Yes , at &70 for lunch for a couple that see these trips out as a real treat the food should be good. It’s was fantastic, Sea Bream cooked to perfection, my Pork tenderloin was succulent and well seasoned. However, the top shout goes out to lovely Lucy. Working the Summer season showing passion for the Crown and customer service beyond her years. Happy birthday to my wife Lou, and a big tick to anyone taling their special someone to The Crown in Stoke By Nayland. Fantastic ❤️

Overnight stay happened to be when Beer and Cider festival was on. Had fabulous weather so an very enjoyable evening. Good event, the team worked very hard to put it on. In terms of The Crown, we had a very enjoyable stay. Staff helpful and friendly. Dinner was good quality and nice accompanying wine list. Accommodation was good, excellent shower! Room was quite hot but bearable. Good breakfast, cooked was very good but buffet selection seemed a little lacking when compared to other Chestnut places we have stayed at. This is only a minor observation and in no way tainted our stay. We will come back

We had a dinner, bed and breakfast stay, the room was lovely and the food was excellent! The person who served us our evening meal was really good, knowledgeable and entertaining. The very well-tended garden must be one of the best pub gardens around.

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.

The steak was neither seared, thick enough to be tender and was 30% optimistically meat the rest being gristle and fat. No wonder they provide a Bowie knife to cut it. service was snaillike, we were told we had to vacate the table by 8 o’clock..

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.
