About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
  • Innovative
At The Westleton Crown, we are passionate about the quality of our food. If there are two words to describe the food, they would be 'hearty' yet 'sophisticated'.
Head Chef, Kieran Drinkwater, and his highly skilled team pride themselves on their imaginative and varied menus which have earned us a 2 AA Rosette restaurant award, as well as a considerable reputation.
All of our meals are prepared on the premises, using the finest, freshest ingredients and local suppliers wherever possible. The same level of care goes into the preparation, whether it’s a hearty breakfast, a simple lunchtime snack, a relaxed meal with friends, indulgent dinner or traditional Sunday roast. Our breads are baked daily in the kitchen; the soups, pâtés and all of our delicious desserts are home-made – even the ice cream.
Our menus are perfectly complemented by an extensive and sophisticated wine list or maybe our selection of real ales.
We look forward to you dining with us soon.

    The restaurant said it was dog friendly,it may have been,but as a non dog owner it was certainly not friendly with dogs yapping at each other all through the meal. Keep them out of the dining room.

    Lovely meal, it was a special occasion for my husband. Starters and mains were excellent but our pudding was almost cold when served. So that bit was disappointing. Overall very nice but not sure whether we will go back.

    Very good service with friendly staff on a busy bank holiday weekend. Good food catering for vegetarians and good choice overall. WE very much enjoyed our two dinners at the Westleton Crown. Thank you!

    The service was very slow this evening which was disappointing - not the fault of the staff who did their best on a busy evening, although they could have updated us during the hours wait for the food to come. We saw other diners who were similarly frustrated. The portions were small - cod loin (varied in size across the three people who had it) and chocolate surprise which was much bigger on another occasion.
