| Ember Inns appear to pride themselves in turning once decent pubs into cheap, plastic, tacky, snack bars (you could never call them restaurants). The Crown alas is no exception. After sampling a revolting (Hubby's words) pint of TT Landlord, the sticky tables, the 'car park' for which they expect you to pay, the disinterested staff and the atmosphere of a funeral parlour we left never to return!! 1/10 (the garden centre next door is very good) PissFlap - 11 Jun 2011 15:08 |
| The Crown is a peaceful upmarket pub which concentrates it efforts on good food and very reasonably priced real ale.The garden is probably the best in the Borough.There are always five real ales available,London Pride, Adnams Broadside, Harvey's Best Bitter appear regularly alongside guest ales such as Rudgate Ruby Mild and Ubu from Purity.Whenever I have stopped for a pint the Crown has been really busy, food probably dominates but not to such an extent that a drinker feels out of place. slerpy - 25 Jan 2011 15:37 |
| This pub now has a New and Experienced Manager. What a difference it is making. There have been some changes to the way Ember is conducting its business and what it is trying to achieve. This pub now has a dining area where you can get table service if you want it but you can also still just go into the bar area and have a drink. The yob element that so many complain about is being stamped out. As with anything new, there is some learning curves for both Staff and the customers that have been in the pub since before the changes. All in all I have to say the pub is changing for the better. The prices are still good value and you don't feel under pressure to eat up quickly because they need the table. I look forward to seeing this pub in 3 months time once the manager has finished her magic. BioGuyver - 19 Sep 2010 10:52 |
