The Crown Inn

Lovely gardens for a summer lunch. The grounds are beautiful and well tended. Lovely extensive menu that offer small plates as well as larger mains. Thouroughly enjoyed the small haddock and chips which came with a small pot of mushy peas and a small pot of tartare sauce. The batter was lovely and crispy and didn’t taste fatty at all, equally the chips. My friend had the burger, which was a tower filled with lettuce, tomato and slaw to accompany the burger. She was a little disappointed the slaw was a meagre offering in the burger rather than a more substantial side.

I’ll be back Fantastic place, beautiful rooms, gorgeous food, what more could you want. Thank you!

Booked a room for much needed tranquility, peace and views of beatiful Dedham Vale. Was given room with view of building site complete with builders in hard hats and sound of banging, drilling, clanking and a huge iron fence with industrial green and orange netting on what was supposed to be the terrace. This is certainly not what was shown on the website. We weren't told about this on booking. We were given a less luxurious room, with no discount. Very disappointed. Just be honest if you've got the builders in.

We have been visiting this pub over the years when in the area on Sundays for dinner. It remains hugely popular with its attractive village location, very friendly staff and always good food and service. However, it was noticed that the standards of cleanliness were not up to standard. We had a sticky table that had not been cleaned thoroughly particularly around the edges and the disposable paper bin in the ladies was overflowing just as examples.

Went there 22nd of february a table for ten my my 70th birthday .Been in hundreds of restaurants in my life but this was one of the worse . we were presented with the very limited menu and approched three times in two minutes asking if we could hurry up and order as the chef was waiting to go home . this was at 7 pm!!!! after being badgered to hurry up we were presented with sub standard food .My three inch square of wafer thin steak looked lost sitting on its own. and when i asked if anything accompanied it i was presented with a dozen mcdonald like fries 15 mins later after the steak was cold . i asked if they did a side salad and was then brought a small bowl of just iceberg lettuce!!!!!!! My family didnt fare any better either . Thank god my son brought a birthday cake in of we would all have left hungry and dissapointed .. Ten tiny inadequate dinners ,and i use the word dinners loosely for £ 300.No wonder the chef wanted to get home quick before the complaints started rolling in.No one complained as they did not want to spoil my birthday surprise but it was outrageous and i dont know how they get away with it.Give it a wide berth .i saw it got good reviews.. Who by i wonder? People who have never eaten out before. I could have been worse i guess if it hadnt been my 70 th birthday and been my 90th it could have been my last supper

Best Stay In A Long While Lovely place with great food! All the staff are very helpful.
