Wife and I returned on 10 April for dinner with a friend who has a new puppy which was no problem for the restaurant staff (Becky, Millie & Ellie) who sat us in a "dogs allowed area" inside (pouring with rain outside) and even brought Bobby his own drinking bowl . The food was of the same high standard as our prior visit -we recommend the Fish & Chips and wife and I shared the Mega Mix Grill - All perfectly cooked in a warm and friendly atmosphere . We used to travel out of town to Country pubs but having discovered the Crown on our doorstep so to speak, this has saved on needless travel - thank you again the great staff at the Crown. Prior visit experience below My wife and I dropped in for a late lunch as were passing close by the Crown Broadhurst Avenue Bournemouth, and thought why not. There was plenty of parking, the place was warm and welcoming and the staff - Becky and Molly - brilliant both highly efficient and helpful with our menu choices. Great to have staff that care about one's entire meal experience. The mega mix grill was outstanding being perfectly cooked and presented - thank you Parking: Easy to navigate and plenty of
Such a lovely atmosphere upon arrival very welcoming The staff were brilliant with my 2year old son The food was the best home cooked style food I have ever had So glad we have found this little treasure we shall be using this pub again thank you to all staff xxxx Dietary restrictions: Great gluten free menu
The service and the food were very good. Very disappointed that a group of three men on the next table were using foul language and were vaping some of the time.
No prawn cocktail. Service was very slow. No tab running, (One was run for years with previous landlord, John, with no upset). Extras not offered e.g. mustard, Mango chutney had to be requested for curry. Staff were pleasant but there was no 'soul' in the premises. It seemed like it was all process, process, process and customers were there to serve the needs of the business. The place was clean and tidy and neatly laid out - it was noticable but the heart of the place was missing.
Nice food very reasonably priced Staff very helpful
It was OK. Not particularly warming. No meet and greet, we had to find our own reserved table. It was clearly marked 5
Although the bar was not very busy took about 45 min for 4 main courses to arrive. Lucky we were not in a hurry.
I was served by the lovely maddie, Matthew and Hugo on a Saturday night! Xx
Had a lovely meal. Service was excellent. the only disappointment was someone smoking in the entrance outside and you could smell the smoke inside.
I booked a table on line but no table was reserved even though you confirmed the booking. But food was excellent and the service from Beckie was also Excellent
