    Great food,not the cheapest as pub food goes,but well worth it. £16 for full rack of ribs,which was lovely,about 15 for steak and ale pie and chips which contained a lot of steak and £19.50 for an 8oz sirloin which was cooked medium rare as asked. about 6quid for desserts.Pear and Berry crumble was lovely Nice pint of IPA as well.

    I stoped in for lunch and received a £60 parking fine for parking in the customer car park. I called the pub but their response was unhelpful. They said it was not their responsibility and they have a sign up saying cars need to be registered. It feels a bit like a scam for the parking company to make money from unsuspecting customers. Lunch ended up costing me £80 instead of £20…. The sign in the car park says customer parking only with no notice of having to sign in.

    Lovely garden area out the back! Food was great, and the puddings were superb!

    Met here for a pre Christmas family meal. Late booking and this was the only pub with vacancies, which kind of tells it's own story. The Christmas tree looked as if the decorations had been done by a couple of 8 year olds, but on to the food. An inspiring menu with one or two items 'off'. The meals were ok, but, basic. On the plus side, the pizzas we're very good and perhaps they would do well to concentrate on the pizzas and forget everything else.

    Car park robbery. My three year old daughter was having a fit in the car. This pubs carpark was the first opertunity to pull over and help calm her down. We were there 20 minutes, never left the car unattended and as soon as we had managed to calm my daughter down we left. Whilst there, we did not prevent anyone else from parking and as we were focused on my daughter's well being, did not spot the parking sign. For this we have been charged £100, £60 if we pay immediately with being threatened for the matter being taken further if we don't pay. I explained the situation to the company but they didn't care at all. I understand people using car parks can be an issue, but this was a child in distress is and wife is disabled. What an uncaring establishment. We have been thinking of dining at The Crown but if this is how they treat people then I refuse to give them my patron. How about a bit of common decency and understanding towards people rather than this money grabbing attitude.

    Fabulous afternoon tea in the courtyard today. Staff were so attentive and the cakes in particular were gorgeous. The dig had a lovely time and was very welcomed. Can't wait to go again! Nice loo by the way!

  • 5/5 Ali S. 4 months ago on Google • 53 reviews
    I was pleasantly surprised at this pub. It looks so small from the outside but in the inside it's very spacious. We had a lovely Christmas dinner the other night with old work colleagues. The food so delicious and hot. It all came out at the same time with plenty of vegetables. The waitresses were lovely and friendly, nothing was too much trouble for them. We are definitely going back here 🙌 I would definitely recommend this place to eat out 🥰

    What a lovely place. It was buzzing when we visited, great to see. Pub was beautifully designed and a nice big garden, also well looked after. Had the best bitter and Green King IPA, both excellent. Food top notch too. Fast, friendly service, we will return as soon as we can.

    Went for a Sunday lunch. It was delicious and filling. It was reasonably priced. The staff were young and very polite, helpful and courteous. The atmosphere was sedate . No yobs insight. Would definitely recommend a visit. Thank you to all the staff.

  • 4/5 Robert S. 4 years ago on Google
    Easy to find (on main road), but only a small amount of parking onsite (probably due to being on main road). Good food, decent price, good service. Nice, polite, friendly. Good basic pub, what you would expect from Greene King.

  • 5/5 helene c. 2 years ago on Google
    Superb meal! Friendly and attentive staff. Nice atmosphere and good service - not rushed nor slow. Generous portions of superbly cooked food (we had roast) and the children's roast was pretty much the same as the adults. Great wine choices and the desserts were yummy. Can't wait to come back.

    Just popped into the Crown before going for an Indian meal in Golden Moments and was very pleasantly surprised. What great pub with an absolutely fantastic beers garden. The young staff member who served me was lovely and the pub had a very pleasant relaxed atmosphere. That atmosphere could have been spoilt by a group of unpleasant and very drunk women but they were asked to leave, and this was handled so well by the young manager it didn't spoil the evening at all. Hats off to the Crown staff for not letting the few ruin it for the many as so often happens these days. A well deserved 5 stars.

  • 5/5 Holly B. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a lovely pub with a great atmosphere! The food was very nice and a very good price. Service was a little slow at times but they were incredibly busy so understandable. Great place to go for a quick bite!

  • 5/5 Paul H. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely food, great place inside. Lots of little parts to sit in to eat and drink. Nice courtyard out back too. Wouldn't expect that to look at it from the road. Proper hidden gem.

    Been driving past The Crown for as long as I can remember, last week walked through the door and was pleasantly surprised with a large gardenat the rear. Plenty of room to relax have a meal and drink.

  • 2/5 Russ S. 1 year ago on Google
    Our son recommended the Crown for a meal. Very disappointing. The starter was cold but the bowl was very hot due to it being microwaved . It was a sharing dish but had no plates offered. One of the main meals was served on a piece of wood that was so small that when cutting the food it was difficult to stop parts of your meal from falling onto the table . We also had to use the same cutlery for the main as we had for the starter. Probably won’t be rushing back .

