Stayed at Foxglove lodge for 3 nights and dined at the crown. We were blown away by the quality of food and comfort and peach of the lodge. Such a remote and beautiful countryside with many places to walk. Manager was really helpful, gave us a map and everything. We will definitely be back 100% - my only wish… was that I want to live there now 🤣

I cannot stress how helpful and considerate our waitress and the chef were in accommodating my food intolerances. I was made to feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble for them. The service and food was excellent and the apple tarte tatin was amazing! And our dogs were welcomed too!

Disappointing. This used to be my favourite place to eat but I doubt I will be going again. I ordered a burger which was tasty but arrived with what I would describe as frozen mass produced straight cut chips, no garnish whatsoever. My burger looked somewhat lost on the plate I can only describe it as a minimalist meal. My dark chocolate gateau promised to be a delight but again although tasty was no bigger than a Kipling sponge pudding and was a whopping £11. The ambiance has changed, it was loud due to groups of drinkers a far cry my the sophisticated environment for a family meal it once was. Not worth the money whatsoever.

4 stars for room etc. but only 1 star for evening meal. Celebrating my 70th birthday, had been to The Crown before, this time we booked one of the new lodges which was lovely. Nice warm friendly gentleman greeted us and showed us to the lodge. Unfortunately the evening meal was a let down. Undercooked rubber scampi and salt on chips which wasn't shown on menu, and I am on a low salt diet so was very disappointed with the whole meal. Waiter was very good offered to have a new meal cooked but I declined. Breakfast was very good, pity the previous days meal wasn't as nice.

It was a busy Saturday night and we were shown to our booked table. There was a mix up with our drinks order which delaye the final delivery. 3 0f us had the sea bass and out of the 3 dishes I received the smallest. I chose not to complain as it was busy. for £24 I expected more than a small half fillet.

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.
