We live in strange times, but The Crown is a sensible business. Great food, excellent menu, and fair prices all round. Staff are welcolming and guide you through the food options. Lots to choose from. This is a town centre pub with ample monitored parking. Simply log your registration number upon entry to the pub, and as customer parking is free, keep your food receipt as a back up..no problem. The Pub chain offers a myriad of app options..join, its worth it. Only marked down one star as a fan if real ale...didn't spit any.

The manager here is a perfect host unfortunately something has gone wrong in the kitchens waited 75minutes for 5basic Sunday lunches got fed up of waiting and felt let down as it was a birthday celebration the pub was not full I don't think they could cope with a full house had full refund not a good way to run a ember Inn

My husband and I always used to go for lunch on Saturday for about last 2 years but it slowly went downhill . We found the waiting time for food got to be ridiculously long even when we went early and it was quiet ! The food was good when u got it but portion sizes were quite small for the price and chips not very good ! We went a few times and kitchen was closed firstly because they said fault in kitchen . Then we went on Saturday of bank holiday weekend and were told kitchen closed again . So we decided to give The Avian a try and very happy we did ! So we go there now . The management need to get to grip with problems as they will lose more regular customers .

The pub was ever so clean and welcoming.The staff were lovely and sweet did everything to make us feel at home, Rosie and Courtney was ever so helpful in helping us find a seat and giving us recommendations about the food.The food was beautifully presented and very punctual, very tasty I asked if they could give a compliment to the chef for me, Shannon did a great job on the food.I will be back! ?

Courtney and the manager always have a smile and warm welcome. The food is always amazing and would highly recommend this establishment.Have been to other sizzler pubs but they don't match this level of service.

In over 30 years of running pubs and restaurants I have never seen such a shambolic display of total disregard for customers. The attitude displayed is awful, total apathy to the extent I was made to feel that I was not wanted and in fact hindered the staffs social gatherings, 3 on the bar and a female who I think was the manager just talking between themselves and totally disregarding customers. I would suggest that all of them get other occupations as they obviously do not cut the mustard in hospitality. Furthermore closing hours stated are irrelevant as the outlet was calling last orders well before the allotted time, I can on come to the conclusion that the staff couldn’t get out of there quick enough! I just left and certainly will not return.

Entire experience was disgusting from start to finish Sizzling pubs should be ashamed! First of all drinks where watery and tasteless, secondly kitchen staff acting like children at the park shouting, unprofessional. Thirdly trying to pass cheap Doritos off as nachos that cost £7.79 taking 25 minutes to come, 4 pieces of chicken and enough cheese sauce and BBQ to cover 2 Nachos!! (This is not an exaggeration) took a further 20 minutes to correct it making a starter a pudding! Attitude off the staff was unprofessional and a disgrace muttering under there breath when being told about an issue rolling eyes and throwing arms in the air when they believed they were out of site. The fact that the manager was in the kitchen make's it all the more worse and owners should really be looking into this as the professional standards shown where not those of a professional business!!

Have visited this pub with my wife on several occasions only to be told the kitchen is either closing shortly or has already closed. I’m not on about 9 or 10 o’clock, I’m talking 7/7:30. I don’t get how sizzling pubs can make money as “food pubs” closing so early. It’s a shame as the place is gorgeous and when we have got food,it’s always nice. But instead we are forced to the rubbish at spoons. I know one persons opinion it’s worth much, but would be great if you open till 10pm as advertised

Great pub, lovely staff and a sun trap of a terrace out front. Guinness was on point also so winner all round.

Went as a big group 11 of us in total , Food was presented well , didn't have long to wait for it , Table service was great . We all enjoyed our food and would definitely go back again soon to try other meals on the menu , we had a good choice of foods . Luke served us well and looked after us making sure we had anything we needed, Considering we were a big group all our food was served piping hot with no complaints at all . Keep up the good work .

Visited yesterday for Sunday dinner with my family. At first I thought they were still a carvery but was not disappointed by the change. I had the chicken dinner and my husband had the beef. Both were delicious. We was served by kourtney and another lady who took interest in my children and service with a smile.I could not fault the whole experience. We will be back next week!

We had a lovely evening with family, the food was great value. We had a blip with arriving times but managed brilliantly by Jeff who went out of his way to make sure everything was sorted. We had a fabulous evening and will definitely go back ????????
