The Crown at Bray - Piatti

Great gastropubVery cosy atmosphere, friendly personal, quick service, awesome food.

We went on NYE... The food was very poor. Standards seem to have slipped. Sorry to leave negative review but the service was amateur too. We’ve been going to The Crown for years and so we are sad to see a mainstay restaurant of ours become jaded and lacklustre.

I was taken here for my birthday and it was one of the best pub lunch/ visits I have ever had. The service for spot on, friendly staff, the food was delicious and I was even given a little birthday surprise, i will definitely be going back and taking my dog next time as a dog friendly pub Visualizza piatti

Sad to see the decline We’ve been visiting this place for years for its wonderful Sunday lunches. Sadly, management have decided to cut costs (while increasing the price to £27 for roast beef). They have halved the amount of beef. And they have cut the number of staff. The incredibly overworked team does their best but it took 25 minutes to take our order. It’s not bad. It’s just not very good

Don 't be put off by the negative reviews; we nearly were. It is a pub, a proper low-ceilinged, beamed, comfy pub with proper beers. It just happens to serve amazingly good food. Not gastro pub food, but straightforward pub food with good size portions of beautifully cooked fresh ingredients. The fish and chips was outstanding. Service is friendly and accurate; if it was a bit slow with the first drinks it clearly prioritised getting food straight from kitchen to table.

We decided to visit only an hour prior and booked a table. They were very accommodating to us arriving later on a Wednesday evening and all staff were friendly and helpful. Menu is lovely and the food is delicious- we splurged on all 3 courses and wine. Waiting staff very knowledgeable on gluten free and accommodating to ensure I could eat as much as possible from the menu. The gluten free frickles they made especially for my request made my night, thank you. If ever in the area again will be sure to visit! Visualizza piatti

What a lovely, lovely place! Three of us sat down on a weekday for lunch. We had, between us, for mains the fish and chips (huge, chunky and delicious) to turkey (magnificent meat, gravy and all the trimmings) and confit duck (superb dish just the right amount of meat on the bone with sauerkraut, potato and carrot). For dessert we had the sticky toffee pudding (looked magnificent), the pannacotta with heritage orchard fruits (turned out to be lovely quince and truly special) and the Black Forest pot au chocolat (beautifully made, delicious and not heavy at all). I want to thoroughly recommend the food, the impeccable service and the beautiful venue itself. Parking available to the rear of th...

This restaurant has gone downhill. We decided to spend an evening at the crown as a treat for ourselves. We go to this restaurant from time to time over the years. After our cocktails which took a long time to come, we had to then prompt the waitress to take our order. I went for the Prawn cocktail and steak whilst my wife went for the breaded whitebait and steak along with a bottle of wine. The wine took a while to come, before our starters arrived. The Prawn cocktail was very disappointing, the prawns were extremely small and thin and of poor quality, I was expecting a thick, good quality prawn as I had experienced in the past. The cocktail with the prawns was a poor taste and low quality...

Have previously dined at the Hinds Head which was impeccable from arrival to the end, staff were wonderful and knowledgeable and food was divine. The Crown sadly does not have the same standards. On arrival table was not ready which was fine, waited at the bar and then seated. Staff weren’t overly attentive, very chatty amongst themselves behind the bar. After being seated the service was very slow, we felt like we had been forgotten. It took 30 minutes to take the drinks order after my husband had to prompt staff. We ordered our food whilst the staff were at the table. Bread and whipped butter was delicious, fish cakes very average, heavy on potato lacked seasoning, aioli accompaniment was... Visualizza piatti