  • 3/5 Danny H. 1 year ago on Google
    Popped in for a quick bite to eat at lunch time. As there was 13 of us I checked with the bar maid that they were serving food. To say I was met with a glare of disgust was an understatement and her rudeness continued for the rest of our stay. Apart from her arrogance and rudness the food was good value and a lovely pub. She on the other hand thought she was doing everyone a favour!

  • 3/5 Sheila R. 1 year ago on Google
    Christmas meal on Friday evening (16.12.22). Great atmosphere/ good service but parts if meal disappointing. Turkey was tender and moist and plentiful BUT vegetables were very undercooked - most were left uneaten in our table. St Clements cheesecake was very disappointing- just a plain baked cheesecake with minuscule piece of orange and lemon on top.

  • 5/5 Samantha J. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a steak, ale and mushroom pie. Absolutely delicious. Staff were very friendly. Will definitely be going back. Soon.

  • 5/5 Sian Y. 9 months ago on Google
    We had an amazing experience here with the food, staff, and the whole ambience. We are a family of 5 adults and one 3 year old and had met up to celebrate our grandsons birthday. The food was excellent, hot and tasty. Although my steak was rare, it was still slightly overdone for my personal liking. I never sent it back or complained as it was still very good. We all had good food and the staff were very lovely.

  • 4/5 Rick S. 4 years ago on Google
    Historic pub. Prices reasonable but food service slow. Very tasty hot food on hot plates when it did arrive. Serving staff could not have been more helpful. Special diets accommodated without a fuss. On site car park for about 14 cars but plenty of street parking nearby. Not bad, would go again!

  • 4/5 Susan M. 4 years ago on Google

    We went to a baby shower here. It was very nice. Finger sandwiches, coffee, tea, gorgeous scones double cream jam & mini cakes. It was very pleasant, although it was a private function so we can only advise on the food. We will go back again.

  • 5/5 Joanne E. 5 years ago on Google
    Parking great. Food fantastic. Plenty of tables and chairs so didn't have to wait long to sit down. Also a lovely garden for the summer

  • 4/5 Ian J. 4 years ago on Google
    The wow factor here is the beer garden on a sunny day. Drive past The Crown and it doesn't look terribly interesting from the road, but walk in through the generous car park and enter an oasis of tranquility. The pub has one of the best beer gardens I've been in, with a great layout of widely spaced tables and benches, with a scattering of deck chairs to free-lounge in. I'm guessing it must get really busy on the weekends, as there's a dedicated outdoor cooking gazebo. The pub was refurbished a few years ago, so looks neat, tidy and modern. This is a Greene King pub, so don't expect good beer. On tap was a house Best, St Austell Tribute, Green King IPA and Abbot Ale, all being some of the worst "beers" imaginable. (Easy to cellar, which was s why they have them). At least there was some decent lager on offer in the form of Asahi, Estrella Damm and Peroni. There is an extensive menu of pies and standard pub fare, sadly nothing that really shouts "quality" or "awesome". The vegetarian pea and mint risotto was modestly portioned, well dressed and filling, but there was no pizzaz; scampi and chips, "meh" though the chips were lovely and crispy; a margerhita pizza that was bigger than a small child, so top marks on that one for value for money. In all, the epitome of higher prices for mediocre food, so room for improvement.

    I’m not really one for leaving reviews but we have just had a Sunday roast at The Crown and I have to say it was delicious as were the deserts. I also have to comment on the staff, the waitresses and the bar staff were lovely - friendly and efficient. Thank-you all.

  • 5/5 Matt G. 3 years ago on Google
    Lovely pub nicely decorated with fantastic service. Didn't eat but food looked very good. Went back in July 2020. Covid safe and spotlessly clean. Staff were a real pleasure to deal with and felt completely safe. Food was on a limited menu but still loads of choice.

  • 5/5 Liz P. 3 years ago on Google
    It was my first visit and chosen by my friends for us to have a very much needed catch up. We had the afternoon tea in the Buda Barn and it was lovely. Both the food and service was faultless and we enjoyed it so much we're thinking of having our Christmas get together there. I would definitely recommend giving it a go and don't be fooled by what you see on the main road because it's got lots of room and space at the back. Very misleading but great.

    Delicious roast dinner today. Well done staff for excellent service

    Lovely time attending a baby shower. Unfortunately I have been issued with a parking fine. I did not register my car registration at the bar as I couldn’t get a parking space. At the end i parked on the car park to collect the mother to be and her presents. I have sent a bank statement as evidence I was there and bought drinks at the bar. Yet my appeal was unsuccessful. So moral of this tale is register your car at the bar. Otherwise don’t go to this pub as you get ripped off with a parking fine
