The Crown Inn - Melton

Me and a mate stopped for a pint but soon realised this was a family pub and full of kids. A decent enough service here but in the end not for us so moved on to the nearby Compass. which had a better vibe.

Not a pub for grown ups or a quiet pint since the beer garden is over run by noisy children. The outdoor area also faces a car park and lacks atmosphere.

It was a Monday night I'd been let down by the other pub in the village not serving food . The landlady rustled me up pie and mash , very tasty and generous portion , nothing was too much trouble and the atmosphere was extremely friendly . Lovely pub which I would recommend visiting .

Revisited after not being to this village for a couple of years. Disappointed at the loss of the choice of a local beer but a nice pint of Timothy Taylor. Unfortunately the pub was cold and keeping coats on was necessary . No food available and stand in barman stated no chef employed at present. Persistent and loud swearing from local men in the bar area made the atmosphere unpleasant for my family . No owner or manager available to complain to . A real swing down for what was once a very pleasant pub.

Great interior with large pool table. Sadly the atmosphere is rather stale and the service disinterested.
