The Crown Inn

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..

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.

We stay here whenever we can on our way to East Anglia. It's a few minutes off the A12. Wonderful rooms in the modern purpose-built annexe. Very quiet. Very comfortable. Great food, friendly staff, excellent beer. There's a shaded terrace for al fresco dining and plenty of room in both the pub and dining room. Great breakfast. Good dinner, bed and breakfast deals, especially on a Sunday night.
