Sadly, this place closed it's doors as Ben Crouchs Tavern for the last time on Tuesday night. It has been bought out by the 'Geronimo' chain and will be turned into a Gastro pub (to be called The Adam and Eve).

I am one of the people who have been going there for the last 7 years and were on first name terms with all the staff. It's a shame to see it go and their food was always really good for me. Atmosphere was always second to none on a good, busy night but those seemed to die off quite a lot towards the end.

It shall be missed by myself and many others. RIP Ben Crouch, you served us well.

Sadly the place is really going downhill... Not sure if it's because the Eerie Pub company doesn't exist any more, but it's lost a lot of its mock-gothic, dark charm.
Friendly staff and crowd, but the music gets worse with time and the food isn't amazing... Also for people who've been going for a while, you'll notice it's now much brighter in there and very sanitised now (a lot of the décor is gone) which is a shame.
Still, good for a quick pint central.

I really can't understand the couple of reviews saying the food here is good. I like the pub itself, it serves decent beer, and the decor is good fun, it's not too loud and if you can get a table, it's a pretty good place to meet in town. On reading a couple of reviews on here saying the food was pretty good we decided to order something here before a gig at the 100 Club. Big mistake.
My veg. lasagne was small, microwaved to a lip melting temperature with a tiny garnish of floppy salad leaves and 2 slice of tomato for £8. My partner had the burger which arrived with around 10 chips and a cold bun for nearly £8 too. A complete rip-off in my view, which is a shame as the pub itself is pretty good. Drink here, but eat elsewhere...

Popped in here with the wife on Saturday night as she has never been before. Good collection of Goffs and Rockers in so she got the full Ben Crouch Tavern experience. Unfortunately the only handpump on was GK IPA so wasn't so good for me. But suffered a pint of Suffolks supposed finest as the atmosphere and decor was worth staying for one.
Oh, and if you've never been before and want to know what's all the fuss about the decor see the posting from RogerB below for a full description.
