Been here 5 times now with my young son and his mother. Great food, well priced,menu is nice and simple. The staff seemed friendly as well as the local people. Took my dog in there on one of the visits, he was greeted with a...bowl of water, he enjoyed eating the apples that fell off the tree. 100% I shall be keep returning when I fancy eating out.More

We found this pub on a recent holiday as it was a short walk from where we were staying. We loved the look of it and decided to pop back with some local friends for lunch a couple of days later. What a mistake... We...all ordered lunch and a couple of rounds of drinks - no complaints there, but were astonished as we were about to leave to be shouted at in front of other customers by a couple of very rude female staff for 'letting our [friends] toddler ruin their lawn'. He had in fact been picking up and playing with a few handfuls of dry mud from one of the many holes in the already extremely parched and patchy grass. I asked the lady who created the fuss whether she had children, to which she replied 'no, I have dogs and I keep them under control' (we saw them in cages at the back of the pub on our way out...) It seems it is not just the decor and ambience of the pub that is old-fashioned/completely out of date. I feel I should make special mention here of the young staff members who served us, who were nothing but polite and courteous. It strikes me that the older staff / management could learn a few lessons from their younger colleagues! Appearance: 5 Food: 4 Attitude: -10More

This is potentially one of the best country pubs we’ve visited. It is full of character, jovial locals, lovely garden and utterly fantastic food at a reasonable price. Kitchen staff and young servers were lovely and attentive. However, during a second visit for lunch we...were verbally attacked by a rude member of the management staff. While we were getting ready to leave our friends 3 year old boy had picked some dirt out of a hole that was already there by a bench and was putting it into his little toy train. She could have politely pointed out that she wasn’t happy with this, but chose to scold and shame us. Then a second lady came out and also verbally attacked us, saying that we should control our kids like she controls her dogs. We get the impression that dogs are most welcome, but children and families are not, so we won’t be returning. If you do go with children, make sure you chain them to a bench, or keep them locked away in a dingy corner of the pub (like they do with their dogs). This should be a 5 star review, but came away feeling sickened and upset. Such a shame this beautiful place is being run by people who are clearly in the wrong trade.More

better staff could return the place to the good old days, the attitudes of staff are losing local custom and the beer also is not as good as it used to be,

Where to start ? First of all you’ll never happen across this village pub. It’s in the middle of nowhere, but not too far from the A38 at Churchill. As you drive by it doesn’t look like a pub. Think country cottage. So that’s the...hard part. Finding the place. There is some parking outside, but they have a huge car park just down the road in a field. Once you get to the pub you find a few tables outside on the patio at the front. Wander through the pub to the garden and they have dozens of tables. Now for the menu. It’s all on a blackboard on a wall inside. Fairly limited, but it’s all you’d want from a country pub. Now for the best bit. You have got to try their rare beef ploughman’s. It is simply sublime. Go find the pub and get the rare beef ploughmans. Highly recommendedMore

Having heard so much about the pub over the last few years we decided one sunny day to go for lunch... Having arrived the place was busy but the spacious outdoor dining areas over several levels meant there was a nice shady spot to sit....The menu is small but perfectly formed and I chose the farmers platter whilst the OH went for the tuna mayo sandwich. Food was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. There is a good selection of ales and we will definitely be backMore

Great venue, great vibes, great service, and the Ploughman’s / Farmers lunch were incredible. Will be back.

After seeing a glowing recommendation for the Crown’s Ploughman’s online, my girlfriend and I decided to go and give them a try. Wow!! This little gem of a pub, hidden off the road near the traffics lights was packed. We got lucky and got a...window seat and order a Ploughman’s and a Farmers Platter, along with a coupe of ciders. We were told there would be a 45 minute wait, which was understandable, given how busy there were. A lovely atmosphere, and the company I was in, made eve wait no problem, and it was well worth the wait when our order came out. Two fabulous plates of food were presented to us. My Farmers Platter consisted of medium rare beef, ham, and cheese were all great quality, with a lovely salad, very fresh bread with real butter and pickles and salad dressing. My girlfriend had a Ham & Cheddar Ploughman’s, which was equally as impressive! We will without doubt be returning again, although I think we may have to try and book ahead next time!!More

I had lunch here today with family. The ploughman’s was huge and delicious. I would highly recommend. Very busy on a Monday lunchtime but as it was a beautiful day there was plenty of space. Very dark inside and steps which were not obvious. Would...be an issue for less abled body people. I will be a returning customer.More

After reading several reviews we weren’t sure about going in for food. How wrong were we, the staff were welcoming, the food was excellent, the company was really good. Never met the couple we shared the table with, we were a party of two on...a large table, they wanted a table. We shared, they have been eating in the pub for over 14 years. Nice to go somewhere and everyone was friendly. It’s an old fashioned working village pub. The sort you grew up with, or I should say I grew up with. Flag stone floors, rough wooden seats. But I personally hope the don’t change the place, it’s a part of the character of the place. Absolutely loved the place, just a shame I don’t live closer.More

A lovely and characterful pub. Excellent beer and great home cooked food Represents fantastic value for money Have made many visits over the years and have never been dissatisfied

Rude staff, rude owners. Serving at least 15 obviously underaged customers without asking for ID, some of whom caused trouble. Will be reporting to relevant authorities.
