Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We came up for a family funeral where the after service 'get together' was held. Due to the distance we travelled, we also decided to stay over in two of the rooms at The Crown. Staff were attentive and excellent in the service they provided...- a credit to the place. Rooms were clean, warm and cosy with everything you would wish for and more. We thought the food & drinks were good value having eaten in the evening there and the included breakfast with the room rate was more than enough. All good quality and always served with a smile. Large car park and free WIFI - would recommendedMore

Food OK nothing to write home about.And then they add a 10% service charge. Madness you’re not a top restaurant.

We visited with a group of 10 friends for an evening meal, the staff were very pleasant but we had a mixed bag with the quality and quantity of the food. Firstly they had completely run out if one of the specials, easy to advise...when you sit down at the table not when you have chosen your order ! Secondly the prices are reasonable but what was extremely disappointing was the high price tag for the calamari rings, when they arrived there were 3 rings, I don’t think calamari is an expensive seafood in the realms of scallops when 3 would be acceptable, needless to say this was returned. Lastly the main courses, some where good, some not, mainly due to over salting of the vegetables and seasoning on the linguine. Overall some simple changes would have made this a really good meal, we did pay for everything , aside from the returned calamari, and the service charge as none of the above was caused by the serving staff who were always pleasant.More

The fixed price menu is outstanding value. The food is the high quality food you expect from The Crown and 3 courses for less than £20 (even cheaper with a loyalty card) is quite amazing considering the ever rising costs in the hospitality trade. And...of course it goes without saying that the service was, as usual, first class.More

Enjoyed a lovely birthday meal here with my family. Food was amazing. I particularly enjoyed the sharing roast dinner which had such generous portions I couldn’t finish! All served with the best pork crackling I’d ever tasted!! Service was brilliant, didn’t have to wait too...long to order or for our drinks. Waiting staff returned to the table numerous times to check everything was ok or if there was anything else we needed. Atmosphere was lovely. A very happy family who went away extremely impressed and who will definitely be returning!! Thank you all so much! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️More

Stayed for 2 nights rooms are good comfortable beds. Evening meal was lovely although pricey. The only thing that let it down was the breakfast. Avocado needed to be mixed with lemon and black pepper. Bread / toast very hard. Small breakfast disappointing in taste.

Three of us got the vegan burgers, and unfortunately they were burnt which made them dry, as was the bun, and there was very minimal sauce on the bun. Beyond burgers are the juiciest vegan burger, and they are hard to burn! So we were...disappointed with that. The staff however were great and the place was nice.More

The Crown gave us the very best beginning to our vacation! Flying into Heathrow from America and then driving to Henlow meant that we checked in late, but they still welcomed us warmly, showed us to our lodgings and found us a table in the...bustling dining room. We enjoyed fish and chips with moist, flaky fish in a light, almost tempura-like batter. Our room was very comfortable, done in a country-chic decor, with excellent coffee/tea making facilities, even providing a bottle of milk for our tea in the mini-fridge. The full English breakfast, included with the room, was delicious, with everything perfectly cooked/grilled without being dried out, and the sausages were the tastiest ever! We ended up making The Crown our pub of choice for the entire stay, chatting over a pint with jovial bar patrons and marveling at the family atmosphere for Sunday roast, where the staff remained pleasant and efficient despite the very full dining room. The owners were always present, making sure everything ran smoothly and genuinely caring that both their staff and customers were happy. We can't wait to go back!More

Though the staff were very pleasant and helpful the food left a lot to be desired. Out of the 4 meals ordered my wife’s sea bass was the only one to come anywhere near the minimum standard you would expect. 2 of us ordered the...mussels and they arrived cold and the sauce was completely tasteless. One of the bowls brought to the table was full while the other was less than half full with an inch layer of sauce in the bottom. The pork was not what was ordered and not hot. So 3 out of 4 meals did not meet our expectations.More
