We visited The Crown on Saturday 16th June with friends, with it’s village green setting, from the outside the first impression was that The Crown is a traditional English pub/restaurant.
However that soon changed when we stepped inside what we found was a layout that combined sophistication and a very warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Having arrived slightly early we decided to have a drink before being shown to our table, we couldn’t help but notice that the tables were well spaced apart, this allowing for a degree of privacy, and the friendly woodburner formed a feature and focus of the room.
The menu and specials board were more than inviting and must admit we were spoilt for choice. Flexibility in the menu, substitutions no problem for the staff or kitchen, and despite a mistake being made on order for the starter, our waitress realising her mistake offered to replace the served starters for the correct choice, however when this was declined due the appealing look of what was served an adjustment was made on the bill without prompting.
We must say that we were all served decent sized portions, on each course, our food was beautifully presented, all ingredients seemed to be good quality and locally sourced and freshly cooked, there was no sign of that unmistakable taste of microwaved food
We were not rushed, and all courses were served within an acceptable time scale and all the very attentive staff couldn’t do enough for you.
Prices on the upper end of the scale
Summary:- a pleasant relaxed location in comfortable, convivial surroundings. Good food and drink with attentive service. Perhaps not every day choice, but nice for a special occasions and meeting friends.
