    Lovely dinner for mothers day, whole family enjoyed the meal and a good selection for non roast dinner eaters as well. I would have liked some better kids desserts rather than just ice cream so we got them adult desserts other than that we have a new favourite place to eat

    We went here for Sunday lunch after a lovely 3k loop walk, ending at the pub. I think it is fair to say that the service was by far the best we have had in a pub in years. So friendly, so attentive. Huge portions, great roast, including the kids portion size roast! Lots of little rooms to sit in which meant that even though the pub was quite full, it didn’t feel it busy. Overall, we were very pleased we chose the Crown and Horns! We’ll be back.

    First time at the Crown and Horns, we all enjoyed our Sunday lunch, only disappointment was that they had no lamb, not sure if run out by 12.30 or it was not on that Sunday but the beef was lovely. Our table was booked for 1.30pm but we were early this was not a problem as they sat us at the table straight away, they did not rush us at all and we had a leisurely lunch. All 4 of us said we would definitely meet up there again 🍷🍴

    Crown & HornsResponded on December 19, 2022Hi Karen, Thanks for the lovely review. We are pleased to hear you all enjoyed your visit with us and look forward to your return. We apologise that lamb wasn't an option this week, we keep the menu varied each week so we had Gammon as a change this particular week. We hope to see you again soon

    What a great pub and good food at reasonable value. The hostess was particularly warning to our small party and well looked after. Good choice of beer and wines and the gin shelf looked like it was more deserving of an evening by the fire and an overnight stay. They have rooms but we did not have time to explore but the beer garden could be a fun place during the summer months. We went on a Wednesday lunchtime so it was a little quiet but it was beautifully decorated ready for Christmas and I bet there will be some super parties.

    Looong delays for food once ordered….. long delays between courses, puddings served to half our party, the other half 20 mins later. Soups came cold in hot bowls, main course looked like it had been thrown on the plate and was mediocre. We have had many meals with you, but won’t be returning I’m afraid

    Sadly our lunch was disappointing. There were items on the menu that we ordered and were told up to 20 mins later that they weren't available. The service was slow, looked like this was due to low staff members. We were a family group of 12, which is a challenge to any venue. Three of our group did not finish their main courses due to the burgers being overcooked. This may not be typical, but our visit was disappointing.
