Dress Code

Pros:

  • "It's definitely worth dressing up for."
  • "I like that they have a smart casual dress code too."

Cons:

  • "I do feel the The Crown pub needs to let the customers know how strict a dress code they require as this was not on the website when I booked a birthday lunch."
  • "There's a dress code here, it's a little bit posh, don't wear a football shirt or other sports top - you don't have to go overboard but smart casual is the safest bet."
  • "It is essential to point out there is a set dress code after 7pm, no shorts and t-shirts."
  • "I also thought the dress code was rather over the top for a glorified pub meal."
  • "We were also surprised to see the dress code is no longer being enforced - a table of teenagers in tracksuit pants and hoodies were across from us."

Service

Pros:

  • "The young waitress- Helenia was very attentive and constantly moving from table to table, making sure all diners were looked after."
  • "Brad is absolutely amazing. He looked after us really well."
  • "Must mention Lily who looked after us all evening who was friendly and looked after us very well."
  • "Exceptional service tonight from Frankie for food and drinks."
  • "A special shout out to Jess and Tom, always great service and so lovely every time!"
  • "Our sever Helaina was exceptional! She was so attentive and friendly and we all said how professional she was from start to finish."
  • "We were made to feel very welcomed and relaxed by Brad, nothing was too much trouble."

Cons:

  • "Be expected to wait around 15-25 mins for drinks orders at the bar."
  • "Service was appalling (they weren't busy about 15 people in the whole place), I kept having to go to the bar and break up the chatting between staff to ask if we could order drinks and food."
  • "Honestly, we were a bit disappointed. Two of us had rib eye steak at £28. One had to be sent back because it was cold."
  • "Plus the manager was very rude and abrupt."
  • "We felt super rushed, not welcomed & my best friend (who was turning 30) felt very uncomfortable."
  • "Disappointed with the service. 4 items off the menu not available. Attention to detail severely lacking."
  • "The service was pretty poor and not what you expect for the price you are paying."

Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Clean classy and good drinks!"
  • "The menu itself was varied and the food we had was delicious."
  • "Food was amazing. I totally recommend scallops with pork belly."
  • "Food was excellent."
  • "The food was good."
  • "All the food was delicious. Great choice for traditional Sunday lunch and really good vegan food too."
  • "Food was amazing and staff were very attentive."

Cons:

  • "I ordered the pork belly and was really disappointed. It was extremely tough."
  • "Food was appalling... three ppl had to send their steak back and one person's burger came out as cold as ice."
  • "Main meal.. fish and chips...utterly awful."
  • "Meals have gotten ridiculous, small and not worth the money service has gone down, will be dining elsewhere in future."
  • "Unfortunately our main courses were not hot and the vegetables were cold."
  • "The turkey main was served with sprouts so undercooked we couldn’t cut them with a knife."
  • "Food standard does not match the price, please avoid any steaks from here."

Ambiance

Pros:

  • "The venue was warm, cosy but contemporary too."
  • "Thanks to the managers Liz and Jono and their team for making our family Christmas party at The Crown fabulous as always!"
  • "Celebrated my Brothers new job this evening at the Crown. Everything about the experience was perfect."
  • "Lovely atmosphere, nice service but not enough choice on the mains for vegetarians."
  • "Fantastic food and a lovely place."
  • "A pub that feels a little more up market than others!"
  • "The atmosphere was great."

Cons:

  • "Where we were seated was directly under a speaker and the music was too loud, made ordering difficult."
  • "Overall the interior seemed really run down and didn’t help that there was toilet paper on the restaurant floor."
  • "First impressions weren’t great when there was a rat scurrying around outside when we arrived."
  • "When we arrived the noise in the restaurant was so loud we couldn’t communicate with each other at the table and found it difficult to communicate with our server."
  • "Cold peas with the Fish and Chips. 2 rounds of bread and butter cut in half so a half a slice of bread for three of us and half a slice left to fight over."
  • "Several people on our table of 8 ordered a steak and only one of them arrived cooked as requested. All of the steaks were COLD."
  • "The dining area itself is grubby especially the carpet, making it look like a run down pub with some nice touches."
