Crown Inn, Lintonback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Excellent sunday roast. Good selection of ale. Staff very friendly and attentive.
Fly infestation on our visit but that did not put off what was a very nice experience.

Would agree with 'Kev_And_Jo' s review apart from the completely false comment on microwave food. One of the other pubs does better business on the food front than the Crown, and for very good reason. The other pub didn't actually do food last time I looked. Hope you continue to enjoy the fine ales there...

Popped in on Tuesday on the way home from Cambridge, had a lovely pint of JHB, my girlfriend had a cracking pint of Woodfordes Admirals Reserve. Lovely fire, Locals a bit in their own world, but then it is their local! Fella behind the bar very friendly and helpful, will have to eat there sometime soon....

Brilliant village pub with atmosphere, character, well kept beer, particularly the regular Woodfords Wherry, and above all Marcus's excellent food.
Clearly the food is freshly prepared unlike the "Break Bros" Microwave stuff dished up at the other pubs in the village.
Will always visit when ever in Linton.

A lovely cosy pub which served a very nice pint of Woodforde's Wherry. Good character and prompt service. I wasn't bowled over by the choice on the menu, but that's more personal preference than a criticism. Would certainly come back for the beer and the ambience though.

In an area with quite alot of competition, this pub stands out from the rest.
I use the pub and restaurant for business entertaining simply because you can be guaranteed excellent service and food. Also, I have a number of international visitors who all love the atmosphere, the friendliness of staff and customers alike as well as the range of beers (lagers and ales).
All in all an excellent place for lunch, dinner or just a drink.
I have a guest that will be using the accommodation soon. I'll update on that to see if it lives up to the rest of the pub.

Enjoyed their fish and chip night on April 20th. Delicious. Every Monday.

Have been in again, and had a fabulous meal. I chose pretty much the same dishes as last time and, on this occasion, it was as good as before but served on warm plates.

Had a meal with some colleagues here this week. It's my first visit for about five years.
I had roasted plum tomato soup to start- totally delicious, with two pieces of baton bread.
My main course looked fantastic, tasted wonderful, BUT was cold when it arrived at the table. Served on a cold plate, I had slow braised blade of beef, with confit of glazed carrots and parsnips and mash. The mash (strangely) was piping hot. The rest was cold. The serving of vegetables amounted to two pieces each of carrot and parsnip.
Deja vu! Last time I dined here, it wa exactly the same. Good food, pretentiously presented in small portions, on cold plates.
It would be so easy to rectify. The chefs obviously know what they're doing, but to let their own cooking down in such a fundamental way is not good enough. The dessert of Christmas pudding with brandy cream was lovely.
We all enjoyed our meals, even though only one was at a sensible temperature.
Great, well-kept beer in the bar.

A smashing pub serving consistently good beer. They were in the CAMRA's Good Beer Guide last year, and deservedly so. The front bar looks reasonably small and cosey, but packs in a surprisingly large number of people when required. They have a good reputation for food too, but I've not eaten here before.
