Great pub ran by Ian and his friendly team. If you're looking for a traditional pub with Music, pool, darts decent beverages, nice garden and great pub grub then the Crown is definitely worth a visit.

Excellent pub ran by the Excellent Ian and his team. Staff are incredibly friendly and the service is first class. This is a beautiful rustic pub that holds all the charm and character that suits its location. Beautiful well maintained 3 tier garden level to the rear and a heated patio on the front. Great choice of beers it's no wonder this place holds awards!Thanks team, Ledders!!

Menu offered smaller children’s meal at cheaper price. Asked if I could have it as restricted diet currently and waiter stated ok. Chef served me the ‘smaller’ meal which was tasty.However - The landlord charged me for large portion and stated that the smaller one should not have been offered ?The waiter had confirmed it was ok, it clearly offered it on the menus but landlord still charged for large !His customer care was non existent and will 100% not enter the premises again (Second visit and issues both times) plus will suggest to family, friends and others to do the same !Customer care and rights completely ignored !

I would love to be able to have this pub as my local, we only went to have a quick pint before we went for a walk around the Basingstoke Common nearby. Loads of dog, we were welcomed by locals, had nice chats with people and the barman was quick and gave us some local advice on good walking routes.

1st visit, will be back. Bar peep very attentive and likeable, customers polite and welcoming but the highlight was Arnold. What a little dude he is.Will score 4 for now as wanted food but will certainly pop back again.Wheelchair accessibility: Fair if a little narrow.

We stopped here for our lunch date.The pub is a bit out dated and can do with a revamp but the food and service was fantastic, highly recommended. We will be visiting

We called in here for lunch and a pint. Friendly welcome. Nice pint of Pride. We had minute steak baguettes which came with chips. All quickly served...hot and tasty. Will definitely return.

A quiet village pub. Secluded garden to the rear and benches at the front which catch the evening summer sun.

I've been going to The Crown on & off for over 20 years and have witnessed multiple changes of management and service offerings in that time - including various attempts at turning this establishment into a restuarant and/or a gastropub. In my humble opinion Ian & Niiki should be congratulated for turning the pub back to what it always should have been - a Village Pub. Granted that there are no longer any "airs & graces" or pretence in trying to be anything it isn't but the atmosphere is welcoming & friendly thanks to the management & staff in spite of the challenges within the hospitality sector in the current climate.
