    We have dined at the Crofton a few times over the last 12 months. The food has been consistently good. The stars of The Crofton are the team. Always friendly and welcoming.

    Came for the first time for a Mother’s Day treat and we all had a lovely roast dinner. The place was really busy but all the staff were all so welcoming, friendly and attentive. The Yorkshire puddings were homemade and huge, the roast beef and lamb portions were very generous. Will definitely return

    Welcomed into the restaurant. Nice atmosphere and genuinely interested staff. The food was nicely presented and generous with portion size. We have been visiting The Crofton over 20 years now for various occasions and have never been disappointed.
