it was coming. 15 minutes la...
