Stumbled across The Crown Inn whilst trying to find a pub which served late Sunday lunch. We arrived at the bar at 15:10, ten minutes after they were supposed to have stopped serving their Sunday Carvery. In front of us were another group of 4 who had done exactly the same. Our lateness was absolutely no problem to the staff, they quickly took our drink order and told us to go and get our Carvery. That too was no problem for the Chef, he cheerily served us with three good slices of meat (Beef, Gammon & Turkey), none of this Toby Carvery waffer thin carvings! After getting our meat, we then helped ourselves to a good selection of veg and there was plenty of it. In addition to the veg, there were Yorkshire puddings and sausages if you wanted them. Finally, there was lovely thick gravy and all the sauces you could ever want.
By the time we got back to our table, all our drinks were waiting, so we were ready to tuck in to our Sunday lunch. The meal was excellent. All the meat was cooked perfectly and all the veg was delicious too.
The staff were extremely polite and never rushed or hassled us and they hadn't even asked us to setup a tab when we ordered our meal; they just set it up automatically.
Nice to have found a great, laid back, friendly pub that serves an excellent Sunday lunch.
Definitely looking forward to going back; we'll make it a bit earlier next time!
Service was excellent, food was excellent & the pub was beautiful. I was hoping the dogs would have come to say hello, but sadly not. Will deffo recommend to friends
The food was amazing!
I had chicken, gammon and leek pie with veggies and mash. And homemade gravy. It was cooked to perfection. A proper suet pie. Delicious! Family and dog friendly. Overnight stopovers for motorhomes too.
Friendly atmosphere. Good service. They have special nights most evenings. Our night was fish and it didn’t disappoint. It’s a beautiful local but hidden pub. Would definitely recommend.
Popped in for Friday night supper. I had Beef Cobbler which was delicious and my partner had a pasta dish with seafood. The weather allowed us to sit outside in a large beer garden. Would definitely visit again
Excellent food and service, friendly and welcoming. To quote a local "never had a bad meal". Will go again. Nice view from the garden.
Been here a few times and was a bit disappointing. Only 2 meat options available. Beef was great. Turkey wasn't, hadn't been roasted, appeared to be steamed so had a very anaemic appearance and a very wet texture. Yorkshire were excellent. Roasties not very crispy. Parsnips beautiful. Peas , carrot pretty tasteless. Cauliflower cheese looked great but really needed something to lift it. The lack of seasoning is a real issue with all the veg. Pudding no complaints
Excellent lunch in the garden, nice helpful staff and something different from the usual pub grub on the menu. Sunday carvery is also good, best to book for that, 3 meats on offer plus veggie option.
May 22 update, another nice lunch, great staff went extra mile to cook scampi even though not on menu that day
June 23 back for lunch again, good as ever
Simple, Nice pub lunch! We arrived on our dirt bikes and sat using the benches provided outside. Food was served fresh and in a timely manor. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. Very nice atmosphere within the pub. Will be visiting again, hopefully covered in less mud next time!

I ordered a Sunday dinner, chose the roast beef option. Was very pleased with the food and service. However we were a bit jammed where we sat with lots of movement behind us which made it awkward. I would recommend to anyone but would definitely try to get a better table spot.
Beautiful meal from the Christmas menu. Homemade soup was devine and the alternative terrine was popular.
Food served quickly to all 6 of the group and plentiful vegetables arrived almost immediately after the roast turkey did, served with all the trimmings.
Pudding of cheesecake was a lovely sweet treat.
The service was fantastic and we didn't feel pestered or overly bothered by the staff but the attention to detail was very apparent.
We will be back again and look forward to the visit.
Had a lovely meal with family. Had a warm welcome and food was delicious.
