The Crown - Central Bedfordshire

The restaurant was not crowded, but it took 30 minutes for our food to arrive after ordering. The Calamari was lukewarm, but they replaced it without any problem, which was a positive. The butter was too hard to spread on the bread. The olives were decent, and the children's meals looked okay. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.

I had another amazing dining experience at The Crown. Their roasts are excellent and the staff is wonderful. The wine selection is also great. As a vegetarian who doesn't enjoy nut roast, they always accommodate my preferences without any issues, and I truly appreciate that.

I have visited this restaurant a number of times in the past (going back around 10 years though) and I've always had a very good experience until recently.. We were a party of 8 people during a very busy Christmas time. I ordered a beef (Sunday Roast) and it was terrible! Fatty and overcooked. The trimmings very soggy and gravy very thin. This was a £20 meal and definitely not worth it. I would have expected something more.. The service was okay but not very attentive. I'm assuming because it was a very busy period. Then a 10% service charge that I should have asked to be taken off but I didn't.. Based on my recent experience, The Crown wouldn't be my first choice but as I have fond memories of this place, I would probably give it another go during a less busy period..

We went here on our company Christmas meal drinks. The meals were very good served with a friendly polite attitude. All around good atmosphere pleasant staff.

Great food and service would recommend for bottomless brunch. Staff were very accommodating and definitely worth the price
