It's definitely worth a walk up from the canal. Great food, friendly service, and a good choice of excellent local beers.

Visiting Avebury and West Kennett Longbarrow on a drizzly, autumn day and wanted some hot food. Finding the eateries in the town fully booked for several hours we set off looking for food a little further afield and found this hidden gem less than 10...mins drive away. All our requirements fulfilled: dog friendly, gluten free available, plenty of space. The food was delicious for all and the portions are massive! Plus good selection of beers and other drinks. I highly recommend this pub to anyone!More
Very comfortable pub with friendly staff and the best sandwiches! I had ham and mustard with two thick slices of probably home cooked ham and my husband had the fish finger sandwich which consisted of two chunks of delicious flaky cod in batter. Both served...with fries and salad. Yum!More
Newly opened and very good. Nice food and friendly staff nice location and a large out door sitting area
We often frequent this establishment and i must say the service is quite exceptional, as to be expected considering the prices. We negotiated our way through the queue to the bar where I ordered my usual drink and was promptly given it, however i must...say the straw was vastly bigger than necessary. I know this makes me sound like a simpleton but it is very much intended as constructive feedback.More
Freshly cooked proper food and lovely staff - all at a reasonable price. I have often thought that the staff make or break a place and it is obvious, as soon as you walk into the Crown, that the young and friendly bar and restaurant...staff are genuinely welcoming and care about the place. The Landlord is very present as a traditional 'mine host.' It's an old fashioned term that speaks volumes about the welcome you get from somebody investing in the place and overseeing it so that it runs well. It's not often that you get pub landlords like this anymore - you just get 'bar managers.' Best of all the Chef is the Landlady and so equally invested in the pub, and not just an employee raring to go home. All the food was fresh, copious, and piping hot for an honest bill. You would be hard pushed to find such value for money anywhere else. Long live the Crown!More
Campsite superb, bar staff friendly and go out of their way. Would stay here again but I'm afraid i cannot say the same for the food. After several meals here including 4 nights where i had the lamb madras curry which was lovely i was...served undercooked rice that was hard, swimming in water. I sent it back and was brought another within a few minutes where I was told the chef had said it was oil not water. It was water as Im a former chef myself, and either had been undercooked and not tested or defrosted. The poppadoms this time were not swimming in oil as they. had been on the other occasions [the first time i was served the curry in the pappaodom which anyone knows renders it soggy and inedible. Thid time thought the pappodomes were cooked fine. After being insulted I then tucked into the second plate of lamb curry, the rice was now mostly missing [I had ordered extra the first time] and was a soggy mush and completely over cooked. I refuse to pay £16.95 for undercooked or overcooked rice. Moreover, i had specifically gone to the pub to eat that. I sent it back again after a short delay the server returned were i was promotpy told the chef says you can have something else. i was appalled, what, the chef cannot cook a fresh batch of rice? The rice had been fine the other 4 occasions id had it and the curry delicious. I said no as nothing else appealed. I had taken my insulin so by now my blood sugar was falling and i was forced to buy. a bag of crisps before heading elsewhere. I got a homemade pie stuffed full of meat fresh veg and mash, for £12 down the road. The chips at lunch were returned as being overcooked and inedible and i witnessed other people sending food back, in one instance twice. If a chef cannot cook simple things like rice, chips or poppadoms or is too lazy to make a fresh batch then shouldnt really be running a kitchen. After spending over £150. on meals and drinks there all week I was disgusted by the shoddy, poor attitude. Didnt return to eat there and wont be again sadly even if the campsite and other staff are lovely. The owners were away, i doubt it would have happened if they. had been around.More
The campsite itself was great, although could do with more toilets., but would definitely camp there again. Sadly, the pub food was very disappointing. I ordered the chicken burger, and the burger wasn’t even half the size of the bun it was served in, so...it was all roll and a tiny bit of chicken, (and the chicken was over cooked.) The salad it was served with was just a few bits of lettuce, no tomato or anything else. No coleslaw was given with it as advertised on the menu. The Lasagne had clearly been left under a hot lamp for too long, and so the top of it was very dry and hard. Chips were overcooked. The Lemon Tart was not served with Raspberry Sorbet as advertised. The crumble was served with custard, but the amount of custard served in the tiny jug was not even a mouthful, had to ask for more custard. I would not eat here again, very poor food quality, overcooked and very overpriced.More
Terrible service and food. Ham, egg and chips were tasteless, not even asked if sauces etc were required. Lasagne had to be sent back, it was dry and looked like it had been about for several days. Had the lamb curry instead, was marginally better....Won't be going back, wouldn't recommend, there are much better places locally to eat out.More
Excellent camping field at back of the pub. Lovely toilets and showers. Dog friendly. Easy to walk to the canal. We enjoyed a tasty steak and breakfast before leaving. Regular buses to Devizes or Swindon. Cannot wait to return.
Excellent food and friendly staff. Very quiet location. Dog friendly. We also camped. Basic site but spotlessly clean.
Would not recommend this pub had a midweek meal with family but service was poor, meals arrived at different times, staff not that welcoming and worst of all we were not even offered the menu to enable us to order dessert
amazing services and amazing food, little mix up with the order but so accommodating and fixed the problem with great customer service highly highly recommend eating here
Great Location. Pretty well kept outdoor area, with a stream running throught it. Food good and reasonably priced. St Austell propper Job was excellent.
Visited pub after a drive out to a walk near by.It was at Sunday lunch time and we had nt booked but luckily they had a table for us and our granddaughter and little dog.Lovely friendly staff ,we eat plant based and was nt sure...if they could accommodate us but they were so helpful.Chef came up with a delicious vegan tart,salad and chunky chips,even whipped up a special vegan dressing for the salad.Good sized portion too.Although granddaughter only wanted chips,there were children's portions of the menu available. We are not really pudding people but the owner did mention that they will have some vegan desserts soon.Nice outside area,dog friendly clean and very welcoming and a such a pretty village.Highly recommended.More
