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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Staying in the local area and visited with my wife, dad & his wife and WOW what a find this was, starting with an excellent land lady whos welcome was worthy of 6 stars !. Moving onto the food which was epic! considering we live...near the east coast we all opted for the fish & chips which we all agreed was probably the best we have had for a VERY long time cooked to perfection with amazing chunky hand cut chips mushy peas also all cooked & seasoned to perfection!. Ending with a perfect little cheesecake desert which was excellent. All in all very much worth the visit & if we didn't live four & a half hours away we would be proud to call this our local. If you are staying in the area on holiday you need to visit here for food!. Oh & they also sell local honey & have good real ales!! .More

Michel, Chef and her team are absolutely fabulous. A nice warm inviting atmosphere, I’m not local but such a warming pub to visit. We came for the fish and chips night which was the most succulent, tender fish I have never had - I shall...be visiting more often for evening meals so long as you pre book as the village pub is very busy!More

Bar full of locals - great if they make space at the bar for you to be served and reach your drinks but these ones didn't. Cheerful landlady but was not helpful at all and when we asked if we could eat we were told,...quite curtly, that they start at 6.30pm (it was 5.15). We said fine okay, we'll have a couple of drinksand smiled. Then we were told, again rather curtly, that they were fully booked and she turned away to her local clients. Not a problem being full as we could (and should?) have rung ahead. But there were four tables in a side room that were not reserved, although others clearly were. The pub definitely had the vibe of 'locals only welcome, travellers, newcomers and tourists stay away'. Perhaps it was just us they didn't like..... never again.More

Lovely pub with an outstanding hostess, Michelle 😊 Food was tasty and the chef accommodated our vegetarian requirements perfectly! Michelle was so helpful and went out of her way to help us….she even provided us with a bottle of milk to take back to our...lodge as all the shops were closed on our arrival. The following day we had car issues and needed a lift to the local train station, we went back to The Crowne Inn to ask Michelle about local taxis. She was more than happy to help and ended up driving us to the train station!! Absolutely lovely lady….would recommend this pub without hesitation ☺️More

Excellent Sunday lunch, and a delicious pudding as well. We had one of the ales that went down a treat too. The pub is cosy...a real country pub feeling...but what really makes it is the landlady.She is so friendly and welcoming and works hard to...make sure guests are happy and have everything they need.Well done and thank you.More

WOW! Fish n' Chip Night (Thurs) is not to be missed!! As soon as we knew is was fresh fish our orders were placed and our meal and dessert exceeded our expectations. Delicious Hake in the lightest of batter with proper potato chips and buttered...crushed peas followed by a choice of homemade dessert. Do not pass this little unassuming country pub by - it is so worth a stop for the amazing food and the fabulous hosting my Michelle and her little team.More

We spent a week in a Lodge nearby and we ate at the Crown 4 times. Michelle is an excellent landlady and the pub is so welcoming. The menu was spot on, more than a pub. The food quality was very good. We ate in...the restaurant three times including Sunday lunch. The food portions were just right and not too big so we could sample puddings. The Sunday lunch which they only serve one was nicely cooked, gammon with a homemade parsley sauce and lovely roasties and veg. Lemon posset and the chocolate mousse was so good my husband had it twice. The fish and chips was so fresh with Cornish cod which fell apart and the colour showed how fresh it was, covered in a thin non greasy batter. Chips great. Seafood sharing platter was very good too. They have a well priced and good quality wine list and they keep their cask beer excellently. Always good to go in a pub and see all the locals drinking the cask. The pub has a real community feel and it was very welcoming. We will definitely return to the lodge and the pub again. Absolutely spot on.More

We had a lovely evening at The Crown at Clunton on 29th June. A very warm and humerous welcome was received from a lovely landlady. The waiting on staff were happy and efficient. We had a wonderful evening meal which we all enjoyed tremendously. Everything...was perfect and we are looking forward to returning for more of the same soon. I would recommend The Crown very highly.More

Compared t our last visit the pub has been transformed . Not so much in appearance ,as cleanliness ,attention to detail eg lots of low non alcohol drinks choices. The food was excellent , a short menu but everything cooked and served with style. If...we can get a reservation we will definitely go againMore
