Really sorry to say, that the meal was very disappointing. We had pre ordered as we were a group. The food was bland, and most of it tasted as if it had been reheated, and not cooked freshly. The lady behind the bar/ waitress was rude. Very over priced, for the food & drinks.

I took my family to the crown for Sunday lunch we could not get a table else where. Service was OK, I had the three meat roast ,which was a chicken drumstick? A slice of beef & a slice of pork ( possibly belly) seemed odd & lacked any green vegetables, all though a big plate for £24.95 way over priced for average at best food !! For that price you should be the best for miles !! Really not shame .

Visited twice in a week. Excellent menu, massive choice, big portions and quality ingredients. Very friendly staff too. Highly recommended. They have specials each night of the week like Tuesday night is curry night. Brilliant value food.

Just stayed at the Crown Inn with our motorhome. What a perfect pub. The staff were excellent and Monty made us feel really welcome. We ate in the dining area and the food was perfect (rib eye steak, steak & ale pie). The bar are was full of local people from the village and very welcoming to strangers. There is a good story with the place as well with Tess of the d’Urbervilles. If anyone says the village pub cannot survive they need to think again. You just have to know how to do it properly!

We had a roast dinner here 3 weeks ago which was very good, so we were looking forward to another one today. Very disappointed. I ordered the pork, which I couldnt eat as it had more fat on than meat and the meat did not taste very nice at all. When asked was everything okay we did say that the pork was not nice. Nobody came over to apologize. We paid the full bill, but we won’t go back.

Three of us visited today for lunch. Each of us had something different and really enjoyed our meals. The menu is very varied with something for everyone’s taste and appetite. The venue is lovely and comfortable with lots of historic interest. The service was friendly and attentive without being overwhelming. We will definitely be returning in the near future to further sample the menu of delights . Highly recommended.

Stayed here as part of a walking holiday. Beautiful decor in keeping with the age of the inn and you really feel the history of the building. Lovely pub and restaurant, we ate breakfast and dinner there and both were outstanding. The staff were all lovely and the place is spotlessly clean.

We stayed at the Crown this weekend (husband and young baby with me) and we had the most fantastic time. We phoned ahead to arrange a room with enough space for a travel cot and found the staff to be really helpful. The room itself was decorated really nicely and to a higher standard to what I expected from a room at a pub. We had everything we needed for our overnight stay and a lovely breakfast the next day. We will very much be staying again when we are travelling again to visit family.

Super friendly staff. Great atmosphere on. a Friday evening. My fish and chips were the best I’ve ever had - a big portion and the tartare sauce was excellent. Service was timely and efficient and the staff all seemed keen to ensure that everything was ok and that I was happy which was nice as a solo diner. I’d definitely go back next time I’m in the area for work. Noise from the road is initially quite noisy but it certainly quietens down overnight.
