The Crown in Central Bedfordshire

The last time we were here, it was dog friendly, and gratuities were discretionary. This time we were directed to the garden as we had an amazingly well behaived little dog with us. Also, "service charge" was printed on the bill and added to the total, I just hope it is not a management levied charge, and goes to the staff as a gratuity. For these two reasons, we won't be rushing back, and the food too seems to have gone dowhill a bit since last time.

Exellent place to stay over night. Clean and cozy room with very nice bathroom. Pub also very nice and food was excellent. Friendly staff and amazing breakfast. Happy to come back here some day!

Disappointed I'm sure it's a good place and it came recommended but my food was burnt, had lamb rack and made the whole dish taste off and burnt. Not sure if it was something chefy?? As it's called a gastro pub But certainly wasn't impressed. And if a whole plate tastes burnt nothing clever in it Wanted to send it back but was with new people and didn't want to fuss. Service was quick and polite. Given what the dinner cost Don't think I'd go again.

Can't fault the room, but as a business traveller not serving breakfast is a huge negative. So much so that I cancelled a 3 night stay next month. Food very pricey for what it is.

Very nice food, service was excellent and staff were all very pleasant. Was there with another 8 people and everyone enjoyed the food and drinks. The only reason for the lost start was for the linguini with crab and prawns. We ordered the large portion and it was actually quite small for 18.95 apart from that everything was great.

Thank you for an amazing dining experience. We had the meze and wings for starters, 16oz steak and chicken burger. Could not fault a thing. 1st class service and quality. Thank you for a beautiful evening.

Overpriced Wetherspoons pub grub! The same seasoning used on 3 dishes ordered, I’ve literally had better table service at McDonald’s, I asked for a drink 3 times and still had a wait of 5 minutes from the last time I asked.8 tables occupied in the restaurant 4 waiting staff! You do the maths.Not till I was paying the bill was I asked if everything was ok, but also saw a lot of standing around chatting with the waiting staff .Good service is NOT hard!The wait on the drink was noticed and taken off the bill too little to late I paid and left, I won’t be eating here again.

Food, Drink and service were excellent. A little pricy as there main food item seems to be burger (they are very good burgers). Meal for 2 starters and burgers (no dessert) came to nearly £70. Another £20 and the prices would have been on par with top London restaurants. Really busy restaurant with good service. We would go again only on special occasions given the price.

A lovely Gastro pub - will visit again for drinks. Very friendly staff, good selection of wine and beers and great outdoor seating areas. The only suggested improvement would be to offer more plant based foods options. The value for money for food isn’t great but presentation and taste is a winner.

I love this place. Even through the restrictions you can eat and drink, feeling confident about safety and cleanliness while having a "normal" meal out.I felt at the Crown, it is possible to remember what being out, used to be, pre covid. Staff are extremely professional, attentive and efficient. Food was amazing and the cocktails are worth going back for as well!
