We visited with a group of 10 friends for an evening meal, the staff were very pleasant but we had a mixed bag with the quality and quantity of the food. Firstly they had completely run out if one of the specials, easy to advise when you sit down at the table not when you have chosen your order ! Secondly the prices are reasonable but what was extremely disappointing was the high price tag for the calamari rings, when they arrived there were 3 rings, I don’t think calamari is an expensive seafood in the realms of scallops when 3 would be acceptable, needless to say this was returned. Lastly the main courses, some where good, some not, mainly due to over salting of the vegetables and seasonin...
I have visited this restaurant a number of times in the past (going back around 10 years though) and I've always had a very good experience until recently.. We were a party of 8 people during a very busy Christmas time. I ordered a beef (Sunday Roast) and it was terrible! Fatty and overcooked. The trimmings very soggy and gravy very thin. This was a £20 meal and definitely not worth it. I would have expected something more.. The service was okay but not very attentive. I'm assuming because it was a very busy period. Then a 10% service charge that I should have asked to be taken off but I didn't.. Based on my recent experience, The Crown wouldn't be my first choice but as I have fond memories...
We came up for a family funeral where the after service 'get together ' was held. Due to the distance we travelled, we also decided to stay over in two of the rooms at The Crown. Staff were attentive and excellent in the service they provided a credit to the place. Rooms were clean, warm and cosy with everything you would wish for and more. We thought the food drinks were good value having eaten in the evening there and the included breakfast with the room rate was more than enough. All good quality and always served with a smile. Large car park and free WIFI would recommended
We had a wonderful birthday dinner with my family at this restaurant. The food was fantastic, especially the sharing roast dinner with generous portions that I couldn't finish. The pork crackling was the best I've ever had! The service was excellent, with quick orders and drink service. The staff checked on us multiple times to make sure everything was to our liking. The atmosphere was great and we left very impressed. We will definitely be returning. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

The restaurant was not crowded, but it took 30 minutes for our food to arrive after ordering. The Calamari was lukewarm, but they replaced it without any problem, which was a positive. The butter was too hard to spread on the bread. The olives were decent, and the children's meals looked okay. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.
The fixed price menu is outstanding value. The food is the high quality food you expect from The Crown and 3 courses for less than £20 (even cheaper with a loyalty card) is quite amazing considering the ever rising costs in the hospitality trade. And of course it goes without saying that the service was, as usual, first class.
I had another amazing dining experience at The Crown. Their roasts are excellent and the staff is wonderful. The wine selection is also great. As a vegetarian who doesn't enjoy nut roast, they always accommodate my preferences without any issues, and I truly appreciate that.
We went here on our company Christmas meal drinks. The meals were very good served with a friendly polite attitude. All around good atmosphere pleasant staff.

Great food and service would recommend for bottomless brunch. Staff were very accommodating and definitely worth the price
Food OK nothing to write home about.And then they add a 10% service charge. Madness you’re not a top restaurant.
