The Crown Inn

Nice rooms and very friendly staff! Can’t beat the value for money in particular, and great location near the town centre. Can just walk straight out to the market on the first Saturday of every month and go to a lot of very nice stalls. Would recommend.

We are lucky enough to stay at this hotel on business The rooms are beautiful. So comfy and lovely toiletries (in big bottles you leave in room but can buy) The food is fantastic. Great menu , fresh local produce. The garden is so well cared for. Think his name is George who looks after it. To sit in their garden is like sitting in a bit of paradise

Bloody Marvellous. Booked in for a night. Lunch in the garden. The magnificent flower displays create secret gardens so that you can isolate yourself, although it was busy. That’s the case when a pub does something well, it gets popular and as the regulars pack in it creates unexpected demands on the staff. When we were there the friendly staff coped superbly always on their feet and dashing to & fro to keep folk happy. They achieved their goal. Service like that only comes from dedicated management. The same goes for the gardens which are spacious – all kept neat clean and tidy by professional staff. Car park too was litter free. Seat cushions are put under umbrellas at night to prevent them getting wet and all get replaced the following day. The evening turned out to be a repeat of lunchtime but even more so, Mid-week and the joint was jumping. Parties of folk, young and old all out for a fun evening. Atmosphere was invigorating. The room was superb. Put together with thought and a deep purse. Comfy bed & pillows. Bed-side lights more of a decoration with insufficient light to read by. But there was a portable standard lamp. Breakfast was somewhat sedate but all the more enjoyable as it was cooked to order & not delivered from heat trays. A selection of daily papers. You will have got the impression that we were impressed. Speak as you find. This pub certainly sets a standard for others to follow. Sitting there watching the world go by I came to realise that the price of my stay covered a broad spectrum of overheads. I forgot to mention the location – stop the world I want to get off – rural England at its best.

Took the wife for our wedding anniversary and had a lovely 3 course meal and the team of waiters,waitresses and chef's made it special by giving us a free dessert decorated with a message written in chocolate for our wedding anniversary...really nice touch and we will definitely be eating there again...a really nice pub/restaurant thanks to all the crown team

A good selection on the menu and all 3 courses were delicious. We shared Camembert to start and we both had chicken breast and apple tart which we throughly enjoyed. The staff were welcoming and there was no delay with courses arriving. I would definitely recommend.

This is a very nice place. The food is superb and the staff friendly. It’s very spacious and the interior is lovely. I would highly recommend this place. I thought it was very good value. I really like the outdoor area too. Even on a Monday evening it was popular, which is not surprising.

The perfect stop over - excellent food, staff and accommodation. Our booking was very last minute and we managed to grab the last room available, we also booked the latest table in the restaurant as we were still en route. When we arrived, the guy who booked us in was friendly and gave us his full attention even though the bar was busy. Nothing was too much trouble, the bed was to die for and the food was faultless. Excellent, we will definitely be back.

Stopped here for lunch on a beautiful day. Attentive, prompt and friendly staff, really good sharing platter - why is this not on the menu at all Chestnut Inns establishments? - and reasonably priced, as were the ales. The pub and the gardens very well maintained indeed

Visited The Crown with our lunch group. Found the meals were incredibly overpriced . One of the group had a nothing special burger for £19!! I had the hake 'catch of the day' at £25. I was certainly caught !!. The portions were minimal. Very small piece of fish. Potato was four small cubes of rosti. A piece on 'green' and some asparagus. My wife is garlic intolerant and had agreed an alternative sauce to go with her choice of chicken but she was told when the chef plated up garlic sauce had been put on the chicken so we had to wait 15 minutes for replacement . Not a very satisfactory experience.
