The Crown Restaurant Bar

We booked an outside area for a birthday celebration on Saturday, the weather was a bit wet, however, Shaney kindly offered at short notice to move us under cover on the patio and even helped us decorate the area. The buffet food we ordered was fantastic and plenty of it. The bar staff were all extremely friendly and very helpful. It all made for a memorable birthday celebration. Thank you, Shaney, Gary, and the hardworking team.

After recent discussions with the regulars and management, thankfully the management have listened and a choice of Ale are now available. This has been a long time coming. Well done to Area manager Steve management for listening to your regular customers. All we need now are the front windows to be unlocked to let the flies out and all will be good.

The service at this restaurant was fantastic. Amy was extremely helpful, pleasant, and friendly. Our only disappointment was the Eton Mess dessert, which lacked meringue, and the "summer berries" that turned out to be mostly blackberries in a juice, almost resembling a compote. However, the rest of our meal was absolutely delicious. The kids enjoyed their meals, although the price of the ice cream was a bit high.

The restaurant has recently implemented a £5 service charge, which we found rather steep considering we only ordered small plates and dined outside on wooden picnic benches. The quality of the food was average at best, so we felt there was no justification for the additional charge. However, we did appreciate the attentive service from the waitress. Thank you.

Decided to spend out bank holiday Sunday here for the terrific pub garden and village pub feel. Unfortunately this is where the positive feedback stops. Prices: Being charged different amounts for the same round on several occasions. Food: Ordered some snacks from the quiz night menu. In delivery we were told we shouldn’t have been sever the food as we wasn’t participating in the quiz. Over £20 for a handful of chips and some nachos that was pretty much a bag of tortilla chips with some relish dumped on them. Very poor value. Drinks: Biggest disappointment of the day. Mainly drinking Guinness and neck oil which was served in Brooklyn lager glasses with no life in them. The pub wasn’t what I would describe as busy so no excuses for me. Overall disappointed with our visit and will look elsewhere next time.
