The Crown Stoke By Nayland

Very enjoyable family overnighter at this lovely pub with rooms. Very friendly and helpful staff. Delicious Sunday roast and breakfast.

Yes , at &70 for lunch for a couple that see these trips out as a real treat the food should be good. It’s was fantastic, Sea Bream cooked to perfection, my Pork tenderloin was succulent and well seasoned. However, the top shout goes out to lovely Lucy. Working the Summer season showing passion for the Crown and customer service beyond her years. Happy birthday to my wife Lou, and a big tick to anyone taling their special someone to The Crown in Stoke By Nayland. Fantastic ❤️

Overnight stay happened to be when Beer and Cider festival was on. Had fabulous weather so an very enjoyable evening. Good event, the team worked very hard to put it on. In terms of The Crown, we had a very enjoyable stay. Staff helpful and friendly. Dinner was good quality and nice accompanying wine list. Accommodation was good, excellent shower! Room was quite hot but bearable. Good breakfast, cooked was very good but buffet selection seemed a little lacking when compared to other Chestnut places we have stayed at. This is only a minor observation and in no way tainted our stay. We will come back

We had a dinner, bed and breakfast stay, the room was lovely and the food was excellent! The person who served us our evening meal was really good, knowledgeable and entertaining. The very well-tended garden must be one of the best pub gardens around.

Horrible disappointing.. one of the worst Sunday roast I ever had, and I did try a lot.. service 0 stars 🌟. Don't waist ur money.. 210£ 3 adults 2 kids 1 bottle of wine that a lot for disgusting food

Beautiful rooms and gardens at this establishment. Breakfast was wonderful - tables outside in the gardens

Lovely stay

Was expecting a top notch Sunday lunch considering the price point, however was extremely disappointed with an underwhelming meal. Building and surroundings pleasant enough, obviously would rather stack the customers in where they can as tables so close together you have to squeeze past other diners. Had an early booking as it was apparent The Crown gets busy and to get the first round of roasties etc rather than reheated later in the day. Sadly the whole meal was lukewarm and the gravy wasn’t even hot to warm the food up. Broccoli had lovely green stem but the florets tops were yellow, new variety? No, as other roast had lovely green floret tops. Yorkshire pudding nice on outside, doughy and eggy inside, had to scrape the innards off as it wasn’t pleasant in taste or texture. 5 little bits of carrot, cooked ok but again lukewarm as was the cabbage, even though under the beef which should have kept the heat in, but didn’t because, yes you guessed it, that was lukewarm too! To be fair the beef was tasty, tender, but why ask if you want it rare or well done if it all comes out the same (well done). Roasties, the ultimate test of a good roast dinner, very poor, lukewarm, tough as if had been cooked early doors and left out all morning, maybe that’s why everything was lukewarm, pre plated and they forgot to nuke it when the order was sent out? The gravy, what little there was was again lukewarm and bland. Sad to say for £25 it was probably one of the worst roast dinners I’ve had. Ate most of it as I was hungry and didn’t have brekkie as I was expecting a good feast. Probably won’t return as had much better meals about £7/£8 cheaper, and better atmosphere and less cramped. Expected more from this company and establishment.

Beautiful location in lovely little town. Perfect for a two or three day stay! Food was excellent, outdoor dining area lovely!

Lovely gardens for a summer lunch. The grounds are beautiful and well tended. Lovely extensive menu that offer small plates as well as larger mains. Thouroughly enjoyed the small haddock and chips which came with a small pot of mushy peas and a small pot of tartare sauce. The batter was lovely and crispy and didn’t taste fatty at all, equally the chips. My friend had the burger, which was a tower filled with lettuce, tomato and slaw to accompany the burger. She was a little disappointed the slaw was a meagre offering in the burger rather than a more substantial side.
