What KBeardsley doesn't like about Crown Inn:
The most expensive roast in the area does not live up to its price. For 13.95 for chicken and 18.95 for beef, you only get a small stuffing ball, a carrot, a spoonful of Swede, four tiny potatoes, red cabbage that tastes like vinegar, cold and bland cauliflower cheese, watery gravy, and an okay Yorkshire pudding. The service was also terrible, with a waiter who smelled strongly of smoke and had nicotine stains on his... View all feedback. What terry S likes about Crown Inn:
My partner and I dined at this restaurant on a Monday evening. We made a reservation, but there were plenty of available tables. I was pleased to find several vegetarian options on the menu, but ultimately decided on the Sunday roast vegetarian version. The prices were reasonable, around £17 for a main course. The service was excellent, with polite and cheerful staff. The pub has a charming thatched roof and a spacio... View all feedback.

The Crown, once a favored spot for hearty roasts, seems to have lost its charm. Diners report disappointing meals lacking in quality and flavor, with dry meats and unappetizing accompaniments tarnishing the experience. Service inconsistencies, including defensive staff and cleanliness concerns with pets, further detracted from the evening. While some patrons appreciated the vegetarian options and the pub's cozy ambiance, others were left longing for the culinary excellence of previous visits. With prices now outpacing the meager offerings, The Crown may find itself struggling to retain loyal customers amidst rising dissatisfaction.
