The Crown Aldbourne

“Nice Pub, Unpleasant Accommodation” We stayed at the pub for one night. From the outside, it’s a traditional and pleasant-looking place, and the atmosphere in the bar was very enjoyable. The food and drink were good , and we had a lovely evening in that regard. Unfortunately, the accommodation left a lot to be desired. As we were shown to our room, the carpets on the landing and hallway were filthy, and the décor was tatty and worn. While the room itself was as clean as it could be, it was shabby and desperately in need of renovation. The so-called “king-size bed” was a king-size mattress awkwardly placed on a double divan base. Breakfast the next morning was another disappointment. We had to call into the kitchen to get someone’s attention, and when the coffee arrived, it was cold. The food was edible, but that’s about the best I can say for it. I would recommend this pub for its food and drinks, as the bar and dining experience was nice. However, the accommodation is substandard and certainly not worth the stay.

We had a Valentines special evening, the service was excellent as soon as we walked through the door, the food was beautifully presented and was so tasty. The table was set up tastefully, just enough for a special meal not ott. Would recommend trying the restaurant if you haven't, you won't be disappointed.

We had an early family Christmas lunch and the food, drink and service were excellent. Our waitress was very helpful and made sure we got everything we needed. Thank you to everyone at The Crown for making our lunch so fantastic. I would recommend this pub to anyone.

Lovely staff and absolutely incredible food! 10/10 My work came here a second time for our Christmas do, we all loved the 101 Bar (private bar) and the food was unbelievably good. Thank you to Clare and Donna for the amazing service! I very highly recommend eating and staying here, a few of my colleagues stayed the night and said the rooms and room service was top notch

I had a lovely Christmas dinner, the service was prompt and efficient and the bearded chef was particularly good. I think he name was sponge or spring onion, or even sputnik? A Jolly large man, I'm afraid my hearing wasn't at it's best. In any case send him my thanks. All the staff made my experience wonderful.

I attended a work Christmas party at The Crown and IT WAS AMAZING! The table was laid beautifully as we arrived and the whole experience felt very personalised. The Christmas menu was delicious, all of my colleagues enjoyed their meal and I was particularly impressed with the veggie option and the generous portion sizes. The service was just as good, everything arrived together both Clare and Donna were super helpful and looked after us all. I would definitely recommend it and will be visiting again!
