The Crown Inn - Piatti

All the previous reviews were valued until the refurbishment 2 years ago. The Crown is now a very lovely pub; beer is well kept, the food is very good and...

AWFUL! Scuffy, dirty, worn out sticky carpets held together by duct tape. A small group of local regulars were playing darts and swearing their heads off....

The first time I walked in here I was disgusted, having worked in lots of pubs myself over the years the fact that there were half empty glasses everywhere... Visualizza piatti

Pop in for a drink here quite regularly and atmosphere is a relaxed and friendly, but can become a bit loud in the evening. Have also had lunch and evening meals, which have been good quality.

The question I have to ask is where is the general manager. A family member who works here booked a table for 7pm as it is Father’s Day. On entry we were told no Sunday lunches and the Main Chef is not on site just a trainee and an assistant. I have to say I cannot fault the staff who were all pleasant, helpful and very apologetic. The food delivered was sadly inedible, chicken dry, burger also dry and triple cooked chips chewy. A lovely pub and lovely staff left to flounder due to the General Manager not considering the issues.

We did not stay in the Hotel but visited this Pub on Monday night for a family catch up. Ordered two Haddock and Chips at around £15 per meal. Service was good and staff friendly but oh dear! the food was below average. Triple cooked chips were, as far as we could tell, reconstituted oven style frozen chips that were dry and all endy . We did comment to the waitress and she sent out some more fresh chips, marginally better but in no way, shape or form, lovely triple cooked chips. The Haddock was fried in a fatty, oily batter and the mushy peas portion amounted to about a tablespoonful.Wine was good but we won 't be back here to eat. Visualizza piatti

We had dinner here 4 November with another couple of friends. I thought the menu was a bit limited but when my battered haddock arrived it was enough for the four of us. With the fish came chips and minted peas and when I asked we were given lashings of tartare sauce. The portions were very generous and the staff couldn't have been nicer to us without actually joining us for dinner.Our table for 6 was in an area that is partitioned off and so our social distancing was perfect in that no-one could accidently get close to us without first vaulting a fence.The bill came in at around £90 including drinks and so a bit on the steep side for fish and chips but it was special and the service was spe...

Staff excellent, however!!! Prosecco was served at room temperature, replaced by staff, then new small bottle was slightly chilled and for a very small bottle £9.50.Now for the meal, I ordered ribeye steak at £22. Mushrooms cold, tomato not cooked, plate cold, staff apologised , replaced mushroom and tomato, again came out not cooked. Steak was fair but not good, as for what they call triple cooked chips, they are chewy and awful, the chef should hand the hat in!!!!My wife ordered steak and ale pie, pastry ok, gravy very thick, one vegetable which was underdone tough cabbage leaves.We complained and £15 was deducted from the bill.It’s such a shame lovely pub and staff very good, however it i...

I’ve visited a few times this year and good and service was great! Sadly However today, the food wasn’t great. We had 2 haddock and chips with minted peas. Peas really cold and haddock really greasy. The burgers the other 2 had were nothing special but ok.The service wasn’t great, but worst thing was the waiter who delivered our food really stank of BO! Not nice especially in hospitality sector as hygiene is a must.I did mention this to waitress I thought was senior as I left she said ‘ I know’ and I said ‘ well you need to tell him, it’s not good, Good Luck’To sum up not notice smelling an arm pit when food is delivered taken away. How hard is it to wash and spray deodorant? We all sweat bu... Visualizza piatti
