Review The Crown & Punchbowl - Horningsea

The best roast I’ve had in a while! Pork belly literally melted in my mouth, my friend enjoyed her chicken roast too. Cauliflower was super cheesy and yummy. Great atmosphere and welcoming service. Would deffo recommend!

Excellent meal in a great location, just off the A14. We have been to the Three Horseshoes location, which is a favourite of ours. This venue is equally as good. Will certainly be visiting again.

Ticks every box - We had the Sunday lunch, roast chicken and roast celeriac. The staff were helpful and good at making sure everything was ok. The atmosphere was good. Clean restaurant with plenty of light and space. There was no vegan main course on the menu and more and/or clearer options could definitely be added. However, the celeriac they made was really tasty! It's not cheap, but it's worth the trip.

Brand new menu with delicious plates and lovely service! Thank you The Crown & Punchbowl for the lovely dinner!!! We will certainly be back

A wonderful local pub! Rare to find these days. Very clean and lovely atmosphere. Food was divine!

Met an old friend for lunch and was nicely surprised by the Crown and Punchbowl. The food was delicious, service was excellent. Wouldnhighly reccomend.

Wow just spent 2 nights at this amazing place. A great welcome on arrival, superb room with lots of thought in the design and furnishings. A very welcome meeting at the bar, and then to dinner. Great food and menu, the staff are really attentive, excellent service. Breakfast was great both mornings . We took a taxi to the city, around 15 minutes and took the hassle of parking. Etc . Night 2 yet another fantastic meal and service. Well done all involved in the running of this place, if quality and great service matters you won’t go wrong here!

Great food. Excellent service. One slight criticism waited nearly 10 mins for my request of another Havana and ice. However great work guys food best we have had so far looking forward to returning.

What a beautiful place to stay while visiting Cambridge. Friendly staff, good food and great atmosphere! Highly recommend!

Lovely place! Very good rooms and the breakfast was among the best I've had. Excellent running by the river and if you go early you will catch all the rowing practice which makes a nice hare if you are so inclined. Highly recommended.

First drink (pint) arrived half an inch short - not a good start. Starter (soup) excellent. Main dish (risotto) average, the only warm vegetarian option. Desert good, apple and toffee crumble. Lovely setting, service was decent except the non-pint pint. For the money though? There's better around Cambridge, or go to London.

The changes to the decor are excellent, makes a significant difference. Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch for three today the fish was cooked perfectly and the bisque was very tasty. Very competent and friendly service to complement the food. Also on the wine list the Roussanne, ‘L’ Imaginaire’ Domaine des Trinités is an exceptional wine. Definitely recommend.

I can honestly say this is the worst restaurant I have ever eaten in last time I ate here was 7 years ago and I swore I would never go back. But a friend invited me to a birthday celebration there. 8 people. We had to pre book our meal a week before. The place was empty. The staff where ok at first. Soup could wine sour. And when I went to bar and asked for half a lager was told NO. There was still 6 bottles of half drunk wine and people eating. No expectation for the NO. Sorry but I will not be back there.

The food is excellent, however I was surprised how unprofessional the girl behind the bar was (young & unfriendly) and our waitress did not engage and was pretty aloof! Expected more from the staff and won't be rushing back!

I attended a Christmas meal at this restaurant along with some colleagues. We had ordered the meal upfront but then we decided to have some snacks so we chose pork scratchings. I put one of these in my mouth and immediately thought wow they are hard only to find that upon the first bite it had broken a piece of my tooth. I said to the waitress what had happened and her words were "I told them not to serve them because they are too hard", which all of my party heard. I ate the rest of my meal in quite a lot of pain and throughtout the meal the waitress continually made fun of me having a broken tooth. I had the tooth fixed by having a filling the next day which cost me £55 so I sent in a letter 2 weeks ago along with the bill and have heard absolutely nothing since. I will certainly not be going back to this restaurant.

Had a great meal last Sunday, the pork main was delicious - the sauce and veg were a real highlight! Not bad for a supplement to the meat. The vegetarian mushroom option also went down well, and glad we found room for the dessert. An excellent well presented venue with great service too

Where do I start food great,service great and cost £51.20 for 3 course set menu plus 4 drinks for two of us.They must of known I am a taxi driver and will now tell a zillion people how good this place is.well done Dennis and his boss!!!! Still full up !

Excellent in a word. Steaks superb, triple cut chips too. Lovely setting. Never got my tomato juice aperitif but never mind

Great Fairground pudding night, had tooo much great food. Staff were excellent & friendly

Lovely anniversary meal last night. Thanks to all staff especially Sarah who was lovely �

Great experience from the moment we entered until the moment we left. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the food was delicious and interesting without being pretentious (or too hard on the wallet). Would gladly come again

Excellent food, service and surroundings. I'm vegan and the cook prepared an excellent starter, not typically on the menu, and was happy to modify the main course and dessert. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Great place.

You keep pestering me, on facebook, to write a review. It is eleven months since I visited your restaurant. I am old, and I couldn't remember enough about what I had for my tea last night, to write a review about it. What I can say is that as I don't remember it, it was neither dreadful or amazing. I also remember the restaurant being rather empty, and thinking it was very odd, which makes me think it must have been pretty good. Will you stop sending me messages now, please

Great food, impeccable service and attention to detail make this little gem a real asset to the local scene. Well done guys!

Our first visit, and will not be our last. Great ales, wonderful food (we had the lamb and the guinea fowl), super attentive service and very reasonably priced for the standard of cooking. We enjoyed the whole evening.
