Have been here twice since the new outdoor eating has been allowed. The first visit we could not fault any aspect at all. The 2nd visit was completely different. Unfortunately they were short staff which can't be helped sometimes, but upon arrival we were informed they were fully booked. I had booked online and was very forcefully told "everyone was being told last week not to book online as it doesn't work". We had such a good time the week before we booked again and if we had of been told of such an instruction, I would have called and booked. The two ladies were rushed off their feet taking orders in the garden, but 5 large group tables came in after us and were served drinks and food orders taken before us. As said the ladies were very busy, so may have been hard to keep an eye on what was what - no problem. However, when we did order, although the order was read back to us and confirmed when the guy came to take payment a meal was missing. That being said as with all the times we've been to the old crown before, the food was perfect. Well presented, hot and fresh. Couldn't be faulted. Our child's meal was great. The menu had plenty of choices. One note of feedback: turn the hot drinks machine on before 12pm. Even with the hiccups I would still not hesitate to recommend this place. You won't be disappointed with the food here. Make sure you order the chips! Regardless, we will definitely be back.
