The Crown Inn

Visited The Crown with our lunch group. Found the meals were incredibly overpriced . One of the group had a nothing special burger for £19!! I had the hake 'catch of the day' at £25. I was certainly caught !!. The portions were minimal. Very small piece of fish. Potato was four small cubes of rosti. A piece on 'green' and some asparagus. My wife is garlic intolerant and had agreed an alternative sauce to go with her choice of chicken but she was told when the chef plated up garlic sauce had been put on the chicken so we had to wait 15 minutes for replacement . Not a very satisfactory experience.

Arrived around 18:45 when our reservation was booked for, no one to take us to our table, had to ask someone behind the bar regarding our booking, to be told our table was not ready. Ordered drinks which came with time, then we didn’t want to waste our time to order food. Starters came quick ish, very delicious food (not worth the wait). Then the waiting began! Everyone around us being served starters and mains despite having orders placed after us, we only ordered a steak and a burger. We wait an hour and fifteen minute for our main, trying to get hold of one of the waitresses to ask about our meal was difficult as they were wondering around aimlessly. Time for pudding getting the menu was a bit difficult, once we got it we decided we have had enough and didn’t want to wait another hour for our desert, so decided on going to McDonalds for an ice cream! The only thing they brought quickly was the bill! Very disappointed as having been a customer for many year and having seeing this wonderful place go down hill is very sad.

I met a friend for lunch at the Crown, the staff were welcoming, friendly and efficient. The food was excellent. I had a ham and leek pie followed by a delicious salted caramel tart. Great to have a place you can rely on! I would definitely return and will be recommending it.

I travel a lot and can say this is by far one of the best hotels. Great comfortable accommodation and superb food.

We arrived at the hotel in the middle of storm Henk which was quite stressful but the staff were very welcoming. 15 mins later the whole village lost power. Although we weren’t able to get a cooked meal they produced a delicious charcuterie board by candlelight. The staff were upbeat despite the situation. The room was very comfortable and we would definitely stay again.

This is my happy place, lovely pub good food staff and accommodation. Our room was lovely with a very large bathroom. Small negatives comfy chairs etc a little grubby plus our room was a little dark, bed a little hard and had a crack in the bathroom sink. To be expected I suppose with the amount of customers etc. didn’t ruin our stay as the positives outweigh the negatives

A superb ‘set up’. Part of the Chestnut group. So very excellent in every way Staff were brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. I shall be recommending!

A friend and I just had a lovely lunch. The service was incredible, the food/drink were delicious and our waitress Chloe was great. Chloe was so friendly, helpful and efficient. We will definitely be going back very soon!

We booked a room here as it was reasonably near the Suffolk Gin Distillery where we had a gin experience booked, and it was a great stay. The staff are lovely and friendly, our room “Boxford” was comfortable and quiet with a good size bathroom, and well equipped with tea and ‘proper’ coffee. We had breakfast included and portions were a good size, and there was a good choice. We both felt we’d like to come back and stay again.
