• "My first time at Coleham Tap. Pleasent atmospher, good bar service. We didn't eat. We were a group of 7, having drinks for my friends 60th. The view of the river was obscured by the self seeded saplings, a bit disappointing really."
• "This place is… a dump. Owner serving vile. Food… bad. Over all a place that is trying so hard to be good that it’s absolutely unbearablle.,not fake just delayed"
• "New owners, also been refurbished. Nice atmosphere, very cold in there. Food not too good."

• "Great location. Great staff. Always a warm welcome & efficient pleasant service. Special mention to Caspar & Jen who always make myself & other customers welcome"
• "Its a pub. Food is ok. Soup is only half full when get it (not sure what that's about). Table tops are sticky( they feel like they need to be clean) but I'm told it the cleaning agent ."

Cons:

• "Well looking at all the 5 star reviews I was hoping for some good food so was really disappointed when it finally arrived."
• "We gave the Crown 5 stars recently but our second visit was not so impressive. The veggie burger tased like a cheap frozen one, and the lasagne had a slimy texture and very little meat in it."
• "I booked a table a few days before, asking for an outside table because I was taking my dog and wanted to sit outside with him. Upon arrival I was told the table was inside (very hot for us and the dog) and that tables could not be booked outside."
• "Ordered veggie sausages and mash, double checked it was definitely veggie (I am strictly vegetarian) and part way through was informed it was pork. Replacement meal was provided fairly quickly."
• "The Crowns location has always been superb, but also a welcoming environment from everyone adds to it. Great for meeting friends on an evening, weekend stops when in town, and bringing the kids for afternoon lunch, always happy to visit the Crown."
• "This was disgracefull horrible brown fish harder than a rock and was covered in scaily skin horrid service and sticky musty crusty dusty tables/chairs STAY AWAY!!!!!"
• "I like to sit by the river with a drinj i used to like the food but its gone down recently, and the last 3 times the landlord and partner were fighting it felt awkward"
• "The service is brilliant. Casper is great with customer service and same goes with all the lovely staff behind the bar and staff serving food. The food is always amazing and the timing couldn’t be any better."

Value for Money

• "Very friendly welcome from the manager. Service was good and prompt. Food quality was excellent and the prices extremely reasonable."
• "Great service, attentive staff, delicious food, great value for money."
• "The overall atmosphere was really chilled out and enjoyable."
• "Very friendly staff, well priced food with lots of veggie choices."
• "Good food, good service and a nice atmosphere. Price is competitive and seems appropriate for this type of venue."
• "Excellent food, friendly staff and good music. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. The news is on but volume is off so you don’t have the music competing with the TV, wise move. Meals are sensibly priced."
• "Great food at good prices. The service was excellent and the location perfect. I will go again and I would recommend it. Today was my first visit bit it definitely won't be my last."
• "Fabulous local pub! Recently renovated and very clean. Good atmosphere with lovely bar staff (Casper, Alex, Millie, Luke and Mitch). By far our favourite pub for a game of uno on game night!!"

Cons:

• "Me and bro popped in for a double rum and coke, £14 for the two drinks."
• "We had a large group booking. Drinks are slightly the upper end of the price range for the area."
• "Be warned !! The carpark at this pub has been sold to premier park.. thought we had a lovely couple of hours in the pub until we got a parking fine of £100 2 months later. 😡 disgusting !!"
• "Very nice pub. We sat in the snug, which is very cosy. Sadly, there wasn't much choice of non-alcoholic drinks. A nice non-alcoholic gin or Guinness would have been a nice treat with our meal."
• "Great place for a quick drink or for an evening out you can sit outside and drink and smoke or you can fit inside listen to the live music and watch sports it's got everything"
• "Very disappointed, ordered a steak at 7.15 on a Saturday to be told no steak, made most annoying by the fact a butchers was less than 50meters away, hunters chicken poor substitute,,,,"
• "This place used to be packed, like a ghost town tonight. No wonder when you get charged £4.95 for a lager you could buy for 99p in Aldi!!"
• "Very nice pub in summer as large outside area by the river, during football games can get rowdy and loud but this does go after the game has finished, best of all is the food which is good value for money."
