We went for an unplanned lunch on a Thursday. Met with a friendly, warm welcome and had the pick of the tables as there were no others dining when we were there. This, I presume, is why others rate the atmosphere more highly than I do. There’s a good range of pub food and both of us were very happy with our choices (beef bourguignon and sesame chicken strips). The only real negative is that I feel the decor is tired and dated throughout but this may not be so obvious when the place is full.

It was my husbands 60th so quite a large group, the pub was very busy as always, the staff are amazing, they never stop, the food was brought to our table hot and delicious, a mix of carverys and daily menu, they let me bring my own cake which they presented better than i ever could have for dessert. Never a disappointment at the crown. Thank you x

Good pub food, big portions, decent price in a nice setting. Several proper beers on too
