Had the loveliest dinner last night … excellent food, charming service (bilingual, too!), only regret that I couldn’t sample the wines as I was driving.

We had dinner at the Crown last Saturday evening. I have to say that it has been the best dinner I have had at the Crown for such a long time.
Me and my husband have been coming for probably ten years. New Chef? Felt like it. The puddings were much lighter and to sound really poncy, refined and fresher feeling.
The starters and mains really well thought through and nicely balanced. We were bringing friends from London who eat well and are brilliant cooks and they were really impressed. It is the relaxed atmosphere that is the key as the food slowly makes an impression. It was lovely thank you so much.
